Miller, Policy Founded on Might Fails Amsterdam* Aug. 23.?*4A polity based on iriight alone and and not on right is dooiried to failure from the beginning," was the interesting admission made by Dr. Richard von Kdulmann, German imperial foreign secretary, in his inauguration speech to the main committee ol the richstag yesterday. Dr. von Kuehlmann laid down the following programme: First, the maintenance of cor dial relations with the allies, and second with the neutrals, "whose rights and necessary conditions of existance we should be most careful to respect as far as com patible with enemy trickery and our own military needs. "To arrest further defection of important neutrals is an extreme ly serious and important task confronting us," said Dr. von Kuehlmann. "We can only solve it successfully by observing the principle that in politics might counts, but also right and that only if we base our conduct on both can we hope to achieve lasting results. "We have finally to consider our relations with our enemies. Although direct diplomatic relations have been broken, public opinion is not bound by frontiers made by our guns and trenches. It is our important duty to study the psychology of our 'enemies, to follow their intrigues and the changing currents of public opinion, so that our hand may not be proffered when the spirit of our enemies is hard and unbending, and also so that sharp words may not be said when the ice on the other side is melting and a conciliatory feeling is be ginning to be shown."

Charlotte Observer It is quite a cheerful message ( The Washington Star sends the > Kaiser, von Hindenburg, et al. Briefly, it is the effect that "the contemptible army of the United States of America Contains to day exactly 943,141 men, all : volunteer." This includes Army, Navy and Marine Corps? every man a volunteer?with the draft Army yet to come, The further statement is made by the Committee on Public In , formation, from which The Stai quotes, that since the entrance of this country into the world war, approximately 1,300,OOC men have offered themselves foi service in the Nation's fighting forces. It further appears thai duiing the time this country has been a belligerent, 121,514 men have volunteered for service in the Navy and Marine Corps and have been accepted. In the Regular Army the increase has been 190,347, and in the National Guard 136,998, a total of 327,34E enlistments in the Army branch es, and a grand total of 448,85*3 in both Army and Navy. Even this figure does not include all who have been accepted foi service since the United States entered the war, for there have been additions to the various reserve corps, but these figures are not all available. The larg est single item is that of the 27, 341 men recently commissioned from the officers' training camps. ? I. < c . ????? Three Year# of War Leslie's The war that began three years ago has brought us three years nearer to peace. It has done some other things. It has brought us nearer to the time when the people of every land shall rule and be the sover oiorno 1 * A vi^iio v>t uic dlUICf illlU IlUl lilt servants of a sovereign. It has brought the old world tc realize that the aristocracy ol manhood is far better than the aristocracy of birth. It has taught the new worlc that there is something highei tban the making and spending of money and that service tc humanity is the noblest service of all. It has taught the whole work the bitter lessons of adversity and of the chastening hanc which spares not those it loves. Inhuman, cruel, ruthless san guinary, awful in every aspec as this greatest of all wars hai been and must be it will be vvortl its terrible toll if it shall lift ui the eyes of a thoughtless luxuri ous, spendthrift world "unto tin hills from whence cometh on ?? ucip.

In a ! long talk with the correspondent i he told a story, which though ) perhaps unduly pessimistic, ex. plains the persistence of Count Czernin, Austro-Hungarian fore' ign minister, and of Emperor 1 Charles in returning again and i aggin to the subject of peace i negotiations { This Austrian, who spent I several days in Berlin on his way to Copenhagen, had an op! portunity to talk with represen ? tatives of the German foreign [ office. He said that all ot these i men, with the exception of one. were convinced peace was com- 1 i ing before winter. 1 < I Engineer Comes Next Week, Perhaps ( 1 i The editor of The Journal is | ; in receipt of a letter from State ? !

At the lirect suggestion of President kVilson, Provost Marshal Generil Crowder telegraphed to all rovernors tonight a supplementil explanatian of regulations joverning the status of married nen under the draft law. No :hange in regulation is made, md the purpose of the statement s to clear up misunderstandings. In a letter to Secretary Baker, luoted by General Crowder, 'resident Wilson states his opinon that the regulation directing ocal boards "to establish the act of dependents in addition to he fact of marriage ought not to )e abrogated." This leaves the egulations as they are and the supplementary statement is designed merely to make the ap plication of the rules uniform. While the statement regarding named men was in preparation orders were issued changing enirely the mobilization arrangenents previously made. Con- , ;estion of rail traffic and the lecessity of making better pro vision for receiving the men at he cantonments dictated the changes. Under the new orders, five per :ent of the white men, preferably hose with militnrv Pvnorionpn :rom each local area, will be started forward to the camps September 5th instead of thirty :>er cent. They will go in five daily detachments of equal size ind form skeleton company organizations and set up a going xmcern into which the remain let of the total quota can be absorbed without confussion as they reach the cantonments. The next forty per cent of the luota' will go forward Septem aer 19th. when the second thirtv aer cent originally was scheduled :o go; a second forty per cent will go forward October 3rd. instead of the third thirty per cent and the remaining fifteen per :ent will be called up as soon [hereafter as practicable. Local boards are directed to disregard order of liability numbers to some extent in selecting the first hve per cent as men of avnorionpa 1 ' ^a|/v? ivuvv> auvii <13 CUUI&S) UI1U former soldiers are desired at that time.
