Kansas City, Mo., July 12. A patri

went to the City Clerk's office today
and registered for military service.
On the registration blank he wrote
his signature as "Loda Ounn." Ho
acknowledged that the name carried
a suggestion of war but did him jus
tice because he was pretty handy
with guns, He expressed a desire to
go to the front and got a chance to
load a gun for Uncle Sam. He was

Havana, Cuba, July 1.1. Cuba is
now experiencing the same-discussion
and problems over obligatory military
service that the United States had
prior to the passage of the recent
service laws in Washington. The Cu
ban Congress is now In session and,
while the leaders of both houses do
not agree on the form in which Cuba's
military law should bo enacted or the
extent of the selective draft, never
theless it is probable that a bill em
bodying the same features as that in
the United States will be passed by
both houses in a few days.
President Menocal has requested
Congress for a sweeping selective
draft law which will exempt none
from its workings. Other leaders be
lieve that this going too far in
this country at this time. Tho work
ing tf the United States law is being
watched with great interest here and
throughout the island. It is estimated
that from the available eligible popu
lation in Cuba an army could be raised
speedily am with slight inconven
ience, should the necessary arise.
The attitude of the administration
toward the pendii measure is well
expressed by Dr. ltlcardo Dolz, leader
of tho Conservative party and Presi
dent of the Cuban Senate, who said
today:
"I cannot think of any reason why
the Conservative party sjiould not
lend its support to the President of
the republic to implant tho obligatory
military service. This is a duty im
posed by the Constitution on every
Cuban citizen, and, therefore, we may
discuss tho details of this service but
not its principle, as it would be
against the Constitution to do so.
Furthermore, we have the American
Congress as an example in passing
recent legislation. During a state of
was the President is' principally re
sponsible for the security of tho na
tion, and Congress should accept all
recommendations from the Executive
under these circumstances, and no ob
structions should be put In hfs way
In times in which the country is in a
state of war.
"Congress, in my opinion, should
grant ungrudgingly all requests from
tise exccuiic"
In" answer to the charge by certain
opponents of the measure that in
terests of education in Cuba would
suffer through a universal draft mea
sure, Dr. Gabriel Casuso, head of the
University of Hanvana, asserted:
"I do not believe that the obligatory
military service will cause any dam
age. I speak, of course, thinking of
the students at the university. On
the contrary, I think the service will
be beneficial, . as the university stu
dents would expand their facilties in
the service of their country and
would form a strong nucleus to di
rect the movement.
"The hands of tho Government
should bo left free to act at this time,
and nil citizens should obey orders.
"I have always advocated physical
culture at the university, and even
recommended that they take military
e:-relses. My contention has been
proved by the fact that In tho last
uprising it was the students who gave
the better service to their country.
"We have gone Into this war to
strengthen our ties with the United
States. Germany Is far away, it is
true, but we must prepare ourselves
for all emergencies."
