This series of unprecedented "militarist laws" were passed during the "Prepardness Movement" leading up to U.S. entry into WWI and mandated military training for all boys age 16-19. There were also implications for labor unions included in the Stivers Act which allowed the drafting of any worker age 18-45 and the ability for the state militia to suppress strikes. <br /> <br /> The American Union Against Militarism which was founded in late 1915 and was the forerunner of the ACLU was the primary pacifist organization that opposed the laws and Darwin J. Meserole President of the New York branch contributes an introductory essay titled "The Challenge Must Be Met!" Also included is an essay by New York Call editor Chester Wright "If You Do Not Want Chains Then Join the Fight for Liberty."

Originally published in 1871 The Descent of Man contains the first use of 'evolution' in any of his published works preceding its appearance in the sixth edition of On the Origin of Species by a year and the second edition includes a new preface describing the 'fiery ordeal through which the book has passed'. The final definitive version of the text was the twelfth thousand printed in 1875 with the following printings up to the turn of the century being stereos of it.<br /><br />'In the Origin Darwin had avoided discussing the place occupied by Homo sapiens in the scheme of natural selection stating only that "light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history". Twelve years later he made good on his promise with The Descent of Man in which he compared man's physical and psychological characteristics to similar traits in apes and other animals showing how even man's mind and moral sense could have developed through evolutionary processes. In discussing man's ancestry Darwin did not claim that man was directly descended from apes as we know them today but stated simply that the extant ancestors of Homo sapiens would have to be classified among the primates; however this statement as misinterpreted by the popular press caused a furor second only to that raised by the Origin. Darwin also added an essay on sexual selection i.e. the preferential chances of mating that some individuals of one sex have over their rivals because of special structures colors and types of behaviors used in courtship leading to the accentuation and transmission of those characteristics' Hook and Norman The Norman Library of Science and Medicine 599.<br /> Freeman The Works of Charles Darwin 979.
