6 _ We have arranged for a T. aerie* of six interesting articles, "War Talks, by Uncle Dan," written by Mr. Howard H. ? j.fVt Gross, president of the Universal Military Training League, of D< which this is the first. They tell In a graphic way why military | trUin ng is of value, both to the nation and to the Individual, and our readers will find them of i * ma unusual interest.

Tm mighty glad you came, Uncle | Dan. I want to talk to ycu about the, war.

They said the war wouldn't come over here. ' Grandma Jones said: They ain't no wor use to worrit, it will soon blow over.' the Well, we put the training In Just the |)J>f same. You orter heard Judge Brownell. the president of the school board, do the slackers up. He said unless we take off our coats and go to It, Ger-1 jn ] many may yet win, and If she does, she pott will take over the great British fleet as s war trophy and compel us to do what ever she wants to; that she could make >lin us pay all the cost of the war; the s,aP kaiser could tax us as he pleased and said that we couldn't help ourselves. He got could make every one pay over a part deei of wuot he earns; that he could niHltc the farmers puy rent for their own farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you think of that?" I sun eri i "Well, my boy," said Uncle Dan.1 "all that Judge Brownell says might ' " ' easily come true and may unless we go to ^ quickly to the aid of the allies with just large numbers of men and help them ing Kroair the German line. Unless we can e(| ; beat the submarines, they may pre- vvol] vent us from getting enough food to . the allies to keep them going. In that " case Germany would win. As matters Jllst stand today, our greatest need Is trained men. If we had had several evei millions of men with military training w ho In our industries and on our farms j,pj .when the war came, who could linve been called at once for service, I (l do not believe the kaiser would have mat Agreed the war upon us. As It was, he core no respect for us, and now we are His In It and must go through with It. But an(j never again must we be caught so (.(rv wholly unprepared. lea\ "There Is only one safe way," said Uncle Dun. "and that Is to adopt per- u ,M Yh'anently universal military training, *'r s apply It to every young man who Is vvo1' phy-'cnlig say In his nineteenth or li twentieth year. The training can he 7 carried forward In the United States M., training camps that are now being established for training men called by ' ' 1 the selective draft. As soon as these ovo men vacate these stations, they should veK be filled ny younger men, and this his should be made the permanent policy of t of the country." Billle's mother, Mrs. Graham, had overheard the conversation. She came out and said: "Ileally. Brother Dan, are you serious as to the dangers of our country? If it is as bad as that, it Is high time for us to wake up and do l-e* something about it." "Exactly," replied Uncle Dan. "It Is better to wuke up now than to be rudely awakened later. We may as well understand, sister, tttat this is our war and we must win it or God help I America. Everything that we have pui or hope to have?our liberties, our cal blessings, our oppottunltles are all In- sln olved in the great issue before us. J|i>( Nothing must stand between us and winning this war. It Is a question mo whether the peoples' right or the kal- roa ser's might shall dominate the world. 1,14 If there ever was a holy war, this Is me It. We are fighting for world liberty, hai We are fighting for the freedom of ()f humanity. We are fighting for the . right of men to govern themselves Instead of being governed against thei; a" will by a war-mad overlord. Perilous ,)y times are ahead ot us. We must be vo1 prepared to make any sacrifice, to per- cle form any service that may be required of of us." "Ob, Uncle Dan," exclaimed Blllle, "may I bring ray chum, Jlmmle Col- ljn Mns, when we have our next talk? He Is a bug on this war business and .Just 111 crazy to see you." | nu "Certainly," said Uncle Dan, with a hearty luugb. "It we are to have more, talks, I shall be glad to have Jlmmle Join ua." | wl Blllle clapped hie hands and ran to 3? the 'phone and told Jlmmle to be ovei at seven o'clock the next evening. u |fe j v , .'L-y - Tia*. ?
