Tlie government has the right to call anyone to serve in case of war, and without training, a man Is worth nothing as a soldier. Un cle Sam has splendid new training camps that will soon be availably for the purpose, therefore, here Is double reason why the Chamberlain bill for compu’sory military training should be passed at once, so that every hoy phy sically fit may have this training and not leave it for his parents to pay for.
