Military Training Necessary for Safety
and Defense.
“Say, Unrle Dan,” said Billie, “Jim
mie and I have born looking up about
war In the encyclopedia at school. We
found that In the war between Ger
many and France In 1870-71, Germany
lost In killed and wounded '28.000 sol
diers while France toot about six times
as many, and besides tint, she lost
every bsttls. We ssksd Professor Slo
cum why this was. He said that the
German army was highly trained and
ably commanded, while the French
aoldters were poorly trained; and that
their war department waa hooey-
combed with jealouaj and politics;
and that's why France lost the wu
and so many mm. What do yon think

casualty rote one-th«rd of what It oth
rrwlse would be. and ngM here Is an
unanswerabis argument far universal
military training.
-Our government hits mi uuwal right
to force tar imo Into war service
without pr«i|NTly troming them for It.
To do so la simply lunrdcr. hence tin*
frantic effort that Is now being made
to give her soldiers Mime training be
fore they are sent to the fr*mt. If we
ure to win this war, it wrtll take trained
men to do It. ttitd it will hike trained
men to win uny other war th.it may
come ujain u* in the future. If we
must tiuht, let us tight to win und not
to lose."
“That's the stuff," said Billie.
Continuing, Uncle Pan wild: “Our
government has expended about $300,-
("’O.O'iO to put up ftintoumeuts aud
training stations In order to train the
men called by the selective draft.
When these men are trained the train
ing stations should be Immediately
tilled with younger men, say those in
their nineteenth year, to receive six
mouths of intensive military train
ing along the lines of the Chamberlain
bill. This will be of immeasurable
benefit to them Individually. It will
do them more good than nny other tw’o
years of their whole life; It will make
them strong, manly, self-reliant, quick
to see and quick to act; It will equip
them for a successful life. In short,
it will rebuild American manhood and
will also give the government a body
of trained men to draw from In case
it Is necessary to defend our flag and
i country. We most settle this question
of universal military training imme
diately, otherwise these training camps
Imay be demolished. The adoption of
universal military training will be no
tice to the world that from then on
we will be prepared to defend our
selves promptly and efficiently, and
this will do more to keep us out of
war in the future than anything else
we could do/'
“Do you think, brother," said Mrs.
Graham, “that there will ever be an
other warf
* “I have no doubt about It," said
Uncle Dan. "So long as men art
setflah, so long as nations are ambi
tions to acquire territory, so long ag
brotherEood of man, tMed^ and then
only, will wars cease. When that day
comes doors will peed no locks, banks
will need no vaults to protect their
treasures, but that day Is a long way
off.
‘“The only safe and sane plan Is to
be able to defend ourselves at all
times. Therefore, every citizen should
insist that senators and copgressmen
shall provide for universal, military
training, so that never again shall the
country be caught so completely un
ready as this war found us. For
tunately, In this case, our enemy has
been held back, so we have had a few
months in which to prepare. This ad
vantage probably will never come
again. It Is however our salvation
today.
“Because she was ready, Switzerland
la an Island of peace In a sea of
war. Safety first Is good, but safety
always la tatter. In strength there Is
safety. * You never saw a tin can
