BIG STANDING i
ASKED FOR
Secretary Submits Plans?Asks for
Compulsory Military Service
Secretary of War Baker has presented
the War Department with a
measure calling for a standing army
of 1,250,000 men and Senator Chamberlain,
with' Representative Kahn, of
California, sponsor bills of similar import
which are designed to give the
United States a permanent standing
army of trained men.
Provisions of Bill.
Secretary Baker's bill provides for
a regular army of twenty-one divisions
and necessary auxiliary services,
. with a peace strength of 510.000 enlisted
men and a war strength of 1,-^
250,000. The reserves to fill up the
divisions to full strength would be
provided through a modified fopn of
the selective service act under which
the national army was raised for the
war with Germany.
Three Months Training.
For training purposes, j^ouths in
their nineteenth year would be called
to the colors for a three-months period
to be attached to regular divisions,
for that time. It is estimated that
this would provide an annual class of
800,000 men to be given intensive
military instruction, stripped of all
vocational or other educational fea-I
i
tures.
The bill provides for reorganization J
of the regular army in substantially
the same termls as previously recommtended
by Secretary Baker when the
current army appropriation bill was
under consideration.
No mention of the national guard is
made in the bill, but in his letter to
the committee chairman Secretary
Baker said he assumed that the national
defense act would be continued
in force, making the guard subject to
federalization for war.
^ One feature of the universal^ training
plan of the Department is complete
federalization of the registration
and induction machinery.Youths
in training would receive payment for
all expenses and an allowance of $5
a month for incidentals.
Full Details by General Staff.
The theory on which the bill rests
is that an army of 1,250,000 should be
available for rapid mobilization at
need.
To supoprt the plan, general staff
officers have prepared full detailed
" studies of cost, systems of mobilization,
administration and all other features
which the Department is prepared
to submit whenever the Con-1
' " " i
gressional Committees call for them.

lower class of negroes to believe that
such people and papers practically
uphold the criminal, and they are thus
tempted to still more deviltry.
The man who denounces the lynch!
ing mob of a rapist, and who does
J not at the same time denounce the i
| criminal and warn the negroes to pom
i in suppressing the criminals of their
i own race, is, in effect, placing a premium
upon the brute instincts of the
negro criminals and is encouraging
them to commit crimes.
Upon such men, wherever or whoever
they may be, there rests a tremendous
responsibility as aiders and
abettors of the criminal class of negroes
and of arousing among the less
intelligent negroes a bitter race hatred.
No one is more bitterly opposed to
mob law than the Manufacturers Re-,
cord. They who lynch a criminal
lynch the law and the sovereignty of
the State, and whenever lynching for
'one crime is not punished it inevitab|
ly begets a disregard of law which
finds expression in lynchings and murderings
for other causes. But pri

'who justly denounces lynchings fop

extent that would be done if his own

other crimes by falsely leading the negro
race to think lightly of this fearfu!
crime Which brutish negroes commit
against white women.
There are bad negroes and bad
whites everywhere, and upon the
good negroes of which there are
many, and upon the good whites rests j
tremendous burden of denouncing
the criminals of their own races and
of 'working in harmony to build up a
spirit of mutual understanding and

When the negro emigration from
the South commenced a few years ago
we commended it as good for the
\
South and for the North and West.As
the negro moves into other sections
he learns that there is s, race antipathy
wholly unknown in the South.
No such wild mob scenes as those enacted
in Chicago against the negro

1 The negroes are now unquestionably
being influenced by Bolshevistic and
pro-German efforts seeking to bring
about disorders and revolutions in
America, but we have too much confidence
in the good that is in the race,

and in the spirit of Christ which con|

Bolshevists and pro-Germans. The
negro race is infinitely superior to the
men who are thus seeking to mislead
them.

A GREAT REMEDY.
The merits of Chamberlain's Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy are well known
and appreciated, but there is occasionally
a man who had no acquaintance
with them and should read the follow-!
ing by F. H. Dear, a hotel man at Du- j
puyer, Mont. "Four years ago I used j
Chamberlains Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy with such wonderful results
that I have since recommended it to
my friends."
