GIVE BOYS FIGHTING CHANCE to
WITH MILITARY TRAINING so
tic
(By Wm. Wrigley, Jr., Chicago) t-hi
How fortunate it would have been co
had we adopted universal military an
training five or ten years ago. It trj
would have meant much in the pres- Ve
N ent crisis?it probably would have m)
kept us out of the war. But it's no sti
use to cry over spilt milk. The ques- ta
tion is, what shall we do now? Every jt
thoughtful man must feel that a na- ar]
tion unable to protect itself promptly su
is blind to the tragic possibilities of ap
its heedlessness. War comes unex- Df
pectedly and, as in our own case, it tri
is sometimes forced upon an innocent
bystander." For three years we sub- tic
mitted to insult and injury, until for- y0
bearance ceased to be a virtue and en
there was nothing left for us but to w<
assert our rights and to defend them, ha
No country in the world hates war ejj
more than we do. Only extreme m:
provocation would induce us to take u]
up artns. Experience shows abundantly
that a peace-loving nation is ca
not safe because of that fact. Bel- ou
gium and some of the Balkan states th
are evidence of it. th
As the world is constituted, and na
has been through thousands of years afl
of strife, there is only one safe plan, he
and that is to follow the advice of 8j]
Washington?in time of peace, pre- ar
pare for war. If we had done this a m
few years ago, we would have saved Bi
billions of dollars and tens of thou- p
sands of lives. It is common knowl- rc
edge in military circles that trained tii
men, by knowing how to take care of
themselves in camp and in the field,
reduce the mortality and casualties at
least two-thirds, and, what is even
more vital, men of special training
only can be used in modern warfare. ,
Nationally, we need a little fore- *
sight, a keener appreciation of the T
necessity for providing for future
contingencies., We cut ice 1 in the *
coldest sort of weather when nobody "*
wants ice, for we know it will be w
demanded a few months later; so we s<
prepare in mid-winter, for our com- ai
forts during the heated period of w
summer. *
The plan of universal military P
training a soutlined in the Chamber- ?
lain Bill would make available at all ?
times, millions of young men who g
have had sufficient military training u

enable them to become excellent ?
ldiers with a few weeks of addimal
training. This would safeguard
e nation and prepare it against m
ntingency that would probably arise, u
d if one should never arise, the l
aining and discipline would be the ^
ry best experience that any young I
an could have. It would make him o
ronger physically, more alert men- b
lly, quicker to see and to act. Also. \
would increase his earning capacity 1
id give him a better chance to win
ccess in his life work. Our boys d
ipreciate this. I think the majority a
them would be glad to take the \
aining. c
War is a calamity beyond descrip- ii
>n. We are sorry that any of our
ung men should be compelled to
gage in it, but there are some things x

ilitarism that counts war as a reg- e

Since the boys may at any time be
lied upon to defend our country and ]
ir flap, we owe it to them to provide
em with a careful pre-training so
at they may perform this important
itional function both efficiently and
i safely as possible. We must not ^

is up to the American citizen

SOUTH CAROLINIAN
FIRST MAN KILLED
Washington, Oct. 2.?The first caslalty
among the American troops in
'" ranee was announced today by the
Var Department. Corporal Ernest
*. Hart, of the signal corps, and son
if D. W. Hart, of Oxford, N. C., was

vhich he was practicing behind the
ines accidentally exploded.
The first American soldier killed
luring the Spanish-American war was
ilso a native of North Carolina. He
vas Worth Bagley, a brother-in-law
if Secretary of Navy Josephine Danels.
Doubtless it is true, as a learned
vriter observes, that nearly every
American family could keep a pig on
vnat goes into tne garbage can. out
he facilities of the average flat dwellir
for housing a pig in order to keep

STRIKE RAISES HIGH
COST OF DYING
Boston, Oct. 2.?Residents of this
uity are to ut* cuu^iiv cumin^ ami j^uing,
apparently. Long they have been
suffering from the high cost of living.
Now they are confronted with the high
cost of dying.
A strike has been declared by the
grave diggers. They want $3 a day.
RESIGNS AS GOVERNOR
TO JOIN THE ARMY
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 2.?Keith Nivelle,
Nebraska, millionaire governor, will
resign and enter the army.
He has been appointed colonel of
the Seventh Nebraska regiment and
will begin his new duties as soon as
the regiment is federalized.
"I cannot go on urging the people
of my state to enlist unless I enlist
also," Neville said.
WEAR WOMAN'S CLOTHING.
The following dispatch to the Charlotte
(N. C.) Observer from .Monroe in
Union County, N. C., shows that Camp
Jackson may soon have an old type
of man:
A young man hailing from Goose
Creek is here today wearing a dress,
and to be examined by the local exemption
board for military service.
He is accompanied by his mother, and
they have been all morning waiting
the call from the doctors. The man
wears a real dress. He is about 25
years old, and has never donned a
pair of pants but once in his lifetime.
That was when he was a small child,
and it is said that the ridicules of his
companions so affected him that he
took them off immediately, never to
don them again. All his life has been
spent arouna itocKy mver. w nen
friends hail into sight, it is said, he
will tuck up his skirts and fly for the
sheltering river hanks. The man is
not insane; neither is he a crank. He
bought an automobile. During the
years that have rolled by he has accumulated
a good deal of property, but
he still clings to the garb of a wo>
man. He is unmarried, and if he is
found physically fit he will in all
probability be taken by the local ex'
emption board for the country's third
quota.
