CRITIC OF BRITISH
VOLUNTEER SERVICE
ViSC0unt ESher Joins Ranks of
Those Who Believe the
System a Failure.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, September 8, 1910.
The bitter controversy over the merits
or dement's of the territorial army as a
second line Of defense has been given
fresh impetus by the article in the cur
rent number of the National Review,
from the pen Of Viscount Esher. When it
is remembered that Lord Esher is neither
a soldier nor a sailor. although he is a
member Of the committee of imperial de-
Tense, 1t is remarkable that his views
should carry such weight.
Yet whatever his detractors may say
they do carry weight, and where sharp
criticism from competent military men
has been waved aside as biased by sup
porters Of the territorial force, Lord
Esher's views are received with respect
and considered worthy of serious thought
Fears It Has Broken Down.
His lordship, who has been an ardent
supporter OF War Secretary HaIdane's
scheme, now expresses grave doubts as
to whether the voluntary service system
has not broken down. and politicians and
newspapers of all shades Of opinion are
seriously discussing the question, and
asking whether CONSUMPTION is really in
evitable for England.
March 81, 1908, the war secretary waved
his magic wand and converted some quar-
ter of q million volunteers into enlisted
territorials. He promised that England
should have a real citizen army of 3O0,OO0
men. capable Of holding their own against
the armies of the world. and in innumera-
bic rousing speeches he invited the young
men OF the country to walk up and be
trained as sOldiers-volunteer soldiers GER
tainly, but nevertheless soldiers.
Young Men Not Enthusiastic.
The young men. however, were not en-
thusiastic. Successive secretaries of state
for war tinkering about with the citizen
forces had not inspired much enthusiasm,
and the scheme was looked upon as an
other political move on the part of the
government which had just come into
power. In spite Of all. efforts to boom
the force not only did the men not come
up to join, but many of the former volun-
teers resigned, and the fact has been in
disputably proved that England cannot
maintain a volunteer force of more than
100000 to 10000 men.
1t is even doubtful whether these num-
bers can be counted on for long, for
with the increasing stringency Of the
training insisted upon young men show
less and less desire to join, end old vol
unteers less desire to continue in the
service.
Lord Esher attributes the unpopularity
of free military service as well as gratu-
itous service Of any kind to the state to
the advance Of democracy"

NOT HERoEs-GOoD CITIZENS.

Lincoln, or some other man who
was always saying things worth re-
%membering, once said: "The country
needs a hero seldom; but it needs good
honest citizens every day" And so it
is with a town. No town needs a
hundred great commercial lights for
every four thousand of population,
but every city does need four thou
sand good, honest, earnest citizens,
and it needs that they shall be good,
and honest, and earnest every day.
Did you eyer forget your own bust
ness long enough to think what a
wonderful town four thousand citi-
'zens (meaning citizens in the broad
er sense, which includes the whole
population), could build up if every
last one of them would take a VOW
never to knock his competitor or
his town? Did you ever stop to think
what would happen to your town if
every one of those four thousand cit
liens did nothing but knock" if
there wasn't a single One in it who
has visual organs strong enough to
see outside of his own place of bust
ness, beyond the confines of his own
yard? Here is the contrast. 1t is eX-
IRENE, but it some times takes ex-
IRENE examples to illustrate the point.
The answer to each question is plain,
neither is palmer than the other, for
just as surely as a town of knockers
viii end in self destruction, just so
surely will a town of good, honest,
earnest" boosters, give it a place
among it's neightors of which every
citizen in it may be justly proud.
Hundreds OF good things might be
said along this line, columns have
been written, but after all it is illus
|tration that has the most lasting eff
feet, and a comparison of the growth
of various towns in South Dakota
within the last five years, is all that
is necessary to show in which ones
the real booster spirit has been most
manifest. Every town has it's faults
and drawbacks and would profit by
comparing notes with the others, for
practically the same problems con
front each, and the extent to which
these problems have been solved de-
ponds not half so much on the nature
of the problems themselves as upon
the method Of attack. These are good
things to think about right now while
the farmers are harvesting a big crop
and casting around for the best place
in which to spend their money

spending several years Of time. a
great deal of money and the best part
of his life fitting himself to be useful
10 himself and his fellowmen, gem
orally sinks into oblivion just after
he has prepared himself for the real
battle of life. One of the reasons for
this existing condition is that cen
turtles ago one of the professions saw
the necessity of having rules and reg
lations to guide them in the future
which they called the code of ethics
The same ethical code has been
copied by the younger professions and
1t forbids any form of publicity. The
code of ethics that governs one pro
fession is not necessarily adapted to
another unless you would choose my
definition of ethical conduct. Ethics
is the science of right living or the
doctrine of mans duty to himself and
others. The professions are still
struggling under the yoke that our
f%orefathers placed upon us years ago,
while science and methods of doing
business have been increasing at such
a rapid pace that we are far behind in
modern and more intelligent ways of
conducting our professional business.
Habit fingers long after the reason
for it's existence has disappeared, con
sequently the professions are striving
to make the sixteenth century decis-
ions fit modern needs. 1t is common
saying that the professions are filled
to overlooking. This is not only he
lieved by the laity, but by the profess
sional man himself, but if one will
take the time to examine and find the
actual facts they will find that there
is more work to be done by the pro

ness mar deems as one of the most

advertising is to make known our

word of mouth. This can be done

PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-The

nineteen barns in the city by the men
to decide what to do.

TRAIN BANDITS
HUNTED IN AUTOS
AND LAUNCHEcs
Land and Sea Secured in Search
for Robbers Who Made
Big Mail Haul.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1~S.-Sheriffs
posses of two counties and a small
army of volunteers on horses. in auto
mobiles and in steam launches are
hunting over roads, hills and bayous
for the masked bandits who yesterday
held up the China-Japan mail train on
the Southern Pacific near Benicia and
robbed it of nine sacks OF registered
mail. The pursuit is warm, and d
battle with the train robbers is hourly
anticipated, either in the hills or
canyons between Martinez and Oakland
or at some point on the Sacramento
river.
Whether the men escaped with their
plumber to the southwark toward Oak-
land or in an easterly direction toward
Sacramento is not definitely known, but
the laws dragnet has been spread in
all directions, and the arrest of the
fugitives is believed to be a matter of
a short time.
Two suspects have been arrested by
the city marshal at Benieia. They are
Fred Schole and James Scott. When
overtaken by the officers they were
walking along the marsh near the
scene of the hold-up. Both men a
they had been railroad men.
An interesting feature of the robbery
is included in the account given by
George Marsh, engineer of the train.
After the two bandits who climbed
into the cab had escorted him and the
fireman back to the mail car, members
of the train crew and several passen-
gers approached and opened fire on
the robbers. The bandits seized Marsh
and the fireman. and using them as
shields, returned the fire. shooting over
their shoulders. Marsh shouted to the
crew TO put mp their revolvers. which
was done, and the attacking party re-
treated. There is. little doubt that

ROEBLING WIRE MILLS
AT TRENTON OPEN AGAIN.
[specIal 10 the Newark STAR

TRENTON, April 1S.-After being
closed for ten days, John A. Roebling's
wire mills of this city resumed work in
all of it's departments except one OF
the wire mills. The latter. it is ex-
pected, will be operated on Wednesday.
The opening of the mills will give
about five thousand people employment
who have been locked out on account
of the laborers striking. Nine hundred
of the Hungarians and Slavs returned
to work this morning pending an agree
ment OF new schedules by which they
are to do piece work, which the COM
pany claims will allow the men to make
at least $3.50 per day, that being the
pay for which they went out on a
strike.
While no disorder tool place so far,
it is feared when the Italian strikers,
who are still holding out, learn that
the Hungarian and Slavs have returned
to work there will be considerable
trouble, because it is understood that
the Roebling people blame the italians
for the present strike. and it is their
intention hereafter not to employ any
Italians in their plants.
