The putting of horde of untraineo men into the field In time of war IS denounced as inhuman and criminal. The best way to prevent such pos sibilty, it is declared is to train the young men of tAe< country in the game. of war SO that if they must be called into active service they will know how to protect themselves and prevent use less slaughter and disaster.
 The National Guard offers the only means of training the young men of the country in this way and parents are urged not to discourage their sons from entering the service of the guard on the ground that they might be call ed to serve their country and might be killed. It is for this very reason, 1t is pointed out, that the young men should be encouraged to join the Na' tional Guard. In time of trouble the young men will respond to their coun- try's call and it is pointed out that II is best for them that they should De prepared for such an emergency II II should come. To keep the young men ignorant and untrained will not pre- vent war. 1t is declared, but will make 1t necessary if war should come, 10 send them into battle without the training that will make it possible for them to protect themselves from need less danger.

 with exceeding caution. This can only be impressed upon the men by actual
 sham battles and field maneuvers, where it is easily demonstrated that one company of trained men can an nihilate a regiment of untrained troops, with very little danger to the members of the trained company. These lessons are taught at the sum mer maneuver camps.
 When the young man is needed to fight for his country he will go and 1t would be criminal, it is declared, to deny him the schooling which would prevent his useless sacrifice in case of war. He is offered this schooling and also a vacation each year at the gov ernment's expense. He is taught how to care for his health, his food. teeth. feet, stomach and also how to act ef- fectively on the offensive and defen- sive with minimum of danger to him. self if he is ever called upon to fol low the flag in battle.
