MRS. BLATCH FOR
AN ARMED U. S.
Glimpse of War COnvinceS Her
Compulsory Military Ser
vice Is a Necessity.

Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, presi-
dent of the Women's Political Union
and formerly an advocate Of the oeliei
that women did not raise their boys TO
be soldiers. came back from the seat
Of war yesterday on the American liner
Philadelphia convinced that compulsory
military service is a necessity.
Mrs. Blatch studied war conditions
in France and in England, and mel
dentally observed, she said, that Miss
Jane Adams had made mistake when
she asserted recently that soldiers were
made drunk before going into battle.
81 have been away about two
months" said Mrs Blatch, land | have
come back convinced of the necessity
for universal compulsory military ser
vice. am also in favor Of a systematic
training of the women to take :h'
places Of the men in industrial pun
suits in time of war. Were such sys'
tenn in effect now in France and Eng
land both countries could Immediately
pu- an additional army corps into AZ
tive service.
when this war comes to an end /
expect 10 see suffrage for women in
France and England. The men of bo,h
nations, big and little, have seen that
women are a necessity in the affairs Of
the nation in peace as well as IN war
The trade unions alone now are the
only obstacles 10 woman suffrage. This
is especially true of the mach!nista,
who resent having women working D.
side them in the munition factories
Mrs. Blatch said she looked into tho
drink question in the army j. England
and in France, and found that men lli
get allowances of whiskey and other
alcoholic stimulants while fighting.
Jane Adams has said that the men
were made drunk before going into
battle" said Mrs Batch. That, Of
course. is not true. It is true, how
ever, that soldiers drink whiskey and
other liquors before going into battle.
The reason for this is simple. No
sane man wants 10 be killed. He
does not even want 10 fight. so he gets
whiskey TO spur him on
II have come to the conclusion that
the United States needs a great army
and navy to protect it against foreigl
militarism. and | am thoroughly in ac-
cord with the policy of charging the
military efficiency Of this country"
Also on the Philadelphia came Miss
Maggie Teyte. the English soprano. who

100000 MORE MEN
NEEDED BY BRITAIN

london, Oct. 17.-"Great Britain
needs 100000 more men by spring,
was the declaration made to-day In
n speech at Hull by Brigadier Cen
eral Sir Eric Swayne, director OF
recruiting in the northern command.
General Swayne estimated that
Germany still had between 100000
and 100000 men OF the ages
eighteen TO forty-fve, and that IT
was useless to talk about wearing
Germany out.
In the spring. said the general,
Germany would lose more men than
the Allies, and this dispropOrtion
would balance the numbers Of the
Allies and the Central Powers, but
if Great Britain should raise 3.0OO,-
600 additional troops, Germany
probably would recognize that it
would be fruitless to continue.
Great Britain. Sir Eric added, did
not want cOmpuIsion, but unless
S,OOO. 600 more men were recruited
by spring the military authorities
could not be responsible for the war.
