Another point. Is it fair or sensible
to leave the defense of the country to
volunteers? Can they be depended
on and will not the indiscriminate en-
listment Of men Of all ages and from
all kinds Of positions of bility
completely upset the current of our
national life?
Such men as went to P%lattsburg al
ways have been and always will be
the first to volunteer. They are the
men who realize their responsibility
the most keenly, but there is only a
limited number Of them and they are
usually men who have great respon-
sibilities in civil life. Generally they
are men past the age of greatest
military efficiency.
It would seem that some such sys-
tenn as the Australian system is the
one to adopt. Here every boy, say
at the age of II, must each year de-
vote a certain amount of time to
military training until he is %. This

COLDS SIREN LURE FOR MEN
Hardship and Death Dared by Thou
sands That They May Gain
Riches Quickly.

1t was in 1898 that the rush Of gold
seekers to the Klondike reached its
flood. The ninety-eighters probably
never will know the fame of the forty
miners, but they have place in the
long history of the gold hunters, the
men of all nations. ancient, medieval
and modern. The book has hundred
chapters telling of failure and of death
to every one lightened with the story
Of success.
H. M. Cadell recently visited the
Klondike, and there made study of
present conditions. He describes them
and adds an interesting account of the
early day rush to the Northwest terri.
tory. The Smithsonian institution has
put Mr.. Cadell's report into print. 1t
is an interesting document. Some of
the happenings in the Klondike were
duplicates of like happenings in Cali
fornia and Australia during the first
years of the surface washing in those
fields. These Implications show that
human nature is unchanging.
Men went to the Klondike daring
hardship and death that they might
get rich quick. Some of the gold
seekers were quickly successful. A
large percentage of the successful
ones almost literally threw their mon
ey away. Easy come. easy go. This
sort of thing has marked gold min
ing in all ages. The Klondike is not
what 1t was, but human nature stays
the same. The discovery Of gold at
the North pole would start a north

WILL AERoPLANEs STOP WAR
orrviIIe Wright Is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think So,
Anyhow.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is very definite reason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other? The reason, as figure 1t out,
is aeroplanes, Orville Wright writes
in Golfers. In consequence Of the
scouting work done by the flying ma
chimes, each side knows exactly what
the opposition forces are doing.
There is little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at un-
expected places. The aeroplane has
made that impossible. 1t has equal
ized information. Each side has such
complete knowledge of the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick. spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
present war started the army experts
expected 1t to be matter of few
weeks or, at most, few months. Today
1t looks as IL it might run into years
before one side can dictate terms.
Now, a nation that may be willing to
undertake war lasting few months
may well hesitate after engaging in
one that will occupy years.
The daily cost Of great war is Of
course stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the total is likely to
be SO great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work in flying machines will
be the predominating factor, as 1t
seems to me. in bringing this about.
I like to think SO, anyhow.
