leprecatc the suggestion OF military
conscrlptlon as alien to the spirit
Of American Institutions. COnscrlption

sidered undemocratic in SOM" Of the

tralla. and II was not held to he alien
to the American spirit either by the Com

strange prejudice Is operating TO the
grave detriment OF British interests in
the second year OF the war.
Universal service Is not proposed as
a means of forcing the Indifferent or
cowardly To fight. but only as an ex.
pedient to train all able bodied citizens
To be ready to perform their duty on
the outbreak Of war rather than TO
defer training until 1t is too late.
In theory at least every competent
citizen Is liable TO impressmcnt for jury

such obligation TO include military ser
