We should do what Switzerland and | Argentina. for example. have already done. They now have universal mi l litary service in Argentina. The Ar genuine army is d great deal more fit to uphold the Monroe doctrine south of the Equator than our army. and in spite of it's high average of individual efficiency and because of
 it's lamentable smallness, is fit to uphold the Monroe doctrine north of
 the Equator.
 Drawing to the conclusion of his address. CN Roosevelt urged in creasingly high standards of eff ciency in the army and navy. The navy" he said, should never be used
 as it was so long used in Mexican
 waters. for police work of a kind
 that insures it's deterioration as
 fighting machine. It should be kept
 up to the highest pitch of fighting
 efficiency. It should be kept super
 for to any possible foe which might
 attack us within the limits above set forth"
 "Our regular army should be great ly increased in size and render much
 more efficiency by yearly manoeuver- ing in mass. as well as practice in other directions. Conditions in Mexi- co are such that unless the Mexicans themselves come to their senses and unless we are content to see for eign powers undertake the regulation of Mexico, we may ultimately have to intervene. Such intervention would
 represent not real war but a work of pacification and police. For such a work volunteer soldiers are not
 well fitted. It should be done ex- clusively by the regular army; and for this purpose there should be a mobile army of over a hundred and thirty thousand men. so that the whole regular army should be about two hundred thousand strong.
 Tn addition 1 firmly believe that there should be universal military service for our young men on the Swiss model. In Switzerland the boys are trained for their last few years in the public schools and after they graduate from the public schools they serve with the army for four or six months and then for eight of ten days every year for the next ten years. This training and service, so far from hampering the Swiss or Switzerland industrially. has added enormously to the industrial efficien- oy both of the individuals and of the nation, and to their social eff ciency also.
 Finally and most important let us remember that there can be no eff cient preparedness against war unless We prepare our own souls. If we become soft and flabby physically and morally. we shall fail. No ma tion ever amounted to anything if it's population was composed of paci- ficists and poltroons. if its sons did not have the fighting edge. if it's women did not feel as the mothers of Washington's centennial felt. as the mothers of the men who followed Grant and Lee felt men who are not, ready to fight for the right are not fit to live in a free democracy. The only women fit to be wives and mothers in a free Republic are those who feel that their sons are not sons of theirs unless when their country ,alls their souls are eager and their 'eet jubilant to answer the mighty note which announces that he hearts of men are being sifted put before the judgment seat"
