TRAIN ALL YOUNG MEN,
COL. ROOSEvE[T'SP PLEA
Former President Makes Argument
for National Preparedness
for Defense.

NEW YORK, October 23-Theodore
Roosevelt, in a copyrighted article in
the Metropolitan Magazine for Novem-
Der, makes a strong plea for military
preparedness in the United States. He
argues for adoption of the Swiss sys-
tenn of military service. with strong
and efficient standing army as a nucleus.
I'm a democracy" he says. service
should be required of every man, in
peace and in war; we should guarantee
to every man his rights. and require
from each man the full performance
of his duties. It may well be that in
the end we shall find it worth while to
insist that all our young men, at their
entrance to manhood, perform a years
Industrial service-in the harvest fields,
in city sanitation, on the roads. any
where. Such service would be equally
beneficial to the son of the millionaire
and to the boy who grows up in the
or out on lonely farms in the back
country. This is for the future.
Boon to Young Men.
"As for the present. it is certain that
half years military service would
be a priceless boon to these young men
themselves. as well as to the nation.
1t would tend to social cohesion. We
would gain a genuine citizens army.
and we would gain a far higher type of
citizenship. Our young men, at the out
set of their lives, would be trained
not merely to shoot and to drill, which
are only small parts of military train
ing-but to habits of bodily endurance
and moral self-mastery. to command
and to obey, to act on their own
initiative and to understand and
promptly execute orders. to respect
themselves and to respect others, and
to understand that they are to serve
their country with deeds and not words
only. Under such conditions the young
American would enter manhood accus-
timed to take pride in that disciplined
spirit of orderly self-reliance combined
with ability to work with others,
which is the most essential element in
the success of great, free, modern
democracy.
I'VE should make our military pre-
paredness as complete as the Swiss have
made the military preparedness of
Switzerland.

Had Extensive Organization.

AMSTERDAM, via London. October
23-The Vossische Zeitungs Brussels
correspondent, describing the trial of
Miss Edith Cavell and the other per-
sons accused with her. says:
THE evidence showed the existence
of a regular organization to bring Of
f1cers and men of the allied armies,
who had been left behind in Belgium,
over the Dutch frontier. Most of the
thirty-fve of the accused did not deny
the accusation. On the contrary, they
declared they considered it their duty
to help their country.
'"The leader of the organization was
Prince Reginald de Croy. who could
not be arrested, but whose wife, Prin-
cess Marie De Croy, was among the ac-
cused. The chief accomplice of the
princess was Miss Cavell.
British and French soldiers were
smuggled over the Dutch frontier with
the help of the Countess de Belleville.
Regular stages were established and
the officers and soldiers were escorted
from stage to stage by trustworthy
persons to a central point In Brussels.
which was the British hospital.
Here they remained until they could
safely be taken to Holland. which was
done at the dead of night over the
suburban tramway line to the frontier.
Miss Cavell denied having compelled
other persons to lodge fugitives when
her own house was full"
