SHOULD STRENGTHEN NATION
Al GUARD


Heads of the Colorado National
Guard declare that the plan of Presi-
dent Wilson and the Secretary of
War for a Continental Army of AGO.
600 citizens to be enlisted during the
next three years and trained for ma
tioual defense in case of emergency
is doomed to failure.
Like the National Guard officers Of
40 other states and territories who
heard the first official details Of the
administration Continental Army
plan at the recent San Francisco con-
vention, the Colorado militia heads
say the plan is impractical.
Their opinion is not based on any
desire to hamper the national adj
miuistration, and they would endorse
amy other practical plan submitted,
but all are skeptical about the Con-
tinental Army.
These officers believe that the Con-
tinental Army would be an unwieldy
mass of recruits, which could not be
assembled at the rate of $4,000 a
year nor kept in training for two
months each year for period of three
years. And where, they ask, will the
government provide the necessary
stats Of officers to handle the train
ing of such mass of men, provided
the recruits could be kept together
for that long?
It is pointed out that the war de-
partment is now using 5000 officers
and spending S3,OOO,OOO TO keep up
our present comparatively small
standing army and securing new re-
cruits.
As far as recruiting the Continental
Army is concerned, Colorado militia
officers point TO the popular indiffer-
ence toward recruiting even in the
National Guard of this state and al
most every other state. This pres
ent apathy on the part Of the public
to their duties to their country and
state is deplorable, but it exists new
erthelcss," says one prominent Of
fccr Of the Colorado National guard.
Every young man in Colorado
should have the training which the
Guard offers-the training which
would enable him to answer his coun-
try's call in case Of attack by a for
cign nation. It is a duty not only Of
patriotism and state pride, but one
fundamentally of self-interest.

expended their own time and energy
in securing settlers for the lands along

state, a certain class of men have
entered the real estate business who
are not at all interested in securing

charge between what the actual owner
of the land receives and what the poor
sucker promises to pay. This class or
men have done more to retard the
actual growth of population than any

short time options on lands, brought
farmers from older states here and
disposed of the land to them at a
large increase, being satisfied with a

there is no reason why it should not
bring from 500 to 1000 families per
