UNIVERSAL MILITARY SER
VICE AN ISSUE IHAI IAN-
MOI BE hEi,r DOWN

There can be little doubt but that
the question of ito be or not to be
as applied to universal mintary ser
vice III THIS country Wlii be para
mount ISSUE IN the near future.
Already many arguments are be-
ing advanced tnat approach the sub
Ject from the STANDPOINT OF the COM
paratlve military value to a nation.
And IN somewhat lesser measure do
we hear oi the physical beneuts such
system is 10 the 0Indlvidual.
lhere Is another aspect Of uni
versal military training which is in
tefesting ana that 1t is democratic
value.
"A hired army is relic Of the per
iod oil Monarchcic aDsolution. Even
the volunteer system makes Tor aris-
tocracy.
Professor Munroe Smith, in an ar.
licie IN the official organ OF the Aca-
DENY oil Political Science, empha-
sizes that the idea and cites the "one
year volunteers" Of the German ar
my, VINO, because OF financial anu
education advantages, quickly be-
come ol1lcers IN the reserve, as ex.
ample.
lie also mentions the veterans of
our own wars, who not only receive
special honor and preference, but al
80 transmit credit and social distinc-
tlon TO their descendants thru mem
DefshIp In various socities.
There can be little doubt but that
one oil the greatest evils of the vol
unteer army is its social bias.
And IT Is equally true and equally
ianentable that the system Stays or
mains those who are most energetic
ana enterprising, those who have the
warmest devotion to their country,
and spares the inert, the timid and
the selfish.
Universal military service is es-
sentially a democratic system, for
democracy means equality of duties
as well as rights. And not only is
1t democratic system, but it tends
to create wider democracy and to
place greater political power in the
hands of the people.
Look to Europe. Has not the i'm
position Of the duty of military SER
vice upon every able-bodied' male
forced the monarchic and govern
mental elements to give to the people
bigger political rights?
They have had to admit the man
who donned the soldiers coat and
bore arms for his country must have
something to say about its govern
ment.
Under this aspect it seems con-
vlnclng that the defense of this coun-
try must be secured thru universal
military service.
And it follows that il we must
have universal military service en-
forced. we must have universal-that

mercy had fled the earth, and all the
ministers of restriction had been let
loose to devastate the earth, the air
and the deep sea and usher in a reign
of chaos.
And still last night was as serene
as was that night when over Bethle-
hem the star shone down and anth-
ems Of praise and good will to man
rang out upon the world and called
all the agents Of harmony to join in
the mighty praise and peace service,
1t is not impossible that after the
storm passes, it may be seen that
the so-called divine right Of kings
shall have passed away; that the old
rule that "men are nothing and man
everything" has been reversed, and
that never again can less than hum
dred men awaken a storm that can
cause some thousands of brave men
to die daily for weeks and months
and years without abatement.
But contemplating those horrors,
our countrvmen should, with humbled
and grateful hearts bent in gratitude
! today to sing their praise service and
peace service; to exault in the free
dom that is ours, that generous
| harvest has been given US; that no
premonitions Of sorrow shadow our
skies; that our nation is moving on
with growing majesty and power;
taking on new prestige every year
becoming more and more the worlds
concernment and hope.
Surely ours ought to be a CRATE

the earth.
To make these results materialize
men have been struggling for nine
teen hundred years.
The progress has been slow; so
slow that sometimes the struggle has
seemed hopeless, and advancement
can only be noted in the aggregate.
Often it has seemed as though the
world has been deserted and the plan
to save the races abandoned, until a
day came when it was made clear
that there was a design behind the
suffering intended for ultimate good.
Sometimes the farmer starts his
plough and turns over the surface Of
his clover field, for the time convert
ing what was winsome fruitful pas
ture into what seems to be desert.
To the ignorant and blinded it
might seem to be great misfortune
but it is made clear that the farmers
design is to bury the clover where
the nitrogen that has been gathered
by its roots from the sunbeams and
the air may be assimliated by the
soil and thus gather more strength to
bring forth another harvest; the wis
dom Of his work is made apparent.
The plowshare of an awful war has
been turning over the field Of Eu-
rope for two and half years and
converting them into deserts. Men
cannot comprehend any design in the
mighty mutilation, sorrowing mil
lions look on dazed; millions of wives
and mothers with hearts broken and
eyes wept dry have no longer the
strength to pray, so awful is their
sorrow.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The ad-

welcomed Representative Woods in

mitted they were concerned over the
apparent fact that the tip reached
Wall Street ahead of the publication,
Information regarding the Presi-
dents note to the belligerent nations
was confidentially given to neas-
papers Wednesday morning. Shortly
ifterfard the information reached
New York Because of this fact the
government is anxious to find out if
anyone is posing as a newspaper rep
representative, and prevent them
from getting further information,
who may be serving as a "tipster"
for the Wall Street concerns. Four
men who were not newspaper repre-
sentatlves were present when Secre-
tary Lansing gave out the informa-

CHRISTMAS

There are few days in the year
that are punctuation points to man

They too mark the signal stations
in human lives and in the lives Of ma
tions. The most significant of all
these is Christmas day.
To herald its first coming a new
star came in from the outer firma-

dance the lowly city and the sur
rounding gray hills, and following, II
close. songs of thanksgiving filled
earth and air, and far off planets
and suns their golden axles rolling
in attune, filled the universe with ee-
lestial music.
What had transpired meant a new
departure, about the face for the hui

among nations and men; the giving
up of what is brutal; the emancipa-

states may nave to enter what has
previously been regarded as an "en-
tangling alliance" Ii present negotia-
tons reach point of international
enforcement of peace guarantees, the
state department officially announc
ed.
Lansing held the discussion of such
problems as premature now, but in
dicated the government considered
the possible necessity of an alliance
TO make the peace agreement bind
ing.
In such event, it was held, the
United States would naturally link
with the pan-American nations and
Mt the same time would be joining
certain European nations in the
agreement.
