"Jingo," a fifteen-foot model of
dinosaur, mounted on truck, was ex-
hibited along Woodward avenue in De-
troit. one day last week, by representa-
tives of the anti-preparedness commit
tee as an example of the result of "too
much armour" Speakers accompany
ing "Jingo" said that the living land
reptile weighed 10 tons and carried
such a weight of armour-like skin that
it became extinct. On the model a
placard read: "This is lingo, the ar
incurred dinosaur. All armour plate
and no brains He believed in huge
armament. He is extinct. There was
not little of truth made evident in
this exhibit and it has led us to the fol-
lowing deductions: Extensive military
systems inevitably beget militarists,
militarsts beget war, war begets waste,
brutality, unbridled lust, mourning and
desolation indescribable-it is hell. Per-
haps the condition of the outside world
may force US to some more extensive
system OF military preparedness than
has been necessary hitherto, but if so
along with it should go countrywide in
culcation of the blessings of peace and
the absolute unworthiness of war. If,
of necessity, we must enter upon ex-
tensive military preparations, then let
US adopt Congressman Kelley's sugges-
ton for big navy, keep any for
eign invader from setting foot upon
our shores and thus fight our battles
with minimum of money and a mini
mum of men. A general training of
all citizens of suitable age, for short
period each year, in the rudiments of
military service would be very much
preferable to large standing army
and very much superior. 1t would be
fer more economical and more efficient,
as the worlds great battles, and God
forbid their like shall ever again occur
in this beautiful and fruitful land of
ours, have always been fought and won
by citizen soldiers. Furthermore, if
we must do these things, let every bat
tleship, every weapon and all ammuni-
ton be made by the government itself
so that private concerns may have no
incentive to promote or thrive upon the
national distress which war invariably
entails.
