Train the Citizens.

The government must be equipped by the
people with power to compel able-bodied citizens
not only to serve when needed for defense but
to be prepared to give efficient service In order
that the burden may be laid equally upon all
able-boded citizens, the training must be univer-
sal The liability to service must be universal.
The burdens of government in military defense
as in taxation for maintenance and defense
should be equitably distributed among all citi-
zens able to bear the burden
Congress will not reach a solution of the
problem of national defense until it enacts legis-
lation providing for universal military training
and service. The country's defense will then
rest on the solid ground of efficiency economy
and democracy. Every citizen able to bear arms
will be trained equipped soldier ready to do his
duty faithfully and efficiently when called to de-
fend the fag.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch-

Early in September, 1878, the financial
break began to come. One by one bank
ing and brokerage firms In New YORK
which had advanced money to western
and Canadian railways began TO an
nounce their inability to meet their OBJ
legations.
On the morning Of the 18TH Mr.. jay
Cooke, the agent Of the federal gov
eminent, with S4,Oo0,00O of deposits from
all parts of the country and sl5.ooo. 900
of the paper of the Northern Pacific
company, declared himself unable to
meet his debts, and the Street knew
that the end had come. Firm atter
firm, company after company, went to
the wall. some of them reputed the
strongest in the country, and Ions
slow winter of panic ensued whose ef-
fects the business of the country was
to feel for years to come.
Men who did not know how to reason
upon such matters or how to distinguish
the real forces that governed the credit
of the country were inclined TO attribute
this sudden sweep Of calamity across a
money market apparently prosperous
and at peace to the financial legislation
OF Congress.
On the 18th of February. 1873, an Act
had become law which, 1t was said, had
''demonetized" silver and upset values.
The Act had dropped from the list Of
authorized coins the silver dollar Of A2lz
grains, which had hitherto been the
standard silver dollar OF the coinage,
and had authorized, in partial substitu-
ton, a trade dollar" of 40 grains.
No silver dollars Of 42k grains had
been coined since 1903: since 1853 there
had been no silver dollars in circulation;
the Act simply made what was fact also
law, and had passed without objection.
But when the financial crisis of the au-
tumn of 1873 came many persons recalled
the Decentralization of silver effected
at the opening Of the year, and made
shrewd theories about the causes Of a
panic whose explanation was obvious
and upon its face.
The Republicans in Congress had had
the ill fortune to alter the law Of the
currency upon the very eve Of a hnan-
cial disturbance. and those who did not
like their conduct of the government
and suspected them of more corruption
than had been proved were at liberty &c

The English Point Of View.
By John d. NANNY.

Professor Gilbert Murray has been staying
in Stockholm of late or perhaps | should say
Sir Gilbert Murray, to call him by the name
he now bears in witness to the appreciation OF
Great Britain for his public service and his con-
trbuton to literature through his TRANSACTIONS
from the Greek drama and his critical studies,
He is modest gentleman OF about so, with
the quiet bearing and the simple, clear speech
of the highly cultivated Englishman. an ideal
example of the Oxford scholar who is also a
man of the political world, a.type that in mod
est distinction. one finds much oftener among
the English than among us.
In long talk that l had with Murray
felt as if Iswere getting the point Of view on
the war Of the best English opinion. or what,
at any rate, would be regarded such. 1t
was expressed with dispassionate earnestness,
none the less impressive for being so detached,
and Unconditional 1t began with the expression
Of the conviction that war was wrong. Differ
ences between nations must be settled by other
means Competition among nations must be
free. No nation had a right to restrict another

probably outstrip all OF 'us. We may like it or
not; but have no reason to complain. What

to strike down the weaker, that is the theory
we protest against.

We probably all agree, in the opinion of
Murray except for slight variation, with the
proposal associated with the of Taft, that
there shall be league of nations to prevent
any one nation from going to to settle a
question. IT one nation refuses there shall be
league of nations to control it, making war
against In this war it seems to US that
all the nations were willing to settle their diff
ferences by peaceful means except one. Through
Sir Edward Gray proposed every measure
we could think of.
81 think" said Murray, that the Germans
have a profound belief in the superiority of
their kultur. And I'm not sure they're not
right. l admire the German kultur immen sey
The error of the Germans lies in their thinking
it is right to extend that kultur by the sword. "
If the world had possessed league of nations
before the war, according to Murray's view, it
would have said: 1--WE are neither on one side
or the other. But we will not allow war. II
you make we will use force to keep you
quiet" Now all We do is to fight her on
equal terms. We're plunged into a war which
is worse than any that has been. We
must see that nations shall not assert their
rights by numbering one another. And it must
be established that the human race will no
longer tolerate a war of ambition. We in Eng
land entered this war with clean hands. We
are a trading nation and our commerce lives
by peace. We are the only country that has
fairly clean record in the matter of free trade

Can human life have any great advantage
that came up in the talk of Murray. He be
lieved that there was plenty of reasonable and
healthy adventure to be had, for example, in
America and the British colonies In some
countries great social changes are necessary.
Many people believe they can't take place with
out revolution; but as soon as you began to fight,
as soon as you dropped reason, your cause falls
back.
The Washington herald., 1916-04-29

1t was not till near the close of the talk
that Murray expressed himself the question
whether England would settle the war terms:
81 can't exactly say You see, we are bound
to do, to see that justice is done to Belgium
and Serbia. l can't say that one nation more
than the other is hindrance to peace. l don't
think the warning nations yet within sight
of one another. l don't think we shall be con-
tent to go back to the situation it was be-
fore the war, to what is often referred to as
the status quo ante bellum. So far as Great
Britain is concerned we certainly want nothing
more. She is prepared, in my opinion, to settle
with redress for Belgium and Serbia. But there
is difficulty in South Africa. Gen. Botha says
the South African Union was plotted against
They shed their blood for it, they conquered
and they cannot give up German South Africa.
We can't have another Boer war over this ques-
ton However, Gen. Botha or the South African
Union might accept an indemnity Ny own
policy would be to be as conciliatory and as
generous as possible"

nations. a question bound to play great part

in the world certain differences of race. There

govern themselves, among them Egypt and In
