mobilization. for all its shortcomings
"a considerable portion of which are
attributable to the army-was a thou
sand per cent better than that of 1893
F. Seventh. there should be careful
study of the arguments against COM
pulsion; if we b1undered in the hasty
preparedness legislation of last winter
we should take several years at least
to thresh out the issue of universal
service. If it took US twenty-five years
to reform our banking and currency
laws, it should not be unwise to de-
vote good deal of thought to this
hasty panacea-all the more so as nc
one to our knowledge has as yet work
ed out any detailed plan which In
remotest degree counts the cost or
shows how universal service could be
administered-espe in the matter
of the colored men of the south.
We are firmly of the belief that any
such detailed study of the universal
service proposal will show % that il
is utterly un-American in it's every
tendency; CD that it would be a men
ace to our democratic institutions; (3)
that it is practically unworkable; (4)
that it is totally unnecessary.

LOOK BEFORE THE LEAP.

1t seems obvious that before the
United States makes a plunge into mil
itarism by adding universal service to
a great regular army and to the Sec
ond largest navy in the world, says
the New York Post, the following
steps should be taken as rea-
sonable and business-like: First,
there should be no action until the
outcome of the war is settled, for there
are already plain indications that
some of the nations engaged will be
the abandonment of universal service
Second, it should be clearly known
what we are to arm for; that is
whether we are to rely upon the Sec
ond largest fleet and the costliest
coast defences in the world for safety,
with a reasonable army, or whether
we are to count our vast fleet as in
defences as so much money thrown
away.
Third, we should have a settled for
eign policy intb which, if disarma-
ment fails and the American people
wish to have a large army and navy,
a reasoned scheme of national defence
shall fit.
Fourth, we should not discard the
regular-army plan voted last summer
until it has been definitely ascertained
that it cannot be carried out. There
has not been time to test the provi-
sions for vocational training in the de-
fence law, or even to put them into
effect; so able student of affairs as
ex-Secretary Fisher believes that the
army can be recruited if higher wages
are paid, and the adjutant general re-
ports for November a marked in
crease in recruiting which leads him to
believe that the army will be up to
the required strength by June next.
when the next increase in strength is
due.
Fifth, taking note of the many de-
fects and inefficiencies of the army.
congress should build no new and vast
militaristic structure until the exist
ing methods are subject to rigid scru-
tiny and reform and the existing per-
sonnel is held to the same standards
of personal efficiency that obtain in
any large industrial corporation. No
universal army differed and managed
as is the present regular army will
yield any sound reason for the belief
that 1t will correspond to the efficiency
of Germany or that of France save in
mere numbers.
Sixth, the National Guard should
not be simply scrapped. The several
states are entitled to their troops as
state forces. and their former status
as state troops, and not as federal mil
itia, should be restored. Under the
DICK law these organizations were
steadily advancing in efficiency: the

the New York Mail. have the right to
know whether the skill or the peril in

raised still further above that of
other workmen in other trades and
in the railroad service itself. This
sort of secret deal between the roads
and certain powerful employees is no
more endurable than a similar deal
between the railroads and certain
powerful shippers from securing
favoritism in rates at the expense of
the rest of the shipping world. Rates

I was reminded of that little pass
age by my small nephew. He spent
the last part of his summer vacation,
when time began to hang on his
hands, looking forward to the first
day of school. When I saw him the

school he said, enthusiastically, "All
right" and then he added with new
life in his tone, "Say, do you know IT'S

One day last year I happened to be
