What Wars Have Proved.
Now. all recent wars have demon
strated the futility of the volunteer
service. and certainly the methods. of
modern warfare have proved its abso-
lutte inadequacy. While any thought of
compulsory military service is, as vet
and for many years to come, out of all
question Is appealing to the democratic
American mind. one thing is. certain: In
case of war our young men would be
drafted for military service. That much
at least is positive and cannot be es-
capped. The question, therefore, for par
ents of boys is not: DO we believe in
war" or Do we believe in prepared
ness. but Are we willing that our
boys shall be drafted for service, in
case of war. absolutely untitled and UNI
trained?' That is the question that
stares you and me, as the fathers of
boys, in the face. l am not advocating
the military training of our boys; l am
not favoring or oposing preparedness
here. But l am a father of two boys,
and l am asking myself the same ques-
ton l am asking you. Whatever may
be my personal view Of war. am will

into war unframed. inefficient, for a
foreign soldier, trained and efficient, to
shoot at, and my boys unable to take

drafted. Military experts claim that a

we invite war by having our young

not invite punctures by having extra

"Our Splendid Isolation No More"
He Asserts-Possessions May
Lead to Trouble.

A woman abhors war even more
strongly than does man, according to
Edward Box, editor of the Ladies'
Home Journal. This is not altogether
the result of sex, but it is the woman
who, in the end. pays the highest price
for war. With her husband killed or
manned for life. the burden falls on
her. Hers is the lonely vigil or the
frightful battle afterward. 1t is al
ways an act of heroism when a mother
lets her boy go to war. 1t logically fol-
lows. therefore, that women are fore
most in all peace movements. A wom
ans natural instinct is to give life and
preserve it and defend it. not to de-
stroy it.

TRIpLETs IN A RICHMOND HOME

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Haffley were
the proud parents of triplets born to
them last week, Thursday, at about
10 a. m. Their joy was of short dura-
ton, however, over the occurance, as
one of the little arrivals succumbed
at about 10 o'clock in the evening of
the same day, says the Richmond
Standard.
All three of the newcomers were
boys. The other two living are a
healthy pair and getting along nicely.
Mrs. Haffley is also doing well.
The arrival of triplets in the Half
fley home is the second time that the
family was blessed with profusion.
Five years ago just day pevious to
the late occurrence twins were born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Haffley and both of
them are alive and well. They now
have five children, two being dead.
