the esr) at the age of p the youths who had received
the required military discipline should be given ceTt

qualification for exercising any Of the rights of free

wrote that men lodging their share Of fundamental
military duty should be barred from all rights Of Amer

in advocating his compulsory training law, none
complain of Injustice being obliged TO perform his

good reason decline OF refuse to subject themselves to
the course of military education established by the laws
