Compulsory Military Service.

From Leslie's
Before the war is over England will
undoubtedly have to face conscription
Nor will this be any disgrace to her or
any reflection upon the patriotism Of her
people. Volunteering to go to the front
in this deadliest of wars is a question
that Is settled quite as much by ones
family as by the volunteer himself In
prolonged war with other nations, all
of which have compulsory military serv-
Ice, it would he a good deal to expect
England to match these great armies
with volunteers. The suggestion has
been made that for our protection the
burden of compulsory military service
may have to be laid upon the United
States. But SO opposed are the tradi-
tons of this country to such step that
it would be practically impossible to
bring 1t about. In our relations with
the great Dominion to the north of us.
and with all the republics to the south,
we have demonstrated that a large
standing army is not necessary.
The hope of all lovers of civilization
is that this war will result in the elm
ination of compulsory military service.
The elimination of vast standing armies
will remove one of the biggest factors
in starting hostilities-the readiness to
strike. Germany, with her ever-ready
army, struck at once when she became
persuaded that Russia had commenced
to mobilize her vast, scattered army.
AS few days sufficient for the
cooling off of personal passion. so the
few months which would be necessary
to raise army of volunteers would
give any nation time for the sober
second thought that would insure
peace If the continental countries had
possessed armies no larger than that
of England. war would not now be
waging in Europe. The necessary delay
in beginning hostilities would have
given time for peaceful adjustment.

In Three Parts-Part III.
We left the little Marie, entered our
machines and slid out swiftly for the
last miles. climbed and curved over the
final hill and suddenly looked down on
a deep trenchlike valley marching from
east to west and carrying the Paris
Ferdun-Metz railroad, no longer avail
able for traffic. And as we coasted
down the hill we heard the guns at
last. not steadily, but only from time
to time, a distant boom. faint billow-
ing up of musketry fire. Some three
or four miles straight ahead there were
the lines of fire, beyond the brown hills
that fianked the valley.
At the bottom of the valley we turned
east, moved on for mile and stopped
abruptly. The guns were sounding
more clearly, and suddenly there was
a sense, not of soldiers. but OF an
army. On one side of the road a COL
umn was coming toward US, column
of men who were leaving the trenches
for rest, the men who for the recent
days had held the first line. YEARLY
but steadily they streamed by: the mud
of the trenches covered their TUNES;
here and there man had lost his steel
helmet and wore a handkerchief about
his head. probably to conceal slight
wound that but for the helmet had
killed him.
