country. They would be going
about their jobs as usual. They
would not be any more of a stand
ing army than they are now.
Argentina has citizen soidiery,
like Switzerland and Australia.
Like Switzerland and Australia, it
is democracy. 1t recognizes the
fact that in the world as 1t really
is. NO DEMOCRACY is SAFE
FROM ATTACK.
The only choice 1t has is
whether 1t will get in time
weapon big and efficient enough
to do the business, or wait until
II gets caught off its guard and
then be rolled up while 1t tries to
defend itself with a weapon that
will not work and is as undomo-
cratic as 1t is foolish.
Argentina chose the DEM
ocratic method. Every man
in Argentina must be ready
to defend the republic.
When young man be-
comes 20 years old, he is en-
listed automatically i'm the
first line of the army.
He goes into camp and is
trained continuously for different
periods, according to the arm of
the service he enters. For the
great majority 1t is three months;
lit is no more than a year in any
branch.
For the next ten years he is
member of what is called the
"active" army. He pursues his
usual vocation, whatever that may
be, but in each of these ten years
he is called upon for very short
period of additional training.
Should war occur he will be in
the first divisions to be modified.
After ten years he passes into
the second line, called the ma
tional guard. In this he may be
called upon for a few days of
training and in case of war would
be modified after the active
forces. Ten years later he passes
into the third line, or territorial
guards.
At As he is legally beyond the
obligation to military service,
though, as in Switzerland, he will
usually regard himself as a volun-
lteer.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
has bill in the senate to intro
duce in the United States the sys-
tenn that has proved 80 beneficial
in Switzerland, Australia and Ar
lgentina.
When he introduced 1t year
lago 1t was howled at from many
sides and hung up in committee
room as a thing impossible.
Since then there has been ire
mendous change in public opin-
ion.
Steadily people are coming to
see that citizen soldiery is not
"militarism," as the cranks love
to call It, but the only safe and
just way by which a republic can
lpreserve its life.
Encouraged by this change, Sen
!ator Chamberlain is going to
force his bill out of committee
and put it on passage in the sem
ate.
1t will then be up to you to de-
eide its fate.

sociation, Of which The Times is a
member, first proposed such al
measure In this country, has al

opinion.
1t hopes to see some such meas
ure adopted by the present con-
gress.
This country cannot any longer
put off the duty of defense.
If 1t does, 1t may find the idea
of getting South America to pro-
tect us no joke.

Gained by Leadership.
"The German victory was gained by
able leadership and by the effect of our
artillery and torpedo weapons.
Until now we have RETAINED from
contradicting many of the alleged OF
fetal English assertions regarding the
German losses. The latest assertion,
again and again repeated. is that the
German fleet lost not less than two

fallen, two battle-cruisers, four small!
cruisers and a great number or tor
pedo boat destroyers.
Moreover, the British indicate that
the Pommern, which we reported lost,
is not the ship of the line Of $4,000
tons from the year 1905, but modern
dreadnought of the same name. We
state that the total loss Of the German
high sea forces during the battle of
May 31-June /. and the following time
is: One battle-cruiser, one ship OF
the line of older construction, four
small cruisers and FIVE torpedo boats.
OF these losses, the Pommern, launch

statements. For military reasons we
