universal training and service IS not foreign
to our traditions or form Of government. Inc

Is not that universal service? Why wait
until the emergency confronts us before even
training the citizen for the service he may
have to render?
Universal training and service were recon-
mended bv various of our former Presidents,
among whom were Jefferson and Adams.
Washington denounced the voluntary system

and found it wanting, Mr.. Lincoln jeopardzed
his future politically, IL not his life, by re-

Confederacy itself in the first year OF the
war departed from the theory OF state rights
and state troops or militia and adopted con-
scription, placing the men absolutely under
the central control, while we dallied along
with the state system OF voluntary enlist

inadequate, and when we did change We still
retained to a great extent the defects OF

Great Britain and France our hearts are
with them, and our moral support, although
We arc bleeding them for munitions. would
do them world of good and make easier the
chances for an alliance after the war is
over.
A cold neutrality Is not desired by either
side; the Germans hate US for it, and the
Allies are not overindulgent with their love
The breaking off of diplomatic relations with
the Central Powers would be a step toward
an alliance and future prosperity with Great
Britain and France. There would be no pos
sbility OF its precipitating war with Ger
many, for the latter would simply be cutting
her own nose off to declare war with this
country ARTHUR s. WARD.

Why Gasoline Is Dear.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: For the information Of the public in
general and all owners of motor vehicles in
particular desire to say that the chief
cause for advancing the price Of gasolene by
the Standard Oil Company is the great and
ever increasing cost TO them of financing re
belion and anarchy in Mexico When the
English syndicate represented by the Pear
son Bros Lord Cowdray ct al.-under
concessions from Porfrio Diaz, located and
developed that most productive oil field about
TuXpam. they came into immediate contact
and competition with the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company, of Tampico (aliss s. o. c. Of
L. S.. and practically drove them out of
the Mexican field, of which up to that time
the Standard OIL Company had enjoyed a
monopoly.
Hence the Standard Oil Company declared
war and have hired, equipped and sustained
innumerable Villains % to accomplish their
purpose. They. the Standard Oil Company
have been doing their level best TO transfer
the whole load to Uncle Sans shoulders and
involve this government in their merciless
fight for monopoly. aud in the Tampico
and Vera Cruz incidents came mighty near
accomplishing their purpose.
Having failed. and being still under the
necessity of shoulderng the heavy financial
burden. the only feature of the case that ap-
peals to them, they are obliged TO lay an
additional tax upon the people. What hap
pens to the United States Of America is Of
small consequence compared to the interests
Of the Standard Oil Company Of America.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir: The following extract from Frederick
Scott divers Ordeal by Battle" a wOrl
which every patriotic American should reaC
because Of its statement OF conditions IL
England similar to ;hose now existing in thi:
country, and its teaching Of lesson which
we should take to heart without delay II
order TO prevent our learning it by actua
experience later, may well be printed a
length.
Referring TO our Civil War he says:
THE Southern States. which aimed al
breaking away from the Uniop, adopted
conscription within a year from the be
ginning. They were brave fighters, but
they were poor and they were IN a small
minority. Tho Northern States conf
dent in their numbers and wealth-re-
lied al first upon the voluntary system.
Il gave them great and gallant armies
but these were not enough; and as months
went BY President Lincoln realized thau
they we're not enough. Dlsregardlng ire
entreaties Of his friends TO beware Oh
asking Of the people what the people
would never stand disregardlng the
clamors Of his enemies about perso'al
freedom. he insisted upon conscrlptioh'
believing that by these means alone the
Union could be saved And what was the
result? A section OF the press foamed
with indignation. Mobs yelled, demon
strated. and IN their illogical fury lynched
negroes. seeing in these unfortunates tAe
cause Of all their troubles. But the
mohs were not the American people;
they we're only noisy and contemplate
minority of the American people whose
Importance a. we'll as courage had been
vastly overrated. The quiet people were
in deadly earnest, and they supported
their President
Much has been said and written in connec
ton with the idea Of universal eompulsor'
training and service, and approval
the idea Is spreading rapidly all over tn
country Nevertheless, there are some VIII
still say that "the American people will neYe
stand for the idea" that IL Is contrary 70 gu
traditions. / believe this 70 be untrue AT tn
present time, whatever it may have been u
the past In the past we have taken the at
titude Of the small boy who fell down al
elevator shaft Of a thirty-fve story building
and as he went down past the different sto

Ont at Last.

The somewhat belated, but altogether
satisfactory. action of the Senate judi
ciary Committee on the woman suffrage
amendment places that measure well on
its Journey through the upper branch OF
the LEGISLATURE. There seems little doubt
Of its passage. There should be none, II
no further parliamentary hurdles are
placed in its course.
All the suffragists ask, and all they
have asked at any time, is fair and free
vote on their proposal. To that every
of justice and-what Is
sometimes more. potent at Albany OF
political expediency entities them. The
vote they polled last fall was large enough
to deserve for the principle which called
il forth liberal treatment at the hands OF
any wise body Of lawmakers. 1t is certain
that there has been no falling away from
the suffrage standard. 1t is altogether
likely that the s-for-women cohorts are
stronger numerically than they were then.
Woman suffrage is not to be downed.
The amendment should be passed this year,
and ought to be adopted AS a matter OF
course by the Legislature OF next year so
that it may again be submitted TO the
voters In 1917. If the male electorate Is
not then sufficiently enlightened TO vel
come the addition Of women TO its num-
bers. so much the worse for New York
State.
