(, would ind II harder to get employ
ment IL they agreed to abandon that
employment for two months IN each
year.
Thirdly. It would be harder for the
regular army to give them the neces-
sary training. During the first year.
and presumably during the summer
months, they would have to take IN
hand over a hundred thousand raw
recruits and give them the first third
of their military training. During the
corresponding months of the secona
year they would have to take the
same men and give them the second
third Of their military training and At
the same time take In hand another
hundred thousand raw recruits. Dur
Ing the third year they would have in
hand nearly four hundred thousand
citizens, one-third nearly trained. one
third only one-third trained, and one
third raw recruits.
The president also proposes That
the continentals after serving with the
colors shall serve for term OF years
In the reserve.
This would be q wise provision
from the purely military point OF
view; but the longer term of service
with the colors and in the reserve
the harder It will be to get men to
volunteer at all. So long as we must
depend on volunteering, the best we
can do is to get our volunteers as
young as possible, train them as rap
idly as possible. and when trained, dis
charge the mas promptly as possible
to make room for unframed volun-
teers.
We can take lesson from the his
tory OF Prussia. By the treaty or
Tilsit in 1907, Napoleon forced Prus-
sia to agree not to maintain an army
of more than forty-two thousand men.
Prussia reduced her army to this
treaty limit, and then proceeded to
discharge from her small army large
number of well drilled soldiers, filling
their PAGES with raw recruits. When
these recruits were sufficiently trained,
they in turn, were discharged to make
room for other raw recruits who were
trained and discharged in the same
way. For nearly six years down to
the beginning Of 1913, the strength OF
the army stood at forty-two thousand
men; but every year Prussia had
added to her civic population a large
number Of men, thoroughly trained
to military service. At the end of the
six years, Prussia was able to, tako
the leading role in the final coalition
which drove Napoleon to his downfall,
beginning the campaign Of 1913 with
well trained army of eighty thous-
and men and increasing it so rapidly
that in the terrible campaigns which
ended with the battle Of Waterloo she
lost hundred and thirty thousand
men.
There Is a certain analogy between
the case of Prussia in 1907 and ou-
case today. Prussia then maintained
small army in time OF peace because

Napoleon forbade her to maintain a
large one. We maintain q small army
In time of peace because we do not
care to pay for the maintenance OF q
large army which may never be used
in war. Prussia tn 1907 had no imme.
date expectation OF engaging In war.
Napoleon was then at the summit OF
his power. He was lord Of continental
Europe and Prussia lay PROSTATE at
his feet.
, No one could anticipate IN 1907 that
five years later he would venture on
the MOSCOW campaign which marked
the beginning Of his decline and fall.
The contingency that a successful
coalition could be made against him
was remote; but for that remote con-
tingency Prussia resolved to be pro-
pared.
What IS our case today. We know
that any of several nations could, II 1t
choose, invade this country and I'M
pose upon us humiliating war IN
demnity. We can no longer feel safe
against invasion merely because we
do not deserve to be invaded. The
history OF the last two years has
proved that nations may be crushed
without deserving to be attacked. We
have almost forgotten that the great
war now raging in the old world arose
out Of local dispute In the Balkans.
Austria complained that Serbian off
cials had encouraged revolutionary
societies In Bosnia and Herzegovina
with the purpose of detaching these
provinces from the Austrian empire.
An Austrian army OF occupation in
Bosnia and Herzegovina would have
frustrated this purpose without caus-
~, - 4. <rr,r tr 1o Rrad INV Iyhara IN TN a

Austria chose rather to crush Ser
bia. Russia, In sympathy with Serbia,
modified her army. Germany, as the
ally OF Austria, declared war against
Russia The German campaigns In
Poland and the Balkans have now
made 1t clear to demonstration that
German army stationed on the Rus
sian frontier and another on the from
tier Of France would have prevented
Russia from interfering with the Aus
trian campaign against Serbia with
out causing a gun 70 be fred in west
ern Europe or on the sea. Germany
preferred to make war against Russia
by invading France and to invade
France by way of Luxembourg and
Belgium
Now, we need not stop to criticize
the motives Of the be1ligerent powers.
We may even assume that each party
to the war has been actuated through
out by sincere regard for its own Sc
curity. The fact remains that Luxem-
burg, Belgium. France, Serbia and
Montenegro have been invaded with
out having done any act which to
them or to US seems to have justified
invasion.
For ourselves, we must admit that
we are the richest and weakest, and
on the whole the most generally dis
liked of all the great nations, and we
proclaim as an essential part of our
national policy what Bismarck once
called the insoIent Monroe doctrine.
We cannot be sure that the contin-
gency of war Is more remote from US
today than it was from Prussia in
1907:
The cost Of preparedness amounts
to considerable gum. Not all Of it,

On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com.
pany testified that the claims OF the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost Of
carrying passenger a mile. The
State. however. contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on Its state freight business to give q
fair return upon the capital used In
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes Of the

State could not segregate Its pas.
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient TO pay the cost OF doing
business and enough TO give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented TO the Su-
preme Court. Its decision responds
70 the judgment Of the fair.minded
sentiment OF the country. The Su-
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling It 10 haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway com.
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
10 carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision Is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules Of fair dealing apply TO railway
companies The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as q reason for com.

ORGANIZE UNION
More Than 300 Government
Employees Combine for Own
Protection.
MOVE is AN ANSWER
TO BORLAND RIDER
Fifteen Hundred Workers Gather at
National Rifles Hall and Pro-
test Increase in Hours.

The first practical result of the intro
duction in the House of Representa-
tives of the Borland rider, which at
tempts to require additional work with
out additional pay from government
employees. was evidenced last night at
National Rifles Hall, when more than
900 government workers formed new
la Dor union-the Federal Civil Service
Employees Cnion-and affiliated them
selves with the American Federation
of Labor.
A temporary organization was eff
fected. another meeting was called to
be held Friday night at Typographical
Temple. and every man in the new
union was pledged to go out and work
for the thorough organization of all the
government employees of Washington.
1t is understood that the 300 govern
ment employees in the new organization
are today at work in the government
departments inducing fellow employs
to come under the banner of organized
la Dor.
This step was the direct outcome of a
mass meeting. which, despite the in
element weather, brought 500 govern
ment employees to the hall, which had
been called to protest against Repre-
sentative Borlands attempt to lengthen
by one hour each day the labor of the
government employees without addi-
tionally compromising the workers
Many protests were registered. strong
resolutions were passed. which charac-
terized the Borland rider as in con-
hict with the principles of human vel
fare, the ideals of just and enlight-
ened nation. and with the whole trend
of public thought"
