ROOSEVELT FAvORS UNIVERSAL TRA|N|NG Coloneps Recent Address Shows Folly Of Pacihcist
 Policy

Appealing, he explained, 10 the , spirit of thoroughgoing Americanism in all our people" the former presi- dent declared that those who assert that there is no danger of the United States ever being attacked are either ignorant or forgetful of the multitude of examples which show how interna- tional conflicts arise, and that ''it is ] likely that if we are not strong e. nough to maintain our rights. includ- ing the assertion of the Monroe Doe trine." the United States will be sub i ject to aggressions which it would be obliged to resent or else abandon its national greatness.
 "No Pork BarreI'
 "The people must choose as their executive and legislative leaders at Washington" Col Roosevelt said, men absolutely national in spirit; men whose theory of government is 2s far as the poles from the pork-bar- rel theory--and this. whether the pork barrel be considered from a personal, political or sectional standpoint; men who look forward and not back: men who face the facts as they actually are.
 1 After this war we shall see a new Europe; Europe energetically devel- Oping new social and economic means of meeting new problems.
 Flintlocks Obsolete
 If. under these circumstances. We take refuge in formulae dug out from lthe wreckage of principles in the past instead of developing these principles so as to meet the future, We shall be as foolish as if We were to arm our soldiers with fiintlocks and send them against an army possessing machine guns, high power rifles and modern artillery.

 Two years ago these false pro phets'' said there would never be an- other war, the Colonel said. adding: Let us not be misled again" Even should peace come in Europe tomor- row. he declared. it ought not to af- feet American policy of preparedness.
 Criticizcs Fleet
 Col. Roosevelt reiterated his views that the American fleet should have been mobilized at the beginning of the war. "a competent man put at the head of the Navy Department" and the army prepared.
 Urges Big Navy
 Pointing out that the Canal Zone Alaska and the islands must be de tended. Col Roosevelt called attention to the transportation of Russian troops from Eastern Siberia to France and of the concentration of British, French and Australasian troops at the Dardanelles. as illustrations of the speed and safety with which great masses of soldiers can be moved great distances. The Colonel again urged the second navy of the world and a regular army of 250,000 men with proper reserve.
 Universal Service
 But the navy and the regular ar my are not enough" he continued. "l speak for universal service based on universal training.
