10 It's poorest extent. And universal
service mas It's element OF fairness
All Americans live or have nved III
this country; almost without excep-
ton all have derived some benefit
from Its services. What is falrer than
that all should rally to its refense

word in devotion 10 be ready 10 die
Tor the object OF such devotion. The
lamented and husky Horatius knew
whereof ne spoke, when aforementioned
the glories oil death in defending ali.
which men held dearest. But mere
death does not constitute an adequate
defense, and universal service to a
nation Is unfair 10 the people thereof
unless the defenders are trained for
their work. Which brings US to pni-
yersal training, the fairest plan IN a
land which may exact universal ser
vice on occasion. Anything less thar
that is merely butchery. A natio1
going to war unprepared is real
aiding its enemies IN highly tTeac
crous manner. Neglect to bring -
artillery ammunition cost The hus-
SLAMS thousands oil lives. An unpre-
pared north caused the Civil war TO
drag on for four years. History Is
replete with such sins Of omission or
commission ON the part Of nations
which might have done better. FER
haps this country doesn't need so
strong force. Let US hope it never
will. But il it should the price OF
present neglect will soar to an awful

THE FAIREST PLAN.

Perhaps you know and perhaps
you do not know, that the law of the
land makes every man of military age
not a member of an organized mill
tary unit, belong to the unorganized
militia, and as such is subject to the
call Of his country, should the coun-
try demand his services. Except for
brief period in the Civil war when
modified and evasive system of con-
scription was in force, it has been the
system of the nation to rely on vol
untary enlistments, but the other
course is in its power. Which Is
universal service II . kind, II utilized

Many intimated that the vote of

1t now seems certain that if a
break with Germany is threatened the
senators will renew the fight for
congressional action.
Senator Gore, in explaining his &C
ton, said:
"Ny original warning resolution
was offered for peace. Everybody
proposed to interpret the tabling of
it as declaration that congress
would not interfere with the presi-
dent in his negotiations, which might
lead to war.
''rhis Interpretation would have
been incorrect. Therefore, l offer

gress should declare itself clearly
and unequivocally as to whether we
will go to war with Germany if her

of the loved queen.

Queen Elizabeth of Rumania, known

her rare beauty and her unusual po-

her life and was echoed in the most

genius.

TRAITS OF THE MONKEY.
Tho Most Prominent Are Affection, Gu.
riosity and Sympathy.

TIooIIy anu oy"PaIuy
Monkeys have excellent memories
and keen observation and are able to
recognize their friends in a crowd even
after long absence. They are exceed
ingly sensitive and sympathetic in their
natures. Sympathy and curiosity, the
two most prominent traits in the mon
key psychology, are significantly the
two most important facts in the psy-
chology Of
Monkeys are the most affectionate of
all animals, excepting dogs and men.
This affection reaches its elimination,
as among men, in the love Of the
mother for her child. The mother
monkeys little one Is the object Of her
constant care and affection. She nurses
and battles it. ticks it and cleans its
coat and folds 1t in her arms and rocks
it as if to lull it to sleep, just as human
mammals do. She divides every bite
with her little one, but does not hest
tate to chastise 1t with slaps and
pinches when it is rude. The monkey
child is generally very obedient.
The affection Of monkeys is not con.
fined to the love Of the mother for her
child, but exists among the different
members Of the same tribe and extends
even to human beings, especially to
those who make any p%retensions to do
to them as they would themselves be
done by.-Exchange.
