yides for a universal military trainlnx'
lies dormant In the Senate. With our
experience In this war and the
nenaces OF the future. 1t would seem
70 be the most e1pedient thing for TINS
country. Preparedness then would os
cur strongest safeguard OF continued
peace. The splendid army OF France
to-day Is not due alone to courage and
enthusiasm, but mainly to the fact
that France adopted universal military
training after her sad experience OF
1901, so that her men now under
stand the game OF war. Further. She
has eliminated politics from her war
department. so that now expert au-
1hority and not bureaucratic stupidity
governs. as 1t once did.
The people Of this country must o."
brought to realize that this is our war
and we must shoulder the respon-
cibillty OF winning it. Our greatest
reed is trained men. II Russia fails.
i may require not only hundreds OF
thousands, but. millions OF the best
bone and sinew OF our land TO win The
victory. Hence We must prepare and
train. not only the army now called,

Young men not only need the training
