WASHINGTON, March 30
Only actual war was talked here
generally today. Chancellor Holl-
veg clinched the idea. President
Wilson and his cabinet booked for
a late afternoon session were ex-
pected to shape the last details of
what will mean the entry of the
United States into the conflict in
some fashion to be decided upon
by Congress.
Hollweg is considered defiant,
weak and misleading in MS argu-
ments. He swept aside all doubts
in the minds of international ex-
perts that President Wilson viii
make a forceful demand upon con
gress for America to play full
part in the struggle. The president
today passed Up his usual early
morning golf game and worked
throughout the morning in his
study. 1t is understood that the
president is putting in tentative
form a complete form of his wa
message.
He excluded himself to ar
callers.

How Can We Defend Ourselves
against Large Armies Except
By Large Army
By PoRTER EMERSON BROWNE.

Among the sincere opponents of uni
versal military training and service
there seem to be three objections
The first is that a large army is not
necessary TO our national existence.
And yet how are we to defend our
solves against large armies by any other
means except a large army We have
tried diplomacy. We have tried pa
t4ence. We have tried forbearance. We
have tried the precepts Of humanity and
the teachings of Christianity We have
tired turning the other cheek until long
ago our supply of cheeks was exhausted.
And all these means have failed. So
how else can We defend OURSELVES OK

have armies. how can they protect us
unless they be equal, or superior in size,
equipment and efficiency to those that
raay be, or win be. sent against u.s. You
wouldn't ask one man 70 defend us
against ten2 Then why ask one million
t. defend us against ten millioue
The second objection is that universal
military training is undemocratic And
Yet when one considers carefully, what
could be more democratic2 IS it demo-
cratic to ask one man to give up his
position. his friends and his family and

In spite Of the fact that he halls

was in town last winter. and was a
guest at the history making dinner

His return on a mission for his gov
eminent is particularly welcome; and,
although so far there mas been no Of

mission, DR.. Nansen's old friends have
left him little leisure 20 think about
