TO CONSIDER
UNIVERSAL TRAINING

That the question OF permanent
universal military training law for the
young men of the United States will be
given serious consideration by Con-
gress at its coming session was a pre-
diction made today. Senator Chamber
lain. chairman of the Senate military
affairs committee, is the author of a
bill for universal training and 1t is
now before his committee Many
other members of that committee are
strongly in favor of the enactment of
such a law.
The adoption of the draft principle
for military service for the war with
Of universal military training believed
would be taken as a sequence to uni
versal training. But the war with
Germay caught the United States with
out any universal training law and
without any preparation. It became
necessary. therefore. to adopt a draft
law without delay, and to train the men
after they had been drafted.
The advocates of universal military
training believe that their case has
been considerably strengthened by the
experience through which the United
States Is now passing. They point out
that if the United States were in war
alone against one of the big powers II
" ould probably go hard with this coun.
try until a big army could be trained.
Under a system Of universal military
training this country need not have
waited many months before being able
to put an adequate force in the field.
That the pacifists and friends OF dis
armament will fight the proposal for
universal military training tooth and
nail is to be expected. They were Bit
ter in opposition to 1t when the Cham
berlain bill was under consideration
by a subcommittee Of the military
affairs committee before the war broke
out. But the position of the pacifists
the United States has had actual ex-
perience with modern warfare. and
their opposition to the bill in reality
may help it, in the present mood Of
