less gay than usual because some small
parts were poorly played.
The fun Of tragedy, we think. lies in
the fight shown by tho person who is

much OF fight or showed much pluck,
in spite OF the fac. that the people in

pity of the end. in spite of the fact
that Miss Stevens PLAYS with much &C.
curacy. Conway Tesrle is effective as
Malise, and Annie Hughes gives a good
performance as Mrs. Miller.
"The Fugitive" seems to us a rather
tiresome tragedy. We're almost sure
it is trivial. Certainly it may not be
compared with "Strife" or THE Pigeon"
or even with Justice" for that matter.

groups. A very small Regular Army for
service. in which men volunteer for a
period of three wears. A reserve OF the
Regular Army into which men may pass
if they so desire at the close of their three
years of regular service. A National
Guard of each state. each under the direc
ton of its respective state. composed OF
men who volunteer for period of three
years TO take one hour training and drill
a week An unorganized militia OF the
United States. composed Of all men be-
tween the ages of eighteen and forty-fve
not in any of the three previously men,
toned groups.
This is hodge-podge system. system
Of innumerable contradictions. Members OF
the first three groups are allowed to choose
in times of peace whether or not they will
serve the nation but their training Is COM
DulsOrB On the other hand every physi-
cally fit man between eighteen and forty
five is compelled to serCe his country
in time Of war, but is permitted in time
of peace to choose whether or not he will
allow himself 10 be trdtaed, to be made fit
to serve.
As an organization for defence it is un-
necessary to discuss the question Of rot
uatayy sercice in the militia forces of the
United States. To-day. no nation of any
consequence in the world depends upon
system of voluntary military service. The
United States is no exception. Our mill
tarv system, based upon the laws Of the
United States. classes all men between the
ages Of eighteen and forty-five as mem
bers of the Regular Army, of the National
Guard. or of the unorganized militia.
Each and all can be compelled to serve.
The only factor that is voluntary, the only
thing in which the individual citizen may
make a choice. is whether he wills to nj
himself to serve efficiently when he is
called or whether he wills not to take that
training.
We compel, by compulsory service act.
every man to fight if necessary in case Of
war. but we leave it to his own individual
voluntary decision to determine whether he
shall or shall not be prepared for that SER
vice. This is similar to passing a law maxi
ing it OmpulsOry for any man between
the ages of eighteen and forty-five to swim
ten miles at sea at any time the govern
ment calls upon him to do SO, yet permit
ting him to 90 through life without learn
ing to swim. If we are to compel the
Young boy of eighteen or nineteen or
twenty to swim the ten miles in the open
sea should we not, for his own good, also
compel him to learn to swim, so that he
may not drown in the attempt we compel
him TO make?
The Third System the Universal Obi
gatory Boyhood Training of Switzerland,
will be described tomorrow.
