nish the uniforms and other equipment
for the high school boys of this ma
ton 80 per cent of the able bodied
boys will volunteer to take this train
ing. For this reason / am opposed to
compulsory military training in our
common and high schools.
Let us give the younger boys ply
steal culture. Let us have national
survey made of all of the boys of ~
years of age so that We may know
how many are physically fit, and how
many should be trained along other
lines that will be useful in the defense
of our country. From II years of age
on let us give them proper physical
culture with the privilege of enlistlng
for their six months training at IS or
10 years of age, and compulsory train
ing at the age of 20, if they do not
volunteer before that time.
Improves Mental Condition.
1.-THE physical condition of our
young men will be improved by COM
ing in contact with their fellow men,
and their moral condition will be i'm
proved by discipline, and the young
men will be prepared not only for
military service but will be better pre-
pared for a business or professional
life and for the duties of citizenship.
Let us look at this matter calmly
and in a thoughtful and unprecedented
way. When the American people have
done this we will adopt simple AM
erican system of universal military
training and service, and the system
will not be hardship but pleasur-
able duty performed by the young
men of our nation for the protection
of our country in time of war and for
the benefit of our citizenship in time

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD. Aug. Hill 20 red to-
day with the blood of German divisions
sacrificed in repeated efforts. to capture
this important dominating height from
the sturdy Canadians.
Along the entire new Lens battle the
most desperate lighting has been in
progress for the past Il hours.
The Canadians have repulsed all at
tacks. At the time this dispatch is filed
they have retaken positions west Of
Cite st. Auguste. from which they were
forced by sheer weight of number dur
ing the night.
Prisoners continue to arrive behind
the British lines. The total will prob
ably prove to be greater than first be-
lieved In addition the Germans left a
considerable number of guns in the
mud. 1t is as yet impossible to give the
number thus captured.
Over the flaming bloody field British
aeroplanes have been accomplishing
miracles. They are acting as dispatch
riders between the advancing infantry
headquarters guarded by battle planes.

not try to crowd out the back 1t would
greatly alleviate the congestion. At
prominent street corners the people
against the conductors orders will push
and jam out both doors. making it i'm
possible for people 70 board the car un-

Business men should be patriotic
enough to allow recruiting posters

The government can't afford to pay
out money for expensive posters for
merchant to destroy after being in his
window for a week. The posters are
aiding him and his business. If it
were not for Uncle Sans fighting
forces perhaps he wouldn't have a
