COMPULSORY TRAINING.
JUDGE MARTINS IDEA
Universal Course Will Bring All Re-
cruits Necessary-Needed Leg
islation Suggested

OF course. the first thing that should be
done by the nation is the passage OF bhl
providing for universal military training
IL could be done in any of three ways-by
compulsory training and voluntary service
or vice versa. or by compulsory service and
training. | am inclined to think that com
pulsory training will bring all the recruits
that are needed for it will arouse interest
in military affairs.
The economic necessity of such "a meas
urc is apparent. BY our present volunteer
system We get in the National Guard men
whose salaries average about $3.50 a year
If we had universal service, we would call
out younger men, eighteen to twenty years
old, whose average earnings are probably
less than $500 per year. The saving here
runs into the hundreds Of millions ana Is
too large factor TO overlook
Pending the enactment of such legislation
there should be enlistments Immediately
to bring the guard TO war strength, or to
the strength provided for by the President.
The guard is the second line Of defense. and
undoubtedly it will see service If any other
branch does. II should be impressed on
young men that they are hindering pre-
paredness by delaying enlistment until war
is actually declared. They should join i'm
mediately and get all the training possible.

NATIONS UNITY CLEARLY
TYPIFIED IN MEETING

1t seems to me that the meeting in lnde-
pendence Square this afternoon will slim
ulate patriotism in the minds of every
American as meeting in no other part
of the United States could do. 1t pictures
to the mind Of every American the courage
of the men who in that building declared
to the world their independence and their
determination to found nation which was
to stand for liberty and equal rights.
The great question before the United
States today is to declare to the world their
belief that all the powers we have at our
command should be used to extend these
principles and to prevent any nation from
curbing in any manner the opportunities
which are held out not only to our own
citizens but to those who come to America
as the land of their adoption.
The one thing that will make the United
States a mighty nation, Is a greater ma
triotism and national unity, and Independ-
ence Hall and Independence Square typify
more than any other place such national
unity. 81, -
The whole country will be impressed with
the importance of todays meeting.

This larger patriotism has been the guid-

LARGER PATRIOTISM SUMMONS

AS long as the world shall last there can
never fade from the memory of man the
significance of what took place in our city

Declaration of Independence is the highest
epitome Of human freedom and the herald
of universal liberty. 1t was the frutage of
Gods word concerning the relst',n of man

TO government and. society. Its leading
truths that "al men are created equal:
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness that to secure these rights gov
ernments are instituted among men, deriy-
ing their just powers from the consent of
the governed" were revolutionary in their
character, Then and there was struck the
death blow to privilege and caste and the
vicious principle that people existed for the
State and not the State for the people Just

and have been since that day, shining as
beacon lights of hope to the oppressed of

FOLLOW FOREFATHERS,
'~ THOMAS ROBINS ADVISES
Uniform or Wear Prussian
Livery

If there is one lesson that history teaches
with greater certainty than any other it is
that there is no alternative between fight1
ing and slavery. Four times our country
has been confronted with the question
whether II would submit to the yoke or re-
sent by force of arms. The .indolent the
fatuous and the cowardly have each time
counseled avoidance of danger by submis-
sion. Three times their counsel has been
set aside. In 1776 the payment of a
trifling tax would have avoided war. Our
fathers refused to evade the issue: they
chose war, and they won their liberty by
the sword. In 1912 commercial liberty was
threatened Again there were those who
would surrender principle rather than fight.
Our fathers fought and won. In 1861 spe
cial privileges were claimed for an undenlo-
cratic and un-American institution. Com
promise was counseled by the timd and the
time serving. Our fathers put aside com.
promise, fought for the right. and won. And
now the question confronts us shall we don
the American uniform now or wear the
Prussian livery for all time We must
solve this problem as our fathers solved it.

LET EVERY MAN PREPARE
FOR CALL, PROVOST URGES
ing at Once to Answer. Ma
TONS Summons

l think that every person should calmly
prepare himself to answer the call of his
country when it comes. If physically able,
let him enter a drill corps and follow up
the exercises i'm his spare moments, gain
ing at least some proficiency, so that when
he is wanted he will have the elements
of a training that will have to be COM
pleted later in camp before he can be used
Those wis are not physically able to bear
arms should try to determine in what way
they can be useful. Experience has shown
that it takes about four people at home to
do the work which is necessary to keep one
man in the field So we all have enough to
do. Let US do it quietly, earnestly and
thoroughly.

Many are burning up today with patriotic
fire that flames forth in public demonstra-

up those very principles which make our
America so beloved to us--free speech, free

TRUE PATRIOT FORGETS SELF.
SAYS REV. JOHN GRANT NEWMAN

Patriotism" is a great word only when it
stands for great idea. Love for country"
is far more than just love for SOIL It
is love for high ideals, for free institutions
and for men who live for these ideals and
institutions.
Patriotism is not a great thing when It
ceases to be heroic or when it becomes sell
fish or ceases to care for the well-beinp
the comfort, the very life of others. Don't
tell me a man is patriot when he cares
for his own family only or his own State
only. The patriot must love far beyond
his own backyard. To seek ease, to fear
hardship, to keep ones self from danger is
not patriotism but craven cowardice,
Now, what kind of a thing is our patriot
ism as nation to be? Shall it be selfish :?
Shall it not be rather of that nobler sac
rificial type that would give its all for
others who suffer wrongfuly? Surely it
ought to be-

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP ASSUMES

The countrywide display of patriotic de-

was not created by international complica-

the European belligerents 1t was merely
awakened and given a voice. We have had
