OF saying Come to the war; am go
ing with YOU,
II wish We already had universal
military training in this country, But
We are as Great Britain was when the
war broke out. She had disregarded
Lord Roberts advice to have unlver-
sal military service. She was very
wrong In doing that.
But Il would have been n capital
mistake II. when the war broke OUT,
she had declined to send small
military expedition at once to Bel
GUM and had refused to accept vol
unteers from Canada and Australia,
on the plea that she then intended
to do nothing except In accordance
with the theory OF obligatory military
service.
what she ought to have done. was
to send her expeditlonary army exact
ly as she did; to use the volunteers
exactly as she did---and instantly to
introduce the system OF obligatory
service also. This Is precisely what
we should do.
with all my heart, approve Of
the presidents plan for universal OBJ
ligatory service---both for the present
war and as our permanent policy
This plan will give US the army we
must have eighteen months hence.
But We ought to treat as a necessary
supplement TO this plan the utiliza-
tion OF the volunteers who would not
be reached under the obligatory plan
who will not and ought not to be
asked to volunteer in the regular
army or the national guard; but who
have special fitness for the war and
who will come forward eagerly TO
service II they are to be sent abroad
at the earliest possible minute.
"The obligatory service idea is cap
ital to make those serve who ought
to do something and who ought not
to let II be twisted into preventing
those who ardently desire to serve
from serving---even although they
would be exempt from serving under
the obligatory law"
| Roosevelt was asked how he felt
toward Germany.
~ am utterly against any Hymn
Colonel Roosevelt was here re-
minded OF the fact that In the past
he had differed sharply In matters
politically with the president under
whom he now sought to serve.
"Once this country is at war" he
answered quickly, emphasizing his
staccato utterances with clenched
fsts, ~ recognize no partisanship and
no distinction Of parties. Let us all
stand shoulder to shoulder without
the slightest regard to ordinary par.
tisan consideratlons--without the
slightest regard to our differences on
internal subjects, pledged all OF us
alike to war for the honor OF the
nag and the interests OF mankind. -

rested on suspicion the day following
the robbery. Smith was employed by
the railroad company as night car in
spector. and suspicion was first d.
rected toward him because the day
following the robbery he had con-
siderable sum of money in his posses
sion and told conflicting stories in re-
gard to his sudden good fortune. A
bottle OF whisky of the same brand
as that stolen from the depot was
found in Smiths cabin.
The search for the stolen whisky
has so far proved fruitless. The
theory OF the officers is that it was
sold and either hidden somewhere in
town or taken north in a truck and
disposed OF by bootleggers operating
along the Idaho and Oregon boundar-
les. Two other men, one quite young.
are also in Jail as suspects.

CLUE FOUND IN

the burglar who entered the Western
Pacific freight depot. says the Winnie

Der % and got away with fifty-two
eases of whisky.
This clue is the Identification OF
greasy finger prints found on the sill
of the window through which the bur
glar effected entrance to the depot.
The window sill was taken to Salt
Lake City by II. L. Kline. Western Pa

perts. Today Sheriff Lamb received
a telegram from Kline stating that tbs
finger prints had been identified a!
