UNIVERSAL TRAINING THE ANSWER

Colonel Roosevelt says if the President will consent he
will have "his division in the trenches fighting the Ger
mans inside of month"; This is about what would be ex
pected Of the Colonel but it likely materaize for
it is hardly probable any American soldiers will be sent to
Europe to take part in the Americas stand is not
taking sides with the allies against Germany or her
allies It is settling matter of her determin
alton to protect the lives Of her people the That
is ALL What it may eventually lead to is Of course only
matter of conjecture, but at present it would seem that
Americas part in the would be only that which the
navy will be called upon to take care OF.
AT the same time it has awakened the country to a
realization of it's weakness and to the necessity Of pre-
pairing for the future 1t is fortunate the trouble has
come as it has, and with nation that cannot approach
u.s. at the present at least 1t gives time to get ready
for what may and to put ourselves in condition to
meet whatever may come in the future.
wave of patriotism has swept over the country, and
the necessity Of military training is forced upon us by
conditions Any who read the story OF the present war
cannot help but realize the hepness condition IN when
England found herself when the war cloud broke She
had her fleet and this her savatlOn for 1t enabled
her to sweep the of her enemy and at the same time
shut off large part of that enemy's supplies.
France was not fully prepared but she was far ahead
Of England in that line and able with the aid of the
Begans check and hold the Germans until aid arrived
1t took England almost two years to get her armies IN
thorough shape Russia also unprepared, for while
she had an abundance of men she was lily provided with
guns and munitions 1t this unpreparedness that
made possible the succession of drives made by the central
allies Had Russia been prepared as was Germany and
Austria Serbia would not have been devastated, nor
Rumania so easily taken Belgiums preparedness and
prompt action alone saved France from second capitu
ation such as it made in 1870
The moral to be drawn from all this is that prepared
ness does not make for war; but is the other hand the
strongest kind Of force for peace Any nation will hes
tate long before attacking such country as the United
States when it is fully prepared for defense. For this
reason the objections to universal training have been
swept aside and that it viii be adopted by this country
seems assured.
There does not seem to be any other answer to the
question: and of the most rabd c the pacists
have turned squarely about and advocates Of uni
versal military training.
