A FASHION
BY J. PouIade


The improper claiming OF exemption
from war service is becoming a fash
iona very cheap and miserable
fashion.
We do not appreciate our situation
"a situation which, when predicted,
was pooh poohed" by pacifists, by
the thoughtless. and even by some
VINO were considered statesmenA-a
real. actual, present world war In
which our national existence is threat,
ened. We hardly even recognize the.
fact that to threaten our national exL
existence is to threaten our individual
personal subjugation, the destruction
OF our property, our families, our lib.
erty, and our then worthless lives.
Universal, compulsory military
training ond service must soon come
II our national life is to be preserved.
Every man must be a soldier, begin
ming as early in life as practicable,
and continuing until weakness comes
with extreme old age.'G '5f TI
We ought to act now. II is a matter
of force, not choice. AS long as there
is upon the earth one nation-no mat
ter how small-which Is physically
and mentally efficient and is pugna-
cious, every nation that holds it's. lib.
erty dear must be always prepared
for war. Otherwise that one nation
will dominate. safa F
But we have a duty in this very
hour.
We are now-late, very. very late
under the protection of European peo-
pies which have not yet been SUBJ
jugated and who stand united as q
barrier between us and destruction
we are preparing TO oppose the AUTO
cratic idea in goyernment-the idea
OF government through physical force
and fraud. and cunning. by one over
many. s.,r.
In the process Of evolution, the
world has reached a stage where auto
cracy a. democracy cannot co-exist.
ShCu. our idea prevail, we shall 60
forward with certainty to world
union of nations, each self governing,
with world police to enforce peace,
and to punish offenders agains, inter.
national justice TO the extent OF ex.
termination II requisite. Should the
autocratic idea prevail. the world must
certainly go backward long time.
How many centuries We must suffer
under the oppression OF tyrants no
man can say.
But each man may choose his per.
sonal part-to aid in justifytng the
sneer at America by the autocratic
war lord. or to aid in destroying the
forces which would enslave mankind.
There is no middle course. .

A question of considerable import
ance that the government will have
10 dispose OF after the exemption
boards finish their work will be the
disposition of the aliens of neutral
countries who refuse to serve in the
army of the United States. There are
two sides to the question and both
must be considered. A citizen of
neutral country certainly has a right
to claim exemption II he go desires,
but II he shares the benefits of our
government he certainly should share
the burden. If he refuses to share
the burden then he should be denied
the benefits. We cannot afford to send
our loyal citizens to the front and turn
over the opportunities of the country
TO the enjoyment of foreigners. Any
foreigner who claims exemption on
the ground of being a citizen of a for
eign neutral country should not be
allowed to enjoy homestead pTivil-
eges or the right to hold property in
this country. Citizenship should for.
ever be denied, and he should be per-
mitted to enjoy but little of the bene.
Ats offered by our government.
