Universal Military Training.

Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, who
introduced the first bin providing for
universal military training, intends to
push the measure when the actual war
legislation Is out of the way. lie says
that If we had had universal military
training there would have been nc diff
iculties over the selective draft of men
to organize an army.
The Adair County news., 1917-06-27

Keep in mind that fact that
the billions of dollars that will
be loaned to our allies will be
spent right here in this country
in the purchase of supplies for
their armies and civilian popula-
ton. This will mean increased
activity for every line of bus
mess from the factory to the
farmer. 1t will also mean that
the millions that have been
boarded up will be put into cir
cuIation and each person will be
directly benefited thereby. Men
of brains will see the significance
of these facts, but the croaker,
of course, will keep right on
croaking until the devil gets him.

German DeCepil l..

press printed in this country
grossly misrepresent the attitude
of the United States in this war.
They seek to convey the i'm
preston that this is Mr.. Wilson's
war, and not a war of the United
States. While these extracts do
not absolutely declare that the
people of the United States are
against the war, they seek to
create that impression upon Ger
man readers. They declare that
the $4,000 900, 900 bond issue has
been failure, that the people
will pot subscribe for these
bonds because they do not pro-
pose to aid the government in
the war. These bonds have
been oversubscribed, and the
subscriptions have come from all
classes of the population.
These extracts go on to say
that conscription has been COM
plete failure. We know very
we'll that Germans in this coun-
try did all they could to make it
a failure and that they sent all
kinds of literature throughout
the country ard endeavored to
work up feeling against the
government. In spite of all
these efforts, which completely
failed, the registration was d
perfect success and nearly, if
not quite 10, 100000 young men
registered.
The third mis-statement of
these extracts from German
newspapers are to the effect that
the United States has fallen down
in all of it's preparedness plans
for war. None of the plans of
the government in this respect
have failed. The navy is ready
| for action. An army of 100, 1000
trained soldiers is equipped and
ready for France. The National
Guard of nearly 100000 is fully
equipped and ready for almost
immediate service, and so sue
cessful have been the plans of
preparation upon the part of the
government that by next spring
there will be 100000 trained
soldiers ready for any emergency
that may arise. In addition to
this the United States is build
ing ships for commerce in this
country faster than they can be
sunk by German submarines.
Our government has taken over
more German ships interned in
our ports than the German SUBJ
marines have sunk in the last
two months.
Scientific experts are busy test
ing various inventions and de-
vices to destroy submarines and
American genius is certain to
meet this condition, as it has met
all others that have ever arisen.
The German newspapers may be
able, for a while by misrepre-
sentation, to keep the German
people in ignorance of what the

OPPOSED TO THE
PRESS CENSORSHIP

New York. April 2s.AResolutions
requesting congress to eliminate the
press censorship clause in the e..
pionage bill because It strikes. at the
fundamental rights Of the people,"
and is ''full of peril to free institu-

the American Newspaper, Publishers
association at their annual conven-
ton here today.
"The proposed legislation" the res
olution said. STRIKES at the funda-
mental right of the people. not only
assailing their freedom OF speech, but
also seeking to deprive them Of the
Means of forming intelligent opinion.
It's possible consequences in restrict
ing the liberty of the press are full
of peril to free institutions.
1.-The censorship proposed It believ-
ed to be a violation of the constitution
Of the United States, which prohibits
congress from ~'abridging the freedom
Of speech or Of the press An efforv
to suspend this constitutional guaran-
tee, is sure to be followed by grave
injury to the rights Of the people,
whose great safeguard in time
Of war is an untrammeled press.
