ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF PEACE

AS on officer Of the First Illinois

has had no little experience with
mobilization methords as put into
effect by the war department OF the
United States. By observation at
first hand of Europe's mobllizatioas
in the present great conflict he has
learned much of the requisite ele-
ments of modern warfare. Hence,
Maj. McCormlck's frank views as
to what this nation requires in the
way of adequate land defenses are

the American people and by cong

places universal service based on
training. He said: "l believe this
nation will revcr be absolutely safe
until we have universal service, in
which every man Is trained" Maj.
Mccormick declared that upon com

Being a poet is terrible on a good

Even quack doctor can relieve

Moral dyspepsia often goes about
disguised as plety.
A woman is in an awful hurry if
she says good by that way.
A worthless man can generate a
lot OF respect for himself.
If man wants to show off he has
certain advantages away from home.
A woman doesn't necessarily
prove her superiority when she puts

"The last year was a trying one
for me. My health had been steadily

A highly important point made
by Maj. Mccormick was this:
"Until we have unive il service
We cannot have first class military

positions will continue 70 experiment

time that national defense is acceped
as an obligation of American citizen

Maj Mccormick expressed it thus:
