UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING


The constitution of the United States
in its preamble declares that one OF
the objects of forming the Union was
to provide for the national defense
and the constitution in express terms
makes it the duty Of the federal gov
ernment to protect the states both
from invasion, and prohibits the states
from engaging in war even in their
own defense, unless the exigency is so
immediate and pressing that the state
which is threatened has not time To
call on the federal government.
Under these circumstances, that the
nation should depend upon the state
militia for its defense is an extraordi-
nary anomaly. The government,
which IS required to equip itself for
the defense Of the nation, is left with
out equipment The states, which are
forbidden to engage in war even in
self-defense, are equipped with an ar
my, or, to speak more accurately, with
forty-eight armies.
If universal military training would
interfere with the pacific pursuits OF
the American people, that objection
might conceivably justify our resort
ing to the militia of the states, which
is organized for a totally different pur-
pose. But in fact universal military
training properly organized would pro
mote the pacific pursuits of the Ameri-
can people.
It would develop a habit of prompt
obedience to law
1t would develop the team spirit, the
habit of cooperation for common pur-
pose.
1t would break down class barriers
and put employer and employed, rich
and poor. on the same level, engaged

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Team Loses to Howell Fife
Brothers Give Enter
tainment.

Tuesday afternoon the Hopkinsville
High School baseball team was de-
feated by a team representing the
town of Howell, Ky.
1t was not high school team,
but had several ex-Kitty leaguers
and members of Company d on it.
For Hopkinsville the playing of Page
was the feature. Higgins pitched
only three innings, as he was saving
himself for the game with Paducah,
which was being played as this went
to press. Page struck out fifteen
men in six innings, but lost on ac-
count OF errors by his teammates.
Yesterday morning the Fife Broth
ers went out to the High School and
gave an entertainment, which was
enjoyed to the fullest extent. The
cornetst was forced by the applause
to give three selections. Mr.. Kuhn
played three beautiful violin solos,
which made for him permanent
place in the hearts of the students.

MANY WAR VESSELS
OF BRITISH SQUADRON
SENT TO NEW YORK
Entire North Atlantic Squad
ron Said To Be Watching
for German Raider

New York, Jan. 30.-The entire North
Atlantic squadron of the British navy
has been ordered into waters adjacent
10 New York, it was authoritatively
stated here today.
Reports of steamships that were
brought to this port and taken to Hall
fax, caused the issuance of orders to
the squadron to search for German
raider.
From sources close to the British con-
sulate it was learned New York har-
Dor waters might be any spot on the
Atlantic within 200 miles of New York
giving color to reports of German com
meree destroyer 200 miles off Sandy
Hook.
Orders were issued after masters of
various steamships had reported mys-
ferrous ships sailing about At least
two steamship captains declared they
were positive the vessel was a raider.
And embargo has been placed on wire
less messages reporting positions of
ships sailing under flags of the allied
nations.
Ships from the base at Halifax and
vessels now doing patrol duty in this
vicinity will be brought toward each
other and will establish a most rigid pa
troll Rumors that the German raider
which successfully operated off the
coast of South America was headed in
this direction have brought many rum
ors of the presence of the ship.
That the raider is expected in this
vicinity and that the British men of
war expect to capture her, was evident
from the nature of preparations.
