great bodies of influential men and women of II any nations Co prevent war and to mitigate its horrors; yet no like period has Been marrcd by so many wars of as great mag nitude, and it classes with a war that has no parallel in history. The only safe course or this na.iol is to assume that what has happened 10 other nations will at some time, how soon we cannot foresee, hap pen to us. We have seen that the consequence of unreadiness is utter defeat and destruction of a nation. Much as we abhor war and all it's aeeompaniments, we must recog- nize that they are less evil than the destruction or subjugation of this nation.
 The first essential to preparedness IS the training of our men as sol- diers. Aversion for war has inspired many of our people with aversion for this training. but if they would fully consider the alternative they would quickly overcome that senti- ment The alternative can be con- ceived from an incident which was related by General Leonard Wood in recent speech to the Lotus C'uh at New York He told Of having met at Eton school ia England the son of a friend, "a fine young fellow" When the war had been in progress for a year he met the father again and in- quired about the boy. The father re. piled that he had been killed in bat tie, and added:
 T don't regret So much hls loss, and no one could miss him more, as 1 regret the act that 1 did not give hlm sporting chance. I sent him to the front unprepared, a willing and an almost useless sacrifice to duty"
 There can be no doubt that, if this country should be attacked it's young men would rush 10 it's defense, ;-he- ther or not they had been adequately trained. The alternative which con- fronts the fathers and mothers of America is not whether their boys still go with q sporting chance," gained by proper training for the ordeal. If by opposing the training which will give the boys that chance, parents send them "unprepared, a wiling but an almost useless sacrifice to duty" those fathers and mothers will suffer through life the same vain regret which that English father feels. They will then realize the truth of what 1 Light Horse Harry" Lee sa after l hls experience with militia in the | revolution-that that country which sends raw and untrained men against trained soldiers is guilty of their mur- der. Opposition to military training does not save the boy from war; if the opposition should win and if war should come, it would send the boy 10 war to be murdered. That is the plain choice before the fathers and mothers of the United States.-Portiand Ore goDian.

GIVE A BOY A CHANCE.

Each day brings the United States nearer to open hostilities with Ger many. It is inevitable that American ships will enter the barred zone, that one of them will be sunk by sub marine, that at this season some American lives will be lost, if not in ship then by exposure in open boats. Then it will be incumbent on the president, according to his own dec- laratioa, to ask congress for author ity to protect American seamen and ships. That means fighting and though it may begin without an open declaration of war; it is eXtrmely likely to extend into declared war. Though war may at first be limited to the sea, it would be blind folly to assume that it would not be extended to the land. We cannot foresee what magnitude war on land may as- sume, hence prudence demands that we prepare to fight on the largest scale.
 The present war has taught us that wars are no longer fought by a certain number of men hired or picked from each nation. Nations transforms themselves into armies and navies, part of which do not actual fighting, while the rest of the nation provides that part with all needed material and money. Ger many, with which we are on the verge war, is organized in that manner and in order to hold our owa we must organize in the same manner and on ithe same scale. If the apparently impending war with Germany should not extend to the land, by our action we shall ha ye incurred the e1mity of that nation Me cannot safely trust to the pro posed League to Enforce Peace for immunity from attack, for that scheme IS still in embryo and can only be brought into successful oper- st1on by slow development
 Experience of the last twenty years is ample warnng against such blind confidence. No period has been marked by more earnest efforts of
