URGES COMPULSORY
MILITARY SERVICE
Judge BaIIou Places Training
on Plane With Taxation
and Education.
LAUDS ARGENTINE SYSTEM

Military training and service should
be placed on the same plane as taxation
and compulsory education" Judge Sid
ney Ballou said in an address at the
Theodorus Bailey Myers Mason house
of the woman's section Of the Navy
League this morning. Instead of
leading to .jingoism, universal military
service and training would bring a
peculiar sense OF responsibility to the
lawmakers who decide on policies
which may lead to war"
Judge Ballou pointed out that with
universal service member of Congress
will realize keenly that his vote may
send thousands Of citizens of the coun-
try or of his constituency to war. I'm
der these circumstan ces. he said. 1t is
small wonder that no democracy with
compulsory military service has yet
taken the aggressive in starting a war.
Discusses the Ethical Side.
He spoke chiefly on the ethical side
OF the question Of compulsory military
training and service. He declared that
the government is under moral obliga-
ton to the men it will require or permit
" h6ae Ito "hIS " sec lAhI- lhCy 81 c
adequately trained
He added that the individual owes a
corresponding duty to the government
which he should not try to evade OF
have some one else do 1t for him.
THE country is demanding an ade-
Quate force for it's protection" Judge
Ballou said. "Under present world con-
ditions that adequate force can be Sc
cured only by some form of compulsory
military training and service. The vol.
unteer system has broken down in the
recent mobilization on the border. just
as It always has broken down under
the stress of serious trouble in the
past.
The country always has had to re-
sort to compulsory service in time Of
serious trouble. The question is wheth-
err we shall again wait until the volun.
teer system breaks down in the middle
Of a war and then apply the draft t.
unframed men. with the usual accom-.
paniment of substitutes. bounty jump
ers and deserters, or whether we shall
have our men trained at the outset. II
these days the sending Of unframed
men into the field is little less thar
murder"

IF manufacturers in the United
States desire to get the same trade
advantages, in Europe after the war,
which the British Colonies are hop

to establish branches in Canada and
thus put themselves in a position to
secure the preferential treatment
that Canadian products are expected
to receive in Great Britain and ali

So says j. S. Dennis, Assistant to
Lord Shaughnessy. President Of the

our problem will be a very serious

"a large immigration from
Europe is sure to take place when
the war is over. One result Of the
war will be to bring us preferential

know what the preferential tariff will
be, but we confidently hope that
