upon man-power. And in all Coun- tries the vital need of carefully hus- banding that resource above all other resources is being slowly and with pains being forced upon every one. This var is tearing to pieces the class system of the nations al though it built it's beginnings upon just such caste. Every shell that burst in the trenches has been sym bolical of the explosive effect upon human institutions of this war, and that this is evidenced as yet only in Russia, is because Russia was the rottenest and the ripest for this manifestation.
 We believe that there is good deal more concern felt over con- scription than is justified. It will, in the main, take those who would be able to live without working and without any kind of involuntary service in any event The workers will be needed at home and the most of them due to the blessings of unrestricted capitalism will not pass the physician in any event.
 What is to be prevented is the carefully cultivated notion that dur ing the war there is any reason for a sudden alteration in the status ot labor organization, or that there must be any sudden destruction or personal rights, or that there is to be a complete surrender to those who operate industries the condt tions which labor has wrung after

endless struggles.
 To provoke an anti-war propa- ganda with the objective of making labor organizations come under the authoritarian ban is what is inten- sely desired by many powerful ex- ploiters who are skilful above all other things in exploiting their pseudo patriotism. Take note in this connection of the patriotic money grabbers of Chicago Board of Trade who gambled in wheat while the nation was starving for want of flour These people will stop at nothing to make the people, the government, the national affairs their plaything and their profit making instrument, and will com pei the workers to surrender them selves completely to them. It Is against such an eventuality that the labor organization will stand like a stone wall. It alone gives the masses power, and it alone, with it's immense control of the economic situation follows from working class solidarity, is the sheet anchor for the masses in these or in any other days: in the days of war or in the piping times of peace. And one or the other are not 50 different froh the working class standpoint that they should get excited about it or lose their heads or aspire to martyrdom or-the same thing become catspaws for a clique or anti-war nationalistS.

SUNK STEAMER PLAN
 DEVISED BY BRITISH

The idea of aeroplanes attacking in this fashion is extremely practi- cal. British anval authority de- clared today It is hoped that the United States will soon start often sive movements against German ships with this means of attack. A light gun, loaded with cordite can be used to fire the torpedo, or a spe- cial launching arrangement in the form of light basket which throws tho torpedo and enables it to be aimed.

LONDON, June 23.-When a German seaplane sweeped down and discharged an aerial torpedo which sank the 5000 ton British steamship Gcna, the Bocbe stole one of the pet ideas for naval warfare which the British Admiralty had been treasuring. Over a year ago the English aeroplanes were fitted out with devices for carrying and dis charging torpedoes against enemy ships, but the Germans beat them to it.

All France hopes that American intervention will render it unneces- sary to ever Ggain call out one ot the French Classes before the usual military age. The class of 1918 which is now at the instruction camps is probably one of the finest France has produced. It is being especially instructed in bayonet fighting and handgrenading.

GIVE OUR BOYS A FIGHTING
CHANCE
(By William Wrigley, Jr., Chicago.)

(By William Wrigley, Jr., Chicago.)
How fortunate it would have been
had we adpoted universal military
training five or ten years ago 1t
would have meant much in the pres
ent crisis - 1t probably would have
kept us out of the war. But it's no
use to cry over split milk. The ques-
zion is, what shall we do now? Every
thoughtful man must feel that a ma
ion unable to- protect itself promptly
) blind to the tragic possibilities of
is heedlessness. War comes unex-
ectedly and, as in our own case, 1t
Is sometimes forced upon an limo
cent bystander," For three years we
submitted to insult and injury, until
forbearance ceased to be virtue and
.here was nothing left for us but to
assert our rights and to defend them.
No country in the world hates war
more than we do. Only extreme pro-
vocation would induce us to take up
arms. Experience shows abundantly
hat a peace-loving nation is not safe
because of that fact. Belgium and
some of the Balkan states are evil
dence of it.
AS the world is constituted, and has
been through thousands of years of
strife, there is only one safe plan, and
that is to follow the advice of Wash
ington-in time of peace, prepare for
war. If we had done this few years
ago, we would have saved billions of
dollars and tens of thousands of lives.
1t is common knowledge in military
circles that trained men, by knowing
how to take care of themselves in
camp and in the field reduce the NOR
tally and casualties at least two
thirds, and, what is even more vital,
men of special training only can be
used in modern warfare.
Nationally, We need a little fore
sight, a keener appreciation of the
necessity for providing for future con-
tingencies. We cut ice in the coolest
sort of weather when nobody wants
ice, for we know 1t will be demanded
a few months later; so we prepare in
mid-winter, for our comforts during
the heated period of summer.
The plan Of universal military
training as outlined In the Chamber

lain Bill would mako available ut all
times, millions Of young mon who
have had sufficient military training
TO enable them 10 become excellent
soldiers with q few weeks OF add
tional training. This would safeguard
the nation and prepare II against any
contingency that would probably
arise, and II one should never arise,
the training and discipline would DO
the very best experience that any
young man could have. 1t would
make him stronger physically, more
alert mentally, quicker to see and TO
act. Also, II would increase his earn
ing capacity and give him better
chance to win success In his life
work. Our boys appreciate this. l
think the majority Of them would be
glad to take the training.
War is a calamity beyond descrip-
ton. We are sorry that any OF our
young men should be compelled to
engage in 1t, but there are some
things worse than war, and one would
be to have our country dominated by
"a foreign poverty rule of ruth
less militarism that counts war as a
regular business.
Since the boys may at any time be
called upon to defend our country and
our flag, we owe 1t to them to provide
them with careful, pertaining so
that they may perform this important
national function both efficiently
and as safely as possible. We must
not be asleep at the switch. The re-
sponsibility is up to the American
citizen and the voters of this country
to demand the passage Of the Cham
berlain Bill or some similar measure
by Congress at its next session. 1t
has already been postponed too long.
It's time now for action.
