We Must Either Enlarge Standing Army
Or Adopt Universal Military Service
BY SENATOR GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN of Oregon
Chairman Senate Committee on Military Affair.

One of two courses must be adopted by congress
if proper solution of the question of national defense
is to be reached One alternative is to maintain at all
times larger standing army than is provided for.
To maintain at all times a large standing army
would involve immense expense, and it is very ques
tonable if under system of recruiting it would
be possible to keep the ranks Of the army filled beyond
100000 for all purposes, either at home abroad
The other alternative is to maintain reasonable

The Belgian children's Fund.

OF the many worthy relief movements called
into being by the great European war, none has
been undertaken on such colossal scale or for
such an appealing purpose as the Belgian chill
drens' fund which is being promoted by the
Literary Digest. n # N a "a
According to reliable information, there are
l,2s0,O00 children directly dependent upon the
food supplied by the commission for relief in
Belgium, which is furnishing them with rations
wholly insufficient for growing youngsters The
effort is to be made to supplement this allow
ance with an extra ration at cost of $l2 for
each child for year so that the appeal is for
contributions in $l2 units, whether made up by
one donor or a group of donors, and the Literary
Digest is itself to meet all expense of collection,
administration and transmission. When the ques-
ton. is put in hard rough words; "How many
children will you save from slow starvation dur
ing the year l9l7l' it cannot be brushed aside
with unconcern except by those who are already
doing their full duty in other relief work.
Through its sponsorship Of this Belgian Chill
dren's fund the Literary Digest will be earning
the gratitude not only Of the children who may be
saved but also Of their benefactors in this country
thus given an opportunity for practical and effec
tive service to humanity.

Automobiles and Mechanics.

One bill now before the Nebraska Legislature
deserves careful consideration. 1t is intended
to regulate the practice Of automobile repair
ing in the state. One of the conditions Of the
use OF the self-propelled vehicle is that it now
and again requires the attention Of skilled me-
chanic. In fact, the machinery OF the auto is OF
such nature that its proper handling demands
more than ordinary skill, and considerable
knowledge Of the working methods of several
crafts, In Nebraska, as elsewhere, the general
use of these vehicles has requisitioned the serv
ices Of large number Of repair men, and owners
have discovered that these are not all qualified for
the service. Many slight arrangement has been
aggravated through the unskfu minstrations Of
the ignorant or incompetent and it is protection
from these that is sought The bill will be
watched with interest, and if it can be determined
that satisfactory standard Of mechanical COM
petence can be fixed by law in this calling, other
trades may be encouraged to try the plan.

The Handmade Of Progress.

The annual report Of the Nebraska state audi
tor, dealing with mortgage capital, fairly meas
ures the steady development OF Ncbraska's re-
sources and the progressive enterprise of the
people. 1t shows a net increase in farm mort
cages during 1910 OF $1S,27500O and in town and
city mortgages of $4,752,0O0 In other words a
total Of $23oOO,000 of new capital has been Dor
rowed by forward-looking people for the purpose
of lettering their condition and developing their
ambitions and ideals, f' %~.
In former times much fear and trembling ae-
companied the placing of a mortgage on a farm
or city home. 1t was regarded as great risk
and visions of possible loss restrained many from
securing capital for development, which, wisely
thought out would have prohted the borrower
beyond the cost. Example and experience have
banished these fears and made borrowed capital
the handmade If not the wheehorse, of enterprise
and getthereativeness. Comparatively few city
people acquire homes without borrowing some
part of the cost. To larger extent this is true
OF farmers seeking land. First cost and necessary
equipment require capital and the mortgage is the
best means to the end.
Moreover, the mortgage infuses into the live
maker degree of energy and industry we'll worth
the cost. 1t stimulates thrift, promotes economy
cuts out needless pleasures and substantially ad.
vances the physical as we'll as the material health
OF those who dare and do. Time has not altered
the mortgage risk, its warmth remains as steady
and regular as its payday The main precautior
for the borrower is to guage the load by the
ability to pull and produce. Thus safeguarded
the mortgage becomes spur to industry, perse
verance and success.
