WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN
 Number Four
Military Training Necessary for Safety
 and Defense.
Number Four


 Say, Uncle Dan," said Billie, '|Jim- mic and l have been looking up about war in the encyclopedia at school. We found that in the war between Ger many and France in 1S70-71, Germany lost in killed and wounded 28.OOO sol- diers while France lost about six times as many, and besides that, she lost every battle. We asked Professor SlO- cum why this was. He said that the German army was highly trained and ably commanded while the French soldiers were poorly trained; and that their war department was honey combed with jealousy and politics i; that the officers were not much good, and that's why France lost the war and so many men. What do you think about it, Uncle Dan?"
 "Well," said Uncle Dan, Professor Siocum is right. By inefficiency France lost that war, together with two Of her best provinces-Alsace and Lor- raine-and had to pay billion dol lars indemnity money. France today learned her lesson by that sad eXpe- rience, so she put in universal military training, and as a result, her soldiers noW know how to fight and how to protect themselves. They are losing less men in the war than the Germans France also put politics out of her war department, so that expert authority, instead of bureaucratic stupidity, now directs the army. The result is, France has one of the best and most efficient armies every assembled, and this shows what thorough training and good leadership means in warfare This saved France in this crisis, as we'll as the liberties of the world"
 "As war is now conducted, there Is no place for an untrained man. A body of 10000 we'll trained soldiers properly handled could defeat five times their number of raw recruits and do 1t every time with comparatively small loss to themselves. Proper train ing alone will reduce the death and casualty rate one-third of what it oth- erwise would be, and right here is an unansWerable argument for universal! military training.
 'Our government has no moral right to force her men into war service without properly training them for it. To do so is simply murder, hence the frantic effort that is now being made to give her soldiers some training be- fore they are sent to the front. If we are to win this war, it will take trained men to do 1t, and it will take trained men to win any other war that may come upon us in the future. If we
The Home news., 1917-11-30

must fight, let us fight to win and not to lose"
 That's the stuff," said Billie.
 Continuing, Uncle Dan said: "Our government has expended about $30O,- 100000 to put up cantonments and training stations in order to train the men called by the selective draft. When these men are trained the train ing stations should be immediately filled with younger men, say those in their nineteenth year, to receive six months of intensive military train Ing along the lines of the Chamberlain bill. This will be of immeasurable benefit to them individually. It will do them more good than any other two years of their whole life; it will make them strong manly, self-reliant, quick to see and quick to act; it will equip them for a successful life. In short, 1t will rebuild American manhood and will also give the government body of trained men to draw from in case 1t is necessary to defend our flag and country. We must settle this question of universal military training imme- diately, otherwise these training camps may be demolished. The adoption of universal military training will be mo- tice to the world that from then on we will be prepared to defend our- selves promptly and efficiently, and this will do more to keep us out of war in the future than anything else we could do."
 "Do you think, brother" said Mrs. Graham, "that there will ever be an- other war;"
 'I have no doubt about it, said Uncle Dan. "So long as men are selfish. so long as nations are ambi- tious to acquire territory, so long as population presses and demands more room, so long as there remains a scramble for world trade-so long wars will be. When the time comes that we reach the high plane for which we hope and dream, when ull will recOg- niZe the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, then, and then only, will W;;IS cease. When that day comes doors will need no locks, banks will need no vaults to protect their treasures, but that day is long way off,
 ''The only safe and sane plan is to be able to defend ourselves at all times. Therefore, every citizen should insist that senators and congressman shall provide for universal military training, so that never again shall the country be caught so completely un- ready as this war found us. For tunately, in this case, our enemy has been held back, so we have had few months in which to prepare. This ad- vantage probably will never come again. It is however our salvation oday.
 Because she was ready, Switzerland S an island of peace in a sea of war. Safety first is good but safety always is better. In strength there is safety. You never saw a tin can jed to the tail of bulldog. There $ 8 reason"

IOWA'S PRODUCTION

falling off in butter production in Iowa
this season as compared to last, from
fifteen to twenty per cent. This is the

walton department under Herbert Hoo
yer at Washington.
Complete returns are OF course, not
in from over the state for the first SIX
months of this year but sufficient
number have come in to warrant the
above estimate. This shortage Of but

German airplane two or three allied
ones, and If during an attack the allies
concentrated their aerial forces there
could be five or six allied machines to
one German in the area where the at
tack was being carried on. This would
establish the absolute superiority of
the allied aviation. The German ma
chimes would be Obliged to stay behind
their lines and would be attacked over
F, their own aerodromes. The allied spot
| ting machines would be able to do
| their work in absolute security far in
the German lines, and could therefore
direct the firing very accurately and
+, save great deal of ammunition.
The result of all this would be that
ton of all that was being done back Of
the German lines while our adversaries
would know nothing Of what we were
preparing.
In one word, this would mean the
absolute air supremacy with all its ad-
vantages: the binding Of the enemy,
the precision Of our artillery fire,
which would have a double advantage
1t would save ammunition and also
save many of our soldiers lives. This
was proved in 1916 at the beginning
OF the Battle Of the Somme.
III the front was pierced and the
enemy was forced to retreat. it would
be as disastrous to them now as 1t
would have been in the old days for an,
army to retreat without cavalry in the
face Of an enemy having powerful
cavalry. The aviation is the cavalry
OF modern time.
viii Secure Victory.
THE Intervention OF the United
States in 1918 with great and power
full aviation would, without doubt. Sc
cure the Victory OF the allies. This
would be a decisive victory-a vic
tory Of democracy over autocracy II
this victory was not decisive. the ques.
ton would be brought up again in 10
years. and would then probably be
fought out not in Europe but on the
American soil"
