The question, there ore, is up to the
people themselves, and belief prevails in
Washington that the people want universal
training, and can force congress to vote
for it. The paci6sts lose no opportunity

For some time these two worked long
and faithfully in the manual training

its boiler discarded paint can.

of the Nation-commerce, agriculture, f.
nance and industry in all its branches have
prepared to do their respective bits: at a
conference in Washington. organized labor
has arranged to play its part in the defense
of the country-but, as Gen. Kuhn says:
"It is all directed toward mobilization of
our material resources. However great
part material resources and munitions have
played and are playing in this war, one
factor must not be overlooked, and that is
the fighting man. He is just as important
and necessary as ever and the demands that
will be made upon his nerves and endur-
ance will be greater than ever before.
I'VE need and must have men millions
of them, and they must be trained thorough
ly-trained to face the gruelling require
ments of modern warfare. How can we
get them? Only through the American
people, who are their own masters"
The great step, according to highest
military authorities, can be taken through
the law for universal, obligatory military
training; and the univirsal training bill of
the general staff of the army was sent to
congress by President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker just before the Sixty-fourth con
gress passed away on March 4. A bill
will undoubtedly be perfected in the Sixty
fifth congress, which convenes in special
session on April 10, but it is felt that it
must be passed in that session and not
held over until December when the regu-
lar session opens, or later:
Before voting on such measure, over

Preparedness Is
The All Important
Event of the Hour.

March 22.-Together with an announce
ncnt that 1852 men have been recruited
in February for the regular army, high
officials of the war department this week
renewed their request to the defense, pre-
paredness and other patriotic organizations
OF the country to build up the military
establishment and in time of peace to pre-
pare for defense in possible war. The
strength of the nation, however, is not to
rest in the regular army. itself, but in the
civilian forces and these must be trained
for service in event of emergency or need.
Figures compiled as of December 81,
1916. show the authorized strength of the
line" in the army to be lOO.O83, the
actual strength BATH, and the vacancies
1892. the "line" including engineers,
cavalry, field artillery, infantry and coast
artillery. Further vacancies in other
branches, such as ordinance, signal corps,
quartermaster corps and miscellaneous or
CARNATIONS, bring the aggregate shortage
to 23,2O7.
Under the hye-year increment plan. the
strength of the regular army on July |,
1920, should be; peace strength, 223,5 $50;
maximum war strength,3l0,03O Thepr
posed peace strength includes noncombat-
ant troops, including unassigned recruits,
and PHILIPPINE scouts, and over 1000 Philip
pine war scouts are included in the war
strength figures. also.
The gross monthly enllstments in the
army from July last, offset largely by ex-
pir.d enlistments, discharges and deaths,
was as follows: July, 1905; August, ZOOS;
September, ESQ; October. 2,347; Noyem-
Der, 1921; December, 3.625; January.
1920; February, 4,852. And even these
modest figures, it is conceded by the war
department, are the result of extraordinary
efforts to obtain recruits, instituted as far
back as August Of last year. Postmasters
have been offered SIS for each man they
can induce to enlist, additional recruiting
stations have been opened in all parts of
the country, and every energy has been
bent TO obtain recruits-yet, at the open
ing Of the year the regular army was short
nearly $4,000 men, with small ceance of
catching up on tits shortage for long
time, if ever.
General Joseph E. Kuhn, recently United
States Military Attache at Berlin, cites the
fact.that the United States is preparing
against wars preparing on every line ex-
cept in the provision or even training of
men. The great manufacturers of the land
have organized their plants for the benefit

WILD WEST SHOW HERE JUNE IS.
Stage Coach Hold-up, Jess Willard and

Apache Kid, the notorious OUTLAW.

reproduction of one of these "border
incidents in the Buffalo Bill Wild
West show, which exhibits in Brattle-
boro Friday, June Is, in conjunction
with Jess Willard, the cowboy world :
champion, is described as thrillinclv
entertaining.
The stage, drawn by four army
mules, comes dashing into the arena,
followed by a band of mounted out
laws, who shoot the driver and ex-
press messenger, and compel the pas
sengers to alight The latter are re-
heVed of their valuablcs, and the
safe, containing an express shipment
Of gold, Is thrown upon the ground
land blown open. Just when il seems
as though the bandits would get away
with their plumber, there is the sound
Of many horses hoofs, and a posse,
led by "Sheriff = Johny Baker, the
crack rifieman, gets into the picture
There is short, sharp exchange of
shots; those of the outlaws who do not
fall are captured; a new driver is Sc
cured, and the coach, escorted by the
Sheriff and his men, starts on its
long overland journey again.
