Gradual Training Proposed.

THE bill here transmitted looks to
the annual training of about 100000
men, who. when trained. pass into the
reserve. until ultimately there will be
available an aggregate force in the
active and reserve force of the country
of about 100000 men. The war COL
lege will place itself at your disposal.
either to study any other suggested
plan or to advise upon notifications of
the draft herewith transmitted. should
your committee desire such moditica-
lions in any of the details"
In estimating the cost of maintenance
of the proposed army, the War College
figured that an annual military budget
of S472,25S.746 would be required to
keep up the proposed force at a
strength of s.2s6.O2s men, including the
regulars.
In comparison to this, the staff says
the eventual military budget under the
present national defense act will be
$339.54S,000 to maintain a partly train
ed force of s26.572 national guardsmen
in addition to the regular army. or a
total of 1.137.200 men, at per capita
cost of S298.58.

LESSON FOR wILLFUL MEN

TIME chronic obstructionist often has
l. way Of snealSlng into oblivion before
the folly Of his muddling is fully proved
But the swift march Of events has
dramatically denied such a refuge to that
'little group of willful men" who sought
to prevent the armlng Of American mer'
chantmen. To the exploits of the Mon
golia and the Silvershell are added now
the Kroonand's brilliant victory over
two enemy submarines, resulting In the
sinking of one of these craft and the
flight of the other.
Unarmed, these three gallant commerce
carriers, two OF which are among the
finest and largest in our merchant ma
rine, would almost certainly have been
easy victims of U-boat piracy. That we
have been spared such a spectacle Of
helplessness is not only a cause for re
joiclng, but this good fortune should in.
spire the American people not to tolerate
congressional shillyshallying with other
vital war measures. The political Stacker
is even more dangerous than the indi.
vidual antl-conscriptionist, for the baneful
consequences of the formers actions can
be nationally fatal in scope.
As matters stand now, those twelve
particularly "willful men" are not re.
sponslble for whatever sea murders may
be committed. But their innocence is
not Of their own making. They have
other peoples patriotism to thank for 1t.

so far as these three OF the Allies are

King OF the Hellenes. Otto Of Bavaria
took the throne. The protecting nations

cessor, and It was through their inter
vention in 1898 that the island Of Crete
was delivered from Turkish rule and
added to the Greek crown. The sover-
eighty OF Belgium was absolute. The
modern Greek kingdom has been virtually
under the protection OF the three nations
that made possible its existence.

FLAG DAY

WE TALK so much Of American ideal
w ism that there are occasionally
skeptics who fear that we, have over
stated the depth OF that sentiment. Let
them read their answer today-Flag Day.
No other country the world over has
date quite like this on its national cal.
endar. Monarchies officially rejoice on
the kings or emperor's birthday. Re-
publics, and naturally our own as well,
appropriately celebrate glorious histori.
cal events that paved the road to free.
dom. But our tribute to the flag is In
stinct with pure ldealism. Symbolic OF
clear.eyed Liberty is our starry standard.
The most practical" American feels
this. This conception has been implanted
in him since earliest childhood, handed
down from generation to generation,
Deeply as we honor in his office what
ever President we have chosen, II Is not
for anything so personal that we are
ready to pour out the last measure OF
devotion and sacrifice. First Of all we
serve the flag. II this be not truly
idealism, then there is no meaning 70
that word. With Liberty waging the most
terrible Of all struggles against the
powers OF darkness, the spiritual signtf
canoe OF Flag Day becomes almost too
poignant for adequate expression.

NO VICTORY WITHOUT SOME
SACRIFICE

livery dollar lent to the Government
IL at the cost of immediate sacrifice be-
comes a national asset productive Of
something that dollars cannot buy. The
man who goes without comforts or lux
urles in order TO express HIS opinion
about the Imperial German Government
has an opinion that will have to be reck-
oned with. The man who says he would
rather give his life than live in q German
world, and then will not give $50, will
never give his life.
Such sacrifice as the going without
delicacies, ornaments, tobacco, coffee, is
little enough sacrifice to make on day
in which news dispatches tell us Of 800
Belgians who preferred TO starve TO
death rather than toll for the mer-
ciess despoilers of their land. Lucky for
us that the merciful width of the ATTAIN
tic Ocean makes 1t reasonably certain
that stay-at-homes will not go hungry.
Lucky for us that while the little back
OF the Belgian child bends like an old
peddlers under the load of fodder for the
Germans horses, that while he pales and
slckens on his miserable daily crust, we
shall still have our meats and fruits,
our tangoes and our movies, all sum-
mer. We shall not shorten the term OF
his wretchedness by ono little hour II our
hearts are not in this task to the point
Of sacrifice. We shall not save from
unnecessary death the life of one Ameri-
can soldier If we will not help shorten
the war by proving to the German people
that we are ready TO strip our wealth to
the bone to bring the disgusting Berlin
bullies to their knees.
This Liberty Loan is the biggest factor
In international politics today. Its prog
ress is watched and commented on daily
by the German newspapers. Every yell
low-streaked, self-opinionated pacifist and
pro- German in America is taunting those
friends of his who are for the war but
who have not subscribed. You yourself
prove that the war is unpopular" they
taunt, by not subscribing to your war
loan. And mark my word the loan will
fail" They know the loan will not fail,
but they are getting ready with their
retort when it succeeds. They will say,
"Ah, but the banks did it for you" It is
not necessary TO kick them out Of doors
for their traitorous talk. 1t is better to
wave a Liberty Bond in their faces and
throw their lie back into their mouths.
But the average man cannot silence
these enemies at home and dishearten
our enemies abroad without sacrifice.
And once having made 1t, once having
suffered bit for the cause, he will find
his reward in a new, stronger tie
binding him to the future of the United
States. He will face this alternative;
That either the United States will win
the war and pay him back his money
with interest or there will be no United
States left to pay him or any one else
anything.

HE PRAYED

He prayed.
There where he lay,
Blood-sodden and unkempt
As never In his young carelessness he'd
dreamt
That he could pray.
He prayed
Not that the pain should cease,
Nor yet for water in the parching heat,
Nor for deaths quick release,
Nor even for the tardy feet
OF observation-disclosures bringing aid.
He prayed;
Cast helpless on the bloody sod:
Don't trouble now, o God, for me,
But keep the boys. Go forward with
them, God q
speed the camerons TO vctory!"
The kits flashed on: well played.n he
sighed, ''well played"
