THE CRIME OF SENDING
UNFRAMED MEN TO WAR

The principal difference IN effect be-

precautionary system of organizing an
army for war is that whereas under
the former soldiers are trained in or

trained in advance. Military service
is a difficult and complicated art 1t

potent factor in determining
that there shall be no more wars.
Must Have Large Force
In order to accomplish this
we must be strong, and that
strength must be represented by
a sufficiently large force of
trained men available in case of
need. The plan of universal
military service seems by far the
best suggestion to provide our
country with a fairly mobile and
trained army at no sacrifice, but
rather to the advantage of the
conScript. II would seem that
the most satisfactory provision in
connection with legislation of
this character would be that
which would require all young
men whose physical condition
permitted, to serve in the army
for one year, between the ages of
Z and "a. This permits of en-
rollment Immediately after the
ordinary school period or imme-
diately following the normal
completion of a college course.
The advantages of n military
training under competent and
conscientious officers are not
fully appreciated by most people,
Their ideas are largely drawn
from the short period encamp-
ments, where intensive training
may be somewhat of a hardship;
but where a year may be given
to training, there will be no ply
sical distress. There will be
more diversity of service. More
time will be devoted to the
school of the soldier, where in
struction will be given on the
conduct of modern warfare.
Much more time could be en-
ployed for the setting up eXer-
cises," which have been prepared
with Il view of perfect physical Z
development; and then, too, / be-
lieve it is the thought to instil by
word and act, higher patriot
ism; to teach the wisdom of
discir""S, and obedience to law
full authority. The young man
who does not return from serv-
ice of this kind healthier in mind
and body is temperamental1y
hopeless.
We have grown so accustom-
ed to ease and comfort and self
indulgence that we are losing
that sterner and finer quality that
enabled our forefathers to es-
tablish this empire of the people.
So We need bit of hardship and
sacrifice, and dem ocratic associa -
ton; that from it all may come
not only military strength for
the nation, but a better under
standing between man and man,
a stronger interest in our COM
munity, and a deeper and more
sincere love for our country and

REV. HARRY NELSON BASSLER
PASTOR OF SECOND REFORM
ED CHURCH AND CHAPLAIN OIL
EIGHTH REGIMENT, n. G. p
WRITES:
in answer to your inquiry of
March Is, concerning military
training, 1 am free to say that
for years have looked upon
military training as one of the
great constructive forces in the
development of the qualities of
manhood in the youth of our
country. In the first place, is it
not true that the healthful in
spiration of a life in the open
will develop all that is noble and
true in a growing boy and aid his
physical well-being?
Military training under prop
er authority encourages punctu-
ality and order. 1t helps the
young man to be careful of de-
tail, and teaches exactness. He
naturally feels the burden of re-
sponsibility and becomes a lead
er. 1t develops initiative. The
youngest private when on scout
duty must be able to draw his
own conclusions and to act
promptly. AS his training ad-
vances, he learns the necessity of
a clean life. His body must be
able to withstand disease. BY
doing his duty as a private. he
learns to be able to do his duty
as an officer. Through obedience
to authority, he learns how to
exercise authority. He is taught
to be considerate, Trustworthy,
sincere and efficient Indeed,
every phase of the military life
tends to bring out originality of
thought and action.
Personally, I should favor
any legislation calling for uni
versal military training covering
a period from one to two years,
preferably at the close of the
high school course, before the
boy takes his place in the busi-
ness world or establishes him
self in a home of his own. The
discipline of such training, 1 feel,
would develop a type of man
hood of which America might
justly be proud. -
