Carl. you know" continued Billie, "has a very smart father who keeps him posted on the German arguments. Carl said our government was only an experiment anyway; that 1t would not last twenty years, and that 1t might burst up any old time. Jimmie asked him if Germany was so mighty goou, why they did not go back there to live"
 "Our government will go on forever, won't it, Uncle DanY
 "Now," said Uncle Dan, "you are raising a big question, and one that has troubled me for years. Our gov ernment is still in the experimental stage; in fact, it is the greatest ex- pertinent ever undertaken, and if pop ular government is to be successful, few things must be done, otherwise, to paraphrase the great Lincoln, the gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people, will perish. It is my firm conviction," said Uncle Dan, in a very impressive manner, "that if our country is to go on, as we hope and pray, we must very quickly do at least three things, and l will name them in the order of importance as it appears to me:
 "First, adopt compulsory universal military training of all young men physically fit before they reach the age of twenty years.
 'tNext, require that every foreigner who comes here to live must, within his intention of becoming an American citizen and take the necessary steps to do so, thereby from that moment, as- suming all the obligations of citizen ship of our country, and that means he must defend our flag upon equal terms with our native born, and if he is not willing to do this, he should be sent back from whence he came."
 "Thats the stuff" exclaimed Billie.
 "And, finally, enact such legislation as will make voting compulsory. Pop ular government G based upon the participation of all and the rule of the majority, and democracy cannot COnL1Duc anu DC SuCCeSSlu1 uLIeSS we live up to the spirit of the institu- ton.
 "The first step, however, is the pass ing of the Chamberlain bill for univer- sal military training. If you will get the leading citizen, and especially the editor of your paper, to write personal letters to your congressman and both senators, urging their support, it will help enormously.
 T see by the morning papers," said Uncle Dan, "that the Rotary clubs of the entire country, the livest, most eff cient organization to be found, have unanimously decided to get back of the Chamberlain bill and give it loyal and enthusiastic support. They will work with the Universal Military Training league to accomplish this im- portant piece of legislation, which will do more than anything else to make us real nation with a common view point, bring us back to sane living and teach us the patriotism of service" ]

WAR TALKS

Jimmie and a German Boy CIash- Must Do Three Things to Save
 Country.
Number Ffve

1t was warm evening, so Uncle spreading branches of the great tree that suggested the farms name of Oak Hill. Billie and Jinamie had been lay Ing for him, so Uncle Dan was cap- tured by the boys on short order.
 "Say, Uncle Dan," Billie began. "We had red-hot argument at school yes terday with Carl Newman Carl said that German schools were miles ahead of our schools and that no one could come up to the educated German. We'll, Jimmie got hot under the collar and handed 1t back to him good and plenty. Jimmie said if their education taught them to torpedo Lusitanias, sink hos pital ships, murder hundreds of wom- en and children, make slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees and commit all sorts of crimes, then we did not want that kind of about 1t, Uncle Dan? I told Jimmie you spent lot of time in Europe and knew all about schools, so give us your opinion"
 "Well," replied Uncle Dan, deliber- ately, "the German schools are very thorough; they furnish exceedingly val uable and practical instruction. The industrial training given there is prob ably the best to be found. The schools as a whole, however, in my opinion, appeal to the head only, and never to the heart. The aim and trend is to make the individual blindly submis- sive to the Prussian plan of world do- minion; they teach that it is the des- tiny of Germany to rule the world, and that to the glory and advance of Ger many, in this plan, all things must give way; that the kaiser as head of the state, can do no wrong if he carries forward the plan of world control. Some of the greatest teachers and preachers even defend and justify her heartless crushing of Belgians and the many other atrocious crimes she has committed in this war. Thank God, our American education reaches both the head and the heart. It is an edu- cation with a soul, and we must main- tain the high ideals we have fixed. In a word, in Germany, the people are taught that they exist for the govern ment, while here the government ex- ists to serve the people"
 "Just wait a minute" interrupted Billie. Say that over again slowly, so I can write it down."
 Uncle Dan, smilingly, complied.
 Billie exclaimed "Now, we will hand that nut out for Carl to crack.
