The PartitiOning of Russia.2

4 GREAT new international question
then, has developed out of the stu.
alton, according to the pessimsts. The
view is frankly expressed that if Japan
goes into Siberia she will stay there; her
advance is likely to be another perfect
example of the annexatonist imperialism,
which many democrats have hoped would
be discouraged by the political results of
the war Mr.. Frank n. Simontls thus
writes:
The truth is that Russia has broken down
]ust as Turkey broke down two centuries
ago, Just as Poland broke down century
and half ago, and the consequences OF the
breakdown are again to be found in the ac-
hon Of the adjoining nations Russia is
the biggest single stretch Of European ter
rltory which has been opened to invasion
and partition since the Roman Empire fell.
and to-day Russia is in the same position
as The Roman Empire when at last it was
able 20 defend itself"

UNIVERSAL SERVICE
MAY AGAIN Be PUT
BEFORE.CONGRESS
A new tight for universal military

A new fight for universal military
training is developing in Congress.
Universal training advocates. 1t be-
came known today. have a new bill
ready to introduce at about the same
time the man-power legislation comes
out of committee in September.
An attempt to have this bill consId-
cred as an amendment to the measure
changing The selective service ages
will be made IL the least opportunity
arises
Realizing they cannot get the meas
ure considered over Administration
objections, universal training back
ers today were hopeful of securing
the tacit II not open support OF both
the President and Secretary OF War
Baker.
Universal Training.
This hope is based on the belief
that universal training is gaining IA
vor in Administration councils. One
of the most hopeful signs of this
change Of attitude. training advocates
say, is the training of 100. 900 college
men under War Department auspices.
At the same time members OF the
Military Committees of both houses
foresee the possibility that the War
Department may ask for universal
training on its own initiative by re-
questing lowering of the draft age
to nineteen.
Putting boys OF nineteen into train
Ing camps for year or more, Il was
pointed out today, would be practi-
cally adopting universal training for
the war at least, and would be re-
garded everywhere as a test for such
training In peace as well as war time
In this connection II suggested that
the War Department would ask voca-
tional training be provided in all can
comments for men under twenty-one.
Draft Age Changes.
Committee members generally ac-
cepted nineteen to forty as the ages
Baker will name in asking draft age
changes.
With the possibility of only 100, 900
men remaining in Glass / by the LIST
OF September, members OF the House
committee declared that the change
IN ages Will come barely in time to
avert the necessity of dipping into
deferred classes.
Guesses as to how high Congress
would be asked to boost army appro- |
priations ranged from SIS, ZOO. OOO, 900 |
TO SlS,OOO.oOO 900. with the majority |
choosing the higher figure. This in<i
cludes the $4,000. 900. 900 already ap-
propriated, and would cover expenses /
