Our Next Duty

Our next duty, duty the perfOr-
nance of which should begin at this
moment. is to introduce the policy Of
permanent preparedness. Never again
must we be caught SO utterly unprc-
pared as we have been caught this
time. For myself. personally. l hold
that there is but one efficient method.
and that is to introduce as our per-
manent national policy the principle
of basing manhood suffrage on man-
hood service: on universal service in
peace and universal service in wal,
and therefore on tie military training
Of all cur young men in time of peace

not invite war. On tie contrary il
would be the surest guarantee against

cratic of all Republics: she has imcn

although in the center Of the mael-
strom she has kept out Of this war:
and she owes her immunity from war
solely to the fact that all her citi-

IN history was given a great nation.
Yet We failed in the smallest degree
to profit by the warning, and We drift

: negligible factor in the military stu
ation for Is months. Fourteen months
have since gone by and for these II
months the facts have borne out their
prophecy. We utterly failed in our
duty to build without an hours delay
a great fleet of cargo ships. We have
put gallant little army on, the other
side. but it was a very small army
and entirely unequipped for modern
war After IA months this great and
wealthy nation has only been able TO
put in the field an army less numer
Gus than poor, wrecked Belgium or
ruined Servia has in the field, an
army but little more numerous than
Portugal has sent to the front. Nor
is this alive had to send that army
abroad absolutely unequipped with
the special weapons Of modern war
fare. No army can take the field now
adays without abundance of field ar
tillery, of authorities and of airplanes.
Yet we have not as yet been able TO
put any field guns. but a negligible
number Of auto-rifles. not any aero
planes of our own into action; and we
had only an insufficient number of
rifles and of heavy siege or fortress
guns. We have had to get from our
hard-pressed allies, from the war-torn
nations, to whose help we nominally
came. weapons with which we could
fight our own battles. We have been
able to prepare at all during the year
and a quarter that has passed only be-
cause England and France protected
rs with their ships and with the bod
les of their brave sons Even yet our
men at the front form but a tiny
fraction Of the allies army: and even
this tiny fraction can serve at the
front al all. only because our hard
pressed allies give us the weapons Of
war without which we could not wage
war at Ill. With our immense wealth
and individual energy l believe that in
spite of governmental laundering we
shall soon get into better position.
But hitherto, for nearly year and a
quarter. this has been our posi-
ton. 1t is an ignoble position.
No true American can be content to
have us hold such a position ami
least of all can he be content to haze
us attempt to cover it by untruthful

Where We Have Failed

Our failure has been due in part to
grave incompetence since Germany
forced us into war. But primarily it
is due to our utter folly in failing to
prepare during the preceding two
and a half years, when the warning
was written across the whole horizoil
in letters Of blood and Of fire. our
first business now is to put through
The war. and therefore to speed I'D the
war. Make our effort in ships, mon.

earliest possible moment. Let us real
ize the grim truth that unless. cur
men now fight triumphantlv beside
our allies. some day or other we shan
nave to fight at home. despairingly
and without allies. Our resources ire
so immense that in the end we shall
begin to count in spite of all our gov
ernmental shortcomings; but as long
as we think Of the war as 5000 miles
away, and as long as some Of the most
important divisions Of the executive
branch of the government continue
