MILITARY TRAINING

1t may be that the world has gotten
enough of war and will establish some
agency to keep the peace hereafter
We have little confidence in the idea
of a league of nations combined to
prevent war and yet depending in
each emergency on the voluntary ac'
ton Of the nations composing it Such
q league would be apt to prevent little
vars only to get the stage ready for
a big one. We are confident, how
ever, that something will be done with
the hope of keeping the peace Of the
world.
It may consist merely of a limita-
ton Of ornaments, though this would
involve great difficulty. If anything is
to be done at ali we think stand
should be taken against military
training. We do not take this posi-
ton so much because of the belies
that military training fans the war
spirit and makes wars more probable,
though we believe this to be true.
We take 1t because disarmament or a
reduction of ornaments would be a
farce If there were no regulation Of
military training.
One nation might be permitted

The Philadelphia Press thinks the
United States will not play as large
q part as many people suppose in fur
nishing materials for the rebuilding
Of Europe. 1t thinks the countries
involved will furnish the greater part
of the material 1t says their man
ufacturing facilities have been greatly
increased and that there will be a
great increase in their supply of la
Dor caused by the demobilization of
their armies. OF course the labor
supply will be larger than 1t was
while the war was in progress, but
it will be vastly smaller than it was
before the war began. 1t is estimated
that, leaving the United States cut of
consideration, the war resulted in the
loss of ten million lives and that the
total of casualties would reach beyond
twenty four million. 1t is safe to say
that fifteen million Europeans OF the
most vigorous age are dead or inca
pacitated for work In proportion to
the population of Europe this would
mean the loss to the United States of
between four and five million men
either by death or being incapacitated
by wounds. We know how badly bus
mess was Handicapped by the calling
cut of the men between twenty-one
and thirty. In proportion to popula
ton Europe has permanently lost
nearly double the number between
these ages called out. The Press pro
ceeds:
. 1t is rather with the bare shelves
of Europe in the matter of general
merchandise that we may look for
very heavy trade. But this must no.
be exaggerated in the minds of the

maintain an army of say three hun
bred thousand and might carry out
this agreement in the spirit as we'll
as in the letter. Another permitted
to have an army of equal strength
would carry out its agreement not in
spirit if it trained all its male popu-
lation to be ready to fight whenever
called out. The first of these nations
would have three hundred thousand
soldiers no more. The second would
have three hundred thousand ready
and probably three million more who
could be put in the field trained for
war The nation complying with the
spirit as we'll as with the letter of
the agreement would find itself at the
one keeping the letter and violating
the spirit.
If every nation had universal train
ing every nation would have an army
measured only by its population Of
military age no matter how large an
army it nominally had If some ma
tons had universal military training
and others did not, the nations that
did not have it would be powerless in
dispute with those that had It. The
result would be limitation of arma
