WANTS ALL YOUTH
TRAINED FOR WAR
Present Conflict Would Have Ended
Long Ago Had We Been Ready,
Says New-Must Win For Our

Washington, March 25-Univer-

army that would enable America to
| protect itself amply against the
menace Of Prussianism was advocat-
F.! ed in the Senate today by Senator
| New, OF Indiana, as an amendment to
| the draft law. The Indiana Senator
argued that if America had adopted
universal training three years ago,
when it was before the Senate, and
the country, at the same time, had
made substantial industrial prep
arations." the war today would be
over.
Under Senator News amendment
all youths between the ages of 10
and p would be subject to military
training, at the discretion of the
President, this discretion to be exer-
cised so as to avoid depicting impor-
tant industries. The amendment
| will be voted on by the Senate this
by which men who attained the age
of 81 after June 5 last would be
made subject to the original draft.
Each day that passes makes it
more conspicuously apparent that
war most woefully unprepared, said
the Senator. What We are to suffer
by reason of this failure cannot be
foretold or overestimated. Had uni
versal military training been adop-
ted three years ago this country
would have been in condition to
entrance as a belligerent that we

creditable to the United States.
There would have been no collapse in
The saving in life and money would
have been beyond measure.
Had we earlier devoted our ener-
gies toward preparation for war ra-
Their than to issuing pronouncements
of terms on which we would make
peace, we would now be much nearer
the day when our voice as to terms
| would command more attention. But

will be urged that the country boys
cannot be spared from the farms.
This is at least partially met by the
discretion vested in the President as
to the time Of year and length OF
period during which they will be
called for training.
Our intention is to win this war
! for ourselves, to prepare this nation
for generations to come, to save this
democratic republic from the great
est menace of all time. To do this
our present military force would ap-
pear to be but the beginning of what
we must have. / would have the
Kaiser understand from our fixed
course that we are prepared and de-

necessary and to furnish as many
men as may be required to complete

The Soldier

He moves among his fellowmen. quiet
and straight and strong,
Ready to join the gallant host that
fights the mighty Wrong;
He doesn't feel like a hero-he is
just human boy,
With modest pride in his uniform,
and deep sustaining JOY.
He's not a part Of the conquering
horde-a vast inhuman plan;
He has not known the savage spur
that finds the brute in the man;
He's little shy and little kind
he rather breads to kill,
But he'll set his lips and sight his
gun, and go to it with will.
He wouldn't be called CRUSADER"
he wouldn't pose as a knight:
But his soul has felt the accolade of
the sacred sword Of Right;
He's springing now to the stern de-
Tense of a world whose wounds
are sore,
And there's a light in his grave
young eyes that was never there
before.
Oh, mother of his, be glad of him!
Be proud of his willing heart,
SO ready to place his life at stake,so
eager to play his part.
Be true to him, and be brave to him;
steady your signing breath;
He is yours today on the spirits
height-he is yours in life or
death.
Soldier OF ours. go out, then, with
gallant soul and gay!
Young manhood is the bravest thing
in all the world today.
Could we but fight or die with you!
The time is sad and long:
But our hearts are beating high with
you to the drum and the marching
song.

deprived Germany of her own breth-
rem. neither time nor numbers would
lead the Germans to despair of a res
toration of their lost provinces
France has proved all this in the last
half century.
For me the liberation of Europe is
the first and the necessary step toward
merely desirable as a step toward
something else. If it is achieved. if
Europe is unbound, this great human
fact will justify the sacrifices of the
last four years, and it must lead to-
ward an eventual revolution in inter-
national relations. To add sixty mil
lions to the number of free men and
women in Europe is to increase by
just this much the potential barrier to
future imperialistic ambitions of any
one race. The development of Poland.
century will automatically abolish
those German ambitions which seem
SO terrible to us, exactly as the uni
fication of Germany and of Italy put
a term to those French imperialistic
aspirations of Napoleon and Louis XIV
which troubled Europe in other days.
We have to finish the task of de-
feating Germany; this is the first duty.
We have then to redraw the map of
Europe in such fashion as to 1iberate
the subject races. to set free the sixty
millions who were to have been eter-
nal slaves of the Germans and have
been temporary victims. These things
done and rightly done, the task of
erecting the league of nations must be
undertaken, but it can be hopefully
undertaken then.

spondence of the Associated Press).-
Charges that the bolshevik forces
have executed and mutilated several
members of the Russo-allied forces
whom they captured have been borne
out by evidence of witnesses and by
the finding in the woods of mutilated
bodies. One brutally murdered was
Pirogoff. interpreter for a French de-
tachment, according to evidence in
possession of the allied intelligence
Office. After he had been induced by
Nor, the commander of the I'd Bat
talon of the Sd Petrograd (bolshevik)
Regiment, to disclose the disposition
and the number Of the allied forces on
a promise that his life would be
spared. he was put to slow death amid
the jeers and mockery of the boil
shevik soldiers.
AS regards the charge that Pirogoff
was spy. Lieut.. Novik declared: THE
company commander said that de-
tailed maps OF the roads and paths
and other important documents were
found on the prisoner. No one else
saw them and their. contents were
known to nobody"

to the point where we can free sixty
millions of slaves Their hands are
stretched out to US. their fate is in a
measure in our keeping. Age-long
tyranny has begun to crumb:e and the
masters of the old regime are on the
run. The last chain which MetterniciI
and those associated with him put upon
human liberty at Vienna is breaking.
If one could only recall now the mil
lions of men and women of the sub
ject races who have suffered and dared
aand died, maintained through all their
agonies by the hope of the coming of
the hour which has come. one could
gain a more accurate notion of the
splendid possibilities of the day in
which we live.
In other times. after wars, coalition
wars or contests between individual
nations. the prize Of the victor was Il

upon another. Today. as there draws
to it's close the greatest of all wars.
the plain opportunity is within our
grasp to reach settlement which
will go far toward making new
world war impossible. But we cannot
do this merely by international agree
ments. The holy alliance and the con-
cert of Europe are good examples of
the futility of such insurance policies.
If we do not erect strong and homo
geneouS states across the pathway u
German ambition. if we do not enable
the Poles. the Rumanians and the
Serbs to defend their own independ-
ence and thus to protect the world
against new Mitteleuropa there is
nothing in history to suggest that at
a later date the great German nation,
which will in any event survive this
war. will resume it's old worship OF
power and it's old lust for expansion.
We cannot and we should not take
German territory from Germany. This
will create new evil. Even the sug-
gestion that we should take the Ger
man fraction of SchIeswig- Holstein-
and it is by far the greater fraction
from Germany and bestow it upon
Denmark seems merest madness
Denmark could not keep it and we
should sin against our own light.
