BALDWIN OPPOSES
 MILITARY TRAINING
Ex-Governor Sees Danger Of Too
 Much MiitariSm

(Written for the American Union
 Against Militarism by Ex-Governor
 Simeon Baldwin of Connccticuo.
 In my judgment, any permanent system of universal military training and conscription would be unsuited both to the political and the social conditions existing in the United states.
 We have made our President an Of icer of immense powers. TheF are sgreat in peace; overwhelming in war. In framing our Constitution this pol icy was deliberately adopted. With states scattered over half a continent it was vital necessity to have some thing like absolute authority In ceftaln matters vested in a single execuIlVe nacistrate. He must, in the nature ot things, see that the laws of the United States are properly eAecuCeu' whether by the people in general or any particular class of the people, Ire only recognized class is that ehSaSeu in the military and naval serVlce' It is the Presidents right ana duty to carry out the legislation Of congress III rGgard to it. Against the danger oi his abusing this trust the ohV sa1e- <. uard is inpeachm ent Agalnst the uanger of bad legislation by Congress | aore is the greater and self-eXecu1lhs safeguard of a constitutional proFQslohs mat no Appropriation of money for aising and supporting armies snail De for 8 longer term than two years.
 The design of the framers Of the Constitution was to have only a small standing army, but that it should be supported by a force of militia in each JoY Jcribed by Congress. The necessities of the war of 1914-1918 have caused The virtual abolition of the State militia. Instead of it we have adopt ed. for the time being, the policy of conscription The course of events has now brought us to the point where we must determine whether to per petuate or to abandon it as part of the American system of political gov ernment s.
 Our history since the Constitution was adopted shows that it's framers were right in providing for small army and a supplementary militia, only, in time of peace; leaving con- scription to be resorted to only when necessary in time of war.
 We shall never wage wars avoWedly for conquest. For any others we can safely trust to voluntary enlistment in the armies and navies of the United States, and the State militia; to be supplem ented, in case of invasion or danger of invasion, by a temporary Conscription Act
 We have become the greatest and richest government on earth. Cam ning's statement, century ago, that England had called upon the New World to redress the balance of the Old. if but half true then, has since been acted out in the wars just closed. We have had main share, co-operat- ing again with England, in shaping the events that have, in these wars, re-made the face of Europe. Our sue cess now becomes our danger. Power begets a#constant temptation to use it. Power to dictate to other nations their course of conduct leads to a de- sire to exercise and enforce that rower. Any Conscription Act tends to cXalt the military and depress the civil authority. Safety for us does not lie that way.

LJNCOLN,s BLONDIN STORY.

When Lincoln was carrying the bur-
dens of the nation over the abyss OF
secession he appealed to his critics
to desist. He told them about Blon-
din's exploit in crossing Niagara on a
rope, and how the great multitude
stood silent and breathless while wit
Messing the event. If any one had
shook the rope, or if any number had
heckled the acrobat and cried out,
"a little more to the right, or little
more to the left" could Blondin have
carried his burden in safety across
that dangerous cataract?
Under our constitution the Presi-
dent is commander in chief Of our
army and navy with far reaching pow
,ers which are necessary for the sue
.cessful prosecution Of war.
Our president is now carrying the
>destfnies of humanity across an ocean
of blood and peril, and the man who
badgers him, and annoys him by
slanderous accusations is no friend
of this country. That statement is not
strong enough. Such man is an
enemy of this country, he is on the
border land of treason. .a

VICTORY STILL ON THE ALLIES
'' SIDE. r.

During the past week the front OF
the greatest of battles has been ex-
tended until it is now upwards OF l2O
miles in. length. The Germans are
still retreating and at some places
they have passed beyond the famous
Hindenburg line where they were able
to stop the allied drive last year.
The greatest victories of the week
have been won by the British well up
toward the northern end Of the battle
line, Mt. KENNEL, which was captur-
ed by the Germans last spring, and
for which they paid fearful price In
human lives, was easily recaptured by
the British few days ago. And Lens,
the great coal mine city, has also been
captured and is now safely occupied
by the allies. This is the city that
the Canadians fought so desperately
TO CAPTURE, and failed to capture, a
year ago last April.
One day during the past week the
British captured 10000 prisoners,
which indicates that the morale OF the
German soldiers is badly shattered.

SEND ARMY FOR THE FOOD
Thh 10 the German Method Of s.
curing Whest From the
Ukraine.

Germany counts on securing large
part of her grain supply from Rou-
mania and the Ukraine. The central
powers have reserved to themselves
the right to establish their own Or
eanization in case the Ukraine gov
eminent fails to purchase the re-
quired grain. The troops Of the Gen.
trail powers have seized the more i'm
portant grain districts and under their
protection the purchase will begin. A
German newspaper prints:
I'm well-informed mercantile CEN
teYs it is recognized that the Ukraine
government may not be able to dis
charge this task and it is. therefore,
considered we'll 10 be prepared to in
tsrfere, II necessary"
A deputy in the reichstag recently
made the following statement:
'The securing Of the promised bread
grain from the food harvest Of the
Ukraine. according to the peace treaty.
is a duty to our German people, and
II the present Ukraine government Is
itself too weak for this then we must
help ourselves by way Of military In
reference"
This is the way Germany expects to
obtain large part of her 1918 wheat
supply.

ENORMOUS CAPTURES BY ALLIED
ARMIES.

During the month and half, ending
on the 1st of the present month, the
allied armies, according to the Off
cial announcement. captured 12S,3O2
German prisoners, including 2,674 Of
ficers, and have captured during the
same period 2,069 guns, 1,734 mine
throwers, 1878 machine guns. and
quantities of munitions, supplies and
materials of all kinds. And the end
is not yet The Allies are still smash
ing on toward Berlin.
After such defeat it is hardly pos
sible for the Germans to ever again
attempt to make another drive. Their
days of conquest are probably ended,
ended not alone for this war, but for
all time to come.
