WITH THE EDITORS.
NO DANGER IN MILITARY TRAINING

Secretary Bakers opposition to universal mill
tary training is based on fear lest it make our nat.
ional temper militaristic. 1t is likely. as well, that
the secretary harbOrs the ancient prejudice of our
race against a standing army, lest it be used by I'm.
scrupulous ambition to subvert our liberties. Fears
like these, if justified in the past, now are mere sup
erstitions.
The standing army that our forefathers in the
Cololles knew, was the small professional army in
the pay of the crown. With such armies the wars,
commonly dynastic, of the Seventeenth and Eigh-
teenth Centuries were waged. .........
The monarchies were built on the ruins of the fcu-
dial system. The professional army was the instru-
ment Of the king, first to reduce his great mobiles to
s,lhservience. and then to reduce the people. The
English people early secured their liberties by gett-
ing rid Of the Crowns professional army, and our
Colonists inherited the English prejudice.
But the national army is not a standing profession
al army. It's soldiers are citizens serving a period
comparatively brief, and they are never set apart as
a class, and they are not at the command of design
ing politicians. Besides the designing politician who
aspircs to become military dictator never did thrive
in Anglo-Saxon lands and is extinct even in France.
Power today is political and doesn't WELD the sword.
The militaristic spirit may be fostered by a nat
ional army on the German model. But the pecul-
iarity of the German national army is that it re-
mains as much the instrument Of the Throne as was
once the professional army of the Pr1ssian King.
The army of Germany is still the monarch's servant.
1t is differed by members of a caste, it's oath of al
legiance is a personal one made to the Kaiser.
Whereas the French national army is merely the
people modified and in arms. If some years ago it
seemed possible to use the army for revolution, nei-
Their Marshal MacMahonn nor Bcncral Boulanger was
able so to use the army. TO ascribe militaristic spirit
to the French people today on account of their uni
versa] military training is preposterous. The French
national army is devised to defend France, and
events have proved that France sorely needed de
Tending.
England is finding that her new national army for
wards characterization. Great land owners like Lord
Londowne dread the continuance of that army. When
that army returns home, the liberties Of the people
will not be imperiled, but the privileges Of the arts
tocracy will.
Military training for every youth in the land
would certainly have a vast educative effect. It would
increase the National consciousness as, perhaps, moth
ing else can. Each generation would realize that
the Nation is a reality to which is the first duty

LET EN- MAKE THE MOST OF 1T

Comes now Governor Edge, of New Jersey, a rel
alive of Garfield the Goat, and deposeth as follows
"Nothing could provide more encouragement to
the enemy than the mere announcement of this Coal
lcss) order"
Something depends upon how the enemy looks at
the order. The enemy knows that we cannot put
troops in Europe without coaling ships. The enemy
knows, that, for weeks past, hundreds of ships load
ed with food, fuel and munitions for the allies, have
been stuck in Atlantic ports because they hadn't
coal. Uncle Sam is so eager to fight the enemy where
it will do him the most harm, and as that will do him
the most harm, he suspends all save the coaling bust
ness, for a time. 1t is as if Uncle had taken off his
coat, vest and shirt and tied his suspenders around
his waist, in order to make the dangest best fight
he knows how. Encouragement? If we were the
enemy we'd begin to believe that Uncle Sam meant
bloody business aimed straight at us.

Washington. Jan. 2o.-In a dra
matte three hour speech to the senate
today, Senator Chamberlain, chair
mar of the military committee. re
piled to President Wilson'S statement
that he had distorted the facts in
charging that he had broken down in
its war preparations. He declared
the president grossly maligned him,
and not only defended. but emphati'
cally reiterated, his assertions made
in a recent address at New York. He
said the president did not know the
truth, and that he die.
No Personal Rancor
The senator disclaimed any person
al rancor against either the president
or Secretary Baker, saying his only
motives were patriotic, to rouse the
country and 10 speed up the wal by
wiping out incff!ciency. In support
of his position he cited numerous in
cidents of altered ineficiency in on
nection with army ordnance, clothing
supplies and sanitation brought out
during the military committees war
inquiry.
Senators and representatives crowd
ed the floor. and the galleries we're
packed as Senator Chamberlain spoke.
He began quietly. declaring it was
with a feeling of sadness that he
found it necessary to rise to a ques-
ton of personal privilege to defend
lis veracity and integrity, heretofore
~unassailed. but as he launched into
the speech he grew emphatic and at
times vehement.
Senator Kirby Replied.
When the Oregon senator %conclud-
ed Senator Kirby, a member of the
military cimmittee replied on kSalf
of the administration, fatty contradic-
ling the chairman's assertion that
facts brought out in the investigation
proved the war department inefficient.
Then the senate adjourned until Mon
day to cut off further discussion.
No White House Comment.
There was no comment at the white
house, on the Chamberlain speech. 1t
is known, however, that administra-
ton replies are to be made soon by
Senator James in the senate and ReD-
r%esentative Dent Of Alabama, chair
man of the military committee. and
representative Glas of Virginia, in
the house. Secretary Baker probably
will make his own answer Saturday,
when he appears before the house
committee. Representative Dent call
ed at the department late today and
invited him to make a statement to
the committee.
Bill Referred.
The senate committees bill for a
war cabinet, about which the contro-
versy centers. was referred without
objection today to the committee. The
understanding is that it also will be
referred to the naval committee later.
Senator Chamberlain detailed in his
speech what he declared was proof of

army inefiiciency. He asserted that
not only was the president ignorant
,of the truth about conditions, but
that Secretary Baker also was mis-
led, challenging the senate and the
country to inquire and then deny his
assertions. Despite the presidents
opposition, he declared the commit
tees army investigation would pro.
coed and the committee plans to re.
sumo its inquiry tomorrow by calling
Surgeon General Gorgas to testify re-
garding health conditions.
Clothing Shortages
A chart blazed on reports from all
army camps and showing only minor
clothing shortages existing Jan. 49,,
was sent by Secretary Baker to the
senate military committee today soon
after Chairman Chamberlain made his
speech in the senate replying to
President Wilson's denunciation of
his criticism of the war department.
In his speech Senator Chamberlain
referred to a chart of conditions on
Jan. !, recording many deficiencies
which the later reports show no long
er exist.
u: Baker Responds.
Secretary Baker said no statement
would be issued in answer to Senator
Chamberlain's charges, remarking,
"the wal department is in the unfort-
innate position Of being unable to
speak about certain things" He did
comment, however, on several feat
ures of the speech.
In connection with a letter read by
Senator Chamberlain telling of the
death of. a soldier under narrowing
circumstances at one of the camps, he
said several similar isolated cases had
been called to his attention, and that
every precaution possible to prevent
recurrence had been taken.
Camp Site Selection.
AS to the assertion that the Sur
geor-General was not consulted in the
selection of camp sites, Mr.. Baker
said every site had been selected by
a board consisting Of one medical Of
ficer, one engineer officer and III
line officer, appointed by the depart
mental commanders. In only one
case was the suita bility of the site
questioned on sanitary grounds, he
added, Surgeon-General Gorgas vas
then requested to send a specially \el-
ected s%anitarian to look into the ques-
ton and the recommendation of that
officer was followed.

less than an open assault on these splendid patriotic
organizations; that it indicated hostility on the part
OF the league to these organizations, and that it
would be so construed by league members the state
over, who would henceforth regard these organiza-
tons and their agents as enemies of the league and
who would be hostile to them. The resolution will

cussion in order that Mr.. Peterson and league mem
bers generally may know what patriotic citizens
think Of this form Of propaganda.
The league so well knows that it's leaders are on
the defensive whenever patriotism is made an issue
that it is desperately endeayoring to convince the
public that attacks on ToWnley and others who have
richly merlted criticism are attacks on the people of
North Dakota. The rank and file Of the league are
becoming thoroughly sick Of such trickery; they
know as well as anyone in the state that attacks on
the loyalty and patriotism of their leaders have been
justified; they no more approve of the course taken
by ToWnley and Governor Frazier in the st. Paul
convention than do any other loyal and patriotic
