He FavOrs Peoples Army of
Defense for Future.
Universal Training Is Urged by
the Colonel.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 23.-To clear
UP misunderstanding purposely culti-
waited in the middle west by opponents
of Colonel Roosevelt concerning his
attitude toward universal military
service, the Wichita Beacon wrote Mr..
Roosevelt for his views He replied:
Believe in very small standing
army and in the principle of universal
training for all our young men, Let
every young man, some time between
the ages of 10 and %. have nine
months with the colors. Pick out
every candidate for noncommissioned
officers or for officers from those who
desire such positions and whose serv-
ices during the nine months showed
them to be most fitted for such posi-
tons.
Only Small Army.
"Under that system we would have
almost no standing army, certainly a
standing army no larger than ours was
at the outbreak of the war. We would
, have all our young men receive a
training which would take the physical
and moral stoop out of their Shout
ders, would make them infinitely bet
ter citizens in time of peace as regards
the state. and would so improve them
physically and mentally that they
would be more useful to themselves
and their families and more valuable
assets in the country. We could have
a great reserve army which would not
be particularly efficient for offense
but which would be, very powerful for
defense.
No Military Glass.
1T wouldNbe composed of men
voters, your sons and my sc ms and our
neighbors' sons, who would not make
| a separate militarist class but would
simply and actually be the people
| themselves. 1t would not offer the
; slightest temptation for aggression and
| it would effectively guarantee US az
| not even the wisest peace league could
/ guarantee US against all likelihood OF
foreign war and would render it abso-
| lutely certain that no nation in its
| senses would ever attack us and any
nation that did attack US could not by
| any possibility conquer U.S."

 Although these motor launches are built primarily for fast patrol work, they usually carry a serviceable gun, and in several cases have given good account of themselves in a fight. A few days ago, a German submarine sighted an American sail ing ship and attacked her Before the U-boat could do any damage, however, a watchful motor launch ap- peared and opened fire. The enemy, taken by surprise, was compelled to withdraw his attention from the American and defend himself against the tiny enemy The sailing ship escaped without sustaining any dam ed submerge under rain of shells.

An indication of the essential democracy of the British character is to be found in the good-fellowship which exists be- tween the men of the trawlers and the men of the motor launches.

Men who were amateur yachtsmen in the days of peace constitute very largely the personnel of the fleets of motor launches which have played an important part in most of the British operations in the English Channel during the past three and a half years.

 The yachtsmen who man these launches entered the paval service at the Eeginning of the war with an intimate knowledge of the waters around the British Isles. and also of the French and Belgian coastal wa ters, so that they were able to per form many important services.

He says Local No. of the Alaska Labor Union was organized at Ketchi- kan, with Robert Oliver secretary and that 1t has enrolled a large mem bership of fishermen.

From the best that I can learn all those concerned, the fishermen, | fish buyers and cannerymen are sat- isfied with the revised prices that have been fixed for fish. There are about 1 200 fishermen working out of Ketchikan, and they are meeting with success in getting good catches. Ev- erything is proceeding in orderly fashion.
 Fishermen Patriotic,
 "There is no question about the patriotism of the Alaska fishermen" continued Mr Sutherland. At the time of the dispute over the prices of fish, the Ketchikan union voted unanimously to offer the services of it's members to the United States for $1 per day per fisherman, the government to supply them with gas olne, equipment and board and take the catch"
 MT. Sutherland will leave for Cor dova on the Northwestern, and re- main there a week or so when he will return to his home at Anchor age.
