AN ARMY OF THE PEOPLE
Colonel Roosevelt Outlines His Uni
yersal Training Plan

To clear up misunderstanding pur-
posely cultivated in the Middle West
by opponents of Colonel Roosevelt con-
corning his attitude toward universal
military service, Mr.. Roosevelt recent
ly stated his views as follows:
Believe in a small standing army
and in the principle of universal train
ing for all our young men. Let the
ages of 10 and %, have nine months
with the colors. Pick out every candi-
date for noncommissioned officers or
for officers from those who desire
such positions and whose services dur
ing the nine months showed them to
be most fitted for such positions.
"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
shoulders, would make them infinitely
better citizens in time of peace as re-
CARDS the state, and would so improve
them physically and mentally that
they would be more useful to them
selves and their families and more val /
liable assets in the country. We could
have a great reserve army which /
would not be particularly efficient for
but would be very powerful
for defense. 1t would be composed of
men voters, your sons, and my sons
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 aggres-
sion and it would effectively guaran-
tee US as not even the wisest peace
league could guarantee US against
all likelihood of foreign war and would
render it absolutely certain that no
nation in its right senses would ever
attack US and any nation that did at
tack US could not by any possibility
conquer u.s.

The Dumb Heroes of Sedan

For nearly half century Sedan
had stood for military humiliation to
the uttermost degree, for it was Sep
TENDER 1, 1870, in the Franco-Prus-
sian War, that the French under Mar
shall MacMahon were defeated by the
Prussian Army, with 1900 casualties
and the loss of $4,000 prisoners, in
Guiding Emperor Napoleon III, by
capitalization. France could forget all
else-it could sooner forget the tear
ing of Alsac-Lorraine from the moth
erland-but Sedan was scared into the
soul of the nation.
So if any one spectacular feat were
necessary to endear America to the
French people, it was that the Yankee
Army should take Sedan from the
German forces few hours before the
armistice ending the world war was
signed November II, 1918. America
obliterated the stain upon French
arms, and for that fact France per-
haps is grateful as it will be for the
return of the Lost Sister" after the
peace congress has been written into
history.
But there is another memory of Sc
dan, less narrowing if equally pathetic
1t is the story of the "Riderless
Steeds," which an anonymous poet
told in verse after the war of 1901
had ended. A predatory note explain
ed:
"A newspaper correspondent relates
that on the morning after the terrible
Battle of Sedan six hundred cavalry
horses, without riders, galloped up at
the sound of the bugles and took their
places in the French ranks"
The story was referred to in Harper's
Weekly for December "a, 1870, which
said of the horses remarkable per-
Torrance:
"They were jaded, and in many
cases MANNED; but they had wandered
about in alright till they heard the
familiar sound, which their discipline
made them obey"
Harper's Weekly quoted Lieutenant
Colonel Pemberton:
"Only those who have seen battle
field can form notion of the extra
ordinary way in which the horses, as
long as they have a leg to crawl on,
will follow regiment to which they
belong. saw what evidently had
been sergeant's horses keeping their
position in the rear Of their squadron
with it and hating exactly
and all the time streaming with blood
as if their riders were on their backs,
Poor creatures, they are indeed to be
pitied, for they have neither country,
promotion nor coveted medal to think
Of, whatever may be the issue; and
few indeed there are that have not
some honorable scars to show"
