Not SO. The summer apparel today
has no kinship with anything that has
preceded 1t. The tight skirt, with its
voiuminous tunic tucked under at the

been attempted once among our race.

them so that no fire would catch.

Fred.

NATIONAL GUARD Is RIGHT.

| The Iowa National Guard has pre-
scented the sane and Scr".ble view OF
military training in its Official state
ment issued to the public. The guard
is in favor Of universal training but
not Of universal military service. The
difference is in the fact that young
men can get their military training In
schools and colleges without giving
up any Of their time to serve in the
army.
The National Guard : opposed to
any form Of compulsory military
service which UNNECESSARILY seizes a
boy from his home and its good in
fuences and thrusts him into the army
at a tender and impressionable age to
learn the technique Of war which
might be learned at home. or at school
AS defined by the National Guard
the difference is that;
Compulsory universal training is
that form Of education which will IN
still in the heart of the boy love OF
country and ambition to become
good citizen, ready to assume all the
obligations and to hear all the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship; and at
the same time to teach him by duty IN
the field the fundamentals which Will
prepare him for the training which
he should then receive as member OF
the citizen soldiery of the United
States.
Compulsory military service thrusts
him into the regular military house
hold at an age he is not fully quail
fed to decide for himself; and pos
slbly influences him. against the
wishes Of his parents and against what
would he his own mature Judgment to
lead the life Of a professional soldier
with all its temptations and with the
narrowing influences which broad
men know that the soldiers life is
filed with. At the same time, it could
not in three or six months make
finished soldier out of him in the &C
Nepted sense Of the word"
In the history Of this country wars
ave occurred at intervals Of more
than fifty years. Two generations OF
men have come into action before the
| horrors OF previous wars could deter
men from engaging in another and It
will in all probability follow that ten
to fifty annual classes Of young men
will be trained for every class that is
actually called to arms. In this war
our men were ready and trained suffi-
GENTLY to fight long before our MUM
lions were ready. 1t IS only in the
maintenance of a standing army sup
plemented by very large and fully
equipped national guard that we can
always be prepared for an emergency
Both Of these organizations should be
kept in constant preparedness for
service and both will be volunteer or
sanizations. The guard should be thu
larger in numbers because It's mem
bcrs need not be removed from pro-
ductive life. The National Guard has
grasped the practical hold on our
problem Of military preparedness. The
guard gave more lives, sacrificed more
in wounded and won more battles in
this war than the regular army did
which gives 1t right to talk upon the
subject.
