There is a strong move on foot to
reorganize the national guard, and it
8 extending to Florida. While there
is less trouble in this state than in al
most any other state in the Union,
there is no telling when something
will break loose, and as the national
guard has always been the chief re-
lance of law and order when disorder
became too strong for the civil power,
The establishment of our state
troops would be prudent and praise
worthy step. The Star has interview
I'd several of Our young men who
were in Company A and finds them
willing to help get that fine company
together again. Also number of the
national army men are willing to help.
The prospect is that a company OF
$50 men could be organized in this,
Lake and Sumter counties. The Star,
as usual, is willing to help by con-
tributing space to any work that
may be entered upon. Congress should
devote little of the time it is vast
ing, in debate on things of less mo-
rnent, in legislation that would help
rebuild the national guard. The guard
has always had raw deal, both from
nation and state. and the rawest
treatment it ever had was in the sum-
mer of 1917 when the government
virtually compelled it to serve with
out either rations or pay for five or
six months until ready to muster it
pack into the national service. Moth
ing like this should ever be allowed
20 happen again.

Or four basketfuiis of these memo

SAME AS ANY OTHER STUDY

The Star is requested to state that
the National Guard Association of the
United States favors compulsory uni
versal military training of every
young man in the country capable OF
bearing arms.
As an ADEQUATE measure Of pre-
paredness, it favors compulsory mill
.ary training, just as it believes that
every boy should be taught to read
ard write. and trained to earn his own
livelihood, and render military serv
ice to the country. should the country
call.
The National Guard Association Of
the United States is opposed to any
form of compulsory military service
which unnecessarily seizes boy from
his home and those good influences
which are as necessary, in character
Building, as the technic of war which
he might be taught in professional
schools.
The association. favors that form of
universal military training which will
give to the young man in early youth
the rudiments of military educa-
ton, while at the same time he is un-
der the guidance of his mother and is
preparing for what will be to him the
real battles of life.
The question naturally arises:
What is the difference between COM
pulsory universal training and COM
pulsory universal service?
Compulsory universal training is
that form of education which will in
still into the heart of the boy, love Of
country and an ambition to become a
good citizen, ready to assume all the
obligations and to bear 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 a
member of the citizen soldiery of the
United States
Compulsory universal service
thrusts him into the regular military
household at an age when he is not
fully qualified to decide for himself
and possibly influences him. against
the wishes of his parents and against
what would be his own mature judg.
ment, to lead the life of professional
soldier with all it's temptations, anc
with the narrowing influences which
| broad men know that the soldiers life
is filled with. At the same time, il
could not in three or six months make
finished soldier out of him in the
accepted sense of the word.
