Universal Military Training.

A correspondent Of the New. York
Times observes that the enemies Of
universal military training in America
ARE those who oppose every law, not
because of any personal interest. but
because It seems to be the fashion to
do so nowadays"
This Is very silly. Every man and
woman who pays taxes. and we all
pay taxes. directly or indirectly, has
a personal interest" in this matter.
for universal military training may
not be established in this country
to pay for it must be raised by taxa
tion. All citizens have, therefore. a
direct interest in the matter, and all
who may feel that the results obtained
would not be proportionate to the cost
are justified in making an objection.
And we may say here that, II 1T Is the
fashion" to oppose new schemes in
volving the levying Of new taxes and
the expenditure Of more hundreds Of
millions of dollars of the public
money. it is good fashion. and we
hope it will continue.
Many other objections are, of course,
possible to universal military train
ing, and, aside from the great cost,
the first Is unquestionably that such
training would breed militarfstic
spirit among our people. It would do
SO; those. who argue to the contrary
are simply, deeefving themselves. 1t
is. indeed! conceivable that some time
in the future such a. policy might be
necessary: II the league Of nations
falls to pieces, II all efforts at dis
armament fail. lit the great powers
begin to arm again.. then It may be
that America must begin to educate
her young men for the next war"
But we should not do this unless It is
absolutely. necessary. and tt Is not
necessary yet.-Louisville Post (inde-
pendent).

out. and the prayer Of the govern.
ment employees II that this reliance IS
justified. :. :.
II the bonus is not granted. II by
SOME slip in the Senate or in the CON
ference this so-called extra .compen-
sation is denied, or reduced. .. very
great injustice will have been done.
The government employees cannot sub.
sist without It. The Star has re-
ceived many testimonials to this ef.
feet, numerous letters from govern.
ment employees who cannot afford to
permit their names to be presented
and who attest uniformly to the fact
that Il this bonus is denied they will
be thrown into debt and Distress. In
one Of these letters occurs the fol-
lowing significant sentence: IT can
testify to the fact that it costs me
more to live since the war than it did
during the war - -
To take the bonus away on point
of order OF on point Of economy would
be demoralizing to the government
service. It would compel many, not.
withstanding the great amount of un-
employment now prevalent; to. leave
the service in the hope Of getting bet
ter positions. 1t would force most Of
the workers materially to curtaii their
expenses and very few Of them can
put their. finger on single point Of
possible economy today. If the clerks
were asked wherein they can save
money from their family budget their
only reply would probably. be that
they: can save only by denying them
selves and their families the, actual
necessities Of life.
OF course, people always, can get
|along on less. by cutting OF the heat
and the lights and wearing clothes
until they. are ragged, and reducing
the amount of 3 food. People do it
every day, and that is what consti-
tutes the charity problem in our city,
in Washington today as elsewhefe.
But is: the government to contribute
to that condition by cutting off now
a payment. that should be regarded
as a permanent. addition to the an
Enual salary Of its workers? ~

A Republican Cabinet.

On the subject Of the cabinet Mr..
Harding said yesterday: ,..:.
/. IT am thinking all the, time Of get
ting AN Organization best fitted to
serve this country. I am d partisan.
1 believe in party government: 1 am
going to have a republican cabinet,
but no selection win be made be-
consideration for the best service Of
the country"
!. Fhe country will accept this assur-
ance and indorse this purpose. :
In the heat Of the campaign it was
charged-Gov. Cox, indeed, broadly
hinted-that. promises of patronage.
reaching as high as the cabinet. had
influenced the nomination Of Mr..
Harding. But the charge made no
impression. It went in one ear and
out the other, Mr. Hardhg's char
acter alone was sufficient to defeat it.
So it is easy to believe that Mr. Hard.
ing is solving the cabinet problem
unhampered by any convention or
campaign promises or ;obligstions Of
any kind that his search ais~ for the
right men for teamwork ~.
In the heat Of the election announce
ment-when it was :seen that. tens Of
thousands Of democrats had assisted
IN Mr.: Harding's success; 'sugges-
|tioa was thrown out that this assist
ance should be Recognised by the ap-
pointment Of at least one democrat to
a place In the cabinet. :. But the sug.
sestion was not persuasive. The bet:
Fter opinion was that; while the victory
was largely non-parfisah, the respon.
sibility Of control would be wholly
republican. and that Mr.. Harding
should proceed on that line.
The people voted In November for
"a trial OF republican policies, and Mr..
Harding and his advisers win recon-
mend such to. Congress in the belief
that If adopted they win prove Of
genuine. benefit to the country.

Crowded and Special Police
From Trenton Are Called.

Special Despatch to THE NEw YORK HERALD.
PRINCETON, Nov. All Princeton is
tense tonight on the eve of to-morrow's
gridron battle in Palmer Stadium with
Harvard. The town OF Princeton pre-
sents a scene unrivalled in the history OF
Princeton-Harvard games. Never be-
fore has there been such a tremendous
crowd. Graduate Treasurer G. r. Muir
ray reports that he has been forced to
turn away thousands because Of scarcity
of seats.
Alumni thronged Nassau street with
impromptu reunions tonight.
The total number OF spectators who
will witness the game will be near 5000.
including a thousand gatemen, ticket
handlers and ushers In 1919, which sD
to this time has held the record for a
Harvard Princeton game crowd here.
80, 900 was the largest crowd.
Forty-four special trains are sched-
uled to run into Princeton tomorrow
most OF the great influx, although 10000
automobiles are expected to do their
part.
Neither team took more than a light
workout to-day. and by 40 each coach
ing staff was satisfied to call it a day.
Condition Is thought to favor Princeton,
which team will profit by te reappear-
ance of Clarity and Lourie.
Careful arrangements have been made
to handle the crowd by local authorities.
forty special policemen being brought
here from Trenton to control the traffic.
which otherwise would reduce Nassau
street to a hopeless jam. In addition. the
entire reserves Of the local force will be
on duty.
Princeton's squad first took the sta
dium this afternoon, getting there at
2 80 and remaining for half an hour,
during which time all their kickers had
a final chance to try their efforts against
the strong wind present. Lourie's fine
spirals seem to assure his team Of good
kicking, while Vangerbig is another ex-
pert, ready to be called into action at
any time. Ken Smith, who is being held
for the time when a dropkick is wanted,
improved his eye by further practice,
and was booting the pgskin between the
bars from difficult angles Later the
men returned to University Field. where

and given some final instructions by the

The team came over from New York
this morning and later enjoyed a motor
ride TO Princeton, where the players had
the use of the Palmer Stadium for an

through its final signal drill. The Grim
<on's workout comprised a thorough re-
hearsal of the repertoire of plays planned
for the game tomorrow. and the backs
spent much time kicking with and
against the wind, which blew with vary
ing strength

afternoon did not look so rugged as Bill

CHICAGO. Nov. 4.--Victor of two In

prepared tonight to plunge again into
the big ten championship race to-mor-
row, meeting Ohio State tomorrow in
the most important game in the midwest.
Both teams have gone through the
Western Conference season without a
defeat and the game win blast the
championship aspirations OF one of the
contenders.
While chief interest centres In the
Chicago Ohio conflict, considerable in
terest also is attached to the meeting be-
tween the undefeated Iowa eleven and
Minnesota at Minneapolis. Another big
ten" battle will bring together North
western and Purdue at Lafayette, but
both of these elevens have been upset
in previous contests and little Importance
is attached to the outcome.
Illinois, beaten in three of Its Confer

at Urbana. Otherwise the "big ten"
machines will be idle as Michigan. Wis
