An Ex-service Mans Views on Uni-
 versal Military Training
by R. s. ADAMS

Since the defeat of Universal Mill tary Training in the present Congress, there has been a disposition to con- sider the subject as one permanently settled and now to be forgotten. A more regrettable attitude could not be adopted. Never in our history has the question been of greater impor- tance. With the world in it's present state of chaos mo nation can care lessly neglect the problem of it's de- fense.
 Devoted as we are to the ideals of freedom, we should not forget that the liberty of the individual depends upon the freedom of the state. When citizens become so self-centered and intent upon their individual interests that they are unwilling to sacrifice time and personal convenience to the defense of the state-that state can not long hope to endure. Those most jealous of their nominal rights may suddenly find them lost under the domination of foreign power again st whose aggression the state, crip- pied by their selfishness was unable to protect itself.
 Even our participation in the World War might have been avoided had we maintained a well-trained citizen army. Germany would never have dared risk the addition to her enemies of nation able immediately to throw against her a million trained men. Even had we not avoided the war, we should have saved the vast amount of effort always expended when an individual or state attempts to do a task in one tenth the time that should be allotted to it.
 We pride ourselves on our wonder ful record in that war; on how our untrained boys defeated the product of military Prussia, forgetting that it was very tired product, and that for a year our Allies held the line while we gave what training we could to cur "untrained boys"-not to mention three other years that our Allies had borne the brunt of battle. We de- serve credit that we did as we'll as we did, but can we always count on a French Army, raised and trained under a system we refuse to adopt, to restrain the enemy while we mus ter our untrained boys? We are justly proud of the aptitude display ed by our citizen soldiers and officers in learning their duties and by the regulars in quickly adapting them
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-01-21

selves to the new situations of Euro pean warfare, but every well-inform- ed American knows that many lives were lost and many dollars wasted be- , cause officers and men were insuffi- ciently trained.
 Much has been said of the unfair ness of asking our youth to inter- rupt their life-work with military training. Could anything be more unfair than to ask them to go into battle comparatively untrained? The least we can do for the men who may someday be called upon to defend us, is to give them the knowledge which is their right, in order that they may have fair chance for their lives when the crisis comes. Some argue that we might better leavd it to the individual to take or refuse his train ing. Were that done, war would find us with a number of trained volun- teers, and under theI pressure of the moment, it would be these trained men who would be called. But the defense of the nation is not matter for volunteers. We are all living under the Flag, enjoying life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, mean while depending on country to pro- tect our interests. Upon us all should fall evenly the duty of the nations defense. A country which sends to war only the men of fine caliber who volunteer, loses in battle only those men, and for that unhappy land, the law of the Survival of the fittest", will be reversed.
 The opponents of Universal Train ing ask why train our young men when we already have nearly 4,000,- 900 veterans of the recent war? Ap- parently these 100000 soldiers who fought so valiently in the great war are to be rewarded by being compell ed to man the guns in any future con- flict, while thousands of slackers from that struggle and the yearly in- crement of men who reach military freedom for which others fight. But even at that it will not be many years before our youthful veterans will have passed the age for active service.
 The only practicable solution is the truly democratic Universal Training. There are those who profess to fear that such a system of training would "Prussionize" America, and point to Germany's present plight as an in stance of the certain effect of "Mili- tarism." The same people are us-
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-01-21

ually the ones to praise most highly the democratic ideals of France, who nobly sacrificed herself to protect the World from German Militarism. They overlook the fact that Republican France protected herself and the world by means of one of the most ef- ficient systems of Universal Military Training that the world has ever
 known. Another example of Mill tarism, sometimes overlooked, is the Republic of Switzerland. A more liberty-loving race than the Swiss never existed, and this little nation was able, by means of her excellent system of military training, to place on her borders a completely trained
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-01-21

army, large out of all proportion to the size of the nation ,and with it, to maintain her neutrality, while com- pletely surrounded by warning na- tions. But for this army Switzerland would today be a fellow-sufferer with Belgium, nor do we see in France or Switzerland the Prussianism which we might expect after listening to the opponent of Military Training. In Germany the army ruled the people. In France and Switzerland the people rule the army. No, patriotic Ameri- can of average intelligence really be- lieves that in our country we could ever become "Prussianized". On the contrary, the universal character of
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-01-21

the service would tend to promote a better understanding of the army by the civilian and a clearer view of it's needs, uses and limitations. The vot- CT would be in an infinitely better po- sition to intelligently control the army than he is today.
 This is not a question for politics, but for every citizen, whether he be liable for service or not, and whether or not he has son still of training age. It is no time to be swayed by petty personal interests. It is the moment for everyone clearsighted enough to see the necessity for pre- paration, everyone fairminded enough to wish the burden distributed evenly;
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-01-21

and everyone honest enough to admit his debt to his country, to do every thing in his power to prevent this country from again lapsing into in- difference and losing this opportun- ity to permanently place itself in a position either to defend it's own in- terests or to champion those ideals for which it has always stood.

Jack and Joan were brother and

upon the prim, Jack overlooking with
healthy naughtiness. Jack had been
sent to bed early, minus his tea, for
some rather greater crime than usual.
Joan, on arriving from the bath
room in the night nursery, knelt down
to say her prayers. which she con-
cluded with:
"And please, God. make Jack a
better boy, and show him how naughty
he has been"
Joan rose from her knees with a
smug expression and got into bed.
Jack slipped from his bed to his
knees as quick as thought, and
through the darkness was heard:
"And please. God, do teach Joan to
mind her own business" From Sun

WOMAN'S RIGHT ON JURY
UPHELD IN KENTUCKY.

Frankfort, KY, May II. - The ap-
plication of Adolph Mclaughlin for a
writ of habeas corpus, raising the
question of the right of women to
serve on jury, was denied by Chief
Justice Hurt, Tuesday. Mclaughlin
was sent to Jail for one year for shoot
ing and wounding by jury of which
woman was a member. Justice Hurt
said that if the Court of Appeals
which never had issued such a writ
had such a right it was only inciden'
tai to is supervisory powers as court
of review, and in this instance the ap
plication should be made to the Cir
cult Court Justice Hurt is the secont
member of the Court Of Appeals tt
deny the writ.
