COLUMBUS, s, Ohio, June I
U.s)-Declaring that adequate
preparedness in 1917 would have
6ept the United States out Of the
World War, Homer Guck, presi
dent of the Chicago Herald and
Examiner, yesterday called upon
the rising generation to prepare
mot for war, but against war"
He spoke before a student audi.
ence in presenting the William
Randolph Hearst Rifle Trophy to
marksmen representing Ohio State
University, the winning team in
the annual Hearst rifle competi-
ton.
Guck delivered to the winning
team q message from William
Randolph Hearst, congratulating
its members for their marksman-
ship skill, and commencing mill
tary training in schools and col
legeS.
Message From Mr.. Hearst
Mr.. Hearst's message said:
"A nation like the United
States, subjected to the envy
and jealousy of a hostile and
insufficiently civilized world,
should be able to defend itself
against some outbreak Of this
latent hostility into attack. A
democratic nation does not
want . large standing army, and
the only effective alternative is
o competent citizen sOldiery.
military training for the
young men Of the nation in
schools and colleges was ia
VOred by the founders Of the
Republic, but unfortunately this
plan Is not in general opera
ton. The next best plan for
national defense is to instruct
the youth Of the land by other
means, in the rudiments Of mil
itary training.
DEVELOP MARKSMEN
"The object Of this rifle shoot
Is to make skiIIfuI marksmen out
Of as many young Americans as
possible and 50 contribute in this
Important manner toward the
defense Of the country through
an efficient citizen sOldiery.
"The trophy is being awarded,
therefore, not merely to the win
ners Of an ordinary contest Of
skill, but to young Americans
who have most effectively culti-
Vated their mental and physical
gifts toward the possible defense
= of their country In time of dan
ger.

merely to good marksmen, but
to good citizens, the young men
whose love for country leads
them to prepare for patriotic
duty. r,

America wants war, but some
have the vision to see that war
may be forced upon us and the
patriotism to prepare for war

day, heSitating to authorize a deli
cate operation which might save
the life of its SiameSe-twin sister.
She is Mrs. Wesley Click, whose
20-year-old husband is an up

by the fear that. even if the in
FAINT lives, the three-and-one-half

normally. In this belief she is
seconded by her mother, Mrs.
Wesley Weaver.
DR.. H. L. Brooks, director of
Clinic Hospital and a lifelong
friend of the young couple,
favors attempting the operation,
although a similar one, so far as
he knows, never has been per-
formed. 1t would involve Severing
a bony tissue which joins the aiv-
