The major front of the war now

the Paris raid and tremendous

The French war ministry an
nounced new figures placing the
dead in Mondays air raid on the
French capital area at 1876 civilians
and SO soldiers.
The wounded included 545 civil

At the same time the war min

had bombed airports and indus
trial regions around Munich and
Frankfort simultaneously with
British raids on railroad stations,
oil refneries and other industrial
objectives in the rich Ruhr region.

All the Allied raiders, who began
their retaliatory attacks late last

Additional bombings were exc

Supplementing the French an

German air bases also were at

While the Allies abandoned Dun

coupled their extensive air forays

This country is the only major
nation in the world that does not
have compulsory military service.
The main reason why we have not
had it consistently in the past is
that we have not been endangered
and indeed it was used during the
Civil and World Wars.
The defense Of the United
States is the obligation of no one
group, of no one class. 1t Is a
duty and privilege that goes
equally to rich and poor, city and
rural dweller, and upon old and
young in their various capacities
to serve 1t is the only equitable
means of insuring that all who are
physically able to do their share
will do it. 1t is the only method
of preventing injustice and favor
itism. 1t is the only way of raising
peoples army to defend a peo-
ple's democracy.
Democracy must evenly distrl-
butte among citizens of all classes
the privileges that enable men to
enjoy life, liberty and happiness.
But these privileges are not self
sustaining. The burden Of maint-
enance is likewise a responsibility
of all classes. All must defend
freedom when it is threatened.
This is not a war program.
Rather, it is the only valid IN
surance of continued peace in the
| Western Hemisphere.
The only sound and adequate
program is selective compulsory
military training as outlined IN
the Burke e-Wadsworth bill. Under
its provisions, all male citizens be-
! tween the ages of Is and 90 would
be enrolled, forming vast reser-
voir of personnel from which selec-
tions for training and service and
| for the Home Guard could be made
at the direction of the President
and the War and Navy Depart
m ents, subject to appropriations
made by the Congress.
The system is flexible, and 1t is
emphasized that there is no In
tention or possibility of the mil
lions of men in the age groups
listed being called out for training
simultaneously, thereby throwing
out of gear the productive and
| business forces of the nation.
The opposite is nearer the facts.
Groups would be chosen by lot in
accordance with the expansion OF
the military and naval plant. Selec'
ton would be used in the assign
ment of each person called, ana
he would be trained for the job to
which he is best fitted. Those
needed more in industry or agri'
culture than in the combat forces
would Ra classified, while the
physically unfit would be exempt
Every possible provision has
heen made TO PREVENT ANY
SERIOUS DISLOCATION OF THE
NORMAL LIFE OF THE MA
| TION, although in its basic plan
for a unified defense structure
the bill is more comprehensive
than the Selective Service Act OF
| May IS, 1917.

fairs is being sought by every safe
ty agency in the United States,
some means of stopping this
slaughter on our highways, that
takes more lives each year than
was lost by our country in the
World War.
The Highway Engineer has Civ
en- US better roads, eliminated bad
curves, blind spots and other haz-
ards from the road. He has placed
signs indicating speed limits that
are safe and giving other informa-
ton for those unacquainted with
the road.
The legislature has passed laws
regulating traffic under various
conditions and has placed penalties
for violation of these laws. Oper-
ators have been licensed, being re-
quired TO pass physical and mental
tests. The laws enforcing bodies,
the Highway Patrol, Sheriff's force
and the police are empowered with
the execution of these laws.
The Police, Justice and Superior
Courts are the interpreters of the
law, and last but not least is the
great American public whose att1-
tude toward the law, its enforce
ment and Interpretation, either
makes or mars the effects of the
official who is trying to enforce 1t.
The results obtained during the
past year were far from satisfac-
tory, nor will they ever be until
there is a closer cooperation be-
tween the law enforcing bodies
the public and the courts.
Realizing, as everyone does, thai
