WAR TALKS
By UNCLE DAN
Number Four
Military Training Necessary for Safety
and Defense.
“Say, Uncle Dan,” said Rillie, ‘‘Jim
mie and I have been looking up about
nr In the encyclopedia at school. We
found that in the war between Ger
many and France in 1870-71, Germany
lost in killed and wounded 28,000 sol
diers while France lost about six times
as many, and besides that, she lost
every battle. We asked Professor Slo
cum why tills was. He said that the
German army was highly trained and
ably commanded, while the French
soldiers were poorly trained; and that
their war department was honey
combed with jealousy mid politics;
that the officers were not much good,
and that’s why France lost the war
and so many men. What do you think
about it, Uncle Dan?”
“Well,” said Uncle Dan, “Professor
Slocum is right. By inefficiency France
lost that war, together with two of
her best provinces—Alsace and Lor
raine—and had to pay a billion dol
lars indemnity money. France today
learned her lesson by that sad expe-.
rience, so she put in universal military
training, and as a result, her soldiers
now know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. They are losing
less men in the war than the Germans.
France also put politics out of her war
department, so that expert authority,
instead of bureaucratic stupidity, now
directs the army. The result is,
France has one of the best and most
efficient armies every assembled, and
this shows wlint thorough training and
good leaders!: : :i means in warfare.
This saved France in (his crisis, as
well as the liberties of the world.”
“As war now conducted, there Is
no place for an untrained man. A
body of 10,0‘,)0 well trained soldiers
properly handled could defeat five
times their number of raw recruits aud
do it every time with comparatively
small loss t themselves. Proper Indu
ing aloxie will reduce the death and
casualty rat' one-third of what it oth
erwise would be, aud right here i6 an
unanswerable argument for universal
military training.
“Our government has no moral right
to force her men into war service
without properly training them for it.
To do so Is s’ :;ply murder, hence the
Iraniie effort that is now being made
to give- her scldier.-: some training be
fore they' arc .-rut to tlie front. If we
are to win tlii.-. war, it will take trained
men to do. it, and it will take trained
men t > win a.iy oilier war that may
come upon us in the future. If we
must fight, i- . "v fight to win and not
to lose.”
“Tint's the s iuiT.” said Billie.
Continuing V Eton said: ‘‘Our
• government has expended about : S”UU,-
000,00(1 to put up cantonments and
'training stations in order to'tfain the
men ehlled by the selective draft,
• When these a are trained the mail
ing stations; should .be immediately
. filled with J-. ger m -n, say those in
tln-ir -niuet,- i year, to receive ' six
mouths ,o£ intensive military train
ing along tlic H ics of the Chamberlain
-bill. Tin's will be <sf immeasurable
benefit to lh••• • Individually. It will
do them more good than any other two
years of their whole life; it will make
them strong, manly, s. !i reliant, quick
to see and quick to act; it will equip
them for a sue cssful lift*. In short
it will rebuild American manhood anil
will also give tlie government a body
of trained men to draw from in case
it Is necessary to defend uur tla-g and
country. We must settle tills question
of universal military training imme
diately, otherwise these training camps
may be demolished. The adoption of
univei ul military training will bo no
tice to the world that from then on
we will be prepared to defend our
selves promptly aud efficiently, aud
this will do more to keep us out of
war in the future than anything else
we could do.
“Do you 1 1 1 i nlc, brother,” said Mi s
Graham, “that there will ever be an
other war?”
“I have no doubt about It,” said
Uncle Dan. “So long as men are
selfish, so long as nations are ambi
tious to acquire territory, so loug us
population pr.sses and demands more
room, so long as there remains a
ramble for world tr. an d long wars
will be. When the time comes that
we reach the high plane for which we
hope end dream, when all will recog
nize the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man, then, and then
only, w ill wars cease. When that day
comes doors will need no locks, banks
will need no vaults to protect their
1 reasures, but that day Is a long way
off.
“The only safe and sane plan is to
be able to defend ourselves at all
times. Therefore, every citizen should
insist that senators ami congressmen
.shall provide for universal military
irahUng, so that never again shall ita>
comirt-y nr ,-r.„n m completely un
ready as this war found us. For
tunately, in this ease, our enemy has
been held back, so we have had a few
months in which to prepare. This ud
wmtuge probably will never come
again it is however our salvation
today.
•Tieeause she was ready, Switzerland
is mi island of peace in a sea of
war Safety first is good, but safety
ulway - is better. In strength there is
safety. Vou never saw a tin can
tied to the tail of u bulldog. There
Is a reason.”
