(Copyiijlit, JliltOH Ochj & Cos, 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.” Notce.
