WAR TALKS
By UNCLE DAN
Number Two
Jimmie Collins Tells What He Saw—
What Military Training Does
for Boys.
“Well, here we are I” exclaimed Bil
lie, presenting his chum, Jimmie Col
lins.
“Very glad to see you, Mr. Collins,”
said Uncle Dan with a smile.
“Aw,” said Billie, “Just call him
Jimmie. That’s the only name lie
knows. He’s the pitcher of our base
ball nine, and he's some pitcher, too.
Just feel of his arm.”
“Well,” said Uncle Dan, feeling,
“That’s a mighty good arm!”
“Now, boys,” said Uncle Dan, “what
do you want to talk about?”
“Well,” said Jimmie, “I was down to
Galesburg a few months ago when the
boys came home from the Mexican
border. They looked tine. Everybody
was surprised to see how straight they
stood and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud to wear the uni
form. I tell you their muscles were as
hard as nails. I heard Banker Haskett
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get a better job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you
think that’s so, Uncle Dan?”
Uncle Dan replied: “I have a
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference;
he says it pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
lie believed that six or eight months
of intensive military training would
add at least 20 per cent to a man’s

AFTER FIVE MONTHS.
The two pictures are of the same
young man. The first was taken the
day he enlisted and the second after
he had had five months’ military train
ing. His home is in North Carolina.
earning capacity, and that it was the
best investment any young man could
make.
“Billie, if you will go up to my room
and bring my small handbag, I will
let you see two photographs of the
same young man, showing what only
five months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him.”
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: “Well,
here they are. They tell their own
story and it is a mighty interesting
one. Tlie young man, before training,
has a discouraged look ; he has seen
but little of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When lie joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him in charge,
life for him took on anew meaning.
He saw a chance to do something and
be something, lie woke up. His cap
tain says he is twice the man lie was
when he joined the army. This may
be one of the extreme cases,” said
Uncle Dan. “I can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men of this nation so
much good in so short a time as a few
months of Intensive military training.
It fits a man to fight his ownTife bat
tles in tlie business world ns well ns
to defend his country and its flag.
“Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. It is com
pulsory. It is based upon the fact that
it is the duty of everyone to help de
fend Ills country; and as war Is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he Is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
untrained troops Is nearly three times
as great as it is with well-trained men

We have just finished one of the most modern and up.to dale

who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. By this plan a
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual is n stronger and
better man for the training.
“If the Chamberlain Bill for Mili
tary Training is passed by congress,
as it ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand of his congressman
and senators the passage of this
bill.”
“All right, sir, exclaimed Jimmie, we
will see Judge Brownell, Mr, Haskett,
and I’rofessor Slocum, and get them
busy.”
