FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1918 -- Universal Military Training For nearly a year now we have been secing upon the streets, in the shops, in the trains, in the theater, everywhere that men congregate at all, manhood, wearing the khaki of the army or the blue of the navy. We splendid specimens of young have seen these boys blossom out into a physical perfection of which we should never have dreamed had their ways continued in the old lines. Camp life, military drill and disci- pline, the thought great duty to be discharged, the new dignity which was assumed because of the uniform and the cause in which they had enlisted to fight, have made of our boys men of the very finest type. Eyes look straight ahead or into the face of the person addressed. Feet no longer shuffle, shoulders no longer droop, chests are thrown out and the lungs filled with the fresh air which has the healthful effect of the tonic. It has become almost a habit with those who reluctantly see our boys enter into the dreadful scenes which are a part of the war to say: "If it constant of a physical only ended with the training camp, how worth while it would be!" This is precisely what would fol- low the institution of universal obli- It would end with the training camp, because gatory military training. the very fact that so great a nation as the United States stood ready to establish its rights or those of any smaller nation which was threatened, would serve as a very effective de- terrent to an over ambitious power. If the United States had been as ready for war as France, for instance, there would have been no twentieth century Armageddon, for Germany would never have under- taken the task of world subjugation had the arrayed against her had she known that she United States and ready to apply that force al- most at a day's notice. As a preventive of war universal military training would be a power- ful factor. As a health measure it would have no rival in effectiveness. We have seen men made over in a few short weeks of life under inten- sive training. We may, if we choose, see every succeeding generation en-{ | joy the same advantages without the | necessity to lay that increased] efficiency upon the altar of American ' freedom. It is in these two ele- ments of the universal training poli- cy that the strength of the argument lies. Nothing more should be neces- sary. There ought to be no doubt of the passage of the universal military training measure, the Chamberlain bill, but, unfortunately, there is. Pub- lic opinion is so indefinite that Con- | gress fears to commit itself. If Son | believe in keeping the boys fit, tell your Congressmen so.
