WAR TALKS
By UNCLE DAN
Number Four
.
Military Training Necessary for Safety
and Defense.
* : Say, Uncle Dan," said Billie, "Jim
mie and I have been looking up about
war 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 this 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 and politics;
that the oflicers 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
. , .
rience, so she put in universal military
training, and as a result, her soldiers
, , . _ .
"ät sâïS!*
now know how to fight and how to
nnt&ot thnmcnimc 'r*™ lndno
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 what thorough training and
good leadership means in warfare.
This saved France in this crisis, as
well as the liberties of the world."
"As war is new conducted, there is
no place for an untrained man. A
body of 10.000 well trained soldiers
p-inerly handled could defeat five
times their number of raw recruits and
do it ('very time with comparatively
small loss to themselves. Proper train
ing alone will reduce the death and
casualty rate one-third of what it oth
erwise would be. and right here is 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 simply murder, lienee the
frantic effort that is now being made
to give her soldier- some training be
fore they are sent to the front. If we
are to win this war, it will take trained
men to do it, and it will take trained
men to win any other war that may
ec:uo upon us in the future. If we

When 'these men

filled with young
their nineteenth
mouths of intensive military train-j
ing along the lines of the Chamberlain '
bill. This will be of immeasurable
benefit to them individually. It will
do them more good than any other two j
years of their whole life ; (t will make
them strong, manly, self-reliant, quick
to see and quick to act ; It will equip
i them for a successful life. In short,
; it will rebuild American manhood and j
j will also give the government a body |
of trained men to draw from in case j
it is necessary to defend our flag and ,
country. We must settle this question j
of universal military training imme-1
diately, otherwise these training camps
may be demolished. The adoption of
universal military training will be no
tice to the world that from then on
we will be prepared to defend our
selves promptly and efficiently, and
this will do more to beep us out of
war in the future than anything else
we could do."
"Do you think, brother," said Mrs.
■ 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 long as
population presses and demands more
room, so long as there remains a
scramble for world trade—so long wars
will be. When the time comes that
we reach the high plane for which we
hope and dream, when all will recog
nize the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man, then, and then
only, will wars cease. When that day
comes doors will need no locks, banks
will need no vaults to protect their
treasures, 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 and congressmen
shall provide for universal military
training, so that never again shall the
country be caught so 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 ad
vantage probably will never come
again. It is however our salvation
today.
"Because she was ready, Switzerland
is an island of peace in a eea of
war. Safety first is good, but safety
always is better. In strength there is
safety. You never saw a tin can
tied to the tail of a bulldog. There
la a reason."

that in the future the Red Cross
