Six persons lost their lives early today In the burning of the fashionable San Antonio Country club. Five of the victims were guests at the club which was the scene last night of several week-end parties, bringing together large number of persons prominent in social and business circles of the south west. The dead are: Mr. and Mr3. James B. Mraltball of San Antonio. Judge J. E. Webb of San Antonio. Homer Jones of San Antonio. Mrs. Mace Stewart of Galveston. Helen Cockrell, maid at the club. The flro had Its origin among buck- J ets of paint stored in the "basement of the three-story frame club house. It spread rapidly to a stairway lead ing to the first floor and communicat ed to the other two floors above. About 15 guests asleep in the building escaped, many being forced to Jump from tho second story windows. Mrs. Stewart, who was spending her first night at the club as the guest of Mrs. Cora Ogden, had escaped from the burning building, but ' with Homer Jones started back to rescue Judge Webb whose hearing was affected and who, they feared, had not been awak ened. The three were caught in the dense smoke and went to their death together. James Walthall, 45 years old, was formerly attorney general of Texas. His wife wns a bride of 12 months, for merly Miss Mary Carson of Indiana polis. Judge Webb was a prominent mem ber of tho bar. General Service Is Best. At the risk of harping continually on one Btring, we refer once more to the matter of general military service for the purpose of demonstrating its ad vantage over the so-called voluntarj system as a means of national pre paredness. We need no more forcible object les son ban the contrast between the two allies, Great Britain and France, in the present war. France, where military training Is compulsory to .all, has been the mainstay in the long and grueling warfare in the west. Great Britain which has depended mostly on volun tary enlistment, ftill makes a sorry showing on land, after twenty months of war. While the French move like a well-oiled machine, planting theli blows and warding them off like a skilled boxer, the British halt and stumble and stagger, doing the wront thing in the wrong way at the wrout time, wasting lives and treasure pro digiously and accomplishing little II any Quarter. In spite of the million or more men sent to the western front, BIngland has not been able to wrest a single vantage point from the Germans and has barely held her own Since the September fighting bei army there has been inert, apparent ly unable to take the offensive. Wen she now to launch a heavy drive, it might mean the salvation of the hard pressed French, but the Germans feai nothing in that quarter. At Gallipoli, at Saloniki. in Mesopotamia it is the same. The British soiaier has no super ior as a brave, dogged fighter, but in this war he is poorly organized, poorly munitioned, poorly led. And it is the fault of the system Under tho stress of a great conflict like this, it seems impossible to enlist organize, discipline and equip great armies. This preparation must pro ceed the conflict. France prepared, was ready and, whatever the outcome, has won greater laurels than ever be fore Great Britain, secure in her navy. neglected her land forces, depended on the volunteer in case of an emergency and she and her allies, who sorely need help from every available quarter, are suffering the inevitable "penalty. Like a fettered giant she cannot use her strength because she is not girded for conflict and she cannot spare the time and the energy needed now to prepare, for the stress is upon her. In France every man was a trained eoldler with his place in the ranks. When war came he knew he must go and he went without shirking or whim pering. One thing that helped him was the knowledge that everybody else was going he did not have to fight for tho other fellow. In England there has been a tremendous effort, with attendant us ing up of energy, in getting men into the ranks. After the first outburst and those who really burned to fight had gone and been killed; after England really saw tho seriousness of it; there came the hanging back. Glory, it ap peared was too dear to be bought at the price. True, very many did enlist, but not nearly enough, for every possible man was needed. Some did not go be cause others would not. The married men felt that single men should all go first, and the single men didn't look at it the same way. There was and still is serious dissension over the matter, with no settled policy yet agreed upon. Nominally, there is a compulsion law for single men with Ireland excepted, 'but tho government still relies on such enlistments as it can get. If tho truth wcro known, as it will be sometime, tho deplorable inefficiency of the Brit ish army system would condemn it ut terly. Bear in mind that both England and France are democracies, and that it is the system that is at fault In England, not the form of government. That com pulsory training may be carried out successfully by a republic and does not depend upon autocracy or monarchy for Its force is shown In the ca30 of France, which has indeed rivalled the famed organization of Germany. Applying these lessons to our own country, wa may observe that It is un necessary to Intensify military training as the Old World powers hava done. SUPERIOR mum POV12R ' .... .

But we do need a much greater body of men with sufficient training to become useful as soldiers iu case of war with a first power than we can pos sibly get to enlist as regulars and take tho prescribed service, or than we ran afford to pay and maintain as such. To secure them safely and surely and fair ly to all, we need a short term of gen eral military training, with a perma nent skeleton organization bo adjusted and equipped as to make use of all these men that might be required in the shortest possiblo time.
