in the league’s program that will be emphasized by Professor Taft is th" importance of adequate preparedness. On this question lie has recently taken an advanced position. "With the greatest reluctance.” he says, "I have come to the conclusion that we shotil l have compulsory military training. We are now looking over the brink of hostilities with some of the belligerent's in this war. Could we have better proof of the, need for a bodv of trained men to defend the country ’” Compulsory military training. of course, means universal training.

One-third Wcmtn. The latest argument of a man who has done very little to help womankind himself, and who is against woman suffrage, is that in a few years the country will be overrun with a superannuated women, who will be "shelved” and become charges upon the county after spending the best part of their lives in working at jobs that should be given to men.
