Prepare for Defense

Every young man ought boost the movement

to start a military tompany, here. The backers

of this organization are not proposing a company

of militia or a unit of the National Guard. They are advocating the formation of the company

apropos of the general spirit of preparedness

that has taken possession of the American people.

The time is here when the young men of this nation must" show whether they are willing to prepare for the defense of their homes and their institutions. The call for preparedness has been sounded. Loyal Americans must respond. True no armed foe stands on bur frontier, but the reversal of conditions in Mexico and the threatening international outlook give no assurance of continued peace. No one can tell what the next few days will bring. The young men of this nation cannot stand back. Patriotic impulses must impel every loyal young man of this city to see the situation and act with the decision and willingness of a lover of his country. For almost a half century we have pledged our loyalty to the flag. Danger threatens Old Glory from the indifference shown to our lack of preparedness. If the proposed company is formed, its enrollment sheet ought be filled in double quick time. Comparatively few young men can leave Richmond long enough to attend the military training camp at Indianapolis this summer, but many of them have the time to receive the military training the company will offer.

Injured Workers Receive $8,284 More than one thousand workers in Indiana

shared in the distribution of $31,486.54 paid out

last month under the stipulations of the work

men's compensation act. The report of the com

mission shows a weekly average expenditure of $8,248.70. Out of 3,095 accidents reported in March, eighteen resulted in fatalities. The average weekly wage paid to those who were injured

was $15.59. Ten of the beneficiaries are under

sixteen years, and seventy-nine are above sixty years. The application of this law proved the death knell of the "ambulance chasers? in the legal

profession. Workmen now enjoy, the protection

of a commission which investigates accidents,

and promptly pays relief to the injured. The law

tends to pave the way for better protection of

dangerous machinery and the exercise' of great

er care on the part of the workman who is en

gaged in a hazardous occupation. Presidential Preference

Eliminating the native son candidates from Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, the partial returns from a polKof newspapers taken in these states

by the Chicago Tribune shows that Roosevelt leads Hughes as candidate to head the Republi

can : ticket. In Illinois, Sherman received 148

votes, Roosevelt 59, Hughes 23. In Indiana, Fair

banks received 84, Roosevelt 32, Hughes 19. In

Iowa, Cummings received 63, Hughes 22, Roose velt 15.

Taking a superficial view, of the situation, it seems as if the coloners hat has a pretty good chance to stay in the ring.

U S, TO REFUSE FLATLY TO WITHDRAW FORCES

WASHINGTON, April 15. The United States will not withdraw its troops from Mexico. Provisional President Carranza will be notified within tie next few days that this government will not change its announced policy to "get Villa" He will be frankly told that the pres

ent exnedititm now in Mutlra is a i

friendly one' but he also will be told that this government under no circumstances will turn over the task of capturing or killing the bandits who murdered American citizens la their homes in Columbues to Mexican troops. This was decided at todays cabinet meeting. In the absence of details of the fighting at Parral no decision was arrived as to whether Carranzs. is to be held responsible but it was decided that the official note sent to this government asking that the American troops be withdrawn shall be answered in positive terms. It Is understood that members of the

cabinet have agreed that General Pershing and his men can take care of themselves no matter what may happen. They are well armed and reenforcements are available.

Putting It to Good Use Henry Ford tried some of the pacifist theories on the Chicago 'Tribune this week when he contracted for ; a full page advertisement, cost $887.04, and that organ, devoted to sound American principles,, accepted the. advertisement, but turned the revenue over to the Navy League to help the preparedness cause. v . The action of the Tribune assures both Mr. Ford and the American people that the money will be put to good use. Preparedness needs advertising that will make the nation see its weakness and its plight. Pacifists, with more money than acumen, need a scuttle of fiery coals poured on their heads to make them see that universal peace is a dream and disarmament the forerunner of national extinction.

TRAINING COURSES NOT FOR LOAFERS

THE MILITARY TRAINING CAMP. (By Paul Comstock) A citizens training camp will be held at Ft. Benj. Harrison, en miles north of Indianapolis during the coming summer. This camp is within the jurisdiction and under the control of the central department of the, war department which territoritlly consists of the following states: Ohio, 'Michigan, . Indiana, Wisconsin. Minnesota, the Da kotas. Iowa. Missouri, Wyoming, Colorado and one post in Montana. It is hoped by the heads of the department that each of these states will be largely represented at this camp. As the name implies it is a camp at which civilians or those who have not made the army their profession and yet who may have a taste for the training, may receive instruction for a short time in the rudiments of military life. No Age Limit Fixed. While there is practically no age limit fixed , for those who wish to attend, the preference is given to those between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. The object of all military training or rather the training of troops is success in battle; the primary object of this camp is to prepare in -a preliminary way, citizens who may at some future time be called upon to bear arms for their country. It may be said that the idea is past the experimental stage and the system Of intensive training offered is such as to be the most illuminating for the time given to ft. Depending as the country does at this time largely upon the volunteer system of raising armies and past experience having Bhown the grievous inadequacy of the system, especially in the matter of securing officers, it has been thought by the heads of the war department and the army that this training, offered in time of peace, at a time of year when many men are seeking recreation hi camps and at various out-door sports would appeal to many and that advantage would be taken of.it. In-this wa; much military knowledge could be disseminated among the people, which in the course of time might be of great value to the nation. Offers Good Training. The idea is to provide a gToup of men from ! which-- needed 1 officers nis-M bp chesen. At thi3 time there

are approximately forty-eight hundred officers in the U. S. army. On some of the active fronts in the European war the average life of an officer has been twenty-three days, the figures are significant. There is probably no disagreement as to the advantage cf a few weeks in the open, under good; sanitary conditions, with wholesome diet, carefully and scientifically balanced, regular habits of physical exercise, accompanied with enough mental stimulation to promote a fine physical condition. These are some of the things to be found at such camps. If the attendance justifies the camp will be in three periods or more properly speaking there will be three successive camps. The first will open July 5th, and continue for a period of four weeks. In applying for admission one Is expected to remain for the full term of the camp although there is no legal obligation to do so;, the applicant is there at his own expense, he pays his fare to - and from the camp, pays for his food and furnishes his uniform. Of course if private business demands it he can leave for a short time to attend to urgent matters. - Tentage, bedding, arms and other equipment are furnished by the government and are the same as used by the regular army. Men Form Companies. The men are divided Into companies of about one nundred,' each company being officered by two or three commissioned officers of the regular service and a few non-commissioned officers to assist in the Instruction. Citizens attending who have had some previous experience are usually assigned as corporals to assist also as most of those attending are without any training whatever. The recruit may join any company he cares to and may choose his tent mates so far as, that arrangement can be met by the tentage on hand. ' He deposits twenty-five dollars to pay for his board and his duty begins. i- "While the writer has toot seen , the proposed routine for the coming camp it will be about as follows for the first week; this camp, by the way, will be for infantry training exclusively. ' Monday. Reveille 5:45. Assembly 5:53. V. Calisthenics 15 or 20 minutes.

Bayonet Exercise 10:30 to 11:30. Mess. Sighting Drills 2:00 to 4:00. Mess. .'.. Saturday. Same to Breakfast. School of Company 7:30 to 8:30. Trigger squeeze 9:00 to 10:00.. Manual of Arms 10:30 to 11:30. Mess. Company in Extended Order 2:00 to 4:00. Mess. In speaking of the school of the soldier Is meant those things which are taught the recruit as an individual; how to stand at attention, how to salute, how to march, the length of step in quick and double time, the carriage of the body and bead, how to face- to right and left and about; the things he must know before be can

take part in squad or other forma-! tions.

Routine Shows Progress. j The above routine will give an idea of the progressive steps; it is rapidly succeeded in the following weeks by a much broader treatment of platoon, company, battalion and perhaps regimental work in marching, outpost, advance and rear guard duty, etc. After the airding and sighting drills and trigger squeeze instruction and after the muscles have become steady the recruit comes into his own at the rifle range where he attains his ambition to fire the thing he has been carrying on his shoulder for days. There will be instruction in the matter of digging trenches and their use; the making of wire entanglements; the use of cover against hostile fire; estimating distances, working out problems in minor tactics of attack and defense, a1ove all the recruit learns as time passes the value of discipline. - As he nears the close of the camp he has acquired good muscles, an appetite has come almost vat once: he has learned more things in less time

than he has ever learned before and all of them are good for him to know. Each new thing comes easier than the last; the ultimate idea being that he should know how to obey oders, how to take care of himself in the open, to know what he has seen on a march or a scouting tour and to.be able to tell about it; he has learned to shoot; he

knows how to be comfortable with what might be considered meagre advantages indeed. He can pitch a shelter tent, pack his equipment, keep rifle and outfit clean and carry packs on his back that would have broken him three weeks earlier. He breathes slower and Is ready to do things quicker. He has made good comrades if he is the right sort, and some day he will be glad of the time he spent with it all. No Obligation Attached. Attendance at these camps involves no legal obligation to serve in the military forces of the country. It only exacts conformity to the regulations issued by the commanding officer of the camp. A glance at the routine suggests at least that the days are rather full; that is true. In addition to what is set out there are numerous lectures given in the intervals between the active periods, these are informal talks on subjects which can only be passed on briefly, yet which go to make up a lot of necessary knowledge. i After mess in the evening there will no doubt be formal lectures by some higher officers of the army from the General Staff or from the' Army Service schools. These will cover strategic and tactical questions. The student will learn much, of the military tradition of the country, military history, something of the hopes and ambitions of the army: and what a hardworking, conscientious man the army officer of today really is; all working to a well woven whole of consistent and valuable Information. Must Abide By Rules. If any one has an idea that the camps are places for loafing 'or ca-

rousing, dispell the illusion at once; if any man goes to one of these camps for either of these purposes he will be sadly disappointed; if he does not conform to the regulations he will be requested to leave. The work is hard at first for muscles that are softened by work at the counter or in the office; but in a few days thp TrmsrTns hpmmA plastic a rain and

tough and the, individual will be sur

prised at what he can stand. When taps is sounded he is ready to sleep. In the end he has covered in four short weeks what the regular soldier acquires in three times that number. He has had an inexpensive and profitable vacation. This Is not all. Every man who attends one of these camps has rendered a service to his country. We need now, and always will need, vigorous and virile men to keep us in the forefront; the breed should not be allowed to perish. Honorable Lindley M. Garrison, the recently resigned secretary of war, said a short time after he took the oath of office that one of the chief

needs of the army is that the people should knov more about it.., It . was a true saying. People Become Army. -Heretofore, , the army has been kept on the borders or in distant parts awav from the centers of dense pop

ulation, but somewhere there has been a change of heart, the army is now coming to the people. Obviously there are many things in a war ministry which cannot be, given general publicity. But the apocalypse may be at hand there is no reason for concealing the army. The army is a wonderful organizationin fact it Is the one part of our government with more efficiency to the minute than any other, with the possible exception of the navy. More science is applied in the first two years of a recruit's enlistment to make him what he should be than in the first eight years of any public school system In the country. It is well for the people to know this; it is well that they should understand' this important part of our nation's existence, and if this system of training camps is taken advantage of by the citizens, they will appreciate more certainly some of our most urgent needs.
