WAR ON U-BOATS SPURRED BY U. S. NAVAL STRENGTH

250 American Warshps Now m foreign Waters unity Between U. S. and England. LONDON. July 30 "There is no branch of Anglo-American activity in i which co-operation and comradeship . are more marked and more complete than in the navy," said Sir Eric Geddes. First Lord of the British Admiralty, speaking Monday at the American Luncheon club. ' "There are more than 250 American warships now based on this side," Sir Eric said, "and Mr. Roosevelt (American assistant secretary of the navy) has assured us this number will increase faster in the future than in the past. "We are glad to welcome all these additions to the allied naval strength," Sir Eric added, "because every additional ship means a more strenuous war against submarines. "Large numbers of ships are being required nowadays for the work of escorting incoming American transports. If a ship Is on escort duty it cannot be hunting and fighting submarines. So the additional American forces will mean the release of a similar number of British for intensive offensive work against U-boats." In addition to Sir Eric Geddes and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the American assistant secretary of the navy, the guests included the members of the naval committee of the American house of representatives. Mr. Roosevelt said: "I came over here with the object of learning. That is why I came across the Atlantic in a destroyer. I shall spend most of my few weeks on this side in actually seeing things be-1 ing done. I "Sir Eric Geddes and myself have visited Queenstown and we have found I 'things working there just as I had dreamed they ought to be working a keen, unified energy of British and American forces aiming at a common end. It has been a great pleasure to meet Sir Eric, to travel with him on an American destroyer and ; to find him a 'he man,' talking in our own language. "The United States owes much to the untiring work of the British navy, for it is a fact that about 40 per cent of the troopships carrying Americans to Europe are British ships and have been escorted by British men-of-war. "The United States has, I believe, at last struck its stride in naval construction and we shall deliver ships very rapidly henceforth." URGES UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING By PAUL J. LICHTENFELS The question of universal military training Is one that has been discussed a great deal throughout the country, yet it has never met with favor In Congress. Bills providing for it have been Introduced In Congress, but the congressmen have not taken any Interest in the" question. However, this does not mean that the people of Ihe United States do not want it, for many do. It does not mean either that Congress does not want the United States to be prepared, but that they think we do not need it. At present, there has been some discussion in Congress about universal military training, but nothing has been done We should have universal military training, first, because It is necessary, second because it is democratic, and third, because it has been beneficial. Universal military training is necesFary. The volunteer system is very undesirable. It has always been a failure for it does not get th men necessary to carry on the war. Many men will not volunteer when war Is declared. They say that they did not want war and therefore should not have to go. The volunteer system was a failure In the Revolution. The men would not enlist and the war was prolonged because of this. Even the few that did enlist would not relist after their terms expired. It was a failure in the Civil War for the South had to resort to conscription. Later, the North drafted. men In the army. When the call for volunteers was issued when we had trouble with Mexico, 20,000 answered the call when three times that number were needed. President Wilson did not wait to have the inefficiency of this system demonstrated again but resorted immediately to conscription. England has been a country that has always had the volunteer system, yet In this war England has resorted to conscription and Is now using that method. They are also trying to conscript the men In Ireland. The volunteer system 13 undemocratic. Many who can go and who should go will not when the call is Issued. Their places have to be filled and it Is usually done by some married men who should be at home. This would not happen under universal military training and there would be no danger of slackers escaping service. General Hugh L. Scott said, "There Is no reason why oue woman's son should go out and defend or be trained to defend another woman and her son who refuses to ake training or give service. The only democratic method Is for every man In his youth to be come trained In order that he may render efficient service if called upon in war." Conscription will raise an army easily enough. This has been demonstrated many times, but it does not get an army when we need it. It does not get an army until after war Is declared. Then it takes about a year to get an adequate army. If we should have an adversary like Germany and not have any on to fight our battles, as France and England are doing, we would have to put untrained men' on the field or spend months training them. In either case we would be defeated. Therefore, since the volunteer sys

tem is undesirable and since conscrlp- "The shaded portion of the map indicates the territory now retaken from the Germans by the allies in their great tlon Is Inadequate we must have some I counter offensive.

cratic. The opponents of universal military training say that it would make us militaristic and autocratic. They say that we would follow in the footsteps of Germany and want to conquer the world. The United States has always stood for democracy and the rights of the nations and universal training would not make us forget - Sr'l!?o "MZ universal training would make us a war-loving nation. An editorial in the Indianapolis News said. "No one but a fanatic really favors war. But to be in a position so helpless that years must pass while an army is being trained for self defense is equally fanatical. There would be no chance for one man to control the government and the army as is the case in Germany, for while the Reichstag and Budesrat have practically no power, the House of Representatives and Senate have power to put down any man who tries to get control. It is also argued that after the war is over we will have universal peace and we will not need training after the war. No one knows how the war will end and no one knows when it will end, so it cannot be argued that we will not need military training after the war is over for we do not know whether we will or not. They also argue that if we would disarm we would have universal peace and no one would want war. To carry their argument to its logical conclusion we should disband our police force on the theory that crimes would cease nd to do away with the fire department in order to prevent fires. This is absurd for as long as the evil lasts we should be prepared to fight. If we would kill every German on the earth that would not put an end to militarism and autocracy. There would be other men that would favor it and would try to conquer the world. Universal military training would be beneficial to the men who take it. It will develop their minds and make! them quick-witted, alert men. It will teach them discipline and make good citizens of them. Military authorities agree that the morale is better in arrales raised by universal training than Dv anv other method. It also revelops tneir bodies and makes them healthy and able to endure hardships. Universal training would benefit the nation. We would be respected by ! tne different countries. The reason Germany did not respect us and disregarded our rights was because she knew that we were not prepared to fight. She thought she could whip the allies before we got ready to fight. Universal training has been beneficial where is has been tried. It has been successful in Argentina. It was beneficial in France. In fact, it was all that saved France from defeat in 1914. If she had had an army like ours she would have been defeated. Japan has universal military training and it had been beneficial both to the individual and the nation. Switzerland has always had an adequate army to protect herself and she has gained the respect and admiration of the world by her system of universal military training. Therefore, since universal military training is necessary, and since it is democratic and has been beneficial, the United States should adopt it. WILLIAMSBURG, IND. Harry Stanford and wife and R. C.

British gunners changing range on big gun, above, and French gunners mounting huge gun, below. The effective work of the mammoth cannon in the skillful hands of allied gunners has been of wonderful assistance to the other branches of the armies in beating the Huns back in the Soissons-Rheims salient. The upper picture, a British official photograph, shows some of England's gunners stripped to the waist under a boiling sun, shifting a six-inch howitzer, while shelling a Germaji pos.tion and giving their men and the American infantry a chance to land another telling blow. The lower photo shows French artillerists mounting a field piece, the type which has been used to great advantage in hurling big shells at the retreating enemy. The French, despite the apparent rugged nature of the country, have little trouble moving the mammoth guns.
