CHICAGO HRANCHES IN'ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES ARE YOU PREPARED? “Preparedness’ is the most talked of subject in the United States to- day. The present congress apparently is disposed to pass legislation intend- ed to put the United States perman- ently in a position to defend itself successfully against possible inva- sion by a first-class power. Yet are you, Mr. and Mrs. Citizen, able to talk on the subject in an in- telligent manner? Believing that a series of articles on ‘“preparedness” and on plans of other countries would be of interest to the readers of the Daily Pioneer, we have secured a series of articles which were published in the Spokane Spokesman-Review, through Victor F. Lawson of the Chicago Daily News. This is the first time in a genera- tion that public sentiment has been awakened to the mneed of defense sufficiently to justify action by con- gress along broad lines. This con- dition of the public mind is, of course, based on lessons taught by the war in Europe. After that war ends interest in ‘“preparedness” will im- mediately begin to wane and in a few years public attention will be centered on other questions, and the opportunity for effective legislation for a defensive program will be lost. Hence it is highly important that the action of this congress be on a plan, the success-of which is certain. ‘While the proposed program for en- larging the navy, increasing the coast defenses and providing ammu- nition supplies is generally approved, the plan-for'a continental army, which promises on paper to furnish eight hundred thousand trained men, is questioned by many of our lead- ing military authorities, because it is dependent on volunteers. It is thought by these authorities that after the- excitement due to the present war has passed the number of these volunteers will fall off from year to year, with a result that in five or six years we shall not be much better off than we are now. For this reason a system of universal, compulsory military training, similar to the Swiss or Australian system, of- fers many advantages. These ad- vantages will be pointed out in the articles to be published in the Daily Pioneer. An important point is that such a system once adopted will automatic- ally accomplish a permanent public sentiment in favor of the continuance and maintenance of an adequate naval and coast defenseé policy with the necessary ammunition supply. This would be the case because several million young men would be in training, or have had this training, and each-of them would be of the do- ings of congress along these lines. Those far-seeing and patriotic members +of congress who: made it their business to work for a continu- ing policy: of adequate preparedness in ships, fortifications and ammuni- tion would>have the active backing of these ‘million voters in all parts of the country who want to be ade- quately supported and'supplied with ammunition if called out to fight an invader.

(From the Spokane Spokesman- Review.) With a population of only 4,- 000,000: the little Swissi republic has a non-militaristic system of national defense that commands the respect and admiration of the world. If men- aced by invasion (the Swiss constitu- tion prohibits wars of aggression) the republic can call 200,000 trained men to the colors in two days; and in a week 300,000 more. ““So many allusions are made to this excellent system,” said Dr. Hen- ry Ferguson in a recent public ad- dress which has just been published by Dr. Drury, rector of St. Paul’s school for boys at Concord, N. H., “that it is well to understand ex- plicitly what that system is. It is as simple as it is admirable, com- bining the earliest training with the rudiments of elementary compulsory education, and keeping the adult cit- izen in readiness for service without serious burden. “Every schoolboy is taught that his country has a claim upon his services in her defense, and is care- fully trained by athletic exercises, approved of and directed by the gov- ernment, -that fit him to use his growing strength to the greatest ad- vantage. Athletic Training in Schools. “These exercises are not of the nature of a military drill, but fur- nish a progressive training, begin- ning when the boys are quite young, and continuing through their school life. They not only lead to a sym- metrical and careful development of the individuals, but also accustem the children to the common action, under skilled direction, fitting them to fall in readily with the later tech- nical military instruction when the time shall come for it. “The great value of this training of the children by the government is that it co-ordinates the school with the subsequent camps of instruetion, so that all public energies are di- rected to a common advantage. “When the boys become young men, rifle shooting is most carefully encouraged, and clubs, societies and associations formed to practice this are offered by the federal govern- ment, by the various cantons (corre- sponding to our state governments), by the municipalities and the com- munes, and the young Swiss is taught, as our ancestors were in colonial days, to shoot straight, to speak the truth and to keep his body under subjection. Become Recruits at Twenty. “‘Once in every year the men of 20 years of age are called upon by their several cantons to meet in a central place in each canton and take a series of tests with the object of ascertaining whether they are phys- ically and mentally able to - serve Dwight D.

Prizes|- their country: “The recritits are then..-sent training ‘camps, where they receive from sixty to ‘ninety days’ instruc- | tion, according to the branch ot the{: service they are thought qualified-to enter. | “‘After this, for ‘elevén-yeats, froms the age of 21 to 32, the’ recrutt*is called out for eleven. days-in the.year to refresh his trainingy and then he is transferred from the elite to the lanidwehr or first reserve. He serves in this for’twelve-yearsslonger, be- ing called into the field only in al- ternate years, and then for eleven days. “Then he passes into the land- sturm ‘of second reserve, until at 48 his” period of service 'is' completed. The government keeps in existence the head of the ordnance department, the general staff andthe-corps of instructors needed-for the organiza- tion. “Each soldier is given his uniform and his rifle, for the care of which he is responsible:: Cavalry' soldiers have also their horses. With these in hand mobilization is immediate. “The system has not, indeed, been tested by war, but on occasions' when mobilization: was necessary: to pre- serve the country’s neutrality, as in 1870 and at the present day, it has worked well, and the tiny country is loyally and vigorously defended by her own citizen soldiers. Ideals Before' Swiss' Youth. ““Officers are' made through merit; and are given special courses and retained in ‘active’ service for longer periods. The law permits no sol- dier to decline promotion with its added responsibilities in either the commissioned or non-commissioned grades: “Every soldier is insured against sickness,; accident or death by the -government, while - under instrue- tions, or while engaged in any mili- tary duty. “The great merit of the system,” Dr. Ferguson then adds, “lies in the very general extent of the training, with the minimum of interruption to the domestice life and individual af- fairs of the men who are trained, and -above all, in the ideal, which is con- stantly held up. before every normal Swiss boy, that the defense of his country is'a matter of his own im- mediate concern, that his country needs and claims not only his love and devotion and his pride, but also his personal bodily service.” But the great law of compensation enters in: The nation requires ser- vice and devotion, but it gives rugged benefits in return—improved phys- ique, knowledge of the laws of health, invigorated health, discipline and GHICHESTERSS S PILLS Jadicet Askyour n.-- HHeN SBED'“NMSTSHEPYWHEPF AGENTS ‘'WANTED' To sell the Poly-fon-—an attachment for farmers! telephones-whereby-hear- ing- is made easy.
