PACIFISTS REFUSE TO SEE NECESSITY OF PREPAREDNESS Those Who Can't Refuse to Let Those Who Can Do the Job MEN OF VISION: SAW: TROUBLE YEARS AGO By CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL Staff Special. Washington, D. C., April 25.—There are two orders of mind in this world —Those That Can Put 2 and 2 To- Born that way, no doubt. The principal business of Those That Can't is to sit around and de- nounce Those That Can—denounce them and block them and spoil any plans they may make for the Com- mon Good. * For some years béfore the Euro- pean:cyclone broke, all men that had any power of vision saw it gathering and knew that safety required his country to put its house of defense in some order. \ These were denoynced as tools of the profit grabbers. Such men said that the volunteer system was worn out and antiquated and if this country wanted to be able to take care of itself it must have a citizen army. {does not wish the Men That Can had thinking men that the United States could not allow autocracy, represent- ed by Germany, to become the dom- inant force in the world, and that sooner or later we must fight her. Such men were denounced as “British agents,” “war maniacs” and persons that “wanted to have our boys sent to the front to be slaught- ered.” ‘When Germany murdered the Lusi- tania passengers, when she persisted in her monstrous policy of murder, when it was plain that all attempts to reason with a mad dog would be futile, when, on January 31, she pro- claimed the savagery. she had long practiced, all thinking men said again and again that this meant war for the United States and that not a mo- ment should ‘be lost in getting ready for the inevitable. ‘Such ‘men were denounced as de- praved advocates of brute force and impenetrable by the sweet allure: ments of arbitration and the dreams of W. J. Bryan. At every stage in this progression, Those That Can't had their way. This newspaper, with others, advo- cated universal military training. Every attempt to bring congress to its senses on that subject was blocked. More than a year ago, the ‘Bismarck Tribune pointed out that the essential development of infan- try practice in the great war was the machine gun, that this country had no effective machine guns and should proceed at once to get some. Many times we urged that the army should |! be made efficient and the navy should be put in its best shape to meet the stormy days that threat- ened us.

All regularly enlisted candidates for com- mission in the officers’ reserve corps undergoing training who have not al- ready provided themselves with the prescribed uniform, will be furnished by the United States with service hat, coat and breeches, flannel. shirts, | leggins and shoes.

Such men were attacked as dream- ers and lunatics. The peace of Eu- rope was eternally fixed. There was the socialist party of Germany, which been listened to and the Men That Can't suppressed? We are caught, just as we might have known we shofld be. A few days ago we started out, a year late, to get fh a hurry some of those effective machine guns that this newspaper advocated..

The moment the war broke all men of any vision knew perfectly well that the chances were the United States would become involved in it, and begged the nation to take some steps to care for itself. All such men were denounced as agents of the armor plate trust and lamed_ and cursed: by the flounder- ings, the stupidity dnd the ignorance of the Men That Can't. They are now united with the Kais- er’s Own in this country, the Ameri- can Hindenburg brigade, the German reservists in and out of congress, to prevent the things just as necessary to our success, honor and safety as were the machine guns, the citizens army, the navy preparation and the other things advocated by the Men That Can.
