Facing A ‘‘Bugaboo.” Among the Bugaboos is that of ‘‘compul- sory military service.’’ three words bring shrieks tions and at least one well- known authority on the habits and structure of fishes. America and China are now al- most the only nations of conse- quence that have neglected this obvious precaution in a world so full of wars that in the last 3,400 years there have been but two epochs of untroubled — world- peace. The old professional and the. United States, have gone, passing with the Napol- eonie era.. They have been re- placed by democratic armies of compulsory and well-nigh uni- versal military service. ‘“‘Militarism’’ is a genuine ter- ror and is always coupled with the pet bugaboo of ‘‘compulsory service.’’ That this is a mistak- en-idea and that militarism is more of a state of mind than a form or system of government is shown by the. contrast be- tween the compulsory service of Germany and that of Australia In Switzer- land and Australia the army is the people and the people are the army. In Germany the Kai- ser’s ‘‘There is but. one master in this country—myself. I will tolerate no other,’’ indicates very sharply the differetice be- tween militarism~and 4 spirit of preparedness for defense. Australia’s system is worthy of careful study on the part of Americans. In 1870 all British troops were withdrawn from the Commonwealth. The first at- tempt of the Australians to: put themselves in a state of prepar- edness was in 1883 with a par- tially paid volunteer militia. At the same time a system of mili- tary training was put into the schools. It was 1893 before the system was changed to permit the training of all_the youth in the country. Kound unsatisfac- tory, this was changed in 1909 to compulsory military training. The -systen works in this way: Every Australian boy who is found to be mentally, morally and physieally fit is made a junior cadet on July 1, of his twelfth year. He is given a hat, shirt, puttees and shoes. Within the next two years he gets 90 hours of military .train- ing and becomes a senior cadet. For for years he is drilled, marched, physically trained, taught guard duty, the handling of arms and taeties. In each year he gets a minimum of four four-hour drills. And — he learns to shoot straight. At 19 years of age he is a full- fledged citizen soldier, He is sent into the reserves with his previous equipment, extra’ shirts breeches, an overcoat, sleeping cap, leggings, shoes, a kit pack, service rifle and bayonet. Until his twenty-sixth year he is call- ed up for sixteen days of service annually. On July 1 of his twenty-sixth year he is mus- ered out of ‘‘active service,’’ great American These of ‘agony from professional pacifi- cists, Carnegie Peace Founda- Yet armies, except those of England. On the Wing. Sunday was a great day at Mt. Vernon, An all day meeting was held with dinner on the ground. Two excellent sermons vere delivered but the crowning "our of the day was at three p. m., when a bible study was given by pastor Franklin LL. Stition, proving his worth as a teacher to the entire satisfaction of the congregation. At the request of the congregation he has consent- ed to give Bible studies at his place on Saturday at 8 p. m., be- fore the second and fourth Sun- days in each month, these being his regular preaching Sundays.
