Daily only Sunday onl The Army of Peace. “You are citizens of a republie wholly devoted to peace.” said Presi dent Harding yestcrday to the thou sand young men from tamp Meade. where they have been training for sev- eral weeks. Their parade in Washington, and on the 1ipse, where they were reviewed by 1he commander-in-chief, was a proof of the pacific purpose of the United States, a purpose to maintain peace by being prepared for defense. Giermany attacked in 1914 because it was believed at Berlin that France was unprepared. Wars of aggression are always begun upon that basis. France had changed the basis of her training to the point where it was thought she could not withstand an as- sault. This country. though isolated, is not immune from that danger. It is not necessary to maintain a great standing army in order to be ready for defense. The great war proved that. England drew not upon her professional soldiery but upon her untrained manhood for the legions she sent to France to fight. For she was unready. When circumstances compelled the United States to enter the war it, too, was unready. Its Regular Army was small. only & very few of its younger men had had any wraining whatever. It was requisite 1¢ hurry, and much lose, much suffer- ing, much waste resuited. The President said that he was sratified that whereas last year only 11.000 men were enroiled in the train- ing camps, 28.000 had responded to the invitation this vear, but that lherel hould be 100.000 men in the camps. That would not be a large figure. Five tImes that number could profitally—to themseives and to the country—each 3 ! evide presence in the | He tried once to “bore from within” to gain control of the American Fed- eration of Labor.

Maybe this !is the “more action™ that is Let tnere be “'more action”! Soviet- ism is being practiced in all parts of the country, in the abandonment of traing by crews in the desert, in tihe burning of & railroad roundhouse in Maine, in the derailment of trains and the sleying of engine crews, in sabot- age of all sorts. There is organization at work in this. It is not haphazard crime or sporadic passion by strikera nd their sympathizers. The unions are being used as cloaks for the radi cals, in whose headquarters portraits of Trotsky and Lenin are found, with hales of bolshevik propaganda. TLet | there be “more action” i | Close the Race Game Shops! The way of the race track sar is to ba made hard in the District. The police are instructed to wage a relent- less campaign against the places where bets are taken, money fs col- lected and odds are displayed. The open shops where this game is con- ducted, flourishing despite the failure of the law heretofore, are to be closed. If the courts will not act the cases will . nevertheless be piled up higher, until the cost of bonds and lawyers' fees ac- cumulates to the point of wiping out profits. Perhaps meanwhile the courts will act. That is the program that has just been announced, to put an end. so far as the District authorities can go, to a ;conauiun that is @ burning scandal to this community. In its prosecution the police will have the best wishes and support of all law-abiding Washing- ton. In The Star last Sunday was printed an article which showed how race track gambling costs the city of New York $300,000 a day. That much money changes hands every twenty-four hours, not in legitimate trade, but in & ‘vmokcd game in which the player has a very small chance of winning. This !article set orth the elaborate mechan- iism of the game, the great number in- jvolved. the many hands that have to 1 be filled with rake-offs and profits and consequently the extremely small per- centage that is left for the few who {win. It is not a stralght game. The races are not legitimate or honest, as promised. | <2 a rule.

This country needs such training, needs the physical development that comes from driil and systematic train- ing, needs the insurance against dis- aster that comes from preparedness against attack, nceds the patrioti ~pirit that the training engenders. Fears of a warlike nation, of a vounger generation eager through military training to see the country smbroiled in conflict. are groundless. The greut war has left no taste for militarisin. no sire for ‘“‘glory™ on the battlefield. The horrible waste of that struggle has left its permanent impress upon the minds of Americans as well as Eurcpeans, and, unlikely hefore, it is practically impossible now . that the United States should ever seek an encounter for the sake of a fAght. Readiness for emergencies is not an invitation. Those men who marched here yesterday stand for that readiness rhat is the soundest precaution. the racst secure investment.

But what care the smugglers for the law? What right has this government to set bounds to personal liberty in re- spect to travel and changing residence from one country to another? The smugglers will show Uncle Sam a trick or two on that point, just as the bootleggers, with large financial re But he) great New England customs \\'hinh| - = i | turns, are showing him a trick or two about manufacturing and vending hootch. The smuggler and the bootlegger, indeed, are full brothers. They are in- spired by the same feeling. They use the same slogans: “To hell with the law! To hell with the Constitution! Give us liberty, or give us death!” ‘Well, they should not have the one —the liberty they seek—and it is not necessary to give them the other. They can be curbed without killing.

Wood's Return. In a special to The Star from Manila, pubilshed yesterday, a statement was made on the authority of Gen. Wood that, contrary to report, he does not purpose returning home at an early | day, but will continué in his present office ‘3o long as he feels that his presence is essential to the success of his program.” The time is appropriate, however, to refer again to the fine and patriotie pirit which actuated Gen. Woed in hie aceeptance of the Philippine billet, and to the equally fine spirit that @ tuated the University of Pennsylvari in accommedating ity affairs to his Philippine engagement: Tle went at a personal sacrifice in response to a for the same reason assented to his de- parturc. And for the same reason it awaits the fulfiliment of his Philippine mission. The program Gen. Wood will leave behind for the archipelago when he embarks for home covers four years. It 1s to be assumed, therefore, that his successor in the governor general- ship when he takes charge will steer by the Wood chart, and that the Fili- pino politicians who have been agitat- ing for immediate independence for the islands will govern themselves ac- cordingly. America has not either in letter or spirit broken any promise made at the time it assumed direction and control of Philipine affairs, and will not be doing so by remaining in such direc- tion and control, as seems likely, for some years to come. The flag in the islands flles for progress and oppor- tunity, and is not coming down until the time is right and ripe. ————— Universities that bar married in structors raise the question of whether the education of youth ought to be en- ‘bachelors. ————————— America can set an example to the i world by her management of an indus- trial crisis.
