(Special to the Herald). ‘Washington, ril 25.—Sepator sGeorge P. McLean indelibly stamped the seal of his approval on the uni- vérsal ‘military training plan in a thrilling speech yesterday. During the course of his remarks he com- pared thé policy of the kaiser with the creed of the Devil in respect to the insistence of the German autoc- Tacy to expand itself geographically. The speech was one of the most ring- .ing that has been made either in sup- hort or disapproval of uniyersal train- ,Scnutor Mclean's address in follows: "“I do ‘not believe there is a mem- ber of this body Wwhose| dread of war is more profound than' mine, and it is precisely Decause I want peace above everything else in the, world that I ghall vote for universal military * training and service.

Cause and Case That of Belgium. “Our case is that of Belgium :.n) our cause is the same. It is a cause as old as justice—a cause for which every liberty-loving Teuton as well as Saxon has fought for more than fif- teen centuries—and the fact now is that the atrocious methods adopted by the armies of the Central Powers have brought down upon the heads of those responsible the rightedus in- dignation of the whole world. “In my opinion our position as a maton is unassailable. The heart and conscience of the great mass and body of the German people bitterly op- posed the leadership that started the war. Anyone’ who will look at the Record of the last week of July, 1914, will find abundant 'corroboration of this statement. I'have here some edi- torial comments from the great 1ib- eral German paper, the ‘Vorwaerts," ‘which throw a very bright light on the present situation. I will read them. “On July 26th, 1914, the ‘Vorwaerts’ said editorially: ‘War fury unre- strained by American Imperialism is setting out to bring death and de- struction to the whole of Europe.’ Four days later, on July 29th, it denounced the German Foreign Office for not accepting England's media- 1193 proposal, ‘in the following lang- ‘uage: ‘The comarilla of war lords is working with absolutely unscrupul- ous means to carry out their fearful designs to perpetrate an intesnation- al war, and to start a warld w‘de fire to devastate Europe.’ “On July 31st, when it was evident that nothing could stay the guilty Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs in their lust for war, the ‘Vorwaerts’ declared that the German government Wwas ‘utterly without conscience.’ More- over, mass meetings were held in’ the great cities throughout the empire protesting against the insane andi brutal course of the government. In Berlin alone, 6n the 28th of July, twenty-elght mass meetings were held. At one of them there were more than 70,000 men in attendance. TheSe were spontaneous meetings, called for the purpose of registering the protest af the German people against tife ‘crime that the German rulers Were about to commit,’ “A few Vyears ago the master of Germany declared our Monroe Doc- frine to be a plece of ‘incredible im- pertinence,, More recently Herr Bernhardi and Chancellor Bethmann- Hollweg stated the Imperial German world . policy in the fallowing lan- guage: ‘Necessity knows no law. The jpjustices we thus commit (in Belgium) we will repair as soon as our military object has been ob- tained,’ and that object is to ‘expand our frontiers for the accommodation of our surplus population.’ The Kaiser and the Devil. “In carrying out this plan the Cen- tral Powers have filled the world with spies and lies. They have maimed, murdered, robbed, raped, burned, and buried Christian men and women, for the express purpose of stealing thotr land. This is the Kultur of the German war lords and \the creed of His Satanic Majesty. “The Central Powers overlook the fact that the natural law of evolution y which in the absence of reason, de- crees the survival of the brutally fit, YOUR OWN PAINT & M SEMI-PASTE PAINT and your own Linseed OIil.

H.C, THOMPS ON, Plainville “BRISTOL HD WE CO., Bristol NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, deals with one individual at a time | and with individuals only. Co-opera- tion and respect for the rights of others make nations possible, and the time has come when international co- operation has been necessary for the peace and prosperity of a nation. The marvelous economic advances of | the last century have:obliterated na- tional boundaries except for politi- cal purposes. Commercial evolution is already international; moral and in- tellectual evolutian and growth are international. “More.than a century ago that great German, Emmanuel Kent, said that the worid would never have peace until the nations of the world could politically organize to enforce peace. «But in these days, when international co-operation in politics is suggested, We are told by our statesmen that it would mean entangling alliances and the historic advices 'of Washington in this regard is quoted as concluding the argument. ‘We hear, too, the thoughtless exclamations, ‘Human na- ture is always the same! men always have fought and they always will!® etc., eto. \ “I have great reunect for the advice given us by the Father of Iis Country, but Washington did not hesi- tate to enter into an alliance with France, and this great man once sald: ‘Mankind, when left to themselves, | are unfit for government.’ We must have more courage than this today. The instant we admit that the inter- national mind should be a reasonable mind gll our fears vanish, There are as many kinds of human nature as there are human heings, and all of them are comstantly changing and most of them are changing for ‘the better. It is true that they all swing on_the pivot of selfishness and prob- ably always will, and for this .very reason international peace is possible. It everybody is on the make and ag- gressive war does not pay gnybody, co-operation in the iInterests of peace is the only thing possible with reason- able beings. *It is our business now to help stem the tide of barbarism until sanity is, restored to Central Europe. “But patriotic declgmations and declarations will not do' this. Appro- priations or money do nat win battles. Fortunately.-for us, the British fleet, up to date,ehas kept the devastating hordes of Central Europe from our shores, but it will be criminal neglect for us to ignore the possibility qf at- tack. The sea, instead of protecting us against the enemy, as has hereto- fore been the case, may now be used to hide and conceal hostile ships and permit them to select their point of gttack without lat or hindrance. Soldiers Needed, as Well as Talkers. “We do not want to back into this war with the idea that we can get out morg easily. We must make common cause with those who are fighting our enemies. 'We must expect,to see it through and we must expect our allies to stand by until the end. We must give and receive assurances that will, permit no misunderstanding in this regard. But to do this we may need soldiers as well “as talkers, and soldiers enough to insure victory now and freedom from attack in the future, “‘Soldiering is a hazardous occupa- tion at the best, and soldiers untrained and unequipped are worse than use- less. If we must fight we must win, and we cannot expect to da this if we send our young men into the field un- fitted for the work to be done. Tt seems to me very clear that the more men we train the surer will be the ultimate victory and the longer the succeeding peace. I can see no danger in strength in a just cause. Weakness is always powerless for ad. “Now it is clear to me that univer-| sal military training is the first step necessary if reason is to win the vic- tory over cruelty and greed. When the right ceases to resist it ceases to exist. We do not fear the skilled sur- geon, though he deals with deadly weapons. We welcome him into our community because he is a protection against death and disease. Why should we fear military skill if we are sure of its purpose = We should let it be known that our goal is interna- tional peace based upon justice to all men. No more wars of conquest, but constant wars against it, if need be. “It is not many years since England was the ally of Turkey and her pur- pose was to prevent Russian aggres- sion. Twenty years ago our states- men were warnng us against the Rus. sian advance—the Slavic peril. Ten years ago it was the Yellow Peril, in- spired by Germany. Russia and China are now democracies, the last thing on earth that our statesmen ex- pected and the best possible thing foF the peace of the world. Within a fortnight after Russia rid herself of ridiculous and dangerous czardom she told the nations of the earth that she stood squarely against aggression. She did not want Constantinople. She wanted peace and justice to all men and she would fight for that to the last man, and nothing else. “The unselfish course we have taken in world politics has compeclled the admiration of other nations, and if we remain loyal to that course the gther nations must follow our example! Our remission of the Chinese indemnity, our freedom of Cuba and the Phil- ippines, a work of pure philanthropy unequalled in the history of the world, Mr. Blaine’s efforts in 1890 to secure the consent of the Latin Amer- fean countries to eliminate the right to” title by conquest from th re national laws of the Western Hemis- phere, and our consistent forbear- ance with weak and semi-civilized states, arc things to be proud of. If, however, the square deal for nations a3 well as men is to be our watchword, there must be no doubt of our strength to resist aggression and in- justice and now is the time for us to re-affirm our international policy and put ourselves in a position te maintain it. Now 1s our opportunity to secure the co-operation of the world in the maintenance of our Monroe Doctrine and encourage the extension of its vital principle throughout the world. We may well hope and I think that England and France ad Russia and Italy and | Japan and the Americas will hence- forth stand together for peace and intellectual, moral and economic co- operation in so far, as varying condi- 1917, After TODAY it will be useless o write for the booklet describing ‘the Encyclopaedia Britannica To get this booklet, read it, make up your mind and orderin intime for one of the last sets The remaining sets of the “Handy Volume” Issue of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica, printed -on genuine India paper, are so few that the last one will be sold before you can send for the descriptive literature, have time to read it, decide about buying and get your order back to us unless you sign and send the coupon TODAY.

Benefits at Home. “And we may legitimately expect great benefits at home in the immed- jate by-products of universal mili- tary training: Among these benefits will be better health for the rising | generations. Fifty per cent or more‘ of the present one is physically de- fective. Me may expect greater re- spect for law and order and a keener | sense of duty to neighbor and coun- try. The intermingling of rich and poor in impartial and mutual service will result in & clearer conception of | the duty which the fortunate owe to the less fortuhate. “There is nothing too high or noble for us to attempt and nothing we may fail to accomplish if we are in a posi. tion—if we ar™ strong enough—to support our ideals as the may require. “If the training is universal then the service must be universal. Uni- versa] training with voluntary serv- ice only would be absurd. “For these and many other reasons which I will not take the time to state, 1 have become firmly convinced that the mnation has everything to gain, physically, morally and economically, by remaining loyal to the spirit of the fathers, in deed as well as speech. “But In our haste to indulge in uni- versa] military training let it be clear- ly understood that the needs of the hour are transportation and food. The administration will be blind in- deed If it does not sec that just now “we should concentrate all our energies upon escaping or sinking submarines occasion and raising crops. The future peace of the world and the fate of democ- racy may depend upon the use we make of the present planting season. Every state and every county and town shéuld organize a planting campaign and march to the front in double quick time, and every man in every community should do his bit with money or muscle to help feed the heroes who are fighting our bat- tles in the trenches of France. A famine in England mext winter means | surrender, and surrender means death’ and despair for tens of millions of brave men and women, and it may mean twenty years of war for the United States. If the American wem- en want to win the gratitude and ad- miration of the world and save their boys from the horrors of war, let them make the vegetable garden the fashionable salon for the season of 1917. The handsomest; bravest, sweet- est women in the world today are the English and French girls in trousers ° and caps making munitions for thelr husbands and brothers and = sweet- | hearts at the front. . “For more than two years we looked for our duty in a thrifty, indifferent neujrality and we failed to find it there. For more than two Years we tried to convince ourselves that cow: ardice is #a virtue, and ave . fail again for obvious reasons. We. ses our duty now. We must train eur boys to defend their country and we. must feed and equip the boys that alyeady at the front, if we wouu avoid bitter tears of regret and-lo years of conflict.”
