By Gilson Gardner (Copyright, 1915, by the Newspaper Baterprise Assoctation? OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 13.—“Universal service in the industrial army of the United States” is today added by Col. Roosevelt to his recommen- dation of compulsory universal military training in America. “Yes, I would go fur- ther,” declared the colonel to me after commenting on the need for something like the Swiss s to train men in United States in the use of arms for oS pur- poses. “I ieve in UNIVERSAL COM- PULSORY SERVICE in peace no less than universal service in war.

Owing to its inaccessibility, the treasury department expects to sell the Se attle postoffice site recently bought for $170,000 Assistant Secretary Newton will visit Seattle soon, and probably choose another location for a half. million dollar building. Assistant Postmaster Colkett sald quarters of Monday the local office had re with the czar. \ceived word several days ago that AGE for HIS YEAR OF SERVICE tn the INDUSTRIAL ARMY He would be treated as men are treated in the training camps-—be examined as to his physical fitness and ability to do certain kinds of work, and then be assigned to that work. Answering the question as to Just what training he would recommend for military purposes, Col. Roosevelt picked up & copy of his latest book, “@merica and the World War,” and read the following FAVORS SW: ARMY PLAN “All our young men should be trained in actual fleid service under war conditions preferably on the Swiss, but if not on Swiss, then on the Argentine or Chilean model, The Swiss model would probably be better for our people. It would necessitate only 7 “four to she months’ service, shortly after graduation from high schoo! or college, and thereafter only about int days @ year. No man could buy a substi- tute. All would serve in the ranke on precisely the same terms, side by side. “Under this om the young men would be trained to shoot, to march, to take care of themselves in the open, and to learn those habits of self-reliance and law-abiding obed! ence which are not only essential to the efficiency of a CIT- IZEN-SOLDIERY, but are no leas essential to the efficient performance of CIVIC DUTIES in a FREE DEMOCRACY. AIDS CIVIL LIFE “My own firm belief is that this system would help us in Civil quite as much as in military matters, It would increase our social and industrial efficiency. It would help us to hab- its of order and respect for law. This proposal does not rep- resent anything more than carrying out the purposes of the second amendment to the federal constitution, which de- clares that a WELL-REGULATED MILITIA IS NECESSARY TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE NATION. “The Swies army is a well-regulated militia; and, there- fore, it is utterly different from any militia WE have ever had “IT HAS SAVED THE SWISS FROM WAR “IT HAS DEVELOPED THEIR EFFICIENCY PEACE.” IN WANTS 'EM DEMOCRATIC Roosevelt is strong for military training camps like that at Plattsburg, N. Y., but he complains that these get the training only to the men who can AFFORD TO PAY THE EXPENSES. The government, he says, ought to PAY THE COST of such training, so that it could be enjoyed as much by the dollar-and-a-half day workman as by the professional or business man. 7 | PAN-AMERICAN HEAD VISITS IN SEATTLE Interest ir this action probably would be taken. | The site fronts on Seattle boule vard, near Sixth ave., and was in tended for a main postoffice build ing.
