OREGOXIAN NEWS BURKAU.Wash-tng-ton,
April 10. Universal military
training appears to have been de
feated so far as this session of con
gress goes, but its friends are proud
of their showing:, and particularly of !
having revealed that the present op- i
position is directed largely by the j
same pacifists who fought prepared- j
ness almost to the day that the
United States enterea the war against
Germany.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, in
speaking for universal military train--ing
as proposed in the Wads worth
bill, upset the composure of Senator
WcKellar of Tennessee, as leader of
the opposition, and entertained. the
senate and galleries very pleasantly
when he read in the course his
argument someexcerpts of a,ipnifi
cant speech delivered by Mctellar in
the senate on May 13, 1916. ,fl months
before congress declared war.
Old Sprrck lit Fljimtrd.
Holding the congresiojial record
of that date in hs hands, Senator
Chamberlain read from Mr. McKel
lar's remarks these .' interesting pas
sages: - r i - -
"I have not the' slightest idea of
our becoming involved in war with
any European country.
"1 have absolute confidence in the
president and his ability to keep us
out of this European war, and keep
us out with honor.
"Certainly I see no reason why we
should go to war. We cannot go to
war without congress declaring" it
and I do not know of a man in con
gress YfilUng to vote for a resolution
tieclarjng war on any European
counVry
tllK Standing; Array Oppowd.
"If we were to build up a large
standing army like that provided for
1jn the Chamberlain bill, an excitable
.president could get us into war with
out declaring it.
"Of course. President Wilson would
not do this, but some other president
more easily excited might do so."
At that time, just air he is now,
Senator McKellar was leading a fight
on universal military training as car
ried in the national defense act, oth
erwise known as the Chamberlain
bill, then under discussion. The coun
try was on the verge of war, which,
historv records, was staved off to
permit Mr. McKellar's party to make j
a winning campaign on a platform of
pacifism which had for its slogan,
"He kept us out of war. ,
Comment Made on Itemurks.
Commenting on McKellar's re
marks, Senator Chaniberlain said:
Think of it, less than a year be
fore the time when America, on the
recommendation of the president of
the United States, declared war
against Germany.
"1 honestly believe that if the sena
tor from Tennessee had bent his
efforts toward creating a large citi
lenry soldiery or a large standing
army at that time, in view of the
troubled condition of the country,
we would not have had any war with
Germany, but the senator opposed a
larger army, he then opposed uni
versal military training, he opposed
anything that squinted toward what
he and others called a militaristic
system in this country, and it was
because of this fact, because sena
tors stood on the floor of the senate
of the United States and gentlemen
stood on the floor of the house of
representatives and opposed every
thing looking toward the prepara
tion, of America to fight.
War Prevention Aliased.
"If we had all gotten together and
put our shoulders to the wheel and
said 'We will not only organize a
large army, if need' be, but we stand
ready to train every young man in
this country in the science of war,
and we will do it at a moment's warn
ing' if we had done that instead of
declaiming against the so-called fear
of cultivating a-militaristic spirit, we
"would not have had any war.
"1 sometimes think this appeal
against the so-called militaristic
spirit has tended to enervate the
young men of the country, that it has
tended to destroy national pride and
patriotism, and nothing but this "war,
which brought the sons of the rich
and the poor alike together and made
thorn confer with each other and
realize the situation, ever aroused in
them in a spirit of love of country
that was going to sleep."
Senator Chamberlain referred to his
having been pilloried during the war
by democratic colleagues for dis
agreeing sharply with the president,
whereupon he pointed out that in ad
vancing military training he is in
perfect agreement with President
Wilson now while his former critics
are opposing Mr. "Wilson. Then re
verting to Senator McKellar's position
cow and before the war, he continued:
Present Stand Discussed.
"The senator from Tennessee dif
fers from the president about the
troubled condition of the world now.
He does not think there is anything
that exists today that necessitates the
training of the young men. The presi
dent seems to think that the troubled
condition of the world requires some
sort of training for the young men
of the country.
"The senator from Tennessee may
be mistaken now, just as he was
mistaken in 11)16. He said that the
president would not get us into the
war; that he would keep us out of
the war: that there was nothing to
fight about. But the president ad
vised us to get in and the senator
helped get us in, and now the presi
dent says there is a troubled condi
tion that necessitates the training of
the young men. The senator from
Tennessee says there is no need of it,
that there is no. use to train them
now. Who is right?
"I think the president is right."

'Super-Special" productions are the "last word" in motion pictures.
The world's greatest film producers, stars, directors and authors give their best.
On these productions money is lavishly spent and the result is the absolute top
point in picture perfection. No theater can show these pictures at a twenty-five
cent admission and live, so it has been decided to concentrate them at the Colum
bia at the lowest possible admission (see below). Such Super-Pictures as ''Treas
ure Island," "In Old Kentucky," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," "Why Change Your
Wife?" "The Toll Gate" (first Hart special), "Everywoman," "The Copperhead"
(now playing), "On With the Dance," "The Sea Wolf," etc, will be shown at the
