"feeling that not .only our country ts In

and perpetuation of civilisation Itself.
Let me disclaim, my friends, any far
ther credit for what has been accom
plished and for what we hop to ac
complish In -the great task that con
fronts us tn this emergency. Let me
say to you that I havs had the cooper
ation and effort of the great mass of
the members of congress, without re
gard to party ; and fn addition to that,
and above and. over everything else, we
have had the support ot such distin
guished men as the ex-president and
ex-commander in chief of the armies
and navies ot the United States, and
auch men as' my friend Ellhu Root.
In season, . and - out - of season these
distinguished gentlemen have rone out
among- the .people of the country and
have tried to impress upon them ana
they have begun to realise, that Amer
ica, for the first -time in Its history, is
Involved in 'aw war which may. my
friends, mean its life and its dissolu

pen to be successful in It.

Form Baby ' Beef Club
; ' Carllnville, 111., Jan. 2S, Macoupin
.county has a "Baby Beer club. It has
to members, organized by Mayor Robert
'Whltely Jr., of this city. Its purpose is
, to purchase and raise calves. The mem
bers recently bought a large number of
.the animals from the Kansas City stock
-yards. :
Because of the ' limitation upon my
time, and I know you are all glad ef
It. (cries of "No 1 No !") it is absolutely
impossible to go into' this subject as
would hv to go Into It with you
and to discuss the military policy of
the United States .or its lack of mili
tary policy, since the earliest Revolu
tionary time. It has not been the fact
that we have had a faulty military
policy during all of those years; it
has been, my friends, that we have
had no military policy, that has led us
Into these troublous times and condi
tlons. W are wont to talk of the
magnificent courage of our forefathers.
but it has often seemed to me, my
friends, that the most unfortunate thing
that ever happened in this country was
th fact that an unorganised militia
at Bunker Hill was able to defeat an
organized army of Great Britain, be
cause, there was then established what
was later to be called the traditional
policy of the United States against the
organisation of a standing army, or.
rather, of a trained army to be called
Into service whenever the emergency
required.
From that day to this ths histories
of our country have talked about the
traditional policies of the United States,
and have commended ths valor of ths
Revolutionary troops. X have no dis
position to criticise that statement or
to question the valor th Individual
valor ot the Splendid men who fought
th battles of the Revolutionary days,
but the lack of organization which was
decried by the commanding officer
then and which has been decried by
them since, and has been criticised, my
friends, are the troubles which confront
us today ; and if their recommendation1
had been followed we not only would
have had a splendid army today, but
that army Would have been organized
and raised under a system of universal
military training that would have made
us absolutely, unconquerable.
Washington calfCd attention to It,
and I have sometimes wondered how
that distinguished commander of the
American forces, with his splendid aide,
Alexander Hamilton, ever had time to
organize an army, because they devoted
much of their time to appeals to a Con
tinental congress and to the states to
assist them in organizing an army that
might be successful In accomplishment
of victory. I wish I could go Into these
matters and discuss the various battles
that were fought; but, incidentally, let
me tell you, my friends, that America
did not owe the accomplishment of vic
tory in 17SS to its own splendid army
organization, but she owed it to France
and th splendid efforts that France
mad.
With all the pacifists that are abroad
tn th land, denouncing America for
sending a few hundred thousand men,
or a million, to France in this day
of rapid transit. It Is well to remember
that when America, on account of
Washington's efforts, appealed to
France efor assistance, they sent to us
under Rochambeau five or six. thousand
troops across the water, and Instead of
taking them five or ten days or two
weeks to reach America, they were ??
days from the time they left a French
port until they landed at Newport
R. I., afflicted with disease, and chased
every foot of the way by a British
fleet. My friends, if America had
nothing else to fight for In this war but
to preserve the magnificent French re
public, every drop of blood and svery
dollar of th treasury would b well
spent for this splendid people.
I am going to skip through It all.
Foscause my time Is almost Up now. We
have got to get out of her at t 'clock,
mind you. .
Traditional policy? It seems to m
that a war policy called for by Wash
ington and advocated by him would
sustain a policy, now of training young
men to do battle for their country. We
have departed from traditional policy,
thank God. and in the last two years
w have enacted a law that; as your
chairman has said, compels Americans!
to know that the duties of citizenship
carry with them the responsibility for
service Whenever that service nappens
to be heeded.
The selective draft law which .has
been mentioned here, put into service
every man between 21 and 101 and it
may be said to the credit of these young
men who have been drafted that they
are rendering Just as effective and Just
as patriotic service as those who have
volunteered. Z sometimes regret that
volunteering has ever been permitted.
for the reason that tn the loss that w
sustain in th battles where there Is a
volunteer system, as there was in Great
Britain, we have a horizontal loss, tak
ing the young, red-blooded people that
Volunteer for service and leaving those
who ought to have shared the fate of
their colleagues at the first sound of
war. On the other hand, under this
system wf take from the walks of in
dustrial and commercial and evelwday
life young men of all classes, so that
there is not this horizontal loss thst
speak of but rather a perpendicular
loss, where th high and the low, tne
rich anil th poor, the professional man
and the artisan, stand shoulder to Shoui
der. and when losses come, the loss
falls on an. every social stratum of life.
Let me tell: you that we are going
to extend that, w are going to com
menc to train th young men from
18 to '21, so that when they become 21
we will have an army of young men
to draw from from every walk of life.
Rut. th nsfifista. it Is unneces
sary in the United Spates to train, the
young men or to have an army. My
friends, there were those in Great Brit
ain who said tt was Unnecessary
and yet, but for the fact that repub
lican France trained her young men.
what would have become of France
when the German forces went down and
attacked her on her western front?
Nothing saved her, my friends, but the
universal military training which that
splendid republic had In vogue. Ah
my friends, let us get away from mat

Stating that, in his belief, th water
power conservation measure now pend

law, G If ford Plnchot has written a most
interesting summary of th measure to
the publisher bt The Journal. la bis
letter he says: .
The 12-year fight to keep th nation's
water power from capture by th power
monopolists Is at last on the verge of
being won. The administration water
power bill, now before congress, opens
the way to save for the people ot th
United States their most valuabl natu
ral asset. Some fifty million water
horsepower Is at stake.
"The bill in question was formulated
under the direction of th secretary of
agriculture, the secretary of war and
the secretary of the interior, was sub
mitted to th president for his approval.

"It is an admirable measure, drawn
with thorough knowledge and unusual
skill. The principles essential forthe

Donald Skene of Portland, who was a
member of the Tale ambulance unit in
service of the French before the United
States entered the war, is expected to
arrive in Portland soon on a visit to his
parents. Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Sken.
Mr. Skene aimed no for a oerlod ef
six months with the Tale unit, but when
America declared war on Germany the
members were given an opportunity by
th French government to offer th.elr
services to their own country.
The Portland boyhas been offered a
lieutenancy In the French army and also
that of staff interpreter. In a letter to
his parents, however, he declares he in
tends to enter either the aviation corps
or the artillery of Uncle Sam.

evinced an interest in fir prevention
work In the past will also be chosen for
th 1911 committee.
Vigorous fir prevention campaigning
in roruana was inaugurated in 111! un
der' the leadership of Former Fire Mar
shal J. W. Stevens, who la now in dim
ot ths fir prevention and arson work for
the underwriters In ail coast states,
Portland has a record of a per capita
Cr loss for th year HIT of IS cent
compared to the average per capita loss
ef clUe te th UnlUd State t tUft,
Th campaign was first suggested by
promlaont busln ma ef th otty who
attracted th attention ef fir officials.
This was In 11&. after Portland had suf
fered a fir loss rlnr m of I1.TI7.-
s.. or a per capita loaa of IS.7B. Marly
three time th per capita toss Cor titles
ue united SUtes which waa given
aa 1141
lsr Capita Lett Tartst
During the four years toreeedlnc 1114.
th per capita lo ta Portland varied
from $S.U in 1111 to 94.11 In 1110.
By conducting adneatlonal eamnaltna
la th school, training th asslstan-r
marshals to make thorough Inspections,
the fire loss was reduced materially
during the eight months ot 111- during
which the fire prevention campaign was
conducted.
During the year llll. the first full
rear of fire prevention. tl.S2T buildings
were inspected and the per capita Ore
wast was reduced to 11.71. as compared
with th average for citiee In the United
States of $1.10 for the same year.
The need ot conservation ot food and
the neoeattty ot precautionary measures
against arson because ot the war has
added much Impetus to the Or preven
tion program for this rear.
Firemen acting: as deoutr inarShats
hav been told at weekly lecture held
in tne city ball that the aid ot every

To reduc fir hazard in Portland t
th very minimum during th war. Cora-
misaioner BIgelow Is planning to Intro-
auce an ordinance fixing liability (or
tire due to carelessness or neglect.
If the cooperation of every dtisen of
Portland can be secured. Fire Marshal
Ureal all and other Ore denartment of
rioiais are confident that Portland can
approach the low average per capita
fir loss ot European city, which has
been averaged at 13 cents per capita.
Another advantage to fire prevention
is the opportunity for material
in gs by all property owners in insurance.
Commissioner BIgelow believes the fire
prevention work already accomplished
in Portland may result in a survey of
Insurance rates here with the reduction
of loses and hasards, Mr. BIgelow feels
that Portland will be given a greatly re
duced Insurance premium rat.
