PHONE 96 ALBANY OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6 MILITARY POLICY o - So far as it is possible to determine the sentiment of the country on military policy, the public is evidently in favor of compulsory army training and opposed to compulsory army service. This means a small standing army but a great reserve force of trained men who could soon be organized and whiDDed into fighting shape in emergency. It means, too, conferring on the nation's youth the benefits of military training, without the objectionable features ot long service and a militaristic atmosphere. . These features seem to be the main characteristics of the armv re-organization bill favorably reported to the Sen ate by the committee on military affairs. It would provide a four-mon,ths training course for boys reaching the age of 19. thus taking more than half a million a year. This would obviously produce a reserve army at the rate of over 2,000,' 000 in four years, 3,000000 in six years, etc. Added to the big trained reserve already existing, composed of world-war veterans, this would doubtless insure a force available at any time for almost any conceivable national purpose. A soldier cannot be made in four months, but a four- months course of training would surely instil the rudiments and make fairly simple and easy the supplementary training that would be required for active service later on. It might be found advisable to repeat the four-months course with at least a certain percentage of recruits, especially those show ing promising material for officers. A little experience will reveal the proper lines of future development. 1 he mam thing at the present time is to make a start, in some com paratively simple and inexpeslve way, toward the establish ment of a permanent policy and the creation of an adequate lighting force. ... . , t-; TODAY'S EVENTS Centenary ot the birth of Henry Howard Brownell, the New England poet, whose verses enjoyed much pop ularity among the Union soldier in the civil war. t Physician and public health offic ials of Wyoming will gather at Chey enne today for the annual meeting of the Wyoming Public Health Asso ciation.

Money Crisis America can not alway sell Europe good in unlimited volume and buy litUe or nothing from Europe, says Oregon Journal. Europe cannot stand up under such a drain. It exhausts her financial assets and depletes her resource.

I dependent ' 10! Msjority Must Rule o aii iree governments all democra- Everybody is coming forward now with his favorite presidential candidate. One suggestion, aimed to catch the movie-fan vote, names Douglas rairbanks as a man of action and of rare business ability witness his contracts and of undoubted patriotism. Douglas would usher in an era of economy, too, for with him as the nation's leader there would be no further need of a standing army. Have not his devotees seen him outwit and fight to a finish any number of bandits and whole regiments of foreign soldiers? With a little of his whirlwind action he would reduce the Senate to submission and obtain the desired peace treaty settlement. He would drive down to Mexico for a morn ing spin, clean up things there, establish a responsible gov ernment, take a dip in the ocean at Vera Cruz and eet back to Washington in time for lunch. In the afternoon he would probably fly over to Aemrongen, give the former kaiser the threshing he deserves, take tea with Lloyd George and then devote a tewtninutes to settling the Kussian Bolsheviks. Best of all. he could turn the movie riehts to all his of ficial acts over to the national treasury department and do away completely with the government's need for income taxes..
