SEPTEMBER 17, 1915 PAGE THREE IN A GREAT INDUSTRIAL ARMY AY VSKSSSSSPSSSSSWS E R KLAMATH RR1GATI0N 11Y G1LSON QARDNEK. (Copyright, 1915, by tho Newspaper Hntorprlso Association.) OYSTER RAY, N. Y., Sept. 14. "Universal scrvlco In tho Industrial hrmy of tho United States" Is today added by Col. Roosevelt to his recom mendation of compulsory military training in America. V4 "Yes, I would (?o farther," declared tch colonel to mo after commenting on tho need for something llko tho Swiss system to train men In tho United States In tho use of arms for defensive purposes. "I bollcvo in UNIVERSAL COMPULSORY SER VICE In pcaco no less than univer sal service In war. I would havo every man of military ago servo nt, least a year In a great INDUSTRIAL army!" "Do you moan," I asked, "that tho sons of tho rich would bo obliged to hecomo dirty-hnnded laborers for a msswsswS year?" "That Is exactly what I mean," tho colonel replied. Ho wont on to explain that ho would llko to sco Vincent Astor and J, P. Morgan's sons working on tho scows that tako Now York's garbago out of tho harbur and dump it into tho sea!" Ho thinks tho training would bo flno for tho young men and tho city's sanitation would ho Improved. Sonio Influential pcoplo would then know about what was happening and how It ought to happen, Tho colonel would apply tho samo thing to ALL THE 1DRTY JOBS done In tho public Interest. Ho said ho has not yet worked out the details of Ills Idea. hi "OK COURSE," HE PUT IN PARANTHETICALLY, "JT WILL RE DE NOUNCED AS SOCIALISTIC, RUT IP THIS IS SOCIALISM, I AM FOR IT!" In general It lo Col. Roosevelt's Idea that tho malo citizen should bo obliged RY LAW lo tendor himself at n certain ago for HIS YEAR OP SER VICE In the INDUSTRIAL ARMY. Ho would bo treated as men nro treated in tho training camps bo examined as to his physical fitness and ability to do cortaln kinds of work, nnd then bo assigned to that work. It might Ijo work on public Improvements, llko roads, bridges, forestry, harbor im urovoinoiit. reclamation of swnniDS or -' nrli! Intuln. rnnntriirtlnn nf mihllc buildings, work in arsenals, navy yards or government factories, street cleaning, sanitation nnd public health service, or It might bo work as n membor of tho army of laborers need ed to meet personal requirements. Jlk harvesting crops. In any caso, tho man would work under supervision. In mnny instan ces ho would ho tnnght how to work nnd would learn how to ltvo in tho open and tako proper caro of himself nnd his surroundings. It Is tho col onel's Iden that such compulsory aer vlco In tho Industrial nrmy would tend to DEMOCRATIZE THE COUN TRY break down tho artificial so cial and class prejudices botween tho man who WORKS with his HANDS nnd tho mnn who WORKS with his DRAIN, or simply owns property for n living. Ho bolloves, too, It would tend to devolop n MORE PIT RACE. Answering tho question ns to Just what training ho would recommend for military purposes, Col. Roosevelt jdeked up a copy of his latest book, "America and tho World War," and rend tho follewing: "All our young men should bo trained In nctunl field tvorvlco under war conditions profcrably on tho Swiss, then on tho Argentlno or C'hllonn model. Tho Swiss modol would probably bo bettor for our peo ple. It would necessitate only four to six months service shortly after graduation from high school or col lege, nnd thereafter only about eight days ayc'nr. No man could buy a sub stitute All would servo In tho ranks on precisely tho samo terms sldo by nldo. "Undor thlB system tho young men would bo trnlned to Bhoot, to march, to tako caro of themselves In the open mid to learn thcoo habits of solf-ro-llanco and law obodlonco which aro not only essential to tho efficiency of a citlzon-soldlory, but aro no loss essential to tho officlont performance of civic duties,, In a freo domocracy. "My own firm belief Is that this pyHtcm would holp us In civil qulto ns much as in military matters. It would lncreaso our social and Indus trial efficiency. It would holp us to habits of order and respect for law. This nroitosal doe not represent any thing more than carrying out tho purpose of tch second amendment to tho federnl constitution which de clares that a well rogulatcd militia is necessary to tho security of a freo nation. "The Swiss army is n well regulat ed militia; nnd thorofore, It Is utter ly dlfforont from any militia wo havo over had. Teh system of cotnpul bory training and universal sorvlco is worked admirably In Switzerland. "It lias saved tho Swiss from war. "It has dovolopcd their efficiency In peace , MILITARY TRAIN WRECK MEXICO OAKLAND TROLLEY LINES THREATENED BY GENERAL STRIKE LAREDO, Texan, Sept. 17. The .wreck of.u Mexican; mill'tnryi train re-!

Twenty-five oommutcrs who live on this side of tho bny and nro employed in San Fran emeu, would ha affected on tho San Frnncisc.0 terminal lines alone. According to union officials, the basic caiifio of tho dissatisfaction is due to tho fact that two deck hands were, discharged from tho ferry ser vice of tho traction company shortly after they hutf joined the union. Tho onrpicn claim an attompt is being inudo to break up their organization. i t I" t f I 50 NEW FALL SUITS To tho Editer: As tho problem of Irrigation Is boforo tho people so forcibly nt tho present tlmo nnd aid from tho state nnd government havo been enlisted and tho nglneors aro now making in vestigations. Of courso tho old sayinx Is very truo In this caso, '.Many Mon Havo Many Minds." To tho mind of tho writer tho great question is tho water that can bo gotten into tho valley nt an elevation of 2C00 to 3000 feet to bo of any benefit to tho foot hills land nnd as this will nbout equal tho floor of tho valley in area, it must bo considered. Now wo all know that thero aro no reservoir sites that can bo mado nvallnblo nt this altitude with a sufficient Bupply of water so tho question must narrow down to two available propositions, tho Roguo river nnd tho Ulamath river. Now It seems to tho writer who has lived In tho va'.loy many years and is well acquainted with tho southern Oregon country thnt tho Klamath river pro position should havo duo considera tion at this tlmo as it is tho firm bo- lief of tho writer that water in ample supply can bo had and brought Into tho upper end of tho valloy at tho al tltudo spoken of and then divided Into two canals ono on each sldo of tho valley thus covering tho whole valloy for less money than It can bo had from tho Roguo river. Of courso this Is n largo undertaking nnd must bo handled on n comprehensive scale for wutor wo must have, There Is much moro that I would llko to say, but will refrain from taking moro tlmo and space at this time.
