Secretary Sayi Compulsory Military
Senrice i AlternatiTe of Plan
for Continental Army.
THINKS WAS IS DUE TO COME
WASHINGTON, Deo. . SocifUrr Gar
rison declare In his annual import to tha
president, made publla tonight, that it
th administration plan for a continental
army fall tha United State will fa.-e
ome form of compulsory military service.
"There ara noma who do not feel free
to baaa their conduct upon a consideration
of facts or conclusions of reaaon because
of their Interpretation of dlvln Injunc
tion," ha aaya. "They do not believe In
resistance to physical force, and those
vhoaa consciences are so convinced sur
render Ufa and all that they cherish and
love at the behest of the gr-sor. This
attitude ror.crrns the Individual, and him
alone. It cannot be made the general
rule of conduct under our form of gov
ernment without departing from tha basis
upon which our government 1 founded.
One la Impelled to query upon what
proper consideration there la based any
dlatlne'lon between the right or necessity
or desirability of uelng mental force to
repel error, moral force to repel evil and
physical force to repel wrong. It would
item, If reason were applied, that In each
Instanca the situation Is Identical; and
that If we should properly prepare our
minds to be etrong so that we can reject
error, and our moral character to be
strong so that we can reject evil, we
should likewise make our physical force
strong In order that we rrmy maintain
the right as against lhoe who would
physically Impose the wrong upon us.
Thinks War lire to tome,.
"There are others concerning whose
clarity of vision we are not advised, and
concerning whose soundness of reason we
are not informed, . because tha attitude
which they take is admittedly not baaed
upon either vision or reason. They are
those who predict that war will never
come to thla country, and assert that
therefore precautions with respect thereto
are unwise and needless, tflnce wars have
come upon nations from the earliest date
of recorded history to this moment there
la no basis of fact for such a position,
but an actual demonstration of the non
existence of such basis. We were early
warned that there would be wars and
rumors of wars, and that nation would
rise against nation and kingdom against
kingdom, and tha end was not yet; and
that prediction has been fully verified.
There Is no basis and no foundation to
conclude that this great evil ha been
eliminated, and it therefore must be
treated a ara all other ejflntlng evils, and
must be prepared against. Burtly, a be
tween resting upon prediction or upon
preparation, wisdom would not hesitate.
"There are other among ua a ho are
too Intelligent and clear-sighted not to
ee the facta and to realize their signifi
cance, but who counsel Inaction because
they mistrust themselves and tha nation.
Those to whom I now refer do not be
lieve In the doctrine of nonrealstance;
they do not rest upon the promotion that
an evil which ha existed since tha world
began haa ceased to exist and been abol
ished, and should not therefor be con
sidered as on to b prepared against)
they tven point out our potentiality of
force, but they counsel against any prep
aration thereof. They base this counsel
upon the expressed fear that If we pos

when w should not. Thl position Ig
nore tha responsibilities which w have
undertaken and which w must maintain
at any self -sacrifice, it Ignores the fact

Preparedness !fot Militarism.
"The eyes of many ara blinded to fact
and their minds closed to reaaon by an
abhorrence of what they term militar
ism wlhtout any actual conception of
J-ist what this mean or how It should
affect the proper confederation of the
subject. Those who really fear militar
ism, or, more accurately stated, those
who dread real militarism, should bo the
strongest advocate of reasonable prep
aration. The latter 1 the preventive of
militarism, If they unwisely defeat rea
sonable preparedness, they leave the
country In a condition where the inevi
table result of defeat, humiliation or
acuta apprehension will be hasty and ill
advised provision as to armament far
beyond anything which calm reason and
wise provision would deem necessary.
'There will be those who assert that
the propoaed policy oppose tho tradi
tion of the people and run counter
thereto. Thl U mere assertion; It 1 not

There will also be those who will ex

It has been invaluable a an example to

point of view, that w should protect and

dear. Furthermore, It overlooks the fact
that although we have been Just the ex

that our example ha bad any beneficial
