Uncle Pan Is probably ohe of the best-informed men , In the country." Billie clapped .his 1 hands and. gave such n whoop that he * wakened the baby, but what could you expect o f a flftceu-year-oliLboy who is a living Interrogation point and wants to know about war? Uncle Dan arrived In due time and Billie watched for an opportunity, It came that evening after dinner when Uncle Dan had lighted a cigar and tuktm a seat on the porch. “ km mighty glad you came, Uncle Dan. I want to talk to you about the war. We have just put military train, lng In our township high school, but I wo had a hard time to. do it: The i Joneses and the Greggs objected. They, said the war wouldn’t come over here. Grandma Jones said: 'They ain’t no| use to worrit, It will soon "blow over.’ i j Well, we put the .training in just thej * same. You orter heard Judge Brow­ nell, the president of the school: board, ■ do the slackers up. He-said unless we take off our coats and go to it, Ger­ many may yet win, and if she does, she , will take over the great British fleet as ! a war trophy and compel us to do what j ever she wants to; that she could make ( j us pay all the cost of tho war ; the j ; kaiser could tax us ns he pleased and that we couldn’t help ourselves. He could make every one pay over a part o f what he earns; that he could make the farmers pay rent for their own farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you think of that?" , f "Well, my boy," said Uncle Dan,j "all that. Judge Brownell says might j have been called at once tor service, 1 do not believe the falser would have forced the war tfpou ufr. As It was, he had no respect for ua, and now we are 'in it and must go through with It. But I never again must we be caught so; wholly unprepared, . - : “ There is only one safe way," said* Uncle Dan, “and that is to adopt per- manently universal military training, apply It to every young'ninn who it ; physically fit, say in his nineteenth or twentieth ‘year. The training can bo carried forward in the United States training camps that are now being es­ tablished for training men called by the selective draft, As soon as these men vacate Jiese stations, they should be .filled, by younger meh, and this should be made .the permanent policy o f the country." -Billie’s mother,'Mrs, Graham, had overheard the conversation. -She came out and said; “Really, BrbtheFDan; are you serious as to the dangers of our country? Jfvlt Is as bad' as that, it •fs high time for us to wake up and do something about it." ‘ . “Exactly,” replied Uncle Dan." "It is better to wake up now than to be rudely awakened later. We may as well understand, sister, that this is our war and we must win It or God liejp America. Everything that we have or hope to have—our liberties, our blessings, our opportunities are ull In­ volved in the great issue before us. Nothing must , stand between us and winning tiffs war. It is a question 1 whether tho peoples' right or the knl-j ser’s’ might shall dominate the world/' If there ever was a holy war, this Is ; It, "We are fighting for World liberty. We are fighting for the freedom of humanity. We are fighting for the right of men to govern themselves In­ stead of being governed against their will by a war-mad overlord. Perilous times arc ahead of us. Wo must b o 1 .prepared to make any sacrifice, to per­ form any service that may bo required of us.” * » 2■ *t. a -The Surprise Store’s DISSOLUTION "Oh, Uncle Dan,” exclaimed Billie, “ may I bring my chum, Jimmie Col­ lins, when we have our next talk? . He is a bug on this war business und just crazy to see you." ■ ‘‘Certainly," said Uncle Dan, with a* hearty laugh. “ If we are to have more talks, I shall be glad to have Jimmie join us.” Billie clapped Ms hands affil rap to the ’phono and told Jimmie to be over ut seven /i~eloc)~ "he next evening.
