UNIVERSAL SERVICE 
Witt BE SaLtvaTion oF U. S. IN 
EVENT OF ANOTHER GREAT WAR. 
At the request of the advisory com- 
mission of the council for national 
defense, E. Alexander Powell, author 
and war correspondent, spoke in 
Washington Sunday night at Contin- 
ental Memorial hall on the military 
lessons of the great war and advo- 
cated universal military service for the 
United States. The lecture was de- 
livered in connection with the exhibi- 
tion of 7000 feet of film taken by mil- 
itary photographers under the direc- 
tion of the general staff of the French 
army and loaned to Mr. Powell by 
the French government. The audi- 
ence was composed of prominent gov- 
ernment officials, army and navy off- 
cers and diplomats. 
Mr. Powell spent the last. summer 
at the Brownlands in Manchester. 
While here he delivered an illustrated 
address for the benefit of the French 
wounded. 
“A member of the House of Repre- 
sentatives told me yesterday,” said 
Mr. Powell, “that he would commit 
political suicide were he to vote for 
universal service at this time. ‘To 
vote for it may be political suicide, to 
vote against it will be wholesale mur- 
cer the first time vou have to send our 
untrained boys out to defend you 
from the trained and_ schooled. in- 
vader,’ I replied. ‘Then perhaps you 
will regret that you didn’t risk politi- 
cal suicide in order to avoid murder.’ 
“Tt is asserted that it is foolish and 
extravagant to prepare for war when 
there is no slight a chance of our be- 
coming involved in one. 3ut why 
gamble with human lives and with na- 
tional safety? Why take even a single 
chance? Even the roulette wheel 
sometimes stops on the white. 
“Tt:has been asserted that, in case of 
war, we could raise an army of a mil- 
lion volunteers. We could—but how 
lone would-it take to train them and 
where would the officers cove from? 
Though the-great war. began the first

following May before the first batta- 
lions of Kitchener’s army were landed 
i France. Even then the officers, and 
there were none braver, did not know 
their business. As a result of her lack 
of trained officers, England lost tens 
of thousands of lives. — 
“It is claimed that the adoption of 
a system of universal military service 
would make the United States a mil-
