DECRIES FORUM ATTITUDE
Lack of Patriotism, Selfishness and
Poor Idea of Duty
Shown
Editor The Michigan Daily:
Wednesday night's meeting of the
Forum was remarkable in several
ways; it plainly showed three atti-
tudes; lack of patriotism, selfishness,
and a poor conception of the college
man's duty to his country.
Before going further I wish to dis-
tinctly state that under no circum-
stances imaginable would I favor or
support any aggressive action or mil-
itaristic tendency on the part of the
United States, neither do I want war.
But I do believe that every man en-
joying protection and advantages
given him under the government of
the United States and the state of
which he is a resident is, in duty
bound, to defend his country, its citi-
zens, and property. Every man who
will not willingly and without thought
of personal gain bear arms in defense
of his nation, his rights, his loved
ones, is worthy of no consideration or
tolerance whatsoever from the people
of this country. He deserves no pro-
tection, no advantages of any kind,
no recognition from his fellow men.
Truly he is what Everett Hale calls,
"A Man Without a Country."
While not born here perhaps, every
one enjoys educational privileges and
protection. Many of us pay taxes in
partial support of these. Many en-
gage in business. All demand some
form of protection, be it fire, police,
legal, or governmental. Because it
guarantees us certain protection, con-
stitutional rights, and privileges, we
support it. Except of loyalty no men-
tion is made regarding our duty to it.
But it is morally understood and has
been since the Civil war, that we are
to support it, to stand ready at all
times to sacrifice ourselves in defense
of it.
Every individual in the nation must
remember that there are others dwell-
ing here. That, however, does not
release him from his duty to it as a
body. Furthermore, when the rest
look to the nation for adequate de-
fense of any of its rights it looks to
him also He does not fulfill his part
if he waits until foreign aggression
has reached our shores and our homes
are ravished. He must be prepared
at any time to sacrifice and serve his
country even to blood sacrifice, hor-
rible as that may seem.
Those who will not give this sacri-
fice voluntarily must be compelled to
do so; it is the right of the American
nation to 'demand it. To any who
will not, I can only say, "The United
States has no use or room for you."
There are other countries and planets.
Get out! The sooner the better for all
concerned. For those who still re-
main the nation expects and demands
that every man, whether he be col-
lege graduate, student, laborer or
business man, shall do his duty, and
do it "now." Though such a sacrifice
be compulsory, though it be in de-
fense of this country, though it
amounts to three drill periods a week
and an expenditure of $14.50, you vio-
late no principle, no spirit of this na-
tion. Rather you fulfill an implied
obligation for what you have received,
be it great or small.
During the discussion at the Union
some very picayune reasons were of-
fered against the proposed action as
regards military drill. Some are in
favor of making it voluntary, if that
were done there would be shirkers.
The real insult is that it should have
to be made compulsory. Our duty to
Ir
this nation goes with residence or cit-
izenship and is not to be abrogated.
Some men were sincere In their ob-
jections, but I should hate to believe
the strong implications of their state-
ments, that under no conditions would
they bear arms in defense of their
country. I have to admire the col-
losal bravery of men who in public
make a statement leading to no other
conclusion. Yet in no way can such
a statement, though unthinkingly
made under the circumstances, be
otherwise construed than as an act
of high treason. Traitors are made
by act of speech as well as by deed.
It is sad that men like these not only
are found in this university but
throughout the country.
In replying to the patron of the
university it would be "Unthinkably

W~ANTS NTION PREPARED
K. M. STEVENS, '16L, FAVORS COM-
PULSORY MILITARY TRAINING
FOR STUDENTS
Editor The Michigan Daily:
We are in college for a specific pur-
pose, and this specific purpose is to
become efficient. By efficiency we
mean an ability to successfully com-
pete not only for an existence plus the
better material things in life, but for
better principles and higher ideals.
We aspire to establish these things not
only for ourselves but for future
Americans as well. We must then not
only strive to produce these condi-
tions, but we must leave no stone un-
turned in our effort to secure their
safety after they are once established.
We must prepare not only to create
ideals but to maintain them. We must
not allow might to destroy right.
The municipality maintains a police
force to protect its ordinances against
the individual. The state supports the
militia to control mobs. The federal
government has reserves to assure the
safety from internal rebellions of the
central government. From within, our
principles of government are well pro-
tected, but if we were to stop here in
this business of protection we would
indeed be near-sighted. Wo must pre-
pare to protect our government from
without as well as from within.
Our army could probably cope suc-
cessfully with Mexico or Canada, but
that is simply because ou country is
a big one. Unfortunately, ours is not
the only big country in the world, and
unfortunately, these other powers are
not always convinced with logic.
It is to the interest of civilization
that we exhaust every means within
our knowledge to settle our disputes
by peaceful means, yut when these
means are exhausted it -is equally to
the advantage of civigzation that we
refuse to allow might to conquer right.
If America is to continue to cope suc-
cessfully with powerful nations who
will enter war merely to gain for
themselves a little additional territory,
as was the case with Italy. If we are
to continue to fly our flag over the
Philippines and the Panama canal and
uphold the Monroe Doctrine, we must
prepare ourselves with more than ar-
gument.
Is the university the place to teach
protection? If we are here to learn
efficiency, this cannot be doubted, for
prominent among the elements of ef-
ficiency is the ability to protect one-
self, his property and those dependent
upon him. Through the university we
can reach the best men of future
America. If it comes to war, we want
the best men of the nation at the helm.

TEACHERS TO MEET IN CHICAGO
Prof. L. C. Karpinski and E. I. Hed-
rick, '96, to Address Assembly
Prof. Louis C. Karpinski, of the
mathematics department of the liter-
ary college, will deliver one of the ad-
dresses at the cqming meeting of the
Central Association of Science and
Mathematics Teachers at the Carter H.
Harrison Technical High school, Chi-
cago, Friday and Saturday, November
26 and 27. Professor Karpinski will
address the mathematics section on
"The History of.Algebra" on Saturday
morning. The lecture will be illus-
trated with stereopticon views.
One of the other speakers on the
general program is E. R. Hedrick, '96,
head of the department of mathemat-
ics at the University of Missouri.
We want our college men for officers,
not for privates. While it' is admitted
that the training we would receive
here would not make skilled officers
out of us, it cannot be denied that if
coupled with a college education we
have an understanding of the funda-
mentals of the science of warfare, we
will be the officers over the mass of
volunteers lacking both education and
training. By training the university
student and having him ready we can
rely on better volunteer armies be-
cause of better officers, and, further-
more, make it possible to raise these
armies in a shorter space of time.
Should this training be compulsory?
If it is to be a success, it must be.
At the University of Chicago a volun-
tary plan was recently adopted and
only sixteen men volunteered. If it
is to reach the majority of the stu-
dents, it must be compulsory. But why
is this so objectionable? In one sense
all of our college work is compulsory.
We are compelled to take certain pre-
scribed courses and to carry a certain
number of hours. We are compelled
to study or lose credit, and unless we
get this credit we are exepled or fail
to graduate. We are not allowed to
pursue our studies just as we please.
This idea of compulsion is not new to
us, and if it was not for it very few
of us would accomplish much. If we
are to take up this business of protec-
tion we must do it not as volunteers
but as a united people.
Let us not as a nation be caught in
that most pitiable of conditions-
caught with the ability and the edu-
cation to see the right and to establish
the higher principles of government,
but lacking the ability to protect these
ideals from the avarice of foreign
nations whose greed is greater than
their principles of justice.
