Lowden, governor of Illinois, speaking here today at the convention of the National Security league, declared himself in favor of universal military service as the answer of America to the menace of the German war party. Prefacing his address with the statements that the present world struggle is "only the fruit of a con- spiracy hatched a half century ago,'' by the military party of the German empire, the governor said: "If our people shall understand the meaning of the war they will pay the price whatever it may be, for- victory. "We have the men to win-the sel- ective draft is the outstanding achieve- ment in preparation for this strife. But the German war lords, still fight- ing not on their own soil but on that of their enemies, hearten themselves with the belief that this is but a tem- porary device and that we shall soon weary of it. Our answer should be a permanent law, providing for univer- sal military training. We have man- hood suffrage. There should go with it manhood service." Governor Lowden said the wealth of the nation is adequate for all war ex- igencies, but said the expenditure of war moneys should be a question of close co-ordination. "We also have the material resources to win if we but marshal them," he said. "I have no doubt but that your distinguished body will inquire if the time has not come to write down a definite finan- cial program." i WHAT'S GOING jN I-rn I * I I * I 1 * I Im I TODAY 12:35 o'clock- Lenten address at Bible Chair house, cprner of State and Jefferson., 3 o'clock-Prof. A.

Detroit Physicians attached to the local draft board are having considerable trouble regulating their examinations to conform with the requirements of both the administrative officers and cantonment physicians. The local physicians have been informed that fewer men have been rejected from Ann Arbor than any other city in the state on the examination conducted by the cantonment examiners. The local board complains because the war department are setting the physical standards for accepting draft- ed men much lower than that set by the army surgeons.

G. Mac- Kenzie, Liberty street and Fifth ave - 'nue, 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
