With the declaration of War
with Germany, and the enact-
ment of the selective draft law,
we have assumed obligations
whose ultimate ends no man can
foresee. Primarily we have now
become responsible for the prep-
aration of hundreds of thousands
of young men for the stern du-
ties and hardships of war, and,
inthe natural order of things,
they will constitute the human el-
ement available for the. ■, nation’s
defense for many years to come.
The nation owes it to the young
men who are selected for military
training and service that, from
the very first they shall know
that the training will be carried
on under circumstances above re-
proach.
The development of minds and
bodies to meet the demands of

saloons in surrounding territory.
The aggravation was grave in
states like Kansas where prohibi-
tion was a sham and a public
danger, the Ian's being ignored in
the most open and flagrant man-
ner.
In the course of time following
the abolition of the sale of beer
and wines—alcoholic liquors were
previously barred—on military
reservations, the naval regula-
tions banished intoxicating drinks
from war vessels. Modem battle-
ships, destroyers and submarines
had become too complicated to Ije

and safety of operation alike de-
manded the excluson of liquors
from war vessels and it is certain
that if the restoration of the wine

cers it would be overwhelmingly
defeated.- *
