ROOSEVELT'S VIEWS. UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE. Washington, May 19, Speaking at Detroit, where he urged the United States to prepare in case war broke out, Mr. Roosevelt advocated universal military service, declaring that if Germany had at any time gone to war with the United States the latter would have been obliged to pay a crushing indemnity, costing more than the whole expense of preparing. It was plain that the United States was absolutely refusing to learn any leson from the European conflict or making the slightest attempt to uphold its national rights or honor.
