Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The German government has taken
possession Of short strip Of track
near Berlin, and is planning to execute
unique. series OF railroad accidents
made to order. Every variety Of mis-
placed switch win be tested, every
possible defect in wheels, axles and
car equipment will be tried out, and
the grand finale is to be an immense
head-on collision of locomotives.
These spectacular exhibitions are not
planned by the government as ma
tional amusement. They are for the
purpose of scientific experiment, so
that the engineers and railway experts
may study ways and means to prevent
accidents Of all kinds in the future.
Railroad disasters have occurred
with alarming frequency in the Ger

the German railways lose $1,260,000
annually through damages. After the

Rriuade Army Posts.

New Orleans Picayune.
Secretary ot War Taft has decided
] rs put into Immediate effect his plan
ID concentrate the army into large
posts thereby doing away with the
many company and battalion posts
erred all over the country Not
only viii whole regiments be concen-
ira sat single posts, but a sufficient
ssforce. say OF 5000 to 1000 men, will
be assembled under command OF
general officer. 1t is contended that
the large brigade posts can be main
tanned more econ omtcally than the old
company battalion, or even regiment
al posts; and that they will also be
more conducive to better training and
drill of otticers and men. Not only
VIII egiments of the same arm OF the
service be assembled at these large
posts, but all the branches is, in
fantry cavalry and field artillery -
VIII be gathered together. and in that
way the various arms Of the military
service VIII be able to learn by con-
slant practice how to maneuver to-
gether and the true relations which
one bears to the other in actual SER
vice in the field.
For many years the army has been
Bred all over the country In small
posts supporting from one to four
companies: The regfmental post was
ths exception to the rule, while of
large garTisons Of two or more regi-
menta there we're none. The unset
tiled condition Of the Western from
tier furnished an excuse for this scat
tering Of the forces OF the army, but
there no longer exists any such rea-
SON, while on the other hand the con-.
centration Of the forces into large
posts win improve the efficiency Of

ii IN seyetal3of tie great titles of the
country successful pressure has been
brought to bear upon the tpnblic school
authorit ties to- eliminate certain forms
of polite usage among pupils. Among
these forms are the expressions Yes.
SIR, and mo ma am e as being sur
ytvaI OF the iodions days when society
was founded upon caste distinct tons.
Young Americans are to be taught
that thsy are of q race Of freemen
not subservient to any masters. When
addressed by their elders these yollnt g
sters will hereafter answer with "a
mere 'eyes" or no. 2
Without IN the least combating the
generally accepted theory that in this
country one man Is as good as another,
and sometimes better, 1t Is appropriate
to observe that the forms now tabooed
In some Of the schools are terms only
OF deferential courtesy, indicating, not
subordinatfon and seryility, but de-
cent politeness which all children In
all lands should show tostheir elders.
No one cares to see child cringing
thing Of fear and obsequiousness who
says eyes. sir through an instructive
sense of inferlority. But personal lib
erty that does not recognize the ele-
ment- of respect due one person from
another is liberty Of rudeness and
impartinence. Anyone who observes

entertain no fears that our national
progeny will be AFFLICTED with undue
humility of sef-etfacement.
