The manifesto condemned Germany's
wanton violation of Belgiums neutral

eXhausting the resources of peaceful
diplomacy, was in honor bound by treaty
to resist German aggression. Victory

labor party is supporting the govern

soldiers. Nor does he look to a large
standing army.
In the United States army, there are
many officers who want the army to
be a professional body with long term
enlistments, for such a system is the
one easiest for the officers.
If enlistments were for a two-year
period, 1t is said. there would be
a constant stream of men entering
and leaving the army, highly
trained and available for call to the
colors for number of years IL they
were needed. They would not re-en-
list and nor would they be allowed
to unless in the time of their enlist
ment they had risen to become nom
commissioned officers.
The advocates of such a system, point
out that it operates to withdraw young
men from civil life for but short
time and gives them the physical and
mental benefit Of a military training
without loss Of opportunities as
civilians to make their way in the
world. 1t gives the army top-notch
men as non-commissioned officers,

Estimating that s5Oo,OOOooo is spent

also suggests that increasing deaths

Secretary of War to Recon-

Legislation.

Secretary Of War Garrison's annual
report will recommend legislation to
build up an army reserve of trained
men. capable of taking the field
quickly in case OF need.
Secretary Garrison believes in short
term enlistments. to make the army
a great training school for young
men. who can be sent back into civil
life to pursue their usual callings.
The same plan in effect has been
recommended by Major Gen. Leonard
Wood. and is the foundation principle
of the German system.
Germany Is fighting the present war
with men whose erfistments have been
for short terms and who. after being
trained, have gone back to civil life.
Secretary Garrison does not look to

Mail Order Houses
And Parcel Post

While commercial reports
are to the effect that the parcel
post has not. materially hurt
the small stores, yet it seems
to be agreed that the mail or
der houses are doing a bigger
business than ever. In one
town of several thousand people
Fairfield, Me-, it is claimed that
$4,000 is sent out annually to
mail order houses.
Possibly there may be some
special reason for this partlcu-
lar case. But anyway. if the
mail order houses are getting
away trade that ought to stay
at home, it is because they are
better advertisers.
Their ads contain little cuts
of articles for sale, brief de-
scriptions, and statement of
price. Soma newspaper sd-
vertisers think all they need to
do is to put in the name Of
their company, and a hackneyed
claim that they have the best
goods, without proof or details
Wherever retail stores plan
their advertising campaign
with system. and persistence,
the mail order houses rarely
get serious hold.
