NOT VERY FLATTERING.

The charts which record the
measurements of soldiers moblllZlne
for service in the trenches OF the
European war disclose that the aver
aee man answering his country S
call today is larger than the aver.
age medieval warrior. This should
set at rest the cry of those who say
that the race is physically deterior-
atine. The twentieth century man
is larger, stronger and more capable
of endeavor than his ancestor, and
he ought to be for he is better fed
better protected and wiser.
The wonder of it all is that in our
twentieth century wisdom and
strength we do not appreciate more
keenly the folly of the institution
called war. 1t is not very t1atter-
ine. therefore, to be told that we
have advanced along physical lines
when at the same time we are dom
mated by medieval ideas of passion
and power.
