Providence. r. l., has initiated Boston
in adopting compulsory military drill for
boys in public high schools. In this there
is an emulation of Swiss methods prece-
dent to actual military training. In
Switzerland all boys still at school. where

are required to take gymnastic and body

aged" to learn how to shoot straight

however. with timely appropriateness
calls attention to the fact that in certain
Massachusetts towns and cities where
high school drilling has been tried. the
effort seems to have suffered from over
exertion; instead of giving them merely
the physical foundations. the boys were
subjected TO more Or less technical and
advanced instruction in the science and
practice of arms. Methods of choosing
officers sometimes caused unhealthy
rivalries. while officers after selection de-
veloped undemocratic manners. and the
rest on graduating felt that they had
specialized too finely to enter the militia
as prvates. A setting up and a
knowledge of the rudiments of self-care
and the manual are perhaps sufficient for
schoolboys. In the Swiss system of max
ing all promotions by merit marks from
the ranks. snobbsm is repressed. This
system of training high school boys must

Reserve Army's Officers

| In the consideration Of plans for secur-
ing reserve officers for the army 1t has
become apparent to members Of the gen.
eraI staff that about the only systematic
way they can be trained Is by the stand
ardization Of the military instruction in
the agricultural and mechanical colleges
which receive support from the Federal
government under the Morrill, act Of 1867.
The high-class military aschocls' are also
regarded as a source of supply in obtain
ing young men who could qualify as offi-
GERS for a volunteer army.
There are. roughly speaking. 5000 stu
dents under military instruction at such
colleges and II Is now contended that
the Federal government should take some
steps to utilize them in developing a
corps Of reserve officers which could be
commissioned in any large volunteer
army that is organized. To carry out
the scheme Of Standardization Of instruc-
ton at the Morrill, act schools some of
the members Of the general stan are urg-
ing that the law be amended and that
the number Of army officers detailed to
such schools be increased to at least one
for each 500 students or fraction of that
number. With this number. Of officers II
would be possible to furnish instruction
in certain Of the prescribed courses which
are either q part Of. or bear directly
upon. the military course
The detailed officers can render no
more valuable service than in the train
ing Of young men. and any excess in
which such an allotment Of oficers might
result, above the number necessary for
duty with the regular troops in time Of
peace. would be an invaluable asset for
use with the volunteers In time Of war
With a small regular army and a very
insufficient militia we must provide a
reserve corps Of at least 1000 Officers

SreciaI Gable tn The Washington Herald
Berlin. July 11.-Probably no more re-
markab BILE articles have appeared in the
German press during the war than those
of Prof. Hans Deius in the Berliner
Lokal Anzeger one of the recognized
mouthpeces of the German government.
While other writers. principally profess
sors have Systematically preached sheer
optimism and depicted the enemies OF
Germany as morally and physically ex-
hausted or torn by inner conflicts. Prof.
Delius who in some hitherto unexplained
manner has succeeded in entering France
and studying conditions there during the
war. draws pictures which are entirely
out of harmony with those painted by
other writers.
1T is well to write frankly. and par
ticularly desire to emphasize that We
are deceiving ourselves il We believe that
the French people are In the last dis
couraged" he says. 1T Is necessary to
learn the truth. so that We may arm
ourselves with patience and energy. for
in this war the whole question is to hold
out longer than the enemy.
Not Beaten or Discouraged.
I'm France I talked with men belong
ing to every profession and to all classes.
conversed with politicians, savants.
journalists. walters. cab drivers. Officers
and soldiers l visited hospitals and saw
wounded soldiers returning from the
front. questioned society ladies and
women of the public. I took pains to
obtain information by observing the daily
life Of the people in the street and by
attending public meetings. and every
where I received the same impression.
We must be careful not to underestimate
the moral force that the French people
are exhibiting in this war.
at present one thing is absolutely
certain. and that is that the French peo-
pie are neither beaten nor discouraged.
On the contrary. their condition is very
firm. and as long as they remain thus
there is no hope of either conquering or
them"
Almost simultaneously. Macmillan
Harden. proba bly, Germany's most gifted
and influential writer. gives in the
"Zukunft" an equally disconcerting view
Of the British people. whom Germans
had become accustomed to look upon as
almost panic-stricken as a result Of the
Zeppelin attacks. living In continual
dread Of disasters to their costly battle
ships through the ubiquitous German
worried by constant strikes
at home and fear Of disturbances in Ire
land Herr Harden writes:
British Harmonious.
Never, even in the time Of Bonaparte
and Pitt, has the sentiment Of the Eng
lish nation been as harmonious as at
present A year ago Unionists, Radicals.

of a cabinet in which are to be found
all the Paladins of Unionism. The Ma.
tionalists have not accepted offices. but
they have affirmed their loyalty. Such
is the spirit of determination which the
union of the political parties of Great
! Britain has provoked. 1t does not
| terrify us. but 1t is necessary that none
| Of us should underestimate its signin-
| canoe"
No people has remained more strictly
neutral during the war than the Swiss
| and this fact is admitted by French and
| Italians as we'll as by Germans and Aus
TRANS. who all owe a debt Of gratitude
to the Swiss nation. which forms an in
| dispensable link Of communication be-
| tween the belligerents In all cases which
concern prisoners Of war Of all nation
alities.
1t appears. however that Swiss bust
ness people are not quite satisfied with
| the way in which they are being treated
| by the Austrian authorities.
Austria Demands Imports.
Austria Hungary in ordinary circum.
stances Is one of the greatest sugar-pro-
| ducing countries in Europe, and Switzer.
land depends on her for her supply OF
| sugar. Now Swiss sugar importers are
loudly complaining that although. iur-
ing the last three months they have sent
many millions of francs in gold into Aus
tria when placing orders for sugar, they
have received practically no sugar in re-
turn.
The Austrian government demands
"compensations'-t Is to say, 1t Is
willing to export ten carloads Of sugar
to Switzerland II that country will per-
init the export OF one carload Of copper
The latter Is contraband of war, and
when this had been pointed out several
times through Swiss consular and diplo-
matte ofhcials, the Austrian government
ignored all further communications.
Even the people of Vienna admit that
their government seems to have fallen
Int state of stupor and Is content to
let the Germans manage everything. It
Is no secret that German officers have
taken supreme command of the Austrian
armies and it appears that the civil ad-
mtnistration must gradually pass into
German hands. at least in Austria pr Jper.
The gay, light-living people Of Vienna
in the meantime are and have been living
in a FOOLS paradise. They spend their
time at the cafes as they did a year aEo.
business man who recently returned
from there said he was thoroughly dis.
gusted because the Viennese do not ap-
pear to appreciate the seriousness of h.
situation. but he adds that very large
part of the blame falls on the govern.
ment and the press.
The Vienna police issued a decree for.
bidding any one to wear mourning 20 in
spite of the scores of thousands Of Aus-
TRAN soldiers who have fallen, no sign
of the losses suffered by practically
every family is seen anywhere.

Need Of Dry Docks

One of the problems which will be
seriously discussed by the naval ad-
visory council during the summer will
be the provision 1t Is necessary 10

for naval vessels. There are now but
two dry docks on the Atlantic coast
those at New York and Norfolk-and
one dry dock on the Pacific coast
that at Bremerton-capable of accom-
modating the thirteen big ships built
and building. This. with the pros
pective increase in the number of bat

poses of docking vessels that may at
any time easily occupy all the exist
