CHILDREN
 TO HAVE ANNUAL
 PRIZE FETE DAYS
Minister Believes Discon- tinl1ance of Custom Would
 Be Bad Policy.

Paris, May 19-The annual distri- button of prizes in the pubMc schools, a fete of considerable importance in France will take place as usual this year. though the children of many localities have asked that the money be used for the soldiers at the front and the wounded instead. All the six million pupils receive a book of some sort the importance of which depends upon scholarship and general conduct. The cost is several million francs annually.
 x The Minister of Public Instruction has decided that the, omission of the ddstri button would be a hardship to employees of the publishing houses; and also that the children of France while I'm burning the soldiers who have given their lives to the country should not be weighed down by a cloud of sorrow. He has issued in struct1one to the public schools to the effect that the day should be made memorable to the children by a cere- mony that will impress upon them the grandeur of the struggle in which their fathers are engaged and that will inspire them to hold up their heads instead of lowing them under the pain of bereavement.

IN CASE OF WAR.

The chances that the United States will become involved in the war may not be large. But until that conflict is ended. no American can feel sale
 If Germany should declare war against the United States, the fight ing could reach our shores only in case the Teutonic allies should large 1y overpower their adversaries. This may be unlikely, but every possible contingency should be faced.
 The United States has plenty of available material with which to make war. The problem of organiz- ing that material would tax the big gest intellect in the nation. The goVss ernment at Washington in time Of peace under all Administrations Is conducted by the class of men called politicians, rather than by business men In case of a sudden outbreak of war, the politicians high and low of every party should feel their limitations.
 They ought to expect to call to their aid a, sufficient force of the most capable business executives. Of course army and navy methods have been vastly improved since the con fusion of the Spanish war. But the country is so far unprepared that the problem of developing military re- sources would be beyond the powers of any group of men that ever gath CTS at Washington.
 In case of war there would be plenty of enlistmenta While the average citizen shivers at the thought of enlisting, there is plenty of young blood hot for battle. Every hint and throat of war always stimulates en- listments. The country has no avia- ton force worth speaking of. But it has host of amusement flyers who could be mobiHzed. Its equipment for feeding an army would be only a fragment. But the streets are swarming with motor trucks t1aat ton are woefuliy inadequate. But the country is full of machine shops. To systernatize resources for a sudden call is a problem far greater than anything that falls to any single group of our executives iIf> time of peace. It is 8 time for the most de- tailed plans to be formulated.
