| These prep schools get the candidate
| in shane for the senior cadet schools. the
| military school at Modena. which fits the
student for the cavalry and infantry
arms. and the military academy at Turin.
where the engineers and artillery cadets
are schooled in a three years course.
Routes to Commission.
Admission to these high-grade institu-
tions is open to civil school graduates
and to deserving soldiers. The course at
Modena covers two years. No mathe-
mates is taken by the cadets there ex-
cept in the physical and natural sciences.
The Italians believe with the Prussian
war professors that only the talented
few can become proficient in mathemat-
les, so valuable time and mental energy
is not wasted.
On graduating from Modena, the cadet
receives his commission in cavalry or
infantry.
At Turin, which prepares for high
mathematics-most necessary in artfl-
lery-the big part of the three years
course is taken up with the sciences. The
mental training Is severe. On gradua-
! ton the cadet gets his commission, which
is antedated a year to adjust his rank.
Cadets thus become officers in the Ita@
ian army at a minimum age of 10 years.
Hope for Rankers.
But in Italy there is hope. as in France,
for the enlisted man. Here Is where II
differs from the Prussian, where. prior
to this war, army officers formed close
corporation. About one-third of the
vacancies go to deserving soldiers. for
whom a special course of two years is
provided at Modena.
On graduation from the military
schools. the Young officers are sent to
schools of application for further train
ing in their branch of the service. Sec
ond lieutenants of cavalry take ten
months in cavalry school at Pinerola
Immediately after graduation from Mo-
dena. Here is where the wonderful equi-
tation feats and tricks which make the
Italian cavalry officers leaders OF the
world are mastered.
Long postgraduate courses are pro-
vided for the Turin graduates. Second
lieutenants of heavy artillery md ensi-
neers put in two years more at me school

at Nettuno. In the infantry arm the
lieutenants attend the School OF Fire at
Parma.
Turin Il Last Word.
The war school at Turin provides the
last word in the ancient and honorable
profession of war. 1t Is patterned on
the lines of the famous war college of
Berlin.
The three years course is designed to
qualify officers who have had three or
four years Of service for the general
staff. Entrance is competitive for the
cavalry and infantry branches. but no
examination Is required OF those officers
who have been graduated from the high
er schools of application for artillery and
engineers.
The school has a faculty staff of A
officers and 165 students.

CALL HATRED FOOLISH
By FREDERICK WERNER


Special Gable I" The Washington Herald
Berlin. May 22.-The discussion OF
the question of peace in the German
press. which the government not only
permitted but to a certain extent even
encouraged on the condition that II be
made sufficiently clear that Germany
is by no means signing for peace a,
any price. has brought to light the fact
that the assiduously cultivated hatred
of England. which is the favorite slo-
gan of the Prussian Junkers, is by nc
means shared by the more intelligent
and politically clearsighted part of the
people.
Judging from the articles which have
appeared in various influential papers
1t looks very much indeed as If an at
tempt is being made to familiarize the
German people with the fact that some
arrangement with England may be ad-
vantageous to Germany after the war
Foremost among the papers that edi-
torially have advocated this view from
the very moment discussion of peace
was permitted has been the "Vor-
waerts." the principal mouthpiece of
the German socialists. and some of the
articles have made a very pronounced
impression of being inspired by no less
person than Chancellor Won Bethmann
Hollweg. who from the very start has
been opposed to the policy imposed
upon the government by the militarist
leaders.
Parchment for Love.
Another influential paper. the West.
deutsche Arbeiter Zeitung'' West Ger.
man Labor Times). also strongly con-
dennis the policy OF hatred and reminds
its readers that the command to love
which is the fundamental law In
Christendom'' Is not suspended even in
war time and that all hate Is un-Christ-
ian and unjust. especially when direct
ed against such helpless persons as
prisoners and exiles.
1T is foolish and Ridiculous the paper
says. Ito use a formula of hatred like
Colt strafe England In place of the
usual daily greeting. to teach 1t to chill
dren and to plant hatred in their young
souls. The singing of the scurrilous
Hymn of Hate in schools and at public
meetings is neither fair. nor honest, nor
strong fighting
In the "Deutsche Tageszeitunh." Count
Reventlow. the famous naval expert
writes: The words, we are going to
win are no empty boast. no blind to
hide the absence of thought. but the re-
suit Of cool reflection. When We have
conquered and profited by our victory.
we may enter into an entente with Eng
land. but any other issue of the war
would forever ruin Germany's future, no
matter how beautiful the phrases chosen
to conceal this fact.
These questions are the gravest and
most important to the future OF a nation,
and it is of vital interest to US that we

srREEr CAR EMPLOYEES

There should be active propaganda
work among the street car workers
OF Boise to have them all join the To-
cal union of their trade. The union
movement has been the great factor in
the increase Of wages and the reduc-
tion of the hours of work in all lipes
of industry 1t has won its fight for
recognition of the right of laborers to
combine for mutual protection and
advantage and organized labor is now
strongly entrenched in popular favor.
Boise has always been a good union
town and it is up to those who labor
in any branch of service to unite and
back one another as we'll as cooper
ating with other workers of the COM
munity There is a loyal union Of
street car employees in this city. but
some Of the employees Of the railway
companies have never joined. We be-
lieve these are making a serious mis-
take, and one that should be rene
died at once.
When one considers the long battle
for better conditions that has been
waged BY organized labor Il is almost
incomprehensible how any body Of
workers can remain out Of their local
union. They reap the benefits Others
have sown and make no effort to carry
their share Of the expense.
Surely if the matter is presented in
the right light and backed up by the
incontrovertible arguments OF ex-
perience the workers will come in and
do their share in the work which IS
essential to the welfare Of the laboring
class. Every union man should assist
in the upbuilding Of the local union
