.Prex" Hibben, 54 Today, Predicts End
 of Militarism

That n1iIitarism will be destroyed and the world will beAru1ed by a more civilized and enlightened code than that based on might is the prediction of Dr. John Grier HIbben. president of the Americans caught in Europe at the outbreak of the war. Dr. IIibben will be difty-four years old today, and was born in Peoria, Ill., the son of a clergyman. He studied theology at Princeton and Berlin, and was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in 1887. Four years later he joined the Princeton faculty and became woodrow Wilson's successor as president of the famous New Jer- sey institution.
 Dr. H1bbens while denouncing mill itarism and all it stands for, believes that the United States needs greater
 military strength, but he holds that this should be accomplished by train ing the citizens without military dis play, and thus create a reserve pow CT without the diminution of indus try and economic efficiency and the serious drain upon our resources
 which a large standing army necessi- tates.

 edge and slin in. a potential rather

 i've will avoid all the dangers of a se1f-sufhcient and arrogant militar- ism. That which creates an az gressive war spirit is the elaboration
 of a., war machine and the subordina-
 ton of all other interests in a nation
 to it. Military strength, however which is available but not visible, and therefore incapable of ostentatious
 display. will enable us to meet any critical emergency which may arise and at the same time leave us free
 from domination of a military caste and military policy. This plan o1
 intensive training of our college mer does not in any way tend to increase our standing army. It is on the con- trary a most admirable method of de. creasing it. Our actual strength 1T 1 the field may be diminished in pro. portion to the increase of our poten. tia1 strength in the growing military knowledge of our educated men.

The story of the ride of Paul Revere. and of the minute men who opposed the British authorities and so brought on the conflict at Lex ington and the fight at Concord, will be retoId today in thousands of Amer ican schoo1-roorns. Early in the morning of the Hateful day a British column commanded by Maj Pitcairn came upon a company of fifty minute men drawn up on the Lexington viii lage green The minute men were commanded by John Parker. who had fought with Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham. Pitcairn ordered the men to disperse, and, when they refused he ordered his men to fire. The sOl- dters hesitated, for, after all, they were EngIishmen, men of their own blood, whom they were asked to slay. Pit cairn discharged his own pistol and fired the shot that was heard round the world, and again ordered his men to shoot This time they obeyed, and laid seven of the minute men dead and ten wounded upon the village green. Before the day was over the war was on in grim earnest and at Lexington and Concord the Americans lost 9S and the British 273 men,

 It has been alleged that the Jews do not make good fighting men, but this has been thoroughly disproved in the present war. Thousands of English Jews have volunteered for service at the front, and-a perusa1 of the British casualty lists proves that, the. Hebrews have not stirked their share of the dangers and haz- ards of war. Many EngIishmen, Scotchmen and Irishnen have testi- fed to the vaIor of their Hebrew com rades. There are many Jews among the British officers, and. when the history of this war is written, it will probably show that they have emu lated the skill and bravery, of the English officers of that race in the South African war. among whom Sir Matthew Natban and Col Goldsmith were the most celebrated.
