purpose of the national membership
plan is to avoid any Of the delays or
difficulties that might possibly arise

"a HOPELESS piece Of provincalism' is the way
N Woodrow Wilson in 1916 characterized the
views he entertained fourteen months previously.
Here is what he said in address to Congress on De
cember 8, 1914:
We arc at peace with all the world. No who
speaks counsel based on fact or drawn from a Just
and candid Interpretation Of realities that there
is reason 10 fear that from any quarter our inde-
pendonce or the integrity Of territory is threat
ened Dread Of the power OF any other nation we are
incapable Of We not jealous of rivalry in the
felds Of commerce of any other peaceful achieve
ment We mean to live our lives as we Will; but we
mean also to let live.
And here is the contrary view expressed January
o. 1916 with the of the denuncatory expression,
hopeless piece OF proyncalism:"
We live IN n world which did not make, which
we cannot alter which cannot think into differ
ent condition from that which actually exists IT
would be hopeless piece Of provincialsm TO sup
pose that because think differently from the rest
OF the world az liberty to assume that the rest
of the world will permit us TO enjoy that thought
without disturbance.

The result Of the recent efforts to
furnish trained officers for the army
by increasing the number of cadets at
West Point is shown in the size OF
the class entering the Military Acad-
envy this year. This class, the fourth
or the "plebe. numbers 8Os. the larg-
est ever admitted to the institution
and about half the former size Of the
entire cadet corps.
One Of the first preparedness meas
ures to receive the approval of both
Houses OF Congress was the bill
passed IN April authorizing the in
crease OF cadets to approximately
double the number then at the acad-
emy The size Of the corps was at
that time $50; the new provision was
to increase it to 1900 or 1900, the
peace strength Of regiments, and to
bring into service each year about 300
West Pointers for the regular army
and for the training Of militia.
To effect this change a new method
Of appointment of cadets was author
lied. Two cadets instead of one
were to be sent from each Congress
sional district and Territory; four
from each State at large and eighty
from the United States at large. twen-
ty Of whom were to be recommended
by the President as honor graduates
from military institutions. Provisions
were also made for appointments from
the National Guard and the regular
army
A class Of 30s represents in num-
bers almost the size of the corps
during the West Point service of
many comparatively young men in the
army The largest number Of gradu-
ates in any class from 1858 TO 1901
was seventy-seven, the membership Of
the class Of 1886 Next to this was
seventy-six in 1877. Only thirty-severl
were graduated in 1884 and the class
did not number at entrance more than
sixty Congressman of many districts,
especially in the North and West, had
no little difficulty in those years in
securing desirable appointees. The
severity Of the discipline and the
standard of excellence required in
mathematics and engineering were
deterrents to boys who found oppor-
tunities Of successful careers in civil

The shipping bill OF which Secre-

moter. and which was endorsed by the
St. Louis platform with some quail

been finally made a party measure by
the Democratic caucus Of the Senate
and as such viii receive the support
Of Democratic Senators heretofore op-
posing il
The opposition Of Senator Clark Of
Arkansas and his party colleagues
who agreed with him was conciliated
by amendments to which the Associa-
ted Press report refers as "of a minor
nature" They are not such, how
ever. as some Of them remove ohvi-
Gus defects in the bill as it passed the
House, and others impose conditions
on government purchase and opera
tion of merchant vessels which de-
prve the scheme Of some features
which we're repugnant to common
sense
Among these changes the following
may be enumerated as of a character
minor"
THE government shall not pur-
chase any ship which flies the flag
of an European nation at war nor
any ship already engaged in Amer
lean trade unless It is about to be
Withdrawn from the trade
"No ship shall be acquired by the

These alterations render inapplica-
BILE some of the criticism we have moi
been mealy-mouthed in applying t.
the McAdoo scheme. AS first present

large public expenditures, but not ad

War SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, May 11-Special: The
French and German forces fighting
to the northwest of Verdun appar-
emily, for the moment at least. are
deadlocked. the Germans being un-
able to advance farther and French
attempts to expel the invaders from
captured positions being unavailable.
To the east and northeast of Yer
dun. where respectively violent in
fantry attacks and bombardments
have characterized the recent fight
ing, only intermittent cannonading Is
now going on.
The only infantry engagement re
ported anywhere along the French
front was launched by the Germans
against a French trench to the west
of Hill No. 304. The French. how
ever. brought into play their curtain
of fire and the Germans were unable
to debouch.
The Smelling by the Germans of the
Russians at the Ikskull ~bridgehead
on the eastern battle line. which has
been In progress for many days. still
continues. There has been artillery
activity on various other sectors of
the Russian front, but no infantry
maneuvers of Importance have been
reported.
The Russians in Armenia, how
ever have put down with heavy cas-
ualties a stubborn Turkish attack
and southeastward in the region of
Hush driven the ottoman forces
from their d~efenses in a mountain
chain. In addition the Russians OPP
Grating westward from the Persia

The Gorilla bridgehead and the
region around San MARITIME in the
Austro-Italian theater have been
heavily bombarded. At San MARITIME.
Vienna asserts that the Italians sui
fered heavy losses through the eXplo-
sion of an Austrian mine. Bombard-
ments have featured the fighting on
the other sectors OF this front.
Dispatches received in Paris from

on the Macedonian front. Semiof-
fetal advices from Berlin say that

Many people eve suspect their

these troubles often lead to dropsy or

tight playing by the score of / to o.
Morningside won the second, s TO s.
In the first game Wenig. of Morn
ingside, and Steele, of the univer-
sity. waged a pitchers battle. Steele
famed sixteen men and Wenig ten.
Wenig allowed the Coyotes only one
hit and Steele held the Methodists TO
a stingy three. Only two Morning
side men got to second base. The
winning score came in the tenth in
ming through a costly error of John
son, who lofted the ball from third
over the first baseman's head and let
Wheeler in.
The second game was marred by
many errorts on both sides. South
Dakota took eleven hits from North
rup, who pitched for Morningside.
Duncan and Mcclellan were on the
mound for the university. In spite
of the fact that the Coyotes got more
hits and made fewer errors than
their opponents they lost the game.
