no LOOKING BACKWARD.
British Conscrfption, IL 1t Comes
Comes to stay, Says Mr.. shaw.

London, Jan. 5l--Couscription should
not be introduced or resorted to without
the largest safeguards of liberty Of the
subject. II IL comes, 1t will come to stay.
There will be no going back to the vol,
untary system and, indeed. lawfully reg
ulated compulsion would be In many
ways less oppressive than the sort Of
anarchic ieompulsion that has produced
the alleged triumph Of volunteering since
the war began.
If the decision is for conscription iet
1t be faced, not as temporary expedient
but as an advance in social organization.
And let the citizen be guaranteed that
when his turn comes to serve he will
serve as a ckizen with az h's 'fsats tn-
tact. not as the Hessian serfs and Brit
ish wastrels OF the Prussianized British
army of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries had to serve.

THE construction of model National
Guard armory at Washington will prob
ably be recommended by the War De-
partment in the near future. This ac-
ton will come In the form OF a report
on the bill for the construction of an
armory for the District National Guard
at a cost not to exceed H,T0p,o0o.
The project is regarded as of more
than local Importance and is part OF the
general plan of increasing the efficiency
of the National Guard Of the country.
The officers on duty in the division OF
militia affairs are interested In the To-
cation of a modern srmory at WASH
ington. SO that II can be used In making
recommendations to the different States,
who have plans for the erection OF ar
mories under consideration.
In all probabili not only the officers
OF the division OF militia affairs. but the
members of the General stan Will be
consulted in making the plans of the
buildings if Congress authorizes its con-
struction. The passage OF the Militia
Pay Bill by Congress at this session
will practically Federaifze the militia,
and as a consequence the War Depart
ment will be called upon to prepare plans
for the training of the National Guard.
One of the most important parts of this
will be the providing OF scientincallS
constructed armories. The new District
armory will be used as sort OF an eN-
perimental station and on that account
will have all the modern features that
have been developed for National Guard
headquarters.
As the result of experiments at the
Washington Navy Yard, Rear Admiral
Strauss, chief of t Bureau of Ordnance.
will urge Congress to make appropriations
for an armor-piercing shell factory when
he appears before the House Committee
on Naval Affairs during this session Pri-
vate concerns have never been very keen
in seeking contracts for the manufacture
Of shells for the navy. The specifications
of the bureau have been so exactins and
there have been so many reflections that
the margin of profit on naval projectiles
has not been very wide.
Aside from this. the authorities at the
Navy Department have always been ap-
prehensive as to whether their secret
processes for projectiles have been eS~
posed in letting contracts to private
concerns. Not long ago the department
went into court to protect some of the
ordnance secrets and the naval author
tiles are of the opinion that they would

To be always ahead Of time is ono of the best
possible habits 1t avoids irritation in oneself and
in others. 1t tends to create in oneself poisc
tbs is very valuable carrying with it the sense OF
leisrey doing and OF case So many things that
we do, without being hard, we ourselves cause TO
seem hard through Hurried approach. II we
took plenty OF time over them, If we looked at
them with quiet mind, VIC should find most OF
the difficulties smoothing themselves away In
stead of being perplexed and troubled we should
feel the joy resulting from mastery.
The Washington herald., 1916-01-06

If we cannot enjoy stiffness, long continued,
too, we may be sure that something is wrong
We arc out of harmony On realizing our cond-
tion the best do is to stop our activities
for time and to learn to adopt ourselves to
quieter living. Till we reach the power to enjoy
stiffness we cannot live wisely and happily. 1t
is indeed precious possession. And once at
tanned it will pay us to keep it safeguarded The
best means is by testing ourselves with ,an interval
OF repose. If we find it difficult we may be aware
that something is threatening. We must let down,
we must quietly and easily invite harmony When
at last we do enjoy the interval must devote it
to at least few minutes thinking of what we are
doing, whether it is good and whether we are do
ing it in the right way. Soon we shall find our
thoughts and our actions making life pleasant So
much that seemed important will betray its unim-
portance. So much that we might have neglected
will present itself and invite to action Now that
the soul is receiving nourshment 1t will send
new vigor through all our being.

One of the arts of life is to be able to sit still
and to enj JOY. To the hurried people it is an art
almost unknown. The reason is that their hurry
ing keeps the springs of being troubled Even in
those moments when they forced to be still
they feel hurried The truth is that hurry has
the state where it seems impossible for them ever
to know peace The only peace they can achieve
is kind of sef-forgetfulness in hurry. The more
