ARMY OFFICER TAKES
ISSUE ON TRAINING
Questions Statement Of Mrs.
Post Against Military Edu-
h cation of Youth.

From a statement from Mrs. Louis r.
Post regarding her views on conscrip-
ton appearing In The Washington Times
nearly month ago arose an interesting
correspondence which sheds light ON
military training Of youth in European
Mrs. Post, wife Of the assistant secre-
tary Of labor. and a director OF the
Woman's Peace Party, gave a statement
TO The Times saying she does not favor
conscription, an issue upon which the
women OF Australia Will be called upon
to vote.
Following this statement II. II.
Sheets, secretary of the Association for
National Service, wrote Mrs. Post ask
ing her to join the association.
Mrs. Post replied. in part: "I object
to military training even more than I
object to conscription. I notica
that In your folder you allude TO milf
tary training before reaching the age
OF twenty-one. j presume that you are
aware that even Germany and France
the most militaristic nations of our
timemdo not favor military training Of
Mr.. Sheets thereupon wrote to the Sec
rotary OF War for information on the
military training In Germany and
France. After communicating with
several other officials to whom he was
Gen. Theodore Schwan. u. s. A.. retired.
which stated:
I'm your letter of yesterdays data
you direct my attention TO a statement
emanating from the 'women's Peace
Party that even Germany and France
do not favor the military training OF
the youth That such statements
should be permitted to go forth from
what might well be regarded as a re-
sponsible source Is amazing. Universal
military training for term Of years In
time OF peace in the ranks OF the reg
ular army at the age Of twenty has
been compulsory In Germany for con-
1iderably more than a century.
France and the other great states OF
Continental Europe long since follow
ed suit. The war of 1866. between Aus
tria and Prussia, the war OF 1901. and
the present war. between France and
Germany have all been fought out by
conscripts so trained. These facts suffi-
GENTLY demonstrate the absurdity of the
above cited statement. But II may be
added that long before the conscript
enters the ranks of the army q founda-
ton has. as a rule, been laid for his
training in the form of athletic exercises
of one kind or another in the public
schools. Particularly In this the case
in Germany and France"

Manlike Teeth of Ancient Ape.

Prof. A. G. Thacher, an eminent
British geologist, in an article in Sci
ence Progress, mentions the recent
discovery of the jaw of an ape which
has teeth more closely resembling hu-
man teeth than do those of the CHM
panzee and ourang-outang mans near-
est relatives in the animal world.
In these animals, and in all other
living species Of the ape, the cuspids
are much larger and longer than in
man. But in this ancient ape, which
lived, according to biologists, hundreds
of thousands of years ago, the cuspids
were small, like those of man. This
is regarded as an indication that the
development Of the cuspid teeth OF
apes resulted from the necessity for
their use in tearing off husks of nuta
and for like purposes.

Sc, also, was one CT the most COM
plete and successful cases OF roping
that any of the government agents
had ever attempted carried to a sue
cessful termination.
Peterson and Flavot were convicted
and sent to prison. The other men
were eventually liberated, because it
could not be shown that they had act
ually committed the crime of SNUG
Cling Their completely in conspir-
acy to smuggle at some time in the
future did not sufficiently impress the
Jury as to result in conviction But
the acquitted men will be so closely
watched that their opportunities for
wrongdoing will, in the future, be few.

until the negro went aboard, actually
carried out the stuff and was followed
to his principal. There was slip in
Philadelphia, however; the captain
got suspicious apd the opium was
thrown into the river.
Two months passed in this way.
All the time Gard and Peterson were
becoming more intimate. One day the
supposed retired glass manufacturer
confessed to the smuggler that he had
once made some easy money by back
ing some men who had a system of
beating the poolrooms. This, he said,
was in Vicksburg, Miss. The pool
rooms in that city got their returns
on the Memphis races on loop that
was relayed out Of New Orleans.
That is. the results were telegrap pied
from Memphis to New Orleans and
from there relayed to the smaller cit
les on Geographic loop. This caused
a delay of about four minutes. The
men whom Gard had backed had es-
tablished communication by telephone
between Memphis and Vicksburg and
got the returns in time to put down
bets ahead of the receipt of the pool
rooms information. Thus they made
the cleanup.
This not merely paved the way to
similar condolences on the part of
Peterson but gave him to understand
that Cards morals were none too puri-
tanical, and that he might be induced
to back other questionable enterprises.
Peterson evidently thought this
matter over thoroughly before acting,
for it was three days before he
touched on the subject. Then he
said:
II could show a man Of your sort an
investment that would pay him hun
dred per cent every month, If he were
looking for a chance to make money"
"Well, I am not looking for such a
chance" said Gard, "but If one should
drop into my lap might tie string
to it."
do you know anything about the
opium business?" asked the SNUG
gler.
mot thing" said Gard.
"Well can Of opium can be bought
for five dollars in Jamaica, and sold
for twenty-seven fifty in Philadelphia
"Thats a pretty good profit" said
the special agent; "but man would

have to get more than two or three
boxes past for it to amount to any
thing"
IF you had a trim little schooner
and someone to show you how to get
her past the authorities, and she was
loaded with opium to the gunwales,
you would not have to make a trip
every other week to keep in cigarette
money, would you?"
"Obviously not" assented the "capf-
talist."
"And you may have noticed all these
idle Cinnamon about Sing Foo's
place." continued the smuggler.
Somebody is going to get one hum
dred and fifty dollars apiece for run
ming those fellows into the states.
They are crossing in a steady stream
and getting past. It is but around the
corner of Cuba and hundred irlets
inviting. Twenty of the Chinks can
live in a space as big as dogs
house, and they feed themselves. It's
clear profit. The little schooner could
carry a score or so Of them every
trip"
TT looks like a good proposition on
paper" said Gard. IF it could be
demonstrated, 1t would easily get a
hacker. But the trouble with all such
schemes is that they are good on pa
per, but they can't be actually shown
upon the basis that business man
| with money demands
But this one can be shown" urged
the smuggler.
'That is the way you fellows with
fancy schemes always talk" argued
Gard. "You can make all the money
in the world if you only had the back
ing. Then a man with the money
comes along and says show me You
always fall down on the showing
Would you put up the price of a
