 In former years many recruits were more or less sports who enjoyed the convivial life of encampments Of recent years the work has grown so- ber and serious. less attractive to such men, But it has often been necessary to depend on fellows of very medi- ocre ability, who entered the service vacatfon.
 Our. forces need the best type of recruits to be found. The business community would suffer infinitely ibv war. It will be cheaper to sacrifice a little through absence of employees at camps, than to run the risk of war. resulting from lack of reasonable preparation.

GENERAL PETAIN

This was has resulted in the down. fall of many military heroes of the past. but 1t has brought compensation in the development of new geniuses. One of the most illustrious of the lat ter is General Philippe Petain. At the outbreak of the conflict Petain com rnanded a brigade. He was soon made the leader of a division, then of an army corps, and finally of an army. The defender of Verdun, who was re- gently given the grand cross of the Legion of Honor, the most valued medal within the gift of the French government, has just passed his fifty eighth milestone. He was born at Cauchy-1a-Tour, near the English Channel. He entered the army as a boy, but was practically unknown when the Germans invaded France He had been a colonel but short time, but he was almost immediately advanced to the rank of brigadier gen era1 Within two months of the be- ginning of hosti1ities he was again promoted and made general of division. In October he was the conn mander of an army corsp, and won distinction in several important en- gagements. Last June he was made commander of the Second Army, hav- ing been acting commander for several months previously. Except for the war Petain would in all probability have retired from active service with, the comparatively humble rank of colonel. On the special roll of the Legion of Honor this inscription re- fers to General Petain: Thanks to his calm firmness and the ski1lfulness of his dispositions, he knew how to re- trieve a delicate situation and inspire conscience in all. He has thus rend- cred the country most conspicuous services, Petain has not permitted his success to enlarge his head, and there is nothing of ponap or display at his headquarters. He is a favorite with the privates because of his af- liability and democratic spirit.

RICH SHOULD
 PAY FOR DEFENSE

That the cost of national prepared ness against possible war should be extracted from the pockets or the wealthy is the interesting proposal of Prof Samuel McCune Lindsay, inter nationally noted as a sociologtst and professor of social legislation at Co., 1umbia University. Prof. Lindsay was born in Pittsburgh forty-seven years ago today, and was educated at the University of Pennsylvania, with post graduate courses at Berlin, Vienna, Halle, and Rome. Prior to his ac- ceptance of the chair of social legis- lation at Columbia he was professor of sociology at the University of PennsyIvania, managing editor of the college paper The Pennsylvanian, and a special agent of the United States government in European i'm vesti igations and in domestic labor in quiries.
 Prof. Lindsey holds that to make the wealthy pay for national defense would be an excellent way to limit private fortunes and to enforce the obligations of social responsibility up- on the possessors of bloated bank ac- counts.
 fense-and I, for one, believe that we do-it is the sort of thing that should be wholly paid for out of large fortunes" said Prof. Lindsay. '"The large holdings of property represent the greatest need for preparedness. They have the most at stake and they should bear the cost.''
 Prof. Lindsay also -avors the pass ing of laws maintaining a. decent stan dard of living for all, a minimum wage, and other social desirabilities, and that the rich should be made to foot the bills for the cost of such legislation and it's enforcement.
 fLet every man enjoy the game of moneymaking,'' is the Lindsay economic creed, ''but let him realize that for every stage he rises in play ing the game successfully, his respon- abilities increase"
 Prof. Lindsay is the author of sew eraI sociological works, beginning his literary career with 'Die Preisbewe- gung der Edelmeta1le,'' written while he was a student in Germany.

nurrER MEN TOR VOLUNTEERS

The critical situation with Germany. not much improved by the recent note, brings right up to the business com 1nunity the question what it will do to eo-operate in the cause of military efficiency The business man who complains of the lack of this efficiency is often the same who won't let his employees be absent at encampme ments.
 It is pleasant to note that many business houses now take broader view A dry go9ds store of Boston has just offered ten men a month at camp with full pay and help on trans portation and equipment If that spirit shall prevail generally, Uncle Sam will soon have force that would cause any aggressive power some seri- ous thinking.
 If National Guard officers were ask ed what is the greater obstacle they meet, they would be apt to say that It is the difficulty in getting high class men for recruits. Of course there have always been plenty of good men in the force. fellows Of mettIe. chivaT- ry and patriotism. But this ideal @vpe Is none too common.
