WAR IN THE SCHooLS.-NIiH-
tary training in Chicago public
schools is to be voluntary - neces-
sarily so. But it means strife just
the same. Children Of parents who
believe in it will get orders from
home to volunteer. Children of
parents who don't believe in it will
be ordered NOT to volunteer. That
means that mighty few pupils will
have any freedom of choice. So
nothing will be voluntary on their
part. There will be feeling between
the boys who are ordered to vOlun-
teer and those who are ordered not
to volunteer. Some boys will drill
who don't want to drill, while others
who may want to drill won't be per-
mitted to. This will stir up envy,
contempt and other emotions and
will result in epithets and nick
names. School children will be di-
vided into two classes, and not be-
cause of any differences of opinion
of their own, but mostly because of
the differences of opinion between
their fathers. Instead of making for
peace, this voluntary preparedness in
the public schools will probably
make for war.

Attention is called to little caHs-

Most fires could have been pre-
vented by a little forethought
and care entirely out of proper

sulting from the lack of it" says
the warning. Instead of trust
ing to your luck, take the atti-
tude that your place will be the

steps to see that it doesn't. Or
dinary matches, greasy rags and
gasoline, when not handled with
intelligent care, trash accumu.

wires, will sooner or later make
trouble. 1t is impossible to list
here all the common causes of
fires which must be guarded
against, but any thoughtful man
can protect himself, his business
and his family by devoting a few
minutes each week or each
month to a personal inspection
of his premises. incidentally,
he should keep a watchful eye

1t is said that great ileet OF
underseas boats will soon put to
sea as commerce carriers, and
if they prove success the war
in Europe is likely to be longer
drawn out, sunless the allies can
crush the central powers before
they can reap from the advan-
tage established commerce with
the world at large will give them
providing of course some way Is
not found to discover and de
strey them. These under water
ships, it is said, can be easily
detected from an airship, and
if this be the case then these
sentinelS of the air may be able
to destroy the boats as fast as
they are sent to sea.

Dear Telegraph:
This is the glorious Fourth.
One hundred and fifty years ago
the Independence of the 13 orig
NAL colonies was declared and
Uncle Sam" was born.
Seventy years ago the first
war with Mexico began and it
seems now history is about to
repeat itself. Let US hope that
some honorable way to beat war
may be devised and the blood and
treasure of our common country
may be spared.
| am not one who wants
peace at any price" but | am
not in favor of war of conquest.
If nothing but the strong arm of
the L. S. can restore order in
blood soaked Mexico, why the
sooner our army comes across
the Rio Grande the better.
No one doubts the loyalty and
patriotism of our people and if
our beloved President should call
for a million volunteers the re
sponse would not deceive our cX
pectations. | hope it will not be
necessary but not a doubt of the
results if war should come cX-
lists in my mind. Our people all
lof the U. s. are ready to defend
our Government in any emer-
gency that may arise. The men
from Arkansas and Texas are
ready to march with the men
from Vermont and Mass. Our
people are united and ready to
defend the Nag of our country
whenever duty may call. No
doubt aboutit. The city of Gal
weston is bedeCked with the
National coors. The Star Span
gled Banner flies every where
and the bands play the national
airs on the Exposition grounds
and elsewhere throughout the
, city.
Vast throngs OF people are
pouring into Galveston by. the
railways, the interurban lines,
by automobile, by local steamers
and every hotel and public build
ing is over flowing with gaily at
tired humanity. The cotton car
nival is ON and every one seems
happy and on his best behavior.
The bathing is enjoyed by thou
sands and the beech and bOu-
levardS are thronged by flying
autos and the street cars are
crowded and every thing goes
merry as a marriage bell. The
| Texas State Bar Association is
in session and hundreds of law
verS are here. One would have
