PREPAREDNESS FOR BOYS
A Middle West Camp Will Give Military
Training to High School Lads.
ro tho Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Six hundred high school boys Of the
Middle West will receive two weeks OF in
tensive military training in the camp to be
conducted by the Culver Military Academy
between May 10 and May 20. They will be
drawn chiefly from those towns and cities
which are contemplating the introduction o.
military training into their courses. The
plan is All extension of the camp in which
200 Indiana boys received the training last
year. and which had the official recognition
Of the State Department Of Education and
which was inspected and warmly approved
by General Leonard Wood.
Practically is the keynote Of the work,
which will include drills in close and OK
tended order, care and use Of the rifle, camp
making. sanitation, personal hygiene IN the
field, first aid: military customs and court
estes viii be covered by theoretical and prac-
teal instruction. The boys will lay out and
dig 500 yards OF trenches Of the most ap-
proved pattern and will learn the finding and
use of cover in field operations.
For purposes of instruction they will be
organized into companies Differed by the
trained senior cadets OF the academy under
the supervision Of tactical officers of the
school
In the beginning each boy will be assigned
to one Of the old cadets for personal instruc-
ton in the first principles of the drills.
Marches, all night camps under field cond-
tons and battle mannuyres, with the use OF
artillery. cavalry. signal corps. machine guns
and wireless, will round out the instruction.
Competent observers from the army and
from civilian life who saw the boys last year
and who also witnessed the work OF the camps
at Plattsburg and Fort Sheridan say that
the high school boys achieved more in the
two weeks than did the business men in
four. They come at the right age to receive
impressions that last, they have individual
instruction and they have the example Of the
highly trained cadet corps of Culver as a
stimulus.
In many cities the chambers of commerce
have undertaken to pay the expenses of the
boys who come at cost in order that the COM
munitics may also have the full allotment Of
free boys, who are admitted on the basis
Of ono for every two at cost The actual cost
for those who pay is only SIZE for sub
sstence and uniform. +. l.. HUNT.

The Lusitania Warrington Anniversary

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: One year ago to-day there appeared
in the press OF this country an advertisement
in the form Of a notice addressed to the
American public, signed Imperial German
Embassy, Washington, ID. c. That adver-
tisement was published next to that OF the
Cunard Line containing announcement of the
sailing that day on the Lustania. The of
fetal spokesman Of Germany in this country
announced a week later, upon tho news Of
the destruction OF the Lusitania becoming
known. that the German Embassy's notice
had been published purposely next to that
of the sailing of the Lusitania.
Several months earlier the American gov
eminent had notified the government repre-
scented here by the signatory Of the advertise
ment that Americans had an undoubted right
10 travel upon the high seas on belligerent
passenger vessels and that for any infringe
ment of that right Germany would be held to
"strict accountability" The German En-.
bassy's notice called upon Americans to dis
regard the definition of their rights by their
own government and be governed by con
Trajectory definition emanating from the
German government.
Those Americans who sailed despite the
notice of the German Embassy did so believ-
ing that their governments word was as
good as its bond and not only that strict
accountability" would be exacted for any in
jury done them, but that no government on
earth could with impunity in1ct upon the
American government the incredible indig-
nifty which consists in having the representa-
tive Of a foreign government within our Dor
dcrs lay down for Americans, regarding their
conduct and rights, rules contradicting those
publicly laid down by the American govern
mont itself. They sailed believing that in
half the time which it would take their ship
to reach European waters the notice of the
German Embassy would be recalled or the
German Ambassad dismissed and American
rights indicated MAURICE LEON.

Eusion's Fine Record.

Mayor Mitchell termed his report Of the
Administrations work for 1915, submitted
on Tuesday night to the Committee of lO7
which evolved the fusion ticket, "the rec
ord of year of earnest labor for city
in whose service we take deep and hearty
pride" 1t is a record in which the city
may take a deep and hearty pride, for 1t
shows honest, intelligent and capable ad-
ministration, diligent and persistent work,
and sufficient vision, sufficient idealsm to
make it certain that what has been done
is a solid foundation for future work. II
shows achievements important in them
selves, but doubly important to the public
because they establish standard of SER
vice below which any future adminlstra-
ton will fall to its shame.
Primarily this was due to the fact that,
as the Mayor said, the Board of Estimate
worked as a unit TO put the citys affairs
on a sound business basis, and the depart
ment heads co0perated splendidly in this
teamwork. The result of that was shown
in reduction of the cost of city government,
notable extensions and i'm
provements in department service. Ad-
ministrative expenses of the city have
been cut by the present administration
more than $4,000 900. The budget for 1916
was about $4,000 less than that for 1915
that is, the total of allowances for city
expenditures; but nearly $14,000,OOO had
to be added to meet the direct state tax.
It was no fault of the city administration
that this huge sum had to be included.
Mavor Mitchell did his utmost to convince
the state authorities that the proposed
tax was unnecessary-a contention IN
which. as he Justly says, he is now borne
out by the condition of the state treasury.
Out of that fight grew the campaign for
relief of the city from financial plumber
ing by Albany which already has produced
bills which will mean the transfer of some
100000 annually from the city taXpay-
ers' shoulders to the state. and brought
forth a programme backed by well-de-
fined public sentiment, which in time will
he made into laws relieving the taxpayers
here of about $4,000 900 a year
If the city had anything approaching
real home rule, administrative reforms for
which Albany's permission had to be asked
would now be in effect and most of this
saving would be begun. Unfortunately
that is still to be accomplished. 1t is no
small accomplishment, however, to have
brought home TO the public Of the metropolis
the idea that however able and honest and
economical the local administration may.

Sir: I wish to thank you for your able edi-
,orial entitled British Failure" published in
Mondays paper
1t seems TO me that the arrogance and
ignorance Of England have never been more
clearly demonstrated than in this terrible
war.
II England were really fighting for the cause
Of humanity she would stop this hopeless
struggle with 2 superior foe, and for the sake
of bleeding France and HELPLESS Russia would
make an honorable peace.
But she will not do so because she does not
wish to yield her place in Europe to Germany,
to admit that in any way Germany could be
superior TO herself.
Pride. not love Of humanity. is prolongng
this terrible war
Moreover. the Uaitcd States will one day
awaken to the fact that England has no real
love for her, but has been using her as a
catspaw to further her own ends. for England
is at heart the most selfish nation in the

Exit "Harper's Weekly"

That venerable relic "Harper's Weekly
has been doomed so long that surprise at
its death flows wholly from the discovery
that it had been so lately alive. The mag
azine was in the last stages of dissolution
when it passed from Colonel Harvey to
Norman Hapgood. The latter was sue
cessful only in showing how many differ
ent kinds of a weekly publication he could
make badly. The one consistency in its
character, its implicit, large-eyed adora-
ton of the President, as a figure and in
detail, was scarcely needed to perfect It's
fate.
A precarious field the weekly publication
has become in these hasty days. To be
sure there IS "The Saturday Evening
Post to show how swiftly the great
American people can be made to respond
by the million TO the wanted stimulus. And
The New Republic" goes on its careful
way with a slowly growing public and suf-
hclent reasons for existence. But the
general field for the more serious weekly.

to grow. For better or for worse. we con-
unue a nation of newspaper readers in our
