The reformists who precipitated the
destruction purely because of his in
dividual refusal to acquiesce in their
demands for wide electoral reforms
and for pledge that Germany's peace
aims do not contemplate annexations.
Then later dispatches reported that
the Center party revolters and the rad
icals who joined with them to assume
control in the reichstag were opposed
to Hollweg's retirement, being fearful
that his successor would be even less
amenable to reform influences than
Hollweg
Dispatches received from Berlin,
having been delayed by censor, en-
phasized that if Hollweg yielded to the
reichstags demands for parliamentary
reform, there was no reason for him
to resign on account of inability to
agree with the parliament on the ques-
ton of peace aims.
This would seem to indicate that
Hollweg has fatty refused the parlia-
mentary reform program.
BEFORE receipts Oh the OHclal COIL
firmation of Hollweg's retirement the
newspaper Germania was quoted in
dispatches here as asserting his fall
twas inevitable, since the Junkers,
headed by the crown prince, were
gaining the upper hand in the situa-
ton"
The Germania is the Center party's
official organ. In this connection 1t
was pointed out that the crown prince
has been actively comforting for two
or three days in Berlin. and that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and Quarter
master General Ludendorff, the two
arch-apostles of militarism, had been
recalled to Berlin from the front, for
the second time in a week
OF collateral interest were dispatch
es from Switzerland indicating great
unrest and uneasiness in Austria-Hun-
gary due to the German internal strife
coming at time when Russia is pow
erfully smashing the Austrian lines.

THE NECESSITY OF GOING OVER
DETAILS.

While allowing the difficult details
Of squad movements to sink into his
mind, the new soldier would do well
at this point to look back over the
ground he has traversed. He should
refresh his mind, so far as necessary,
upon what he has previously learned,
and he will at once discover a differ
ence between his present grasp of
military facts and their requirements.
The more he learns, the more reason
able, necessary and Illuminating be-
comes that which he has already
learned.
For example, the new soldier who
has been taught how to execute
squad right" does not need the same
amount of explanation for the neces-
sity of discipline and obedience as at
the beginning. He realizes by this
time that no squad movement would
be possible unless each individual
were subject and responsive TO dis
cipline. He does not have to be taught
the reason for learning to stand prop
erly, since he sees that no squad could
dress its line in a practical military
fashion unless each individual first
came to attention. This does not
mean that the new soldier-and even
the partially trained soldier-will not
find it necessary again and again to go
over the details of how to perfect him
self In these essentials; but 1t is doubt
full whether he would hereafter have
to be told why.
He has learned how to stand, how
to step forward, backward, sideways,
the half-step-and to mark time. He
has learned how to face in any direc-
tion-right face, left face, about face,
and half face, which creates the prop
er angle for the obllque march. He
has learned how to start the Forward
MARCH," how to stop-the
HALT, in two counts; how to execute
the commands altering the direction of
March.
He has been instructed in some of
the elementary military courtesies,
such as the all-important salute, and
he has learned the way in which COM
mands are given. He has by this time
come to lean on the peremptory COM
mand as a necessity and through this
his mind and muscles are automatically
made ready, In time, for the COM
mand of execution. With the excep-
ton of few single commands, such as
"fall in," Eat ease" and "rest"-a
special class-he will find that his
faculties depend upon the preliminary
notification of what they are to do
In order to do them precisely at the
moment of performance.
All this will have become clear to
the new soldier IL he has familiarlzed
himself with the drill as far as the
point of squad movements. He will
find that his muscles would subcon-
sciously resist command of execution,
without the preparatory notice of what
is expected Of them. This affords them
chance to gather themselves into
balance for the most effective dis
charge of the command, and this bal
ance, operating subconsciously, is a
big factor In the making of the good
soldier.

LAW TO SCRAP HEAP?
wichita Contests Amendments To
Bond Election Measure Here.

Another act of the 1917 legislature
may go to the scrap heap An action
by the Wichita school board TODAY will
test the operation OF a few frills and
1urbeioWs which the legislature tackled
on the bond election law during the
law making session of last winter
The action concerning the new law
was brought in the supreme court to-
day when the Wichita school boarc
sought writ of mandamus to compel
the city mayor to issue proclamation
to hold a special election to issue
$3.50, 1000 worth of bonds for the cree
ton and equipment of new school
buildings. The school board passed
the resolution providing for the cleo
ton, but the mayor refused to call
the election.
Under the action as filed today the
supreme court will determine the OPP
Grafton of the new law limiting the
amount of bonds to be issued by
boards of educations in cities of the
first class. 1t is alleged this law inter
feres and conflicts with laws already
on the statute books. In the case from
Wichita both sides have entered into
an agreed statement of facts. AS
result of this action by the litigants,
the supreme court advanced the case
for hearing December 8.
Claims by the Wichita school board
are to the effect that schools are
crowded, more room is needed and an

The ambassador said he considered
himself duty bound to remain at his
post and would do so with COM
petent staff of assistants. While eX-
pressing the belief that the true
spirit of Russia was bound to arise he
said it was evident that until condl-

other fields for their activity.

lowing the resignation of three of the
chief officers of the embassy to avoid
having relations with the Bolshevlkl

DEATH FOR DESERTER
Teutonic Soldiers in L. S. Army Tried
to Join the Enemy.

Washington, Nov 24.-Sentence of
death before a rifle squad has been
imposed by a courtmartial upon an
enlisted man of the American army
in the United States on his conviction
of desertion with intent to join the
enemy forces. 1t was learned today
at the war department, however. that
officials here are not satisfied with the
evidence adduced before the court
that intent to Join the enemy was es-
tablished and that the trial court has
been asked for additional information
to clear up this point.
The soldier concerned is either of
German birth or descent, it is under
stood, altho details of the case, includ-
ing the prisoners name, are withheld
Inc sentence will not be executed I'M
til approval from Washington has
been secured because the desertion
was not in the face of the enemy
