ing of Youths AS
Never Before
ARE TAUGHT TO
MASTER THEMSELVES
Advice To America Is To
Train Men To Think For
Themselves
CBy Associated Press.)

A Place in England, July 16.-
(MaiD British military authorities
are convinced that the day of the
superman has arrived. and that the
part he is to play in ending the war
and regenerating the world cannot
be overestimated.
A representative of The Associated
Press has been permitted to visit a
great. training school and obtained
an insight to the remarkable change
brought about in the British View
point in the last three years.
The British not only are putting
forth all their energy in perfecting
their fighting forces but are earnest
ly devoting themselves to the devel-
opment of their youth In a manner
calculated to fit them for any and all
eventualities which may arise in the
years to come.
: IL the Germans cherished the idea
of eliminating Britain as a world
power, Britain 1t is said. far from
being beaten now sees with a clear
-er.,yision than ever before. and Is
preparing to turn the scales against
her adversary in such a way as they
may never again Swing DdGh.
Taught To Live Better Lives.
While statesmen are being made or
unmade with the changing fortunes
of war, the great silent forces Of a
nation proud OF its traditions and
thoroughly aroused to its own short
comiRgs are constantly marching in
an almost endless chain from train
ing schools to battle fronts and back
again. Stretched over miles of roll
ing hills is the schools wherein
hundreds of thousands OF British
youths are being taught to master
themselves as one of their instructors
expressed 1t $50 that they be better
prepared to master their enemy and
live their lives as they would live
them.
"Use your eyes and your brains"
is the new British watchword which
is being instilled into the British
youths with all the force at the COM
mand of their superiors.
Learn Lesson From War.
I'VE are training our men to be-
lieve in themselves" said the gen

than his antagonist, but he must be

lesson we have learned from the
world war"
AS the average Britisher is natur-
ally a sportsman, his games are be-
ing made to play an important part
in his training. In shooting, bomb
ing, and ali the various arts of war
fare these are proving invaluable to
him. .-a
With a single eye to their tasks
the British have established elab-
crate systems Of trenches wherein
the young men are taught every
method of present day
warfare. Young officers and others
recommended for promotion are reg
ularfy brought back from the front
for intensive training OF from ten
to twenty days so that they may re-
turn to the front and instruct their
units. In this way, the
British argue, their men never be-
come stale" and are ever At and
ready for any emergency.
The methods the British would
impart to their American allies was
as follows:
2 Train your young men to be
and mentally strong-trafn
them to think for themselves-make
them supermen in the modern sense
-and the. world viii be made safe
for democracy"
