M TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL IN
FORMATION BUREAU,

The widespread evidence of a. SEN
fIment which demands that the troops
OF each state shall be maintained in
separate and distinct units is com
mendable as being born of state
pride. But sentiment cannot be de-
pended upon TO win wars. Hard and
persistent fighting is necessary The
chances of victory probably will be en-
HANGED II the arrangement of mill
tary forces be left in the hands of mil
itary men. The demand which is be-
ing made on the war department is
without precedent. The largest state
unit in the civil war was the reg1-
rnent II was not unusual to find brig
AIDES composed of not more than one
regiment from any given state. The
interest being taken in the matter by
the governors of various states may
arouse suspicion that there is pol
itics in the agitation. The federal war
board is responsible for the success of
our arms in France aud it seems to be
the part OF wisdom to allow that body
TO pursue its own course, unhamper-
ed by popular clamor.

males that the school courses were no
longer considered necessary.
Nevertheless, private organizations
continued to organize schoolboys into
battalions of military character,
teaching them to drill and shoot
They are known as the Jugendwehren
Juvenile military organizations
Sometimes the boys are taken on long
marches, put through field exercises,
and are taught certain army maneu-
vers, while other corps specialize on
one thing, such as swimming or shoot
ing. The Boy Scout movement in
Germany has always been more mill
tary than in any other country. There
they are called "pfadfinder"-path
finders. Their uniform is similar to
that of the American Boy Scout, but
the activities are different. When the
Pathfinder plays, he is a soldier.
When he goes for tramp with his
troop, he carries a trench spade or
pick; when he camps he must learn
to cook his own food, to stand GER
tain tests of endurance, to give first
aid, to trail imaginary enemies, and
to become familiar with paths thru
the mountains and forests-ali TO a
purpose The Pathfinder will ulti-
mately be soldier.
Since the war the Jugendwehren
are said to be redoubling their efforts
in organizing and training schoolboys.
Before it was merely a precaution;
now. it is necessity. They will soon
be needed to take the places of their
fathers in the trenches.
1t is impossible in the space Of one
short article to review the youthful
military training systems of every
country. But do any or all of these
examples help to answer the ques-
ton as to whether it is good for the
boy as well as the nation?
All of those in favor of it will tell
you that there is nothing like mill
tary training to build up both a boys
physique and his character. Those
opposed to it will tell you that it will
tend to kill his individuality.

1ect upon which the reader desires in

One is careful to observe the ordin-
airy courtesies in civilian life. People
would soon make themselves often
sive to all their friends if they were
ia the habit of passing them with
cold stare or discourteous nod
The customary rules of good breed
ing apply in a slightly different form
in the army. There is the same reason
for them in the army as in civil life.
Courtesy helps to make the great army
machine run more smoothly. 1t is the
outward sign that the right relations
exist among officers and men.
These right relations should be Civ
en- expression both within the military
camp and outside. Courtesy among
military men is indispensable to dis
cipline; respect to superiors will not
be confined to obedience on duty, but
will be extended on all occasions"
The obligation to show proper
courtesy is binding upon officers just
as well as upon men. The command
ing general of the army is required
to be courteous to you. Just as you are
required to be courteous to him.

The ogly way to cure wives of their
Jealousy of their husbands business
is to take them into it and make them
partners in it and let them do some
OF the work and bear some of the bur-

plan where every middle class woman
tolls SIDE by side with her husband,
and it works out beautifully, both as
regards prosperity and domestic peace
and happiness.

Toppy Cottontail Sees a New Bird.
Toppy Cottontail ran across the
edge of Shadow Wood and on down
to the open space at the edge of Look
ing Lake. II don't know what makes
me so sure L want to come here this
morning" he said to himself doubt
fully. But all the same I know
want to come" He looked around
the lake but not a single interesting
thing did he see.
Silly of me-" he laughed, might
have known enough to stay in the
corn field on day like this. I'll go
back there right
But he didn't finish his sentence
because just at that minute he heard
a sound behind him-a sound that
seemed to say, got, got, got, got,
got" real quietly but. very surely.
Hump" thought Toppy, maybe
there is something interesting here
after all; L guess I'd better hide be-
hind that bush and see who that was
talking"
Now Toppy is very quick and clever
at noticing things and he was pleased
as could be with the idea of havin :
something interesting to watch and
discover He hoped, ipity, ipity. OPP;
ipty, ipty, op over to the nearest
BUSH hid himself snugly behind the
dry branches and then looked towards
where the sound had come.
And what do you suppose he saw =?
A beautiful golden flicker, digging,
digging into the ground.
Now Toppy didn't know that fitch
er; he didn't remember ever hearing
of him. So of course he had no idea
what the flicker was doing there or
what he was saying. He only knew
that it sounded like, got, got, got,
got, got!'
He thinks he has some wonderful
find hnTr rf1f hot LOT -
see! 1 wonder who he is and what
he's after?"
You remember that Toppy isn't a
very good waiter; his stock of pa
thence is soon used up. Instead of
sitting there behind his bush and
waiting till he learned what the flick
er was doing, he decided right off, that
he would ask somebody.

GERMAN PEACE TERMs.

Germany 8 first peace proposal, as
announced by the imperial chancellor,
was to re-establish Belgium independ-
ence in return for the restoration of
her lost colonies. Meeting with no
favorable response. she now proposes
to evacuate Belgium and help pay the
damage done by her armies in that
country. If she be permitted to retain
e foothold in Antwerp.
In proposing to re-establish Belgian
Independence in return for the res
toration OF the German colonies, the
imperial chancellor. says the New
York Journal of Commerce, raises a
question which must be dealt with in
its international aspect rather than in
its bearing on the interest of any in
dividual power or group of powers. 1t

OF Belgium rests on a wholly differ

japanese seizure of the German colon

Of a contemptuous disregard for
treaty obligations. and its continuance
has been marked by a long series of
acts of brigandage. barbarity and un-
bridled license. The other came as
acts OF war. in violation of no law,
and without any outrage on the die
tates Of humanity.
There can he no discussion of peace
terms which is not preceded by the
German evacuation OF Belgium; there
may. and probably will be terms i'm
posed on Germany which do not in
clude any retrocession of her colonies
II Is a mistake 10 assume that this is
a question wholly. or even chiefly, be-
