Military Training Makes
For Physical and
Mental Strength
By HOWARD H. GROSS. Publicist

\ T the close of the civil war, with
"A one million soldiers flushed
with victory and their idol,
General Grant, elected to the presi-
dency, it was believed by many that
he would be the last president and
that a military dynasty would fol-
low.
This army had saved the nation
in a crisis and was in a position to
work its will. This army, however,
melted into civil life like an April
snow. Thus we passed safely the
only TIME IN OUR HISTORY
WHEN MILITARY DONNA
TION SEEMED AT ALL POSI-
BILE.
Such military training as is pro-
posed by the Chamberlain bill will
rebuild American manhood into
strength and virility. 1t will give
the youth of our land at the time
when it is most needed that disci-
pline and training that make for
physical and mental strength; will
teach obedience to law and duty to
the government.
1t will safeguard our future and
be worth many times its cost. If
such training had been our policy
for the last half dozen years, in this
crisis it would have saved us billions
of dollars.
IT WOULD SHORTEN THE WAR
AND SAVE AN ENORMOUS SACRI-
FlcE OF BLOOD AND TREASURE
THAT MUST NOW BE MADE.

Piano, Organ, String Instruments.
Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
muscles forever. A fortune is within
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be we'll tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.

German Autocracy and
Civilization Cannot
Live Together
By LOUIS RAEMAKERS, Famous Dutch
Cartoonist

By LOUIS RAEMAKERS, Famous Dutch
Cartoonist
VOU do not realize it, perhaps,
i but America is now the pivotal
point of the war, the center of
gravity. Formerly it was in Eng
land. Now it is in the United
States.
Long before the war l knew what
was going to happen when it came,
for | knew them. Germany has two
souls. One is the one with which
they meet their friends, with which
they live. The other is the one that
they devote to the nation. They
have been schooled from the time
they were children to do what the
nation required, NO MATTER
HOW DIRTY AND MEAN 1T
MIGHT BE.
Germany says, "Think as l do OF
l will make you" She also says.
81 understand all peoples, but nc
one can understand me-"
Germans believe that they are or
dained Of God to rule the world.
They are convinced that they az
hundreds Of miles above the rest OF
mankind. As long as they hold this
belief the world cannot live will
them.
AS LONG AS THEY SUBORDl-
NATE THEIR OWN SOULS TO THE
DEMANDS OF THEIR NATION
EITHER THEY OR CIVILIZATION
MUST SUcCUM6.

Self Respect Of the
Soldier Is Vital to
His Success
By Major General LEONARD WOOD,
u. S. A.

By Major General LEONARD WOOD,
U. S.. A.
VOUNG men in officers training
i camps must always remember
that, while discipline must be
strict and the performance of duty
rigidly insisted upon, all this can be
accomplished without destroying the
self respect of the soldier and that
the performance of official duty
should always be marked by self
control and courtesy. Nothing is
gained and much is lost if these are
not always maintained.
The self respect of the soldier is
vital to his success. Destroy this
and you have a man with a poor
spirit and consequently a poor SOL
der and an army which will never
go through to the end. The most
cordial and friendly relations be-
tween officers and men can exist
without any loss of official status or
control on the part of the officer.
IN DEVELOPING THE ARMIES OF
THE REPUBLIC THIS MUST AL.
WAYS BE BORNE IN MIND.
If officers want the highest degree
of efficiency they must themselves
be in the highest degree efficient.
They must place upon every man
who COMES UNDER THEIR
COMMAND THE IMPRESS OF
DUTY AND LOYALTY.

French Soldier
WOU may be sure that our desire

N0U may be sure that our desire
! to have the American forces
enter the lists with their lines
of communication as solidly estab-
lished as are those of the British is
as keen as that of Americans them
selves.
l cannot see how Germany can
hold out longer than the end of next
year at most. She Is not starving,
but her shortage of raw materials is
increasing daily and must increase
by leaps and bounds when the effect
Of the American governments
measures preventing supplies reach
ing her through contiguous neutrals
begins to be lelt. The pressure of
the little troubles endured by her
people is growing stronger from day
to day.
Today their rulers are trying to
convince them that American inter
yention in the war IS worthless.
THE FACT is, OF COURSE. THAT
THE UNITED STATES ALREADY

AND WHEN THIS SINKS IN UPON
THE GERMANS THEIR CUP OF BIT

kindergarten Training.

The increasing growth of kindergar-
tens in this country has recently been
remarked by the United States commits
sioner of education. who said with
in the last six or seven years there has
been more progress in the establish
ment of kindergartens in cities, towns
and industrial villages of this country
han in any previous period of equal
length. This is especially true of
kindergartens supported by public
school funds. This progress has been
largely due to the activities of the Ma
tional Kindergarten association"
The kindergarten course secures to
the child an extra year of education,
and as the boys and girls of this coun
try average only a little over five years
in school the value of this additional
training cannot be overestimated.

We Ave Fighting For
Human Justice and
Democracy
By Bishop CHARLES D. WILLIAMS
of Michigan

TT seems that many of us had come
L to believe our keeping out of
the war was proof that we were
better than other nations; that we
were untouched by the lust of con-
quest. Over there men and nations
have been finding their souls in the
stress of conflict. THEY ARE
LIVING FOR DIFFERENT
THINGS FROM THOSE WE ARE
LIVING FOR.
France says less, does more and
stands for higher things than any
nation in the world. The war has
saved England from the decadence
that threatened her national soul.
Men are clinging with the tenacity
of desperation to the things which
cannot be shaken.
We have entered the war, and |,
for one, thank God that we have
done so. No one can question our
motives. We are fighting for hui
mar justice and for democracy.
For us this is a war of ideals. 1t is
a holy war, if any war can be holy.
Let America today and during the
years of the war be the flaming, in
carnate conscience of the world. 1t
may be a long war, and the best
way to make it a short one is to pre-
pare for a long a

Work the Roads

One of the most pressing questions in
the working of the neighborhood roads
Usually the main thoroughfares are
taken care of the county or township
authorities; but there are many cross
country and neighborhood roads that
never see the road overseer and his
crew. These are up to the people
themselves to keep in passable condi-
ton.
In years>past our people were pos
sessed of the notion that the care of a
public thoroughfare was matter for
the state or county entirely, and that
personally we need not concern our
selves further than to pay our taxes or
contri butte our assessed quota of labor
Of late, however. we are awakening
to the fact that the roads are our roads
and that neglect of them is neglect of
our own property. They are one of
our greatest assets, more especially if
they be good roads. They are doubly
important jnst at this time, when the
item of transportation is one of the
greatest questions confronting the
country.
The urge has gone out from Wash
ington that the American people use
their best endeavors, that every effort
be made to count. From one end of
the land to the other the crops will
soon be moving over the country roads
If these roads are what they should be.
motive power will be expended to the
best advantage; if these crops are
dragged through mud, gullies, and
ever rocks and stumps, much of the
motive power will be wasted-and
"waste" is the one word we are urged
to eliminate from our vocabulary.

Lawlessness N

There is much food for thought in the
lawlessnes in different parts of the
country. Are we as a people losing re-
spect for the law? Are we losing sight
of the fine ideals we have cherished for
century and half? Or is the unrest
so prevalent in other parts of the world
communicating itself to us?
The most disquiting feature of these
outbreaks of lawlessness is not that
they should have occurred, but that
they should occur just at this time,
when the country needs to be united 10
heart and soul as never before.
In times of peace and calm the good
sense and ordiliness of the people
would not have tolerated the causes
which led up to the disturbances. With
the minds of the people on other mat
tiers these causes have been permitted
to flourish.
While we are proposing to make
great sacrifices for freedom, let US mo-
permit growth within our body poll
tic that is calculated to nuliify ant
make impotent that freedom.
Let us set our own house in order.

is really they who pay the debt at last,
and not he, Furthermore, for tn cir
payment they have a tangible asset in
the shape of the institution, which
stands ready to do for their children
what it has for them.
We might add that this principle
holds good in all departments of civic
mprovement-the genera ton that ben
fits most il usually the one that does
most of the paying.
So that, summoning up the matter
from sensible and practical point of
view, no town can afford to be without
needed improvements from a mistaken
fear of injustice to future generations
on account of bond issues.
