OFFICERS FOR THE ARMY

MANY thousands Of officers will be needed for the
new United States armies. and candidates for these posi-
tons are now in training at various camps. while in the
. ruture another large group will be given the places

WORK, the training and selection of men for positions as
omcers, Is one OF the most important things in connec-
Ion with the organization of the forces.
Great Britain went into the war with a hastily i'm
proV1sed army In which the lack Of trained officers was
severely felt. In the regular army there were men who
'coula nave nlled these positions acceptably, but the blow
suFuck ny germany was so sudden and the emergency
was s. great that all Of the regular army that could he

NO GERMANlZED POLAND

The kaiser, in an excess Of generosity. undertook to
create a new Kingdom Of Poland out Of Polish territory
which he had taken from Russia. He said nothing about
the chunk that Prussia appropriated, nor about the slice
that fell to the lot Of Austria. He was willing to permit
those Poles in the Russian kingdom to have a little king
dom of their own provided they would accept a king of
his choice and themselves fight in his armies.
For some reason the Russian Poles are not taking
kindly to this plan. AS subjects of Russia, they fought in
the Russian armies. AS, subjects Of a Teutonic king OF
Poland they are required to fight in the armies Of the
kaiser. And they do not like it So emphatic has been
their dissatisfaction with the arrangement that the Ger
mans have sought to force upon them that stern meas
ures are being taken to prevent them from walking out in
a body.
Still further, the Austrian Poles, those OF Galicia, ap-
pear to see no reason why, II there is to be a kingdom Of
Poland, they should not belong to it. The territory which
they occupy is a part of Poland. and they themselves are
Poles. They have been subjects Of Austria by force. Now
they propose to take the oath Of allegiance to. the gov
eminent of the new kingdom. eschewing the Austrian gov
eminent forever. This, of course. is unsatisfactory to both
the German kaiser and the Austrian emperor, and steps
are being taken to put a stop to 1t.
The German protestations Of interest in the welfare
of the little nations are pretty thin.

NO SUPPLIES FOR GERMANY

Seventy-fve Dutch ships, loaded with about 49,
100000 bushels Of wheat and corn, with quantities of
other freight, are lying at Atlantic ports, waiting for ex-
port licenses to be issued by the American government.
Until those licenses are issued the ships cannot move.
II they are issued, without arrangements which it will
be difficult to make, and which are not in sight at pres
ent, a large proportion Of that food stuff will either be
carried to Germany through Holland or will be used to
take the place of other commodities taken out of the
Dutch stores. Neither of these things can be permitted.
It would be suicidal folly for this nation to supply food
either directly or indirectly to, the nation with which
1t is at war. And it must always be remembered that
IN this war 1t Is nations that are at war, not merely
armies. The army is the striking arm, but it must be
supported and nourished by the whole body. To all in
rents and purposes the entire population Of all the war
ring countries in Europe is actively engaged in this war.
In England, for instance. the premier stated the other
day that not a single industry in the kingdom save that
OF agriculture is now conducted on an individual basis.
The rest are all organized, directed, and in many cases
actually operated by the government. The purpose of
this is that the energy of the people may be conserved
SO that there shall be no waste, and that every ounce of
1t beyond what is necessary for the bare subsistence of
the people shall be directed to the purposes of war.
In Germany the state is organized even more COM
pietely. Early in the war the German government took
over the distribution of most food supplies and it exer-
eises SUPERVISION over all. The army is the thing on
which all the effort Of the people is concentrated. Con-
sequentiy in the matter of supplies there can be no dis
tinctions made between the civil population and the
armies in the field. Every loaf of bread or it's equivalent
that Germany receives from the outside aids in feeding
a German soldier who is engaged in fighting the United
States. 1t matters not that the food sent from this side
may not be actually eaten by German soldiers. It's i'm
portation and use by civilians releases just that much
food that can be supplied to the army. We cannot af-
lord = reed the enemy whom we are trying to kill.
There is no parallel between the restrictions placed
on exports from the United States now and the restric-
ions which were demanded for a long time by paciasts
ana German sympathizers generally. While this nation
was a neutral it was contrary to both its interest and
its duty to place any restrictions on the purchase of sun
plies here by the belligerents. But now that the nation
IS at war 1t is not only its right but it's duty to take every
possible precauion to prevent any of its supplies from
falling into the hands Of the enemy.

their protection in action had to be learned on the Held
and in battle. experimentation OF that kind Is costly,
and the British suffered accordingly. 1t is to be hoped
need the best men obtainable, and it is such men that
the government is seeking to obtain by the process OF
training. observation and selection in the officers camps.
The soldier must do as he Is told, and he must do It when
and how he is told to do 1t. The officer in charge of
his movements must know what should be done, and be
capable In directing the movements Of his men as they
should be directed.
The army authorities have insisted, and properly.
that officers must be selected only on the basis of dem
onstrated fitness after a suitable period of training dur
ing which they can be tested in every Imaginable way.
The process Of selection is in principle not unlike that
which Gideon applied to his men, when out Of a vast
host he chose the three hundred who routed the Minian-
ties. The tests are not the same in form, but. like those
applied by Gideon, they are intended to indicate the
facts which will aid or hinder the man under inspection
in being fitted for the service which he will. be called
on to perform.

but that he has conceived it in terms

curacy is one of the impressive and
convincing features Of this %presenta-

The Cure For a Pacifist

ganization and form Of social rela-
tionship" is best, and should, there
fore, for the sake of the species, be
preserved at the expense of the less
advanced and the less effective. "It
should win," continues Professor KEEL
logg. in stating the German viewpoint,
sin the struggle for existence and the
struggle should occur that the various
types may be tested and the best not
only preserved but be put in a posi-
ton to impose its kind of social orr
ganization-its Kulture-on the 9TH
ers, or alternatively to destroy and re-
place them"
This. says Professor Kellogg, is the
disheartening and ever appalling kind
OF argument made in support of Ger
many's aspirations for world dominion,
sion is that the Germans believe what
Among those with whom Professor
Kellogg came in daily contact was an
eminent German biologist and me
time university friend and instructor,
who contended that this war is neces-
sary az a test of the German position
and claim; that If Germany is beat
en-, it will prove that her philosophy
was wrong; II she wins, 1t will be taxi
en- as demonstration hat she is in the
1i6IlI way anu LIaL CN0 rest OF the
world should "for the sake Of the right
evolution of the human race be put
on the right way-or else be destroyed
as unit"
It is this philosophy which has made
n German SO easily capable of
gf~rightfulness. It is this which loads
him 'to oppose all mercy and reject
all compromise with human softheart-
edness." His horrible academic a
suistry" convinces him that the indI-
vtdual is nothing and the state is all;
that every means to victory may be
used and that what is known as ''mili-
tary advantage Is justified no matter
how established. It is this principle
which ledTto the justification in the
professors presence Of the Zeppelin
and the ravages Of non-combatant
countryside and village, Of the shoot
ing Of civilians, of the work of the
submarine and any other instrument
or method which may operate as one
of the means Of achieving desired re-
suits.
There is, as Professor Kellogg says.
no reasoning with this sort Of thing.
no finding OF any heart or soul in It.
There is only one kind Of answer
resistance by brutal force, war to a
decision. That is the only argument In
rebuttal understandable by these men
at headquarters into whose hands the.
German people have put their des-
