soldiers, said the speaker. should he
men of medium height, long bodies to
give plenty of room to the vital or
gans, short legs and long arms. For
duty of an adventurous character, Mr..
SheTerman said. the soldiers should be
OF the round headed type. with prom
ineut noses. as Napoleon selected all of
his leaders from men of this type.
Sailors. he said. should be of medium
height, with slightly bowed legs and
feet large in proportion TO their bodies.
Above all. he said, blonds should be
chosen for sea duty. as blords have
always been the best type OF sailors.
Aviators should, according to the speak
er, be mostly bone and muscle and with
long and narrow heads and faces. while
men for the commissary should be
comfortably fat.

Newspaper In Berlin

Berlin. Germany. June 2.-The idea
that England will be on her knees be-
fore next fall as a result of the Ger
man submarine war is ridiculed by the
Schwaebische Tagwacht in these
words:
England has now experienced three
months of the unrestricted U-boat
war. Hence. to some extent, English
statesmen must now be in a position
TO calculate how the further prosecu-
tiOn OF the submarine war will influ-
ence England's powers Of endurance.
According to the predictions of our
Pan Germans. England, at the end of
a six months U-boat war, or, say,
about three months from now. would
be compelled TO throw down her arms
and accept any peace that Germany
might dictate. Now, therefore, Eng
land has the chance Of ending the
war. vet, with a wild energy, she de-
clares for its continued prosecution
Thus. that which our fire-eaters
loudly demand, the continuance of the
war to a sure decision. is exactly the
same thing that England desires"
