Pershing. preparations are to be made
Immediately for extensive rife train
ing. The big rifle range being con-
structcd near the camp will be ready

Immediately the troops will be sent out
in regiments and other units.
The regiments will stay week at
a time on the range. and will spend
the entire working hours of the day

in two days than the regular army man
did in peace times in the entire three
years Of his enlistment.
The schedule OF training issued to-
day calls for forty hours work each
week. Wednesday and Saturday after
moons are 70 be half-holidays FOR those
soldiers keeping up with the course.
Laggards will be given special courses
on the off afternoons. The main por-
tion of the four weeks course will be
for the physical development OF the
soldiers. They will also be taught how
to care for themselves in the field and

Six fishing vessels were sunk, two of

Colossal Mistakes

"The invasion of Belgium and the
submarine campaign were the colossal
mistakes which cost Germany this war,
and her striking down Of Russia AT
this juncture may do more, and may
even compromise her distant future.
For in striking down Russia she Is
striking one who cannot defend her
self; who, like Germany, was an su-
tocracy, but has received new con-
seriousness from the suferings Of this
terrible war; one who has reached some
inward crisis of the soul, like the soul
on the way to Damascus, and now is
being led, blindfolded and incapable of
offensive action.
Whatever the strict rights of the
case may be, the spirit of history will
never forgive Germany. The liberty
which is being painfully born in Russia
will rise to vindieste Russia in the
coming generation and will be the most
implacablc enemy for future Germany"
