ARMY REFLECTIONS

Statistics thus far compiled show that between nine and ten per cent of those call ed under the sclcctivc draft are rejected ou physical grounds. These men have been taken between the ages of 21 and 31 years and that there should be one in ten unfit for military duty indicates a surprising condition. It was to bc expected that these young men should be almost perfect spcci- mems of manhood The time is ripe to de- tcuuuc the cause of this mfitucSS. It has been charged to the educational system of the country In San Francisco a large number of young men were called and tried out for their fitness Co appointments as of hccrs in the new army. More than half of them were rejected, the adiutaut-general of the army giving as a reason "slOuchi- ness of manner mind and disposition. ' This charge should call for reform of meth odS, and more careful physical training. The young men who enlisted here. and have been home on fWlough, have all reported am increase in weight This would seem to offer am argument for military training in high schools and colleges If this were made universal, there would not be the poor specimens of physical manhood to be seen on the streets of the cities; there would be the added profit of having a trained army, in ease of am emergency Ike the present, and months of intensive drilling to bring the men to a condition fit to fight, would be unnecessary. An improved physical aver age of the young men would result, which ought to make these young men better bus mess and professional workers, and so im- prove all activities of every day life-Lm- com County (Wash) Times

Five billion dollars where only three billion was asked for the second Liberty Bond issue is am answer from Uncle Sam to Kaiser William that the latter will do we'll to take to bed with him and ponder over.
 The spontaneous and generous manner i'm which Americans have planked down their cash indicates their manimity of sen timcut in support of their president in the stand Inc has taken for democracy as against autocracy and human dcgredation. It in- dicatcs but one goal-Amcrico is in the war to win at all hazards and win she will.
 Germany has mo more chance to win the present war than the Confederacy had of whining the Civil war after the defeat at Gcttvsburg i'm July of 1863 and yet the Confcdcracv held out for nearly two years thereafter and long after all hope of sue cess was gone. It is so with Germany There is more peace talk today than at any time since the war started and less real in- dication of peace.
 Germany could have gotten better terms two wears ago than she could one wear ago and better terms one year ago than she can get today But the time for making terms with Germany is in the past. The allies will make and suggcst-ayc, forcc-thc terms ou Germany she will now settle bv, and she will be hammered until she accepts the terms prepared for her. Germany has mo chance to win, but she will probably fight ou until she colapses the same as did the Confectionery, and her con- try and her people will be even more great ly impoverished than were the south and her people. But, oh, what difference in the sentiment and feeling entertained by the victors over am honorable and, even in war. respected south and that which will hc entertained for mwdcrous trcachcrous Germany. The time will never come when the latter will occupy the position in the world she once held, neither will she figure again u the life of the present generation as prominent in the commercial world.
