PSYCHOLOGY TESTS WILL BE
GIVEN TO COLORADO TROOPS
Each Man to Be Measured as to mind
Shape" At Camp Funston.

Every Colorado man now stationed
with the national army at the Fort
Riley cantonment will be measured
mentally. The physical requirements
Of the selective draft men having been
met, . il was announced recently
that psychological examinations, con-
Quoted by the section Of psychology
of the office of the surgeon general Of
the U. S. army, are next in order.
These examinations may prove Of
unusual importance to Uncle Sam.
Scores of tests to grade each man ac-
coriing to his intelligence. his manual
skill and his general characteristics of
mind shape" will show superior Of
ficers just what and when to expect
certain phases Of action from the men
under them. Officers also will take
these tests later to provide suitable
records when their names come up for
promotion.
1t is thought that the most dreaded
of all things that attack the soldier,
"homesickness,' can be met and con-
quered thru these tests of mentality
and physical conditions. The govern
ment has issued the following an:
nouncement: "This work is under
taken, first to supplement- the medical
examination, and second to give line
officers estimates of the mental ability
of their men. Reports of the psychol-
ogical examinations will be made to
the chief surgeon of the camp of the
psychiatric officer that mentally in
competent or psychotic men may be
considered for discharge, and to the
regimental and company commanders
that they may use this additional in
formation concerning their men for
the improvement of the service"
Later, it is thought, the psychology
cal examinations will be applied in
many series of tests to applicants for
the aviation service.

have lost their individuality but they
have gained in convenience because
they are easier to repair by replacing
a missing part.
Now an army is unfortunately even
more liable than a watch to have one
of its parts disabled and if another
just like it cannot be slipt in at once
the whole machine becomes useless.
But men are inclined to be individuals.
They are natural born non-conformists
even the Episcopalians. So to make
a military machine of them they must
be first selected so as to insure that
they all have about the same length
of step and physical vigor and then
drilled until personal eccentricity of
movement and temperament are so far
as necessary evened down. Then one
man can step into another's place in
the ranks as readily as bolt or screw
is substituted by another from the
box. Military drill is essentially a
process for the standardization of hu-
man units.

novel thing to Americans of this gen.

To the minds of the hundreds of thous-

this uniform clothing and these uni

of this machine-like precision?"
The question contains its own an

ANARCHISTS BRYAN
CALLS WAR CRITICS
1T Ii Our War;" He Tells Delegates
to Lyeeaa Association Conven-
tion. and We "Must Go Straight
Through"

Chicago, Sept. ls.-William J. Bry-
an, in an address at the Hotel La
Sale, declared the citizen who insists
at this time upon exercising his fright
of free speech" in criticising the
Government is not a law abiding
American, but a promoter of anarchy.
Mr.. Bryan was addressing an audi
ence of 1000 at the convention of the
International Lyceum Association.
There is little actual disloyalty,"
he said. "For every single instance
of disloyalty there are thousands of
loyal citizens"
Patriotism is like words written
with invisible ink. 1t always exists,
but it takes the fire of a national
crisis to bring il out. 1t is our COM
mon heritage of Americanism and
do not believe the people are now, or
ever, lacking in it.
Just now, however, We hear n num-
ber of people asserting the right of
free speech, as if any one doubted this
right. II only requires word to
correct this misrepresentation. At this
time the citizen has a duty which is
superior to right. For illustration,
a citizen has perfect right abroad on
the streets of the city, but if there be
a riot then the Mayor has the power
to suspend this right because of the
citizens superior duty to the COM
munity.
Criticism of the Government is not
now in place. II is not the best way
to express thought, which should be
transmitted direct to the President,
to your Senator or members of Con-
gress. 1t creates a wrong impression
among our enemies abroad, and finally
after this Government has acted, dis
cussioa has closed and is no longer
patriotic or American.
after Congress has acted in declar-
ing war it is a matter Of law, and
the man who criticises this is not
law abiding. He is resorting to an
archy.
81 will not discuss the causes of the
war. l care not what caused the Gov
eminent to declare war. Once the
Government has acted it is the duty
of the citizen to acquiesce.
81 don't know how long the war
will last, but no matter how long it
may last, l know that the quickest
way out is straight through.
"Any division of discussion now
would simply prolong the war and
make it more costly in lives and
treasure, and the more anxiously one
desires peace the more firmly he
should support the Government as
the quickest way of assuring peace"
Mr.. Bryan asserted that "this is our
war" and that it is our duty firmly to
support our allies, for "if we allow
them to fall, we fall ourselves, and
any neglect in furnishing them with
men or money would compel US to
fight out the war alone"

Washington, October 7th.-While
accurate figures to the extent to which
the supplying of food and necessi-
ties for the soldiers at the training
camps will intensity the transporta-
tion problem will not be available un-
til all the camps have received their
full quota of men, the task which the
railroads have been asked to per-
form is a difficult one. 1t involves
the supplying of all the necessities Of
life for sixteen non-productive cities
with population of forty thousand
each, and fifty-six smaller cities rang
ing in population from three hundred
to three thousand. Altogether more
than million men gathered at the
various cantonments must have their
daily necessities brought to them by
the railroads. AS it takes at least five
pounds of food per day for each SOL
dier, in addition to the clothing and
other supplies that are constantly
needed, it is not difficult to see that
the railroads have their work cut out
for them.

thing deserving of credit when it kept
expenses for it's football team down to
an average of $295 a man for the 1916
season.
Nearly all this average was spent IN
paying travelling expenses in the trans
portation list. Coaching for fifty men
came to $50 a man. and personal equip
ment for t%hirty-two men hit s47 a head.
Medical service for fifty men was IS

ago that the college that pays him his
annual salary was getting far under the
average in cost for football and he con-
Quoted a questioning of important uni-
versities, discovered that they were
paying an average of $40 a man more
than the aggies.
~Cheapness is a matter Of eompulsion
with Oregon Agricultural, however. for
the books closed on the 1916 season
show a deficit Of $1.222.40 on the home
field, and a surplus of only s2,247.I9 OH
