Notorious Bully Cause
of German NaUal Mutiny

AMSTERDAM, Oct. l2.-The first
evidence OF the recent mutiny In the
German fleet was an act Of insubordi-
nation aboard battleship whose
captain was notorious as a bully ac-
cording to information received here
by the Associated Press. A sick sailor
refusing to obey orders OF an officer
was brought before the captain who
placed him under arrest. On the fol-
lowing day a deputation OF sailors de-
manded the release of the delinquent
who was an elderly reservist. When
the captain asked the meaning OF this
deputation he received the answer
that the sailors had formed "A council
on the Russian model and this led to
an investigation which resulted In ar

NEXT DRAFT CALL

WASHINGTON. oct. 12.-Discus-
sion OF the advisability of expedlting
the cali for the second incremens OF
the army Is now in progress AT ths
war department and il appears likely
that the date may be fixed for sorio
time in December or January.
Mobilization OF the first increment
of 6S7, 900 men is now far enough ad-
vanced to show clearly that there will
be big deficiency for the II national
army divisions. More than 100000 Of
the first increment are still to be as
sembled, but 1t already Is evident that
there will be available at The 16 can
tonment quarters for an additional
regiment at each post and at some for
a full brigade of two regiments.
Heavy Shortage Certain.
The strength Of the new rcgimental
organization Is $500 men. With a regl-
mcnt lacking at each contonment. this
alone would mean n shortage of nearly
fifty thousand men In addition there
has been authorized separate divi'
sion of negro troops, which mears
nearly thirty thousand men withdrawn
from the original number assigned 10
the 16 cantonments.
The shortage Is due partially to the
necessity of taking out of the national
army men to fill up national guard
| divisions. Two complete national
army divisions OF southern troops
| have been absorbed In this way. The
| rem nants of three other southern
/ national army divisions will be con-
! solidated to form single divisional
uni. and the surplus men from other
camps will be sent south to make up
The missing divisions.
Drafts on the national army forces
/ also must be made up to fill up the
/ enlisted personnel Of the aviation SER
vice. the medical corps and the ser
! vice battallons needed behind the
/ fighting lines. Eventually there will
| be 25o coo men in the last named SER
vice alone and aviation and medical
service will take nearly as many more,
tho not all of them will be taken from
the national army.
Equipment Slow.

FIRST NORMAL SCHOOL
Was Agitated in United States at Med
ford, Mass, in 1885.

The effort for improved training of
children in Europe, declares Prof Scar
son of the Kansas Agricultural college,
was based on the conviction that, "As
the teacher, so is the school," and the
American colonists, thoroughly impreg-
mated with European ideas, early sought
to improve school conditions by provid-
ing for better trained teachers. Harvard
college began in 1886 as a theological
seminary, the object of which was to
provide the church a trained ministry.
Other colleges, academies and seminaries
sprang up under church control. The
logic by which men were trained for the
ministry led the more progressive spirits
to consider the needs for trained teach
ers. Far-sighted leaders advocated the
establishment of schools wherein teach
ers might be trained for their work. In
l749, the University of Pennsylvania
had its beginning in an academy designed
in part as a school for teachers.
The first normal school in America
was founded by Rev. Samuel r. Hall at
Concord Corner, Vt, March, 1882. Teach
er training in high schools was provided
by legislative act in New York state as

TWO MORE
YEARS OF WAR
Easily Extend That Long,
Says British General
Maurice
GERMANS NOW
FOLLOW LEES TACTICS
Wars End, However, May
Be fastened by the Food
Shortage in Germany

London, March 3.--The war may cas-
lily extend over another winter as far al
purely military factors are concerned, &C
cording to a statement by Gen. Frederic
B. Maurice, director of military opera
tons for the imperial general staff, in
interview given to the Associated Press
In the opinion of Gen. Maurice there is
little difference between the strategy
followed by the commanders In the
American Civil war and the strategy
which governs the struggle of to-day.
STRATEGY as immutable as time" he
said, sis dominating this war as it has
dominated all other conflicts. The world
has long recognized Robert Z. Lee as a
great general, and in my opinion he was
one of the dozen great commanders OF
history, place which is enhanced rather
than dimmed by his participation in
lost cause as success gains its own recog-
milton
"The strategy of which Gen. Lee was
master does not change with time, and
in the year 2,o0l military leaders will be
acting on the principles of Napoleon and
Lee.
"The men over in the trenches, seeing
only a brief and intimate part OF the
actual opera ions, are inclined to assert
that the major principles of warfare
have changed, but this is true only of
tactics which, according to Napoleon,
change every 10 years, period which,
had he been alive to-day, he probably
would have reduced to five years.
''This is due TO the increase in inven-
tive powers over the time when Napoleon
fought. In the tactics of this war are
seen three tremendous innovations which
probably can be placed in the following
order; First, airships; second, improved
heavy artillery with highly explosive
shells; third, machine guns. In strategy
the immutable problems of time and
space still prevail, and were Napoleon
or Lee alive to-day the genius which
made them great would find an outlet.
"People wonder frequently why, with
the superior resources in man power I'M
doubtedly possessed by the allies more
progress toward victory is not made,
The reason lies in the form of strategy
which made your Civil war so long and
enabled Napoleon to keep his back to
the wall so long when he had coalition
of Europe against him"
Cen Maurice said that by skillful EN-
ployment of strategy Lee and his small
army held back greatly superior forces
for four years and on military grounds
there is no reason to expect the early
collapse of the Germans. Gen. Maurice
does not believe that the recent German
in the west was for the pur
pose of forcing open field fighting. The
Germans were obliged to retire, he said,
and he expects them to try to recover lost I
ground Gen. Maurice has no patience /
with the idea that the Germans are at (
The end of their fighting resources, but i
adds that conditions outside the military
zone might bring the war to an end be-
fore the close of another winter. The
physique and morale of the soldiers
night be affected by food shortage at
home and the effect of this is not UNI
likely to become increasingly apparent.
