National Health and Military Training

(Frons The Philadelphia Inquirer
In the mass Of testimony which is being
presented to the Senate committee on the
question of universal military service there
have been two points brought out which are
worthy o. lie consideration Of the American
people. One was the proposition Of Captain
Mosely to provide for the annual training Of
a million boys of nineteen years Of age. He
favored thirty-six training stations in various
parts of the country which would be berma-
nent and result in a constant flow Of well
trained and healthful youth. The other point
was made by DR.. Lucien Howe, of Buffalo.
president Of the American Medical Associa-
ton. He told the committee that military
training would go far toward correcting the
alarming increase in physical detectives in
the United States lie said, very frankly that
we we're now physically sub-stsndard nation.
with the highest middle age death rate in the
world.
The significant part of this testimony comes
in the assertion that this unusual death rate
is preventable. We make slight attempt 70
train ourselves physically. There is nothing
that would 20 so far toward correcting it as
universal military training for the young men
Of the nation. IL is a well-known fact that
few years in the army and the navy have the
tendency to make man physically fit and to
give him constitution that is proof against
most Of the ordinary ills Of life.
That our national health has been below par
for long while is we'll known to those who
make study of such matters, and that il may
be improved wonderfully by the proposed plan
Of military training is the testimony OF those
who arc in position to know what they are

Father Taylor

IRON me BOSTON tfuNbcftpiI
All modern evangelists, whether itinerant
or not, should make special study Of G. p.
A. Healy's portrait Of Father Taylor, which
has been acquired by the Museum Of Fine
Arts Of this city, and see whether they cannot
absorb from contemplation of its rugged
but sweet and gentle features some of the
reserve and self-control which went with that
great preachers simple but matchess elo-
quence. Father Taylor, who was an orphan,
Of the Southern poor whites, and who went to
sea as a young boy, where he was from the
first accustomed to hear about the worst sort
Of language that can fall upon the human ear,
preached nevertheless in an English so pure,
so limpid, so poetic, that he had all the liter
airy men and women of Boston at his feet. or
his preaching to the sailors, roustabouts and
drunkards at the North End Bethel Emerson
said; "What splendor, what richness, what
sweetness, what cheer! lie concillates and
humanizes he exhilarates and ennobles."
Emerson also said of him: God has found
one harp Of divine melody to ring and sigh
sweet music amidst caves and cellars" And
il is noteworthy that the lowest, the basest,
the most ignorant were spellbound by the
simple and Biblical eloquencs which so de-
lighted the Boston scholars Of an epoch that
produced Emerson, Longfellow, Holmes and
Whittier. Father Taylor was in many re-
spects model 10 all evangelsts. He used
his intimate knowledge of the poorest, most
ignorant, most depraved Of men TO obtain an
entrance into their minds and hearts, but he
brought to them an ennobling influence with
every word. This spirit speaks in his like

THE SPIRIT OF 1776 IN GERMANY
The Teutonic Effort to Escape from the
Encircling Policy Of England
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial in this mornings Trib-
une. "The Entente Answer" if read between
the lines shows that you are not sanguine OF
an Allied victory in the Great War. Yet you
rejoice that this foolish war will go on, know
ing that the ultimate outcome will not be
more favorable for England ct al, than 1t is
ut present. Indeed, it may even be much
worse for them one year hence.
My fayorite newspaper is The Tribun Rnd
will continue so to be no matter how much !
may disagree with il as to the causes and the
consequences of the war. Your Christmas
Day editorial, 1.-THE American Point Of View,
was a gem.
Therein The Tribune spoke in ringing
tones like a true American and warned Eng
land and her allies that the United States
was not pro-Ally. This is the exact truth
and no amount of special pleading, hypocrisy
or chicanery will fool the American people
in this matter. The great bulk OF Americans
have only the greatest admiration for the
Germans in standing off world in arms,
and perceive that jealousy is at the base OF
the quarrel.
Two great comparisons or parallels have
been used in discussing the present military
situation in Europe by those who hope for
an Entente victory. They are Napoleon's
campaign In 1872, and our own southern
Confederacy in 1864. The first can be dis
posed Of by stating that Napoleon was a
oonqueror pure and simple, and was fore
doomed TO ultimate defeat. The second case
was a civil war in which the anachronsm OF
human slavery had about as much chance OF
surviving as a SNOWFALL in Arizona.
A better parallel for this war would be the
American Revolution, in which few colonies
achieved their independence against tremen-
dous odds with the help of noble France),
because morally they were right. The Ger
mans will also gain their independence from
the encircling policy of England, and will be
free economically in the future. The spirit
of 1776 animates every German breast to-
day, as shown by their numerous brilliant
achievements on land and sea.
