PUT THEM INTO SERVICE

The war department has announced that OF tile IT,
600 men who. it is expected. will be found fitted Tor COM
missions at the end Of the present term in the several Of
Ulcers training camps. only about 5000 are likely to BIO
assigned to active service at once. The others will be COM
missioned, but will be placed on rhe reserve list, and will
be expected to return to their homes and re-enter civil
life until they are called into service, receiving, in the
meantime, no pay from the government.
This plan is open to objection on several grounds,
and objections are being filed against it. In the first
military matters who are thoroughly conversant with the
needs OF the service. These men say that while there may
not at present be vacancies enough to call for the assign
ment of the entire 1900 new officers, the entire num-
Der can be used to excellent advantage; and should be
used, as additional officers, instructors, and so forth, at
the training camps. for the more intensive training of
the million men who are as rapidly as possible being got
ten into shape for foreign service. The general public
is familiar enough with the general situation to appreci-
ate in some measure the force Of this argument.
Then there is the other side of the case, which re-
lates especially to the new officers themselves. Every
man who entered an officers training camp prepared
himself for a long absence from his ordinary occupation.
Those who were discharged for any reason were able to
return to their homes and plan for the resumption of the
private duties on a basis approaching permanency.. But
the men who have been retained, and who are to be given
commissions. are in a different position. They know that
they will be called into active service. That may be,
for those in the reserves, in a few weeks or a few months.
They will not know. And, with this uncertainty, 1t will
be an impossibility for many of them to get back into
civil life in any moderately satisfactory manner. Business
arrangements such as would be necessary cannot be made
and changed so abruptly. The carrying out of this plan.
therefore, would bee decided hardship to all of the re-
serve officers except those who happen to have independ-
et incomes.
The verdict of experts is that useful occupation can
be found at once for all who will be commissioned. MANY
of the men themselves will be subjected to hardships if
this is not done. 1t is to be hoped that the decision Of
the department may be reversed or materially modified.

CHAIN LETTERS

A few years ago a great deal OF annoyance was caus-
ed by the circulation Of what were known as the "chain
of prayer letters, each of which contained the text of a
brief prayer-no one knew exactly about what-which
the recipient of the letter was urged to copy three times
and give or send to three other persons, with the request
that each do likewise. Accompanying this Injunction was
a blessing for Observance and a curse for refusal. It has
never been determined who started the thing, or why, but
there was in 1t just enough of an appeal to the supersti-
tious to cause anxiety to thousands of people who did not
quite dare to disobey, and who were uncertain as to
whether or not they had carried out the instructions prop
erly.
That nuisance has pretty we'll worn itself out, but
another has cropped up in the form of a chain letter ask
ing for prayers for success for the arms Of the allies in
the war. Each person receiving one of the letters is to
write to nine others asking for these prayers. and so on,
and in this way the entire country is to be covered in a
short time. - -,
The unfortunate thing about these chains is that
very worthy people contribute to the forging Of them,
and help to divert attention from really useful effort to
empty and meaningless forms. He would be indeed a
materialist who would deny the usefulness of that prayer
which is really the outpourng of the spirit. But the per-
son whose soul is full Of prayer does not need to be
prompted to utterance by a chain letter. ii FL
who was trying to bring into some sort of order a boat
load OF shipwrecked people. Among the number were a
big, husky individual and a very small man. The big man
was terror-stricken. Folding his hands, he said: Let
us pray" "Thatll be all right" roared the boatswain
above the shrek of the wind. But let that little man
pray-you grab an oar" =

THREE MONTH s. ARMlSTlCE

The Maximalists, who gained at least temporary con-
troll of affairs in Petrograd, announce as one of their
plans the declaration of a three months armistice dur
ing which all the beligerent nations shall cease HOSTILE
ues while their representatives discuss terms of peace.
Naturally. the other nations of the allied group will
slider 1t were the proposal to come from a regularly con-
stituted and responsible Russian government rather than
from the utterly incompetent and unreliable body which
makes It, No doubt such an arrangement. would be quite
satisfactory to Germany, whose public men are seeking
for peace on any terms which will preserve intact the
power and the striking force Of the German military
machine.
Most of the German forces are quite close to their
own territory. For them the problem of subsistence
would be much simpler than for any of the opposing ar
mics, as supplies could be shipped direct to such troops
as were not sent home on furlough. Those that were
sent home could, if desired, be utilized in many ways
IN the work of production in anticipation of a resump-
ton OF hostilities. To supply the foreign armies in
France would require the use of a vast system of trans
portation, and the return of the British forces to their
own country until the war is definitely ended could not
be considered. This is but one angle of the situation.
Another is that the delay would permit a general work
advantage of it in some measure the Germans, being
nearer the end Of their resources, would benefit most.
Further, even If actual. hostilities were suspended, there
would be NO suspension of political machination. and
this would be exercised to the limit. German agents
would, be as active as they have been, and the seeds of
disruption would be sown wherever the soil looked prom
Using. "
These things would occur even were Germany to OBJ
serve the conditions of the arnnistice to the letter. But
Germany would do nothing of the sort. She has shown:
her contempt for agreement of all kinds, and the ma
tons At war with her have learned that she is not to be
trpgsted. There can be no armistice until Germany is
beaten.

SECRET OF LONGEVITY

A cheerful reprobate 80 years of age when hailed
before the municipal court in Kansas City the other day
on a charge of vagrancX. in answer to a question by the
judge ascribed his longevity and excellent health to his
lifelong practice of riding brake rods and drinking
booze. The judge did not argue the point with the old
fellow, but gave him the price Of a railroad ticket to a
nearby town where he had relatives,
The Missourians explanation may not be sound, but
1t Is exactly as logical as are many other explanations
given for long life and good health. One man rounds out
a century without ever touching liquor or tobacco, and
straightway his longevity is ascribed to his abstinence.
Another lives to a like age on a generous diet of whiskey
and plug tobacco, and advocates of those particular. con-
diments point to his case as a demonstration of the cor
rectness of their theories. D.
When there are SO many cases of both kinds it is
pretty certain that the reason for a mans longevity must
be sought in something other than his use or his non use
of either liquor or tobacco.
