Man and Civilization.

The marvellous progress of the last
tifty years has Alulied us into a sense
Of self confidence and security as re-
CARDS our racial progress, says DR.. Eu-
gene Lyman Fisk IN the Scientific
Monthly. DR. Fisk believes that civ
llfzntion" has not improved mankind.
He writes:
Il TO not think we have any evi-
dence TINT man as an organism, wheth.
er in regard TO his physical or mental
capacities, now presents higher aver.
age type than characterized the ma
tons OF antiquity. Indeed, so far as his
physical structure is concerned, there
Is much evidence to the contrary, and

great minds OF antiquity would have
made equally good use OF present day

Submarine, and spsed

The size of the submarine must be
limited by It's ability to maneuver, aud
TO maneuver quickly. In quick sub
mergence lies the only hope of safety
FOR the submarine attacked on the
surface. 1t is figured that boat built
to make twenty-five knots ON the sur
face would, through its great size, take
nearly ten minutes TO submerge. A de-
syroyer travelling at thirty knots
would cover something like six miles
IN that length Of time. which simply
means that the commander Of such a
submarine. caught on the surface by
n torpedo boat or destroyer any
where within a radius of six miles,
might Just ms well surrender his ship,
for IL he did not he could not escape

Those Who Appeal For Recruits

We find no force In the argument
that no man can with grace appeal to
boys to enlist who himself is not will
ing to go or to let his sons 90 or who
is alleged to have been Stacker in
the days OF other wars.
In the first place, such criticism is
not sincere. 1t is advanced merely as
fence to cover the critics own lack
of patriotism. He fancies that he can
make so much poise about a false is.
sue that nobody will think of him.
Choate and Root were both criticized
this year by Hearst because they did
not enlist in the Civil war, though they
were of age. But is there any one who
would have deprived this nation of Joe
ChCate's services in the last three,
years or. is there any one 10 gainsay
that Elihu Root has assumed as great
risk in his Russian m,Jsion as he
would have incurred had he shouldered
a gun and gone to France? We are
not acquainted with the reasons that
kept them home in the COS. They
might have been all sufficient and con-
vincing. II is unfair to etend general
tiles to cover specific instances. ~
For years Grover Cleveland was as
sailed as a Stacker. Opponents, with
all that generous fair play for which
our politics is noted, found that his war
record or lack Of ii was the sharpest
arrow in their culver and how they
drove IL into his unresisting flesh! And
he endured il all without protest In af.
ter years. when Mr. Cleveland had re.
tired to private life IL came out that
his brothers offered their lives and he
was selected as the one TO stay at
home to care for the mother! His
proud and sensitive nature--proud and
sensitive despite the claims that be had
hide like a rhinoceros--would not
permit him TO make in public the best
OF all possible defences. .p a-
II is silly to assert that only the faith.
ers OF boys who have enlisted should
| urge others TO go. Few OF them know
how TO make public appeal. The
hearts OF most OF them are too full any
way, Again and again a father has
turned away from the grave OF his dead
and buried hopes--where his children
sleep. Is he not entitled to think for
a little while before he makes another
sacrifice? ts
One OF the men who have pleaded
most earnestly that we carry on war
for democracy has been victim of
serious physical disability all his life.
Yet only few OF his intimate friends
are aware Of II and fhe never speaks
of II unless forced. He is doing HIS
country q magnificent service in the
only way that remains open to him.
II only those who enlist or send their
sons were 20 speak. our part in the war

The agreement exempts citizens of the
United States from reporting to the
police and from observing the hours
fixed for outdoor movements.
American citizens hereafter will be
permitted to travel about Germany
without being called upon to go
through the laborious and slow-moying
routine attached to the issuance of
travel permits. The new agreement
virtually places Americans on the same
