One OF the erroneous assertions regard

In one recent instance an individual who

years declared that there were only 1000

The Review is OF the opinion that 1t is

has ever lived there, has any excuse for
perpetuating this error. A moments

Gains from Universal Training.

from the Chicago News.
Some persons assert that q system Of
universal military training would produce
IN army of reservists out of all proper
ton to the nations needs. They ignore
the physical and mental benefits which
such training, properly applied In Its
elementary stages. would bestow on the
growing youth Of the country. They also
ignore the fact that national preparedness
involves very much besides drill in fight
ing. Every skilled worker properly fitted
into the national system OF defense is an
important element in that system. The
nations reserve forces should embrace all
persons whose work Is necessary in the
successful waging OF war.

FlLIPINOS EAGER TO
ASSERT OWN AUTHORITY

Manila, p. l., (by ail.)-The work OF
the first Philippine congress is largely
concerning itself with reorganization or
the government along more ~tndepend-
ent lines. Heretofore all legislative
measures In the Philippines have begun
with the words 'by authority OF the
congress Of the United States. be II
enacted by the Philippine legislature"
One OF the first measures passed by tho
new insular congress was q change to
read "the senate and house of represens
tatives In congress assembled. decrees,"
pino congress is now acting on its own
authority.
A bill for the organization OF six
executive departments has passed both
houses Of congress-. The departments
are those OF public instruction, interior,
finance, justice, agriculture and nat
ural resources, and commerce and COM
munications. The department of pub
lie instruction is to be headed by an
appointee by the president OF the
United States who will be vice governor
OF the Philippines, M the insular con-
gress will AVE no voice in his naming,
but the other departments may be
headed by local appointees who will
probably be selected from the Filipino
congress-. The bill provides that the
bureau OF civil service shall be under
the direct control of the governor gen.
eral, a measure designed to keep the
bureau from the contamination Of poll
tics.
The new department heads will COM
prise h cabinet Of the governor gen.
eral and be responsible to him. but their
presence may be required by either
house or congress which, in this way,
hopes to keep final control of their ac-
lions In Its W hands.
The congress is endeavoring to avoid
"~filibusters" and the senate has
adopted a rule that no member may
use more than three hours in speaking
on a measure after two senators OF tho
minority rave spaken, and a vote Of
the majority may close the debate.

Prison literature has many fine pro-
ductiOns to its credit In prose as well
as poetry. In his prison at Athens,
Socrates completed his great argument
for Immortality in a Roman dungeon
Calico made some of his greatest dis
coveries. In his prison in Wartburg
castle Luther translated the New Test
ament into the German language. Dur
Ing his twelve years in Bedford Jail
Bunyan dreamed his immortal dream
Of the "Pilgrim's Progress" Sir Wal
ter Raleigh wrote his f~ragmentary
history Of the world to beguile the long
years Of his Imprisonment in the

Testament also is prison literature.

France Calls a Professor.

France has called a former professor in
the University OF Lyons to the office of
minister Of national subsistence and labor
In the new cabinet. But Nj. Edouard Her
riot Is not the retiring and bespectacled
type OF university professor. Instead he
Is rated as one OF the most vigorous and
fighting men in France He
was mayor Of Lyons before his appoint
ment to the cabinet post and he did much
to better the conditions Of the poorer
class In that big French industrial city.
II fact It was the silk eaver of Lyons
who were most Instrumental In his selec-
ton as mayor.
At the beginning Of the war Herriot
undertook the organization of the indus-
tries Of Lyons so that all might con-
tribute toward the production OF mum
lions and other military necessities. And
he did 1t without destroying the highly
important and profitable silk weaving
trade of the city. Though Lyons today
is one of the munitions producing centers
Of France, 1t has the nearest to a pre-
war trade of any city In the country. 1t
was this genius as an organizer that won
for Herriot the cabinet ofice-an office
which virtually makes him manager OF
the productive facilities of the nation.
