ESKIMOS ONLY EUROPEANS
NOT INTERESTED IN WAR

LONDON. Feb. 1.-The Eskimos af
Greenland are probably the only peo-
pie in Lurcpe who are not interested
in the outcome CT tie great war. Such
is the impression given by Jen Dan
gard Imsen. governor of Greenland,
who has come all the way to London
to appear as witness in claim of
the Danish government to cargo of
fish, seized by the British as prize of
war.
They have heard of the war" said
the governor, but they have only
vague impression of the gigantic strug
gle. Two Eskimo papers that are pub
lished once month give them rough
idea of the conflict but the issues are
entirely foreign to them. These pa
pers are printed by native printers,
trained in Denmark. In them are re-
pl oduced war pictures taken from the
Danish papers"
The waste of human life makes the
deepest impression on these Greenlan
ders, according to Governor Dan
gard. The Eskimo believes it wick
ed to kill humans" he went on. He
kills all animals and thinks he has a
perfect right to do so, but he shrinks
from the thought of taking humans
! life He heard of men being thrown
against machinery in the great strug-
gle 10 the south of him and believes
the whole thing absurd.

HARRIS "FEELING OUT
FARMERS AND EMPLOYERS

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. LIN consid-
ering the question of an extra session
OF the legislature for action on bone
dry" prohibition bills, Governor Har-
ris is exceedingly anxious to ascer-
tain the sentiment among employers
of labor, and especially farm labor.
1t has been represented to the gov
ernor that the large movement of ne
groes to northern states has created
an acute situation on the farm, for the
reason that farmers are all the more
dependent upon the negroes remaining,
and must be able to rely upon them. 1t
has further been represented to the
governor that the negroes remaining
are able to obtain about as much Ii
ouor with Georgia's present prohibit
tion lams despite their drastic provis-
lens, as they did before the laws were
passed. Farmers and other employers
OF labor have informed the governor
that they are graphing with the
same old problem of negroes getting
drunk on Friday and staying drunk
until Tuesday.
This years crop of cotton and corn
will have been laid by when the regu-
law session of the legislature meets.
Hence it is urged that the governor
call an extra session to pass bone
dry" laws in time to stop the ship
ment of liquor before the farmers get
into the making of their crops.
While the governor was not inclined
at first blush to issue the call for the
extra session, it is known that the sit
uation affecting the agricultural in
terests of the state has weighed very
strongly with him in favor of issuing
the call, and for this reason he is par
ticularly anxious to hear from farmers
and other employers of labor.

NEW SUGGESTIONS FOR
LONDON'S SCHOOL TEACHERS

LONDON, Feb. livery Londor
school teacher has been sent by The
educational authorities a new syllabus
CT orders and suggestions for tht
conduct of examinations in grade
schools. Some of the suggestions in
yolye more or less complete upset
ting of the old methods of preparing
questions for examinations. In many
cases, an examination wherewith the
pupil is allowed to consult his text
books is insisted upon.
There are some things that are not
worth knowing" says the syllabus.
Questions on historical nobodies are
out of place, and years study Of
geography cannot be tested by such
questions as, Say all you know about
Australia or the Mississippi or Name
six of the products of Europe or
Canada.
Information on these points is de-
sirable. but it should not always be
tested in this form Tests of intelli-
gence should be more frequently set
than tests of knowledge and skill.
Just as in history, so in nature
study, quest is often better than
question.

Germany's Doom Of Fear.

Germany, clearly enough, is living
today under the doom of fear. Her
temper, her expedients, her gestures
all of them proclaim the state that
has lost it's moral balance. There
should be no ground for that attitude.
None of us wants the destruction OF
Germany. The peace for which we
are working should promise that
which will make her the partner IN
the prospects of our common civlil-
cation if she is willing to accept the
conditions upon which that life is
lived. To realize that, she must be
in a mood to reason calmly. Let us
ensure her what common prudence
demands and she can awaken from
evil dream. But she will then see
that the economic background OF
neace must be based upon territorial
rearrangement. If domination has
failed, cooperation must follow. II
she cannot defeat the world she must
accept the world. In that mood 1t IS
possible to make effective settlement
of our problems-New Republic.

KINGDOM GOULD, PRIVATE.
"Hopes to Make Good Soldier,
He Tells Sergeant.

Private kingdom Gould, of K Com
pany, 311th infantry, national army,
is going to find more happiness under
the flag than he expected, according
to a we'll defined report that reached
the camp today. He was pulling weeds
and policing up-that means cleaning
up-the part of the United States Of
America that lies Immediately in
front of his barracks: when the news
came that his mother, Mrs. George
J. Gould, was coming over to see him
tomorrow with the newly acquired
wife of the millionaire recruit.
That, said the gossip of the camp,
meant that there had been recOncll-
iation in the Gould family, and that
service in the army had been instru-
mental in bringing about a complete
understanding where there had been
some straining of the family ties.
Private Gould would not talk about
the natter He had been dubbed
"Gouldie' by his comrades in arms,
and has a bunk between carpenter
and an electrician. He put up game
front today when he faced the mus
tering officers.
What is your occupation?" asked
an officer.
Mining engineer, sir, and 1 hope
to be a good soldier"
Later when he was asked about his
first experience in the camp he was
enthusiastic.
81 have been on many hunting ex-
peditions," he said, "and l can as
sure you that these clean barracks,
and the snappy atmosphere of mil
itary life appeal to me very much.
Now that the time has come for me
to give my services to Uncle Sam l
feel very happy. I'll make my COM
rades work hard to beat me into the
non-com ranks. New York Sun.

ELEVEN KILLED 80 INJURED.
Report Of Casualties in Air Raid on

London Sept. 30.-Eleven persons
were killed and eighty-two injured in
last nights air raid, it is announced
officially. The material damage was
not great.
The following official report of the
raid was given out today:
--latest reports show that deter
mined and simultaneous attack was
made upon London by three groups of
raiders. Each of these groups, which
approached from different directions,
was broken up by anti-aircraft guns
and only two or three machines pene-
trated the defenses. Bombs were
dropped in the northeastern and
southeastern districts. A fourth
group of enemy machines which at
tempted to approach London later
was driven off, none of the raiders
penetrating the outer defenses of the
capital.
Bombs were also dropped at vari-
Gus places in Kent and Essex.

The soldiery Spirit.

The development of a soldiery
spirit should be the end of all train
ing. It is the possion of this quail
ity that enables ten men to beat a
hundred, and fifty to rule thousand.
The story of the British. conquest OF
India, and that of f>scott's campaign
in Mexico are examples of how
moral force may triumph over over
whelming numbers. A soldiery spirit
enables man to be cheerful in pri-
vation, to put faith in his superiors,
to practice necessary self-confidence
and self restraint to act with initla-
tive amidst unforeseen danger, and
so obey all orders with courage and
disregard of self.
It was the soldiery spirit that per-
meated Jackson's infantry at Chan
cellorsville; that spirit held the
Ypres salient in 1914 when he were
one to ten. Lord kavanaugh's house
hold cavalry brigade stood alone and
unbroken against vast hordes of Ger
mans on Mennin ridge, because'every
trooper of the household cavalry was
possessed of soldiery spirit. This
spirit has characterized all Canada S
new world troops since the beginning
Out of the mud and mire OF
Flanders, out of the winters cold and
rain, out of the shell swept trenches,
corpses are thickly strewn, out of all
this woe and hardship, comes the
voice of. the Tommy, singing, Are
We downharted? MOI" That is the
triumph of the soldiery spirit, when
is the desideratum of all of Aemrica S
new armies.

Those Who Achieve Greatness.

The merit by which men of action
rise to greatness are four-intellect,
energy, courage and independence.
When those four are united in the
same person, and in a quite eXcep-
tional measure, the raise him high
above the crowd. The other men
defer to his opinion, trust his pre-
dictions, repeat his phrases, rely on
his firmness, take him as their chief.
If he succeeds in what he undertakes,
each success confirms his authority
and surrounds him with halo OF
prestige. He becomes power. OF
the four qualities enumerated, that
which most impresses others is in
dependence, because it is so rare.
The man who, perceiving difficulties
and dangers, will face them alone, in
reliance on his own judgment and
force, is the natural and inevitable
leader. If he is large of soup, true OF
his principles and to his friends, he
will win affection and an even fuller
measure of confidence. But the i'm
preston of that indefinable thing we
call greatness depends after all chief
ly on the impression that he makes Of
the power of initiative, of an un-
shakeable resolution. The mass of
mankind want some one to follow,
some one in whose hands they can
feel themselves safe, as crew and
passengers do when they see their
captain cool and dauntless in the
Widest storm

French Aviation Plans.

To meet the German effort to put
$500 aeroplanes in the field by the
spring of next year, the French au-
thorities are taking measures to main
tain their air supremacy. Figures
are not. of course, available, but the
general lines of the programme be-
ing arranged by Nj. Andre Tardleu,
the French high commissioner in the
United States, indicate the material
assistance which will be added by
America to the effort of France her
self.
The programme stipulates for the
sending of first contingent of Amer
lean pilots who have already been
selected to finish their training in
one of the French aviation schools.
At the request of the United States
a contingent of French instructors
have, on the other hand, already
gone to America to teach the French
methods of air fighting.
For construction purposes the
United States will send large con-
signments of raw, roughed-out and
manufactured material, and cooper
alton is to be established on big
scale between the American and
French factories. American motors
and aeroplanes are also to be sent
for use on the front.
