Page That Was Torn
FroFn Chicago SpeIIers

! From Chicago SpeIlers @7H HE whole country knows that 1 u the Chicago board of educa- stion decided to tear out page in 6 public school speller which eulogizee Fhe Kaiser.
 ! The Chicago News publishes fac &imile of the page. That part of the text devoted to Wilhelm reads as fol, lows:
 THE KAISER IN THE MAKING.
 In the gymnasium at Cassel the Ger man Kaiser spent three years of his boyhood, iiligent but not brilliant pupil, ranking tenth among r candi- dates for the university.
 Many tales are told of this period of his life, and one of them, at least, is Illuminating.
 A professor, it Is said, wishing to curry favor with his royal pupil, in- formed him overnight of the chapter in Greek that was to be made the subject of the next days lesson.
 The young prince did what many boys would not have done. As soon as the classroom was opened on the following morning, he entered and wrote conspIcuously on the blackboard the information that had been given him.
 One may say unhesitatingly that boy capable of such an action has the root of a fine character in him, pos sesses that chivalrous sense of fair play which Is the nearest thing to religion, that may be looked for at that age. hates meanness and faYor- itism and will, wherever possible, ex- pose them. There Is in him funda- mental bent toward what is clean. manly and aboveboard,
 It is sad to see how the Kaiser ha fallen in public esteem. The qualitie attributed to theE future Empero seem to have been outlived or forgot ten. Any such references to him nov would be met with grimly ironics smile. It would not be necessary t name the crimes which have foreve blackened the name of Hohenzollern.
 Maybe the Kaiser did make a goo start in school. He is a deplorabl example of promising young ma who went wrong and brought tn worlds curses down upon his head.

Universal Military
 Trraiming Fimally

Ir@lmlMg EIM&lly
 NNTHEN universal military train- WV ing for the United States was first proposed the country was not ready for it. Many patriotic Ameri- cans raised their hands in protest. Every youth soldier! Such sys- tenn would mean militarism pure and simple, said the pacifists. But in stead of creating war-like spirit similar to Prussia's, it would have made for good order and peace, such as we find in Switzerland, where every man is drilled for national de- fense.
 No matter how it may have been in other years, republic with a pop ulation of more than 100,000,000, can not depend upon the enlistment of vol unteers when stupendous war is be- ing waged. And this war with Ger many is big war-the mightiest the United States or any other nation has ever been ''up against" Previous wars. even the Civil war of four years, with it's feats of valor and its slaugh- ter-were small compared with this one.
 The United States having declared war against Germany, a vast army had to be raised. The selective draft plan was regarded as the most prac- tical and the most humane. An ade- ouate army will be raised eventually by this method, but there are entirely l too many exemptions claimed by the conscripted men to make speeding possible.
 | If we get through this war and ever have another, which God forbid! it IS hoped we will not have to fall back either upon voluntary service or con- scription. The volunteers are splen- did as far as they go, but there are not enough of them. Universal .rain- , ing is the thing. It is strictly demo- cratic and distributes the burden evenly. The rich mans son and the poor mans son, the college bred boy and the trade apprentice, the farmer lad and the town lad, all touch elbows
 Universal training of one year, with the reservists, would provide this country with first-class army oi more than million men on the ,.-st call to the colors. It is too late tc consider this military problem n co l. nection with the war now in progress but the time will come, no doubt when it will be considered and actct , upon favorably.
 There Is nothing that gives cleare . idea of the German stnte of mind thal , the comparison of British or Frenc war editorial with an editorial of tha sort in German newspaper. The latte lis characterized by arrogance. yainglo f rious boasting and 8 profound eontemr for humanity in general.

Canning Food in centreville

with some friends said c. J. White Tt took us about three and half hours as the roads are in bad condition from the rains. If something is not done and that quickly, the money spent for good roads in Bibb and part of Jefferson will have been wasted.
 The merchants at Centreyille put il a public eannery that can put up about 2000 cans 8 day and 1t is helping to con. serve the food crops raised in and arounf Centreville. It has been a great objec lesson in showing the people what cal be done to save stuff that heretofore ha practically gone to waste. l wish every community in the state had a cannery."

Cemmends Patriotisn

It gives me much pleasure to announce
 this morning that as we have always been well represented in the conflict eign foe. this representation I speak of comes through the fact that several of the young men of this church answered to the draft summons last week without making any claims for exemption" said
 Father Charles E.. Reilly, rector of the Church of the Immaculate Conception" a eolered Catholic mission, "and we as true patriets should congratulate them. for many of them have wives and could have made the claim, but declined to dc so because they knew their duty was at the fighting front. where all brave men go." |.

Ready to Cooperate

II am very much interested in the registration for war service of the women of our country" said P. M. McNeill, county superintendent of education. T will gladly do anything in my power to assist in getting a complete registration of the women of this country. Of course
 1 know it does not mean at all that a
 woman is to leave home after she regis
 ters. AS I understand, it is simply a way of letting the state and nation know something of the qualifications of the women and where best to use those who can go in any capacity If called into service. Also way of letting then 1 know what those who stay at home wist to do in order to help the country along I I will be glad for the ladies to use the
 schools for registration places and hope that the trustees of every school 1T
 the county will have the school houses ready for their meeting places"
