Bishop Falows of Chicago has been telling a COM
mittec of the national senate his views military
training. lie speaks with the voice of experience
having observed in the Civil the disastrous ef
fects of lack Of necessary knowledge by men and
officers.
Aside from the graduates Of West Point in that
war. the bishop said. most of the officers had had
only the barest preliminary training when they took
their men into active service. Thousands and
thousands of the best young men in our nation" he
declared. were sacrificed in the Civil because
of the ignorance Of their officers" The young men
had had no training whatsoever and were hurried
to the front as raw recruits. Lack of preparedness
sent them to their deaths in great numbers.
That is why. the bishop explained. he is so thor
oughly convinced of the need of military training, in
the rudimens Of the soldiers work at least every
young man in the nation. It is one OF the best
reasons that could be advanced. It is particularly

c. AR. At INAUGURATION
Rapidly Thinning Ranks
Will Add Picturesque
Feature to Ceremony.

Washington, D.C.--A patriotic and
picturesque feature of the ceremonies
President Wilson and Vice president
Marshall, March 4, will be supplied by
the rapidly thinning ranks Of the
Grand ARMY Of the Republic. At for
mer inaugurals these venerable veter-
ans have marched in the escorting
division which accompanied the presi-
dent and vice president from the White
House to the capitol, where the oath of
office is administered. with ceremony
proceeding the general parade.
Recently when the increasing feeble
ness of the grim and gray old boys in
blue was called to the attention of In
augural Chairman Robert N. Harper,
he conferred with Colonel John McEl-
roy and other representative men of
the G. A. r.. with the result that the
length Of march of the veterans is to
be greatly shortened in what may be
their last inaugural procession. This
will add an atmosphere OF pathos to
the slowly moving picture they will
present while passing the Presidents
reviewing stand in front Of the White
House, and the impulse will come to
the beholders to bare their heads be-
fore the passing battle flags in their
tatters of glory, and that talisman OF
duty and service, the little bronze but
ton.
The veteran escorting division Is the
outgrowth of an incident of the first
Inauguration of President Ulysses s.
Grant, March 4, 1869, when a group of
his former fighting men who had fol-
lowed his fortunes from the Wilder
ness to Appomattox. insisted in march,
ing behing the carriage of their chief
tain to the east capitol portico where
he took the oath of office.
At the first Inauguration of President
Wilson his immediate guard of honor
to the capitol was the crack and noted
Essex troop of Newark, N. J. He has
not announced his selection for this
honorable service at the coming inaug-
ural.
The Black Horse troop Of cavalry
and the Culver cadets, both of the cul-
yer Military academy. Indiana, will
serve as the personal escort Of Vice
President Marshall in the parade to
the capitol. which will move from the
vicinity of the White House at 9:30
the morning of March 4.

Editorial Comment
Child Labor Day.

The observance all over this country today of
Child Labor Day" is reminder that federal en-
actment frequently comes far from achieving the
complete reform at which 1t aims. y
The federal child labor law puts each state on a
par with respect to the child labor may employ
turning out those products intended for interstate
shipment. 1t does not affect employees in many
branches of commerce and industryawhich deal only
with products intended for distribution within the
state
Enforcement of the federal law Is likely to be
rigid and uniform States still will continue to be
gagged. in respect to their social progress by the
way in which they regulate those fields open to ex-
ploitation of child labor. For bringing about a
general realization of the iniquty of such labor a
prolonged educational campaign may yet be neces-
sary. The work Of the national child labor COM
mittec will not be done until it has accomplished
this Observation-Disclosures Times.

measures, it means the withdrawal of
Ambassador Gerard and the whole en-
bassy staff from Berlin and the clos
ing Of the German embassy here.
Germany's view, as expressed here.
is that neutrals should not object to
the German blockade inasmuch as they
have been unable to raise the British
blockade. American ships venturing
into the barred zones, it frankly was
stated. would be in danger of being
sunk. but it was declared that Ger
many and her allies would give up
the campaign Of ruthlessness should
neutrals acting together cause Great
Britain to raise her blockade or should
there be a peace conference.
Austria and Turkey are expected to
make similar war zone declarations.
No official announcement of such ac-
ton had reached here tonight.
The only announcement the German
ambassador made today was to deny
q published report that he had told q
friend he expected to receive his pass
denying, however, that Count Won
Bernstorff fully expected the action of
the United States to be swift and de-
cisive. 1t became known that several
times during the last week, he had at
tempted to discourage Americans from
sailing for Europe. He has declined
to write letters of introduction for
friends and on other pretexts, without
disclosing his knowledge of what was
about to happen, has done his hest to
discourage them from going to Eu-
rope.
Chairman Stone of the senate for
eign relations committee, who has been
in st. Louis, telegraphed the White
House that he was hurrying back and
would arrive at p. m. tomorrow.
Cabinet Meeting Today.
The usual cabinet meeting will be
held tomorrow afternoon, when for the
first time all the members may know
definitely of the presidents attitude.
Colonel i. NJ. House. spent the day
! here, but left tonight for New York.
In addition to n long talk with the
president, he saw Secretary Lansing,
Counsellor Polk of the state depart
ment, Secretary McAddo and POST
master Burleson.
1t was stated that the president had
| made no arrangements for going be-
fore congress, but it was considered
possible that he might decide to adopt
this step at any time.
Public opinion in this country Is be-
ing carefully considered, not SO much
as a decisive force, but as indicating
the limit of the first step to be taken.
| The officials realize that a. severe
mental wrench must be experienced
to turn public thought from hopes of
peace to the eventualities of Germany's
action.
There apparently is no division in
official opinion that Germany's an
nouncement justifies this country in
severing diplomatic relations or taking
belligerent steps to safeguard Ameri-
can rights. The complete reputation
of all Germany's pledges in the Sus-
| sex case is viewed as an open threat
made in full consideration and in utter
disregard of all that may follow.
Preparations are now known to have
been under way in Germany fol
months and the information had beer
allowed to pass the censorship te

Having depended heav- fly upon Germany, which has a great natural deposit of potash, this coun- try was at once thrown upon its own resources for this necessary material. and bureau experts, in cooperation with those of other bureaus, started to find if possible the raw materials in this country Such success has attended their effort, especially in ob- taining potash from the dust of ce- ment mills, that it is declared the United States will no longer be de- rendcnt upon any foreign country for its essential potash supply.

NEW MEATLESS DAY
 ADDED TO SCHEDULE

PHOENIX, Dec. l4.-iThe addition of another meatlcss day to the weeks schedule, the inauguration of bacon less breakfasts and the use of less sugar and animal fats arc called for in a revised conservation program which Timothy A. Riordan as Federal Food Administrator for Arizona is asked to make effective in this state, according to an announcement made today.
 The food situation has reached a point where it has become tragically serious, it is pointed out by the food administration and hunger may inn peril a conclusive victory for the al lied armies ii the American people do not exert their utmost effort at this time, and it is for this reason that steps have been taken to make moro thoroughly effective than ever before the family enrolment plan, through which already some O,OOO signatures to pledge cards have been obtained in this state.
 Two objects arc sought: First the increasing of the Arizona member ship in the food administration to 10000 and second the carrying out in every homo. by every citizen, by every hotel, restaurant, boarding house and lunch stand keeper in the state of the revised food program which calls for the following:
 I-AIcatlcss Tuesday.
 2-Mcatlcss Friday.
 @Baconlcss breakfasts every day.
 +Wheatlcss Wednesday.
 5-Onc whcatless meal each day.
 6-The use of less sugar.
 1.-The use of less animal fats.
 The pledge card campaign organ ization, headed by Warren McArthur, IT,, of Phoenix, has been made per mancnt for the purpose of carrying on this work and one of its earliest duties will be to attend to the distri- button of supplemental instruction cards in every home and of primary instruction and additional home win dow cards to the 10000 new members of the food administration which 1t Is hoped to secure in the immediate fu- turc.
 Every county manager and all coun- ty and precinct workers who aided in the initial campaign arc expected to take up their work where they left off to make the new campaign vitally effective.
