German Schooling.

German schooling has proved antag-
pnistic to cooperation, although de-
handing unity Of action through mass
obedience. II has failed to foster real
cooperation, for cooperation Is q
method by which persons Of their own
yolition and by no .compulsion may
work together harmoniousiy, writes
winthrop Talbot In the Century haga-
rine. Only when training and school
lne are the common privilege Of all Is
that state Of civic Development posi-

4 socialized society becomes more ano

members acquire each the Wioes'

BEST ARMY EVER,
SAYS TAT FT;;ASkS
100000 DRAFT

That the selective draft had devel-
men the world had ever known. and
that 100000 of them sent "over
tSere' within the next two or three
years would bring victory to human
ity's cause. were the features of the
address of former President William
Howard Taft before the members of
the National Geographic Society at
Masonic Temple Auditorium last
night.
The occasion was Mr.. Taft's annual
appearance before the society. and he
spoke from the knowledge he had
gained through a speaking tour of
the national army cantonments, dur
ing which he spoke to a total OF ap-
proIimstely 100000 men. He said:
"If we have an army OF 5000 900
men in France within three years, we
shall win this war, and the worlds
peace will have been attained. We
can raise as fine an army and as large
an army as there is on European soil,
and IL we transport il as rapidly as
We may, can have IL in Europe within
then be attained, and the world will
again be free"
Although airplanes. artillery. and
other instruments OF war are neces-
sary in a modern campaign" contin-
ued the former Executive, "this war.
as other wars, must be won by
trained man power. We must look
forward with large vision and make
ample provision to strengthen our
allies. give our confidence to our own
army. and convince our enemies OF
our determination TO win the vic
tory"
a great burst OF applause followed
the former Executives optimistic
prophecy. TO be repeated when he de-
scribed the kind OF army America is
raising.
Commanders at cantonments told I
me the drafted men are the finest
material for the making OF an army /

the end of three days were worn out
and gave up the job. Oxy-acetylene
was then tried, but this also failed. as
the redwood proved impervious to the
flames, the wood carbonizing In
wall.
Mr.. kellogg then put some OF his
own ideas into operation. He first
drove a gas pipe through the heart
OF the log. using the truck on which
the body was to be mounted as a
battering ram. This small aperature
was enlarged by a pepper wood chisel
fastened to the front OF the truck
with chains Then the following out
process was completed with twenty
two-foot chisel operated in the same
manner. This left a shell one foot
thick. and Mr.. Kellogg trusted to his
eye alone in smoothing out the log
and modelling it as a sculptor would
into a beautifully shaped body.
6,OOO-POund She'll
As the shell in its unfinished state
weighed in the neighborhood OF 6.OOo
pounds. the problem OF mounting it
on the truck was difficult one. This
was finally solved by cribbing the
corners with slabs and digging a pas
sageway in the soft forest floor be-
meath. The truck was then driven
under the great log and the latter
lowered into place.
Next came the task OF drying out
the body without checking, 10 get
rid OF surplus weight. This was ac-
complished by sealing all apertures
and turning on sprinkler for TWO
weeks. This washed out the sap and
hastened the seasoning process. Al
the end OF the two weeks the log had
lost 1000 pounds in weight.
An Automobile Flat.
Mr.. Kellogg himself cut the win
dows and planned the interior. He
found places for two beds, a kitchen
ette. yacht layatory, closets. electric
fixtures. and wiring. Then came some
exquisite cabinet work, clever little
drawer folding arrangements ana
plate glass windows. The body OF
the car is nineteen feet long and
contains three rooms. each SIX teet
square. a living room. bedroom, and
chauffeurs room. The rooms are
all luxuriously furnished. a feature
OF the living room being a small fire
place.
Mr.. Kellogg has driven his Travel !
Log" as he calls IL. more than nv.
thousand miles over the famous
mountain roads Of California. and has
found little difficulty in negotiating
the steepest grades. In spite of the |
fact that the truck. which was de-
signeu to have a capacity OF two tons.

pounds.
Only BattIeship of Its Kind.
In these days OF feverish ship
building all kinds OF marine archi-
lecture are coming to the front. We
read about wooden ships, concrete
ships, steel ships, standardized ships,
corrugated ships. and so on. But
there is a certain amount of fresh
ness in the latest addition to our

This novel battleship was designed
and constructed in a Bridgeport plant
devoted to the manufacture OF pipe
ftting& In completed form IL was
transported from Bridgeport to New
York city on a large motor truck.
The overall dimensions OF the model
are: Length, $50 inches; beam, 81
inches. modelled depth, AZ inches:

102 inches. Its weight is 3,30s
pounds. In all. 6.G69 separate pieces
entered into the construction OF the
battleship. II is surprisingly COM
plete, considering the nature OF the
material employed. 4 small electric
motor gives action to the propeller.
Electrically Equipped.
The ship is electrically wired
throughout. the, wires running in con-
duits. The mere pressing OF a but
ton brings the ship into action, the
propeller rotates, the commander sa-
lutes, lights flash, guns roar. me

casts a piercing look about. The en-
tire action is automatic and may be
repeated Indefinitely or until the
pressing OF another button stops it.
A row OF colored electric lights run
from bow to stern over the mast tops,
and when in action the model makes
an attractive exhibition.
