French universities and technical
schools. where they will be provided
with every facility for study under
distinguished specialists, France of
rers its educational resources unre-
serredly TO the American people. and
invites cooperation
1t need hardly be said that our gov
eminent and people should avail
themselves Of this offer to the full
est possible extent. 1t is all the more
welcome because Americans have
been wholly disillusioned regarding
The merits of German education. and
those inclined to study abroad natu.
rally turn elsewhere.
The situation is favorable at last
fer full appreciation in this country
of the matchless value of many ele-
ment OF French education The
French universities are not inferior
in scholarship to the German, and
they add those qualities which the
var has proved priceless sanity and
humanity, Any American who an

MILITARY TRAINING HEREAFTER

There is a good deal of confusion
about the future military policy Of
the United States Many speakers
and writer's are saying that the pres
ent system must be continued 1t is
hardly possible that the public will
tolerate the perpetuation OF this sys.
TEN in its present form, or anywhere
near it, TO the ordinary American
mind such policy in peace time,
would SAVIOR too much of oldfashioned
militarism, and would be an mex
cusable burden on the nation.
The principle of the draft is prob.
ably established for good. For any
purpose Of war or peace il is recoeniz-
ed as fairer and more democratic
than the volunteer system. Such
men as are chosen for military dril
or duty should undoubtedly be
chosen by the selective service pro.
cess. But this Is not saying that all
our young men as they come Of Ger
tain age should be forced into army
lie.
1t Is necessary to make a distinc.
ton. i is not universal military
service that the American people
acquiesce in. 1t is universal labili.
ty for military service" which is a
very different thing Out OF all
those liable, the war department
might choose. by some plan. from year
to year as many as are needed for
Immediate purposes and for the crea
ton OF sufficient army reserve. As
for taking all onr boys and training
them for soldiers according to the
established method, anybody. who
tried that will run up against pow
erful public opposition.
The only way In which universal
service or training might be tolerat
ed would be to modify the regula
army system and train the majorit'
Of the boys primarily for physiea
deyelopement and for national sci
Vice outside Of the ordinary miltar
purpose. No such system seems ye
TO have been worked out.

ports regarding Allied air raids on

Deputy KnokQff of the Center Party
said there had been no timely warn

authorities.
Deputy MeerfeId. Socialist, said that
although every child in Cologne knew
that 25 perse rs had been killed. the

to sa : that unfortunately there have

POCKETS WITH COIN FOR TIPS

Atlanta, Aug. S.-Maybe after this
session Of the. legislature a number Of
moderately well to do Georgians will
be able to do little travelling with
out danger of bankruptcy, for the
Senates judiciary committee has re-
commended for passage the anti tip
pink bill of Messrs Burwell and Picket
recently passed by the house.
There was quite lengthy discuss
ion in the committee as to the advis-
ability of recommending the bill. some
of the committee contending that
such legislation was of a frivolous ma
ture. Others contended, however,
that the tipping evil is an absolutely
solemn and serious question, and that
legislation to prevent tipping would
be BENEFICIAL to the travelling public
and in line with legislation enacted
in other states
When the bill comes upon the floor
Of the senate there will probably be
another warm discussion of the mer-
its of the bill.

RECRUITS NOW FLOCK
TO GET into FIGHT

Atlanta, Aug. S.-The recruiting Of
ficers are kept busy tE.,se days for
two reasons. More and more men
want to get into the fighting over
there to help wallop the Huns, and
the proposed extension Of the age
limits is stimulating enlistment, as no
registered man can be accepted as a
volunteer in any branch of the regular
or national army
When the proposed extension of the
age limit goes into effect, the men eff
fected will have no opportunity to
select the branches of the service in
which they prefer to be. and many
are taking advantage now of the open
lists.
All branches are now open to re-
cruits and the July enlistments show
the increased interest in the question.
