The principle so ably contended
for by Hon, j. Y. Sanders, when
he recently advocated continuing

to be subject, however, to the
war powers of the President, was
incorporated in the recent rail.

our able Representative we can
not forbear referringsagain to the
same matter, and will quote "The
Traffic World" of Chicago, the

transportation and its problems,
which said:

and mountains, and therefore have
relatively little cultivable land, and
are for the most part difficult to tra=
verse.
Some Mud There, Too
The climate OF France may be de-
scribed as temperate. Nowhere are
the winters severely cold, nowhere
are the summers extremely hot All
parts OF the country have at least q
moderate amount of rainfall, with
nowhere g very rainy or a very dry
season. From place to place the ellie
mate varies considerably, due (1) to
the considerable north-south extent
Of the country, (2) to the distribu-
ton of loWlands and highlands, (3)
TO variety of position with reference
to the ocean, and consequent expos
UTe to ocean winds. Because of diff
ference in latitude the north ia con-
siderably cooler than the south, both
in summer and in winter. Because OF
difference in altitude the central plat
eau and the mountains on the south
and the east have markedly lower
temperatures, as well as heavier rain
falls, than the plains. Western and
northwestern France, because of
proximity to the sea, have less
marked seasonal temperature ranges
and have more rainfall than eastern
France, whose climate is more con-
tinental.
There are many rivers in France,
since it is country with plentiful
rainfall, but most of the streams are
short The four main rivers, the
Seine, the Loire, the Garonne and the
Rhone lsee the map), are not long,
as compared with any of the worlds
great rivers, ouch as the Mississippi.
OF the four chief rivers of France, the
Seine is most used for navigation.
OF mineral resources France has
abundant supplies only of building
materials and salt. The possession of
only moderately large resources of
coal and iron, as compared with the
resources of Great Britain and Ger.
many, has handicapped France in In.
dustrial competition with its neigh.
bofs.
Agriculture is the chief industry Of
France. 1t engages nearly one-haIfl
of the population, whereas only one-j
quarter of the people are engaged iaI
manufacturing. In long-settled,
highly developed, densely populated
conntrY such as. France, agricultural
naturally Is OF en- intensive sort. Thai
crops raised vary from one part of the
country to another, depending on the
climate, the topography and the soil.

THE MEANING OF DISCIPLINE

President Wilson. in his speech at
the opening of the Red Cross Drive,
told of an Indian who had returned to
his reservation after period spent in
military training camp.
The Indian was asked how he liked
the life of soldier.
mot much good" he replied; too
much salute. too little shoot"
The reply of the Indian was char
acteristic not alone of his race, but of
the average American.
The young man from any one of the
United States who has been drafted
into the military service chafes under
discipline. Much of the routine to him

The grandeur and glory of war
this expression has been used many
times. To some it is meaningless
nothing, just a high-sounding phrase.
What is there, what can there be,
that is grand and glorious in war?
In the military, grand tactics are
those involving large movements. The
term IS technical, as for instance, a
grand total But the public mind would
reject any such explanation of the
grandeur of war. Grand means some
thing that fires the imagination. The
man in the street conceives of large
movements as the mere multiplication
of smaller undertakings. It is easy TO
understand the state of mind of the
student of military affairs whose lar
gest command has been a company,
for instance, and who sees unfolded
before him in grand tactics all the
tremendous responsibilities of maneu-
VeriRg an army and determining its
strategy. But to the man who is not
student of military problems it makes
little difference as he reads of engage
nents whether companies or armies
took part. He is concerned to know
whether detectives have been attained
When the Kings of old went forth
to their Crusades they might have
been thrilled, they must have been
thrilled, for there was then a ponp
and a pageantry in war such as has dis
appeared since war became an indus
trial condition. The boy in school
thrills as he reads of the fGats of arms
Of these men in shining armor AS he
reads he signs for the good old days
that have gone. Who would not dare
and die if the reward were to be the
favor of some Queen of Beauty Lit
tie Rufus thinks as he reads that no
sacrifice would be too great, no dam
ger too threatening, if he could but
win the smile of little Gwendolyn, now
grown to womanhood and enthroned
as a Queen of Beauty Wearing the
grown-up Gwendolyn's glove upon his
breast, he would enter a tournament
any day and fight so bravely for
her favor. The detestablc little Ar
thur, who sits in the next row would
find himself endorsed and begging for
mercy, which would gladly be extend
ed that Gwendolyn might glory in the
manhood of Rufus. Yes, the glory has
gone from combat, whether it be or
battlefield OF merely in a tournament.
Even the parades of today are color
less-just miles of olive drab. Com
pare that with shining arnor!
Where is the grandeur and the glory
of it ali?
Liege? Does not the mere mention
of the name kindle fires Of memory
and compel admiration for the gallant
bravery of devoted little nation?
Louvain? 1t will never be forgotten
so long as the memory of man endures
Antwerp? Is not the glory of the
ancients duplicated in our own time I

The most significant fact in the
geography Of France is its position.
1t is situated in the western part Of
the European continent. England is
near neighbor to the north; Bel
GUM, Germany, Switzerland and
italy are neighbors on the east, and
Spain is on the south. The Atlantic
borders the country on the west, the
English Channel and the North Sea
are on the north, and the Mediterra-
mean is on the southeast.
AS consequence, of this position
France Is in close contact with the
other important nations Of Western
Europe, and is able to reach all the
rest Of the world by sea. The result
is that France ali through its history
has had many and complicated rela-
tions with outside countries. Never
has the significance of geographic po-
sition been more strikingly evident
than IN the most recent chapter OF its
history, that of the Great War.
Hun Her Chief Enemy
Frances chief enemy is Germany,
one CT its eastern neighbOrs.
Frances chief ally is Great Britain,
the neighbor to the north, and two
other allies are Belgium and Italy,
neghbors to the east. The United
States has been able to join its forces
and resources to those OF France by
virtue of the fact that the ocean high
way offers relatively easy connec-
ton, in spite of the great distance be-
tween the two countries.
In area and in population, France
IS one OF the medium-sized countries
of the world. Its 100000 square
miles make it about the size
of Germany. or not quite four times
the size Of Illinois. Its population IS
thirty-nine millions, whereas that OF
Great Britain is forty-f1Ve millions,
and that of Italy is thirty-four mill
lions. Compared with the United
States, whose area is something more
than three million square miles and
whose population is about one hum
dred millions, France is a relatively
small country.
About fye-eighths of the area of
France is less than q thousand feet
aboFe sea-level (sea the mapl. Most
OF this lowland area Is in the north
and the west, where most of the cul-
tivsble land is located, and where,
because OF absence of marked topo-
graphic barriers, Communication and
transportation are relatively easy.

is meaningless. Especially is this true
of the man who has lived in the open
and who feels that he is physically fit.
He can understand why the man drawn
from sedentary pursuits must be hard
cned by exercise in the open air; but
in his own case there seems to be no
reason why he should not be sent to
the front as soon as he has learned how
TO shoot. And the chances are that he
believes he Is as good shot as the
man with the marksmen's medals.
Upon reaching France the same inn
patience is noted that charactefizeg this
period of their training In American
camps and environments. The new
soldiers are eager to go over the top.
They cannot understand why men

who are engaged in warfare should
take such elaborate precautions to con-
ceal themselves. They seem to be-
Heve there is something unn1anly
about taking advantage of every cover
and they long for the days when they
can meet their foe face to face.
So general has been this trait among
the new American soldiers that spe-
cial efforts have been taken to warn
the men against undue exposure of
them3elves. Several instances have
been reported of loss of life because
men had not been so well disciplined
that they would resist the temptation
to go out into the open to do battle.
Not only that; it is just as perilous to
a military undertaking to move too
soon as too late.

IT IS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN

Is there no grandeur, no glory in
wsr?
Is it not rather that we sec "but the
shot and shorn, here in our manhood's
might outpourcd?"
The grandeur is not in the mere
multiplication of fighting units. 1t is
in high resolves, in indon1ikable cour-
age, in unfaltering foritudo It is in
the hearts OF meni
The glory is in the revelation that
these high resolves, this indonaitabIe
courage and this unfaltcring fortitude
have not been crushed and crowded
out of the lives of men because of ease
and comfort
1t has taken the scourge of war to
teach men a new sense of values. The
things that are worth keeping are
worth struggling for; those that are
not worth keeping give them no con-
Germ when the real issues are seen.
1t has taken the scourge of war to
teach men who had known no higl,
resolves that they were capable OF
rising to unknown heights of courage
and of that quality which is finer
stiil--sGstained fortitude.
The grandeur and the glory Of war
have called TO the souls of selfish men
who lived in the money Tnarts, and
the miracle is that they have heard the
call and needed it. Their souls have
joined the souls OF heroes long since
gone and their bodies lie on the field
Of France and Flanders.

discipline is not, as for instance in the
case of the salute, to make man sa-
lute gracefully. It is to make man
obey orders on the instant; TO make
him observant; to mould his mind i1l-
to the large mind of the military or
ganization.
When a man has become so well disc
cipifned that he ceases to think Of
himself as an Individual, but considers
the whole organization, the first eff
feet of discipline has become marked.
Because men are being trained in
what the Indian called too much sa-
lutte" they will be fit for the day of
action when, with wen-ordered nerves,
with their sense of observation well
trained and their muscles highly devel-
oped, it will no longer be "too little
