THREE R" MINES

BY WAY OF EXCULPATION.

It is barren mind that can't think up excuses and
now some well meaning apologsts have forward to
excuse the Kaiser.
Careful scrutiny of his recent demeanor in Holland
they say indicates that he is insane His grandoquent
and theatrical behavior points to paranoia He has for
some years suffered from form of MANIA manifested
in his frequent illusions to the Almighty his confden-
al partner And he is insane he deserves pity rather
than blame.
This lets out Wilhelm. The German people have al
ready been let out because have been repeatedly told
that they entered the at the behest of their emperor
and not Of their own desire.
So one Is to blame. Millions of homes have been
desolated, millions of have been unspeakaby mutt
lated, millions killed Millions of have been
atrocously mistreated. No ones fault
And yet one wonders why nation failed to detect
insanity in its sovereign when he precptated and pro-
longed the boodest catastrophee of all time. nation
that countenanced such sovereign without imputing to
him either unacy crime is itself either criminal or

AVital Relation between Camp and School

Why men fail to get commissions is
the subject of the following letter issu-
ed by the Wal Department from sta
tistics gathered by Major Lindsey
Blayney of the Infantry Reserve
Corps:
"The qualities of mind and spirit to
which | shall refer are such as would
not only make a man a better candi-
date for military preferment but rem
der him better able to meet the re-
sponsibilities OF a man and a citizen.

by proper attention in u high

leges, might be characterized by the
general word, "slouchiness." | refer
to what might be termed a mental and
physical Indifference. | have observed
many otherwise excellent men who
have failed because in u school sys-
tenn sufficient emphasis is not placed
upon the avoidance of this mental and
physical handicap. In the work of
the better Government Military
Schools of the world, this slackness in
thought, presentation, and bearing is
not tolerated because the aim of all
military training is accuracy. At mil
itary camps throughout the country,
mental alertness, accuracy in thinking
and acting, clearness in enunciation,
sureness and ease of carriage and
bearing must be insisted upon for two
reasons; that success may be assured
as near as human effort can guarantee
it with the material and means at
hand, and that priceless human lives
may not be Criminally sacrificed. IN
ly by IT,. possession of the qualities
referred to, does one become a natural
leader.

almost impossible it is to correct this
after the formative years of life.

ALL NOW IN READINESS
FOR LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE

All is in readiness for the Fourth
Liberty Loan drive which starts today
Saturday.
This Friday evening, at the Com
munity Sing in front of the City Hall,
the campaign will be launched with a
speech by Assemblyman Underwood
Cochran. Everybody is invited to hear
him.
Beginning Saturday and continuing
until the end of the Loan, Mrs. Robert
M. Willis, chairman of the Women's
Committee, has arranged to have daily
during banking hours at each of the
banking institutions of the city a lady
to sell Bonds and give all information
desired.
Mrs. Willis has appointed workers
for the city, Mrs. Leland Madden be-
ing captain of the First Ward and
Mrs. Halvor L. Harley captain of the
Second Ward. Miss Mary Johnson is
lieutenant in the First Ward, Mrs. ia
phet Price lieutenant in the Second
Ward, and Mrs. Hannah Eckert John
son lieutenant for Risleytown. Mrs.
Charlotte Hill is captain for the color
ed district, with Mrs. Stives and Miss
Leah Miller as lieutenants. A meet
ing was held at Mrs. Willis home on
Thursday evening, when an excellent
address or craftsmanship vas given by
Frederick w. Stewart.
Mrs. Willis will donate a War Saw
ings Stamp to the child in the city
selling the largest amount of bonds,
and another to the Boy Scout making
the greatest amount of sales. The
public schools will take an unusual
part in the sale. a quota to be estab-
lished for each room, and the rivalry
is expected to be very keen.
The use of automobiles on Sunday
for promoting the Liberty Loan Cam
paign, which begins IN September %,
is regarded by the United States Fuel
Administration as entirely within the
spirit of the Sunday saving of gasoline
request, according to a statement just
issued by Fuel Administrator Garfield.
Pleasantville will again undoubtedly
go over the top, as she has on all pre-
vious drives.
