Udine has been pillaged and stores and
buildings destroyed wantoniy by intoxi-
Gated troops. The rivalry in stealing, it
is said, has been so great that fights
have broken out between the various
groups of the central powers. In Udine
these fights resulted in the death Il II
Germans and three Bosnians There

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING.
By Burgess Johnson of The vigilantes.

Once upon a time / visited househol
where family discipline was unknown
| do not think it had been neglected as
matter of principle, but more from over
sight or because of sheer lazness. Their
were several children, and now that an
no longer a guest and no names are men
toned, / must say that they were per
nicious little cubs. They turned tina
home into an unlovely place.
| | have seen something of them as they
grew up. They have marked talents o
one sort and another, and they are Ger
tainly individualistic enough, but, so far
they have done very little good in tn,
world, even in their own community
They are either supreme selfish. or they
are trouble makers. The remark Is
commonly heard that Those Joneses
might have amounted to good deal il
only someone had licked them into
shape"
Now and then I meet with radical
who believes in the elimination OF the
family as a unit He is communist,
His arguments are always interesting
and some of them have elements of good
theory for a foundation, but | hate to
think of village full of people who have
had even less of the discipline Of home
life than the Joneses had. ! am not yet
ready to give up the family as useful
institution
Nor am yet ready to give up the ma
tion as an institution. | have talked to
internationaists whose theories were in
teresting, and sometimes based upon ele-
ments OF the truth, but | do not believe
that human beings have yet arrived at
such state of perfection that they can
accomplish as individuals all that needs
to be done. The nation has to accom-
plish good deal yet before it can be
spared. We must maintain it as force
to accomplish great many things that
individuals just now cannot bring about.
Just as I believe in family discipline,
| believe in national discipline. Cubs
must be licked into shape. 1t is non
sense to say that this is antagonistic to
individual liberty. knowledge education
means freedom, and discipline is a
highly essential part of education. Edu-
cation is first function of the family, |
then of the state. II is the business of !
our nation to discipline the youth of the /
land, to train them. to develop them, to
compel them to make the most of them
selves. Universal military discipline

in health, cleanliness, manners. and ODE

20 perform. Our legislators are afraid

Rome. Feb. l4.-1taly's supply of sug-

Crespi forced the demand by withdraw
ing ordinary white or graduated sugar
from the market. Under direction of the
controller large quantity of sugar was
mixed with saccharine in order to effect
sugar saving.
Notices were issued explaining this
fact and also that saccharine was not
harmful, as had been supposed. After a
trial the public pronounced the new war
sugar UNBEATABLE and refused to buy it.

of the new year at the camp were the
arrival of some baseballs and bats and
the opening of the Young Mems Christian

Time had begun to hang heavily on the
hands of the young men being trained
for officers, particularly at nights and
during wet or windy weather, or on days
when there were not enough machines to
keep all busy. In the latter case the
Students for whom there were no ma
chimes had to go through infantry drill

For months there was hardly fresh

the old-fashioned diseases of loneliness
