Although reluctant to criticise the GEN.
eral Staff, Gen. Mitchell said he did not
believe its plan for the reorganization
of the army gave aviation the impor-
lance 1t deserved. The plan does not
put aviation on an equality with infan-
try, artillery or cavalry. but would make
1t an auxiliary wing, thus undermining
morale. he claimed.
The United States. he said, as a mat
ter OF national defence, should consider

Polar Star and Some of
the Wonders of This Great
Beacon of the Far North

Most people, IL they know nothing
else Of astronomy, at any rate know
the pole star, the one star which seems
to keep It's place In the heavens with
out movement Of any kind. There are
great many, however, says the
Rehoboth Sunday Herald. who do not
know what wonderful thing 1t is, in
the first place, it can be seen when
looked at through good telescope to
be two stars and not one. There Is
one fairly bright one. Of what is known
as the second magnitude, and another
of the ninth magnitude close to 1t.
BUT that is not all. The brighter Of
the two is really three stars revolving
round one another. or, rather, round
their common center Of gravity. like
three children playing "ring ring Of
roses"
This secret Is revealed to as by what
is perhaps the most astonishing Of all
scientific instruments, the spectroscope.
1t not only tells us what the stars are
made Of, but whether they are moving
toward us or away from us.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing north. The reason
that 1t does not appear to move as the
others do is that 1t is nearly in line
with the axis Of the earth. Its dis
tance from us is enormous. This can
be judged from the fact tffnt although
the earth in its journey around the sun
is today about 19OOO0,OOO miles from
where it was six months ago, that
makes no appreciable difference to its
distance from the pole star. 1t must
therefore be many times 190,000,000
miles away.

Millions Of Boys and Girls
Have Physical Defects Which
Impede Their Development

Fifty per cent of 25.O00,O00 boys and
girls Of school age in this country have
physical defects and ailments which
impede their normal development, ac-
cording to the annual report Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the national phys
ical education service. The estimate
was made following numerous investi-
CATIONS conducted by members OF the
committee.
A lack of proper physical education.
such as play, athletics, work and GYM
nastlcs was attributed by the commit
tee as the cause for the physical disa-
bility, and a broad program Of state
and federal legislation for the re-
quired education was urged as q means
OF bringing children to the proper
standard.

The allied peace delegates at Paris
were occupied last week mainly in pre-
pairing to hand out to Austria what is
coming to her, and In listening to the
wails, official and unofficial. of the
Germans over the treaty that awaits
their signature.
Austria's delegates. headed by Chan
ceIlor Karl Renner, were received and
housed at st. Germain. They were
treated with good deal more cordial
ity than were the Germans at Yer-
sailles, and were given quarters in
pleasant villas TINT overlook the Seine
valley and Paris. with no high fences
or sentrles to restrict their move

pcared In good hum0r and hopeful Of
lenient treatment. and seemed to ap-

the cosmopolitan crowd of journalists
and others that met them. Chancel-
lor Renner spoke In German but ex-

play also will be made to secure the
sympathy of Socialists all over the
world for what the Hun leaders call

One of the most seriously taken of
the German objections was to the
treaty terms concerning labor reforms,
and with 1t was sent draft of an
international agreement on labor law.
To this the allies replied at length,
showing that the treaty fully covered
all the points uaised and that its pro-
visions were more satisfactory than
those In the German proposition.
wherefore the allied and associated
governments are "of the opinion that
their decisions give satisfaction to the
anxiety which the German delegate
processes for social justice and insure
the realization of reforms which the
working classes have more than ever
right to expect after the cruel trial
to which the world has been subjected
during the last five years."
Yet another German note dealt with
the economic aspect Of the peace
terms, declaring that IL enforced they
would bring death to s'many millions
of people in Germany, all the more
quickly as the nations health Is al
ready broken by the blockade"
While these diplomatic exchanges
were goin& on. President Ebert, Chan
cellor SeMeidemann and others were
infiaming the German people with vio-
lent denuncIations of the treaty and
declarations that Germany never
would submit to 1t. All of them harp
ed on the alleged abandonment of the
fourteen points by the allies. and Pres
ident Wilson was bitterly attacked as
a traitor to mankind and a weakling
who has betrayed the trust that had
been reposcd In him by the people
of Germany. President Ebert told his
applauding hearers that he feared an
outbreak of psychic furor teutoni-.

wrath of the soul of the people when
it reached the boiling point would
know no bounds as result Of the deep
disappointment and anger born of fury
