"Just AS Good"

The plan to abolish conscription in
Germany and to limit the future Teuton
army to 100000 long term volunteers
sounds plausible enough The chief merit
of the scheme is that it should prevent
Germany from squeezing millions of her
young men through the military drilling
machine, and from thus accumuating
huge reserves of trained soldiers. With
the end of conscription in Germany,
other nations would also be released from
its burdens.
Still, before we start out celebrating
the end of German militarism we may
do we'll to weigh what the Germans
have to say on the subject. Listen to the
military critic Of the Vossische Zeituno:
more than ever the foundation of our
future army must be our system of edu-
cation. This education must be
rounded off by term of national labor
service and military training, culminat-
ing in series of large military associa-
tions."
Nothing could be more simple. The
Allies won't allow Germany to maintain
so and so many infantry divisions, cav
airy brigades, field batteries. Germany
should worry! She will have nice round
number of rife clubs, horsemen's associa-
tlons and gunnery circles. Fire depart
ments will, in off hours, engage in flam-
menwerfer practice. Ball games will be
supervised by hand grenade experts.
Lest the Allies should grow apprehen
slve, the Germans may abolish the Mir
istry of War and put the whole system
under the Ministry of Education or
newly formed Department of Public
Pastimes The General Staff may be re-
named Special Sunday School Commits
sion or Amateur Chess Players Soviet
Herr Gothen, member of the National
Assembly, clothes the same idea into a
more subtle form, as subtlety goes in
Germany. Writing in the Berliner Taoe-
btatt, this gentleman shudders at the
possibility that the Allies may compel
Germany to abandon conscription. If
that happens. he writes. the enormous
educational value inherent in conscrip-
ton will be lost to the nation. In that
case 1t will be imperative to consider what
methods can be substituted Thus. af-
ter food-substitute, wool-substitute. con.
science-substitute Germany shall have IN
army-substitute. Ersntz-Armee sounds
even better. Herr Gothein'a chief con-
Germ embraces tho good old prugejan
spirit: owe must enact measured In nre.
serve and even heightcn in the German
people the sense OF order and subordina-
tion Neither must physical training
suffer-~ln this respect term Of service
and exercise will do a lot of good"
In other words, let's call the drill
sergeant Herr Professor and leave the
rest to him.
And when military expert declares
in the Frank}urter Zeitung that the troll
bic with the old system of universal mill
tary service was that it was not unjvcr.
sal enough our picture of prescnt.day
German anti-miitarism becomes all but
complete. More than a hundred wears
ago Scharnhorst applied short-t term CON
scrlption to circumvcnt the limits i'm
posed by Napoleon on the numbers of the
Prusslan army. Today when the Allies
threaten to suppress conservation. Ger
man inventive genius is laboring on
new subterfuge. It's the old race be-
tween the policeman and the criminal.

MR. HOhENZOLlERN PEACE PROCEEDINGS BECOMING IRRITABLE MAY BG PUBLISHED
Under Restrictions Which He Is Plac- ed by his Physicians and the. Dutch Government.

Emerongen, Holland, Thursday, Jan 16.-(By The Associated Press. )-The immediate cause of William Hohen- zollern's repeated chills is, according to authoritative. information, over- heating while performing his favorite exercise of saving and chopping wood The former emperor was accustomed to this work before the war, and when he was informed that his walks in the neighboring woods called for the services of too many guards in order to prevent his being pestered by various spectators, and perhaps al- so molestation of a more serious ma. ture, William decided to resume his old pastime, within the Castle pre- cincts.
 William Hohenzollern's freedom of movement is not only restricted by the state of his health, but also by the Dutch who besides watching over his personal security, stepped in to prevent him from removing to Count 1 Pueckler's Castle at Belmonte, near l Wageningen, which they declared was unsuited.
 | The ex-emperor is becoming in- creasingly irritable under unaccustom- ed restrictions, and this feeling is augmented by the gradual departure of many of his old servants who find life in Holland under the circumstan- ces, unbearable. Dutch domestics, who are filling their places, do not attain the same perfection of obeis- ance as the imperial servants, who for years, were accustomed to foresee the requirements of their sovereign.
 It is probable that before many weeks, the entire German personnel will have disappeared, and the former monarch, who never could do any sim- rlo thing for himsel., in the way of dressing, will be cast on his own re- sources.
 His recent ailments have had a marked effect on his physical and mental condition, which is small won der, when such man has had to sur render to any array of salves for the ear and rose; gargles for the throat, pills and other medicines. At various hours of the day he is compelled to take something or Other ofthiskind. His wife, who acts as his nurse is always in attendance to see that he executes the physicians order. Frau Hohenzolle~n is now in fairly pc v! health and goes o1t occasionally to tea.

At the Instance of President Wilson ClOture Rule is Held in Abey. ance; British and Americans Pleased.

Paris, Thursday, Jan. 16.-(By the Associated Press. )--At the instance of President Wilson the Supreme Inter-allied council decided today to hold in abeyance the proposed rule for virtual secrecy regarding it's de- Alterations, beyond information giv- en in official statements. It was de- cided to request representatives of the British, American and Italian press to present some plan for re- porting the meeting.
 It was said in American circles here today that the stir caused by yesterdays action was not at all un- welcome to the British and Amer r1can officials who were willing to work for broader ruie which would open the proceedings to the public view to some extent at least. British correspondents held a meeting and adopted a resolution asking that one British press representative be ad- mtted to the sitting of the congress. American correspondents also adopt ed resolution declaring they would be satisfied with nothing less than access to all deliberations.
 These resolutions were brought before a meeting at which were present representatives of the press from all the nations associated i'll the war against Germany. A com mittee was appointed to report to- morrow a plan of reporting the de. Alterations which will be presented to the peace delegation tomorrow. The proposition to make details of the meeting of correspondents secret was rejected.
 Rigid Censorship Intended.
 The question of making public the proceedings of the peace congress continues to be subject of discus sion by French press. The Temps remarked tonight:
 'It was said last night that the censor would henceforth watch with especial attention what is written regarding the congress and would pitilesslv cut out everything that goes beyond the official statements. In fact, yesterdays decision (the de- cisicn of the peace delegates as to secrecy) is perhaps neither absolute or final. It seems indeed. that the question became more embarrassing whn it was considered that it would necessarily apply to the British and American press the same rules as are laid down for French papers"
 This comment brought out re- hinder in American official circles that before President Wilson's de- parture for Europe it was announced officially at Washington that at the presidents personal request that both the British and French govern ments had raised all censorship re- strictions on news dispatches to America concerning the peace con- gress.
 Virtually all this mornings ses- sion of the supreme council was talk en up hy a discussion of whether the peace congress will be open or clos ed Afterward MT. Wilson worked in his study and late in the dsv went for drive He went to the Champs Flysee theatre with American off cials tonight, and enjcYed produc- ton entitled Annex Revue. 1918" given by "The Argonne Players most of whom were soldiers with histricnic talent.

COUNTY FACING
 A HUMILIATING
 ADVERTISEMENT
Unless Armenian Drive Quota Is Raised, Will Be Branded As A Stacker.
Jefferson county fails in it's quota." Jefferson county as usual goes over the top."

One or the other of these telegrams will be sent to the headquarters in Little Rock of the Armenian relief work and wired to New York. They have asked me to wire the result to both headquarters in Little Rock and New York. Our drive is ten days ahead of all of them and they want this for the benefit it will have on other counties in the state and other states. If 1 have to send the first telegram whose fault will it be- I have worked night and day to put it over. The call is the most appealing than any we have ever had. Just $12,5OO to save hu- man beings from starving to death, millions of them. over the United States because it was the first county in the United States to give up it's flour. This ad went all over the world in Associated Press and International News Service dis patches. The next message that will go over the world is that Jefferson county, that gave up it's flour when the war wa son subscribed for nearly $2, 100000 dollars worth of Liberty bonds of one issue fails to give few thousand dollars when the little babies are starving to death.
 All Must Give.N Listen, Friend! do you want the other fellow to give it. Some have given more than was their portion to give. Others who have not seen the great need have given little or noth- ing. Every man and woman, the Chamber of Commerce, the industrial plants and every citizen ought to put their might in the drive tomorrow and help us raise this money. Don't you really think so.

NOTICE TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

After January /, 1920, the sub
ecription price Of the Spirit of JEFF
ferson viii be $125 a year to all
subscribers in Jefferson county, and
$3.50 year to all those whose adj
dress is outside Of jefferson County.
1t is with great reluctance that we
announce this advance, as it has al
ways been our aim to keep the sub
sc1iption price of the Spirit of
Jefferson as low as possible. But
paper, other material, labor and
nearly everything else going toward
the making of paper has about
doubled, and it is impossible for us
to absorbe all this increase in the cost
of production without advancing the
subscription price, and we have no
doubt that our subscribers will re-
alize the reanonableness of our do
ing so.
The reason that we make the price
higher outside of the County than in
the County, is that under the zone
postal rates it costs us considerable
more to mail papers outside of the
county. Assuring our subscribers
that we value their patronage very
highly, and that We are only raising
the price because we are compelled
to do so, we take this occasion to
thank them for past favors, and hope
that they will continue to receive the
Spirit of Jefferson in the years to
come.

FOR BOTH REPUBLICAN
AND DEMOCRATIC NOMI-

A special from Charleston to the
Washington Sunday Star says:
Fred Paul Grosscup, of this
city, a former Speaker of the
West Virginia State Assembly, will
formally announce tomorrow his
candidacy for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor of West Vir-
ginia. There are two others already
in the race and several on the fence
E. F. Morgan resigned from the Pub
lie Service Commission to become a
candidate, and Samuel B. Montgom-
cry. State Commissioner of Labor,
hopes to lead the G. o. p. to victory
next November and has made dec
laration to that effect.
John S. -Darst, State Auditor, who
was probably the first of the pros
pective candidates to sound out Re-
publican sentiment, appears to have
been disappointed. He has curtailed
his activity considerably, although he
insists that he has not dropped out.
Attorney General, E. T. England is
among those who "still might rum"
and Morris p Shawkey, State Super
intendent of Schools, is undecided
whether to enter the gubernatorial
race or seek another term in his
present Office which he would be more
certain to land.
There has not been a concrete move
made so far in the Democratic camp.
Congressman Mansfield NJ. Neeley
was considered by party leaders as
the strongest man for the Democratic
standard bearer, but he quickly ex-
ploded the boom by announcing that
ne would not be candidate for Gov
ernor under any consideration. He
plans to get another term in Congress
from the first district and then make
a try for berth in the United States
Senate. Owen Mckinney and Stew
art Bowen have been mentioned as
probable candidates for governor on
the Democratic end. The incumbent,
Governor John J. Cornwell, is a
Democrat.
