CERMANY'S NEW ARMY.

N/HEN Germany by the terms of the coming peace
w treaty is forced to accept military system based
upon voluntary service the pages Of history will be turned
back quite distance. Universal military service in the
modern sense began during the French Revolution when
France fighting the whole Of Europe. 1t adopted
in Prussia following the defeat Of Jena in 1906 and the
provision in the peace terms being drawn up at Paris that
the term Of service shall be II years indicates that the
military men advising the peace commissioners have that
particular point in Pnssan history we'll in mind.
After Jena the military strength Of Prussia limited
but the Prussans completely circumvencd that provision
by adopting what was known as the krumper system by
which men served but brief term with the colo and
passed to reserve force. In this manner large body Of
trained troops was soon created The result that when
the wars Of the Liberation began Prussia was much better
prepared than the number Of men actually under arms
seemed to indicate That system in its main points lasted
right down to the beginning Of the great war Moreover
it existed in France Austria Italy and some of the smaller
nations Of Europe.
By requiring that the term of service be fixed at II
years the peace commissioners will guard against repe-
dton Of German military history Of the carly period Of the
Nineteenth century. 1t quite likely on the other hand
to develop highly efficient, although small professional
army. What influence that would have upon the future
of Europe it will be impossible to even guess until
known what armament the other states to be permitted
to have and how it will be organized.

MINE WORKERS FOR LAW AND

West Virsinian. Permit me space in
your valuable paper for few lines in
answer to the publication in Wednes.

United Mine Workers of America,
making threat against endorsements
of Red Flag and Police bills.
On the Gath OF February, when this
resolution was being circularized
throughout Districts No. 90 and II, the
officials of the Mine Workers, In Dis.
trict No. II. sent out circular letters
from both the Charleston and Fair,
mont offices, advising local unions
against any such action, taken by 10.
cal Union 1901, located at Ramage, w,
Va. Upon investigation, we found
that but one or two men drew up this
resolution, and presented 1t to the To-.
cal when there we're but very few
present. The majority of the members
of this local union are opposed to any
such resolution. There may be some
local unions who have adopted radi.
cal resolutions, but they do not speak
forrthe Mine Workers as a whole.
The letter spoken about above, is as
follows, and was sent out on Febru.
