tal-y efficiency by physical defects that
could be corrected in early youth by
proper training. We are subjected to
enormous wastage from the standpoint
of economic and industrial efficiency.
These are losses which the nation can
i'll afford In view OF the coming contest
for industrial supremacy.
The physical condition Of the young
manhood of the nation. as brought to
our attention by the draft. is cause for
great anxiety Roughly speaking, 70 per
cent OF the men who were of military
service were gent TO the training camps
for induction into the service and 30 per
c=nt were rejected unit. This was
after all the exemptions had been made
for family. business and other reasons.
What Records Show.
u ''Of the 40 per cent. who were sent to
the training caInps. per cent were re-
jected as unfit for military service. and
this under standards as to physical re-
ouirements which were much lower than
those in effect in the regular army In
time of peace; that is to say. men were
taken with minor defects which would
cause their rejection by the regular
army under peace time requirements.
Many OF the physical defects were of
"a character which could have been easily
corrected III eHTiy lOulil through
training and exercise. Others could
have been very much benefited. Flat
chests, spinal curvatures. deformities
lat feet wretched muscular develop
irent. defective teeth and slow co-or-
diaation Of mind and muscles were COM
mon. And this among the 30 per cent
who were sent TO Us as presumably fit
for service. What the condition of the
remaining 30 per cent. was Can readily
be imagined.
Again, many men were exempted as
obviously physically unfit. and were not
brought before the boards for physical
examination. 1t Is safe to say that 80
per cent. Of our men were unfit for Geld
service in war. This is bad enough from
the military standpoint. but it is even
more serious from the standpoint OF in
dustltal efficiency"
Things to Remember.
There was very large proportion OF
men with hookNrorm with its attendant
aneInia and slugglshncss of mind and
muscle. Indeed. the enttre situation was
one which indicated the need OF much
broader and deeper interest on the part
OF the state In the welfare Of its youth,
the establishment os measures looking
to the building up OF physical trimming,
and general sanitary supervision in pub
lie schools and In all places where the
youth come under the supervision and
control of the state.
There was also n large percentage OF
vice diseases. indicating the Importance
OF ernpha sizing the dangers to which
youth Is subjected. and the need of
more thorough instruction on this point.
Carelessness concerning the person
brought out very forcibly the necessity
OF more careful teachings in matters that
have to do with personal hygiene.

I guess you think that when a man gets crippled that he is not good enough to lieve. Gods curse be upon you and your family that you shall have sickness, misfortunes, pro- secutions and affiictions that you shall get out crippled or blind on the streets of your town and get some other smart fool like yourself to get after you, like yourself did after me, then you shall relize how it makes the other fellow feal when you get after him.

TREATY DEBATE OPENS THIS WEEK
Consideration by Committee on Foreign Relations Begins To- day-Will Try to Pass Day light Repeal Over Veto.

Washington, July 13.-Considera- tion by the Senate of the peace treaty with it's league of nations covenant, actually to open tomorrow with the meeting of the foreign relations com mittee transcends in interest anything expected to come before congress this week.
 Both branches of congress, how ever, have a busy legislative week ahead with the debate on prohibition enforcement legislation expected to continue in the House, and final dispo- sition of the agricultural and sundry civil appropriations bill, vetoed by the president, to be decided.
 The Senate foreign relations com mittee, to which the peace treaty was sent Thursday, will hold a special meeting tomorrow to decide on the course to be followed in considering the document.
 The immediate program for con- sideration of the treaty, Republican leaders said tonight, will be it's care ful study by the foreign relations committee. In this connection it is planned to act on several resolutions calling upon the state department for papers needed by the committee in it's examination of the treaty. There are the resolutions of Chairman Lodge requesting a copy of the alleged secret treaty between Japan and Germany; of Senator Borah of Idaho, Republi- can, requesting a copy of an alleged memorandum by Secretary Lansing, Colonel House and General Bliss, pro- testing against the Shantung agree ment, and of Senator LaFollette, Re- publican, of Wisconsin, calling for papers concerning alleged action by Costa Rica on peace questions.
 Debate in the Senate on treaty sub jects will be renewed tomorrow with prepared address by Senator Swan son, of Virginia, Democratic member of the foreign relations committee, who discussed peace subjects at length recently with President Wilson.
 The House tomorrow will take up as special business the $24,000,000 agricultural appropriation bill, vetoed by President Wilson yesterday be- cause of it's daylight saving repeal rider Action is planned to override the presidents veto, although advo- cates of the repeal provision are doubtful of obtaining the necessary two-t thirds majority. If the veto is sustained it is proposed to re-pass the appropriation bill without change in it's money provisions and with the daylight clause eliminated. The meas ure, it is believed then, would be passed immediately by the Senate and champions of the repeal legislation would be forced to turn to the separ- ate bill passed by the House early in the session for abandonment of day light saving.
 The prohibition enforcement bill, upon which general House debate closed yesterday, will follow the agri- cultural appropriation bill with wide discussion under the five minute rule.

PERSHING'S JOB
 NEARLY FINISHED
Chaumont Headquarters Are Abandoned and Commander May Come Home SO0n-Re- cords Are Being Shipped.

Chaumont, France, July 12.-Chau- mont, for two years the center of ac- tivities of the American expeditionary farce, today passed into history as American general headquarters with the departure of General J. J. Persh- ing and his staff for the new head quarters in Paris.
 The populace had been apprised of the departure of the American com mander-in-chief through the old method of beating drums and reading a proclamation from the mayor by the town crier. Men, women and >chil- dren attempted to shake General Per shing by the hand as he left the city |hall. Those who were unable to reach him shook hands with Major General Harbord, the chief of staff and other officers.
 The vanguard of the working force at American headquarters left for Paris Friday night. The new head quarters is at 45 Avenue Montaigne. Washington, July 13-Preparations for the early return of General Persh- ing and his personal staff from France is indicated, army officials said today, in recent dispatches from abroad. Grating of the volumnous records of the expeditionary forces at the central records office has been practically completed and shipment to seaport is about to begin. Army orders have been issued conferring upon Major General Allen, new commander of the American forces on the Rhine, many of the prerogatives held by General Pershing and recent transport sailings have shown an increasing number of casual officers" whose work has been intimately connected with the general headquarters at Chaumont.
 Reports of friction between General Pershing and General March, chief of staff, were declared today to be with out foundation by war department officials whose duties here place them in position to see everything which passed between those officers That there have been instances of decided differences of opinion is admitted, but even these cases were said to have been exceptional.

BIG DIRIGBLE LANDS IN ENGLAND
BRA Makes Trip Home in 75 Hours-VOyage is Without Mishap and Landing is Made Successfully.

pulham, Norfolk, England, July 13.
 Great Britain's mammoth trans-At- lantic air pioneer, the dirigible R-34, orr;ved at the air station here at 6:56 o'clock Greenwich mean time today, completing her round trip from the British Isles to the United States and return.
 The R-34 pointed her nose out of the clouds northeast of the village and after circling the flying field three times, glided gently to the ground and ten minutes later was housed in the dirigible shed. The voyage from Long Island was without particular incident and was completed in approximately 75 hours
 Soon after daybreak four hundred men stationed at the airdrome were reused from their sleep to prepare for the landing. Lookouts took position in towers and wireless operators pre- pared to pick up messages from the airship The sun rose bright, but soon afterwards was obscured by clouds. There was no wind and those on watch were confident that the dirigible would arrive on time.
 Shouts from those on the field greet ed the first sight of the long gray body low on the horizon. As the R-34 approached the field she dropped from height of five thousand feet to 2,000 feet. The men who were to aid the airship in landing were ordered to their position and waited silently as the ship circled the field, dropping lower and lower.
 When Major G. H. Scott, her com mander, had maneuvered the airship into position for the landing the water ballast was released to steady her and a rope was thrown from the bow. The rope was grasped by eager hands and the giant ship moved across the field to the shed where the delicate opera ton of berthing her was quickly com pleted without accident.
 "The voyage home has been with out incident" said Major Scott.

 "It is no inconvenience to us to comply with the new law, as I find that it costs less that way, and hire an extra girl, than it does to keep the girls on extra time, and they feel much better and are able to do more work while they are at work"
