A NATION OF sNIvELERs.

1t is pretty hard work these days to
stir up emotions of sympathy for the
German statesmen who loudly wall at
he heartless allies for imposing such
hard terms preliminary to the final
1caee treaty. One has only to think
back to the days when the Hun was
irst overrunning Belgium and north
ern France, spreading reign of terror
as a part of military strategy, in the
belief that this would the more quickly
bring victory Then there comes to
mind the threats of the braggart
Hchenzollern tribe when the tide of
battle was flowing rapidly against the
allied armies, and the conviction that
had victory rested on the Prussian
eagle the world would have witnessed
period of reprisal such as had never
been known before.
The truth of the matter is that Ger
many is plainly a nation of snivelers.
Conflicting accounts are coming back
from over the Rhine, il is true, but il is
conceded that Germany is not starry
ing, that she never was near that point,

accepts a stabilized government. TO re-

creating a sympathy that will allow
her to eva" her Just debts, but sh'

tation for 1eraeity is way below par
and she is far from Il realizing sens'

Physical Training in Schools.
(St. Adams Messenger.l

bot- AiUdOs AesSenger.l
The schools throughout the country
are going to be asked to take up phvsi.
cal training of their pupils. In some
states laws for this have already been
passed. The war has brought sharply
to the public mind that we have not been
giving enough attention to the bodies of
our school children and have been giving
them one sided development The
mental has been stressed at the expense
OF the physical. as the draft examinations
have shown. Now it is proposed that a
systematic attempt be made to preserve
health in the bodies of our youths and
to develop them into strong men and
women. To do this is nothing more titan
common sense, for the vigor and health
OF a nation depends upon the vigor and
! health OF its citizens. Physical train
ing IS far superior to school sports, for
IN the sports only the chosen few take
part. and they are those who least need
development. The sports should be con
tinucd, of course, but instead of training
young gladiators and being content to
let It 60 at that, we should straighten
the shoulders and strengthen the muscles
