For Universal Training.

Soldiers of the Rainbow division are re-
ported to have returned from France enthusiast
tic advocates of universal military training for
America. This sentiment is directly opposite
that looked for by pacihsts and other OPP
ponents. 1t is the outcome of experience, how
ever. Some may attach weight to the fact that
the members of the Rainbow outfit were in the
National Guard before going into the federal
service. This is true, but the fact that they
come out of the trying ordeal of war more than
ever impressed with the need of training for all
our youth should strengthen rather than weaken
the value of their opinion. Generally the value
of military training as an asset in life is be-
coming understood, while its Importance to the
nation is admitted wherever it has been soberly
thought of. It is no longer charged that knowl-
edge gained through drill and discipline, wherein
the individual is trained to use his own powers
and faculties to better advantage and gets
complete working knowledge of the application
OF mass as we'll as unit strength, will lead to the
menace of militarism in the republic. Anything
that develops the man power of the country,
establishes reliance and capacity among the
young and teaches self-restraint and the value
of citizenship, is good for everybody, and that
is the ultimate purpose of universal training.

League With France.

President Wilson is said to be seriously con-

but will postpone decision Until he has had op-

ing to France assurance that its peaceful recov-
cry from the shock of war is not to be disturbed
by the menace Of possible invasion from Ger
many. French resources of men and wealth are
almost exhausted. Even with the certainty of
peace, the restoration of French industry and
commerce, the rehabilitation of the devastated
area Is a matter for years. Given every op-
portunity, France will scarcely get back to
where it was in 1914 within generation, and
even then it will still be carrying an enormous
load of debt Foch demanded guarantees in the
way of territory; America and England hesita-
ted at this, being reluctant to sanction even in
such an emergency any approach to annexation.
1t was adherence to this principle that caused
the split with Italy over Fiume In lieu of
this then, the alliance is sought. With
definite understanding, published to the world
that America and England will stand with
France to defend against any aggression from
any source Germany, even restored to the inn

J A Way Out Russia

From the tone of the bolshevik report OF
revolt in Petrograd against the soviet govern
ment the situation might be judged as serious
for the bolshevists if taken at its face value.
Hasty conclusions are to be avoided, but nope
of a solution of the Russian problem rests upon
the possibility of such a revolt against Lenine
and Trotzky by the factions supposed to have
risen against the dictators in Petrograd.
n If Russia is ever to be governed by repre-
sentatives of the masses under genuine majority
rule the power must pass to the menshevlks
and social revolutionaries, who have a numeri-
cal superiority throughout the country. This will
not mean government such as exists in the rest
of Europe, for it will be, socialistic govern
ment more radical than any in existence save
only the bolshevik but it will be a. decided I'M
provement over the present regime.
The social revolutionaries, the party of Pie
kanoh and Kerensky are mostly peasants and
intellectuals as opposed to the wage-earning
proletariat in the industrial centers, led by
Lenne. The social revoutionaries have secured
majority in every election since the revolution
and dominated by the constituent assembly,
which was dissolved by the bolsheviki after the
fall of Kerensky. When the bolshevists call the
social revolutionares the agents" of Denikine,
Kolchak and the allied imperialists, they are
propagatng lies for their own purposes. The
only thing these factions have in common is
their hatred of the bolshevists =
If real revolt could be inaugurated by these
slements, Russia would have completed circle
and would be back where it was when Kerensky
was in power. Since the war is over, the allies
could support sucn government to the limit,
although it would be soeialistic. 1t would mean
the restoration of order and it would be really
representative of the Russian masses

Many ancient families in England
have stored away life-sized figures
in wax Of their ancestors, made at
the time Of the originals death. For
example, the duke\ Of Norfolk has
the figures Of three wives of one of
his ancestors, which are kept in a
glass case at one ofNhis country seats.
Most of these effigies were made by
Italians, and it was from Italy that
the idea came.
One of the results of the war is an
important reform in court-martial
procedure in the British army. An
accused soldier sentenced to, death
is now at once informed of his fate.
Formerly, finding and sentence were
not announced until after "confirma-
tion," with the result that man
might be executed before he had any
time to appeal on legal or other
grounds. Now If sentenced to death
the accused must be so informed at
once, and given a reasonable time
to lodge an appeal before confirma-
ton.

shutter cuts off the light during the
shift to the picture following. The
mission of the projecting machine is
to finish each picture sufficiently
fast enough as to cause the images to
overlap on the retina, that is, to give
the eye a new image before the pre-

NEW COVENANT FOR LEAGUE.

The revised covenant for the League of Ma
tons shows not only material notifications but
great improvement No modern instance more
effectively proves >the value of constructive
criticism. Objections raised by senator's, who
were soundly scolded by supporters of the pres
ideht, have been met in an intelligent way, and
the articles OF agreement now contemplate the
erection of league on a workable basis. With
out in any way detracting from the principles
on which the league is to rest, its existence as
an active, efficient agency in the affairs of men
is made the more certain because the obligations
it lays on members have been more clearly and
explicitly stated
= Ambiguity that surrounded several of the
most important of its proposed powers has been
eliminated, and it is now set forth, for example,
that unwilling nations can not be required to
accept mandatory responsibility for any Of the
wards of the league. Nor can the league set
limit on the armament of member nation
NOR require specified force for any purpose
from a member. Domestic concerns of each
nation are beyond the control of the league
and membership may be terminated on two
years notice and the ful6llment of all obliga-
tons up to the time of withdrawal These
changes all were brought about because of
criticism from Americans who were opposed,
not to League of Nations, but to the incom-
plete form of the original draft of the covenant.
As it now stands it is quite likely to be
adopted. Little doubt is expressed as to its
ratification in its present form, with the United
States as member in good standing from the
jump-off. We may expect to be asked to as
sumo portion of the mandatory obligations
of thA ew oroauiza tiop ht that ia a matter for
future decision. just now the main point is to
get the peace treaty signed and the big league
set into operation. 1t will be needed in all its
force to give moral support to the treaty and
therefore can not he long delayed.

Farmers and the Daylight" Law.

Nebraska farmers have made up their minds
that they do not care for the daylight law. 1t
is perfectly good schedule on which to carry
on urban life, for industries that can start and
stop\with the foot of the whistle, and whose
normal activities are exclusively regulated by
the clock, have little or no difficulty in adjust
ing themselves to any sort of monkey-business
the majority may determine on. When it comes
to agriculture, different story is told. Sue
cess on the farm depends on other things than
we'll directed and consistently applied energy
Man is not consulted with regard to. Weather
conditions, and Old Sol wheels his way across
the sky in utter disregard of mundane divisions
of time. So the farmer must regulate his occu-
pational program accordingly, and is governed
by the processes of nature in planting, cultivat-
ing and harvesting This presents no difficulty
that might not be overcome were other things
equal. However, the hired man enters into the
equation, and he has imbibed certain definite
notions in regard to hours of work. Therefore,
in order to make his time schedule square sonnet
what with that of nature, the farmer finds it
necessary to overlook the arbitrary adjustment
undertaken in the effort to Save daylight" and
go to work and quit on the old schedule.
"Plow deep while sluggards sleep" has lost none

And il Billy loses. he will have to

Oh, then he can have the best
place in this fishing hole, but even
that isn't very good, for I've caught
only one little sunfish all the time
was here" said the lad. That's
why l was feeling blue and discour-
aged when you came"
With my new tackle we are sure
to catch a lot" boasted Billy. In
minute they were all three fishing,
Billy with his new outfit, Peggy with
pole Billy had cut for her, and the
red-headed lad--who said that his
name was Pat-with a cane rod and
an old kite string.
But though they fished diligently,
luck was not with them. They got
only nibbles on their lines, just
enough to show them that there
really were fish in the pool No
wonder Pat had felt blue.
After awhile Peggy felt sharp
tug on her line, then a jerk, and a
strong pull Up came her pole and
there, wriggling at the end of her
line was a large fish. Peggy, much
excited, put all her strength into
drawing the fish from the water.
with the result that she flung 1t
far up among the leaves Of an over
hanging tree. Back dropped the
hook and line almost instantly. but
the fish was no longer fastened to
them. 1t had vanished.
Peggy, Billy and Pat looked up
into the tree, thinking the fish might
have been caught in the branches.
and Pat even Skinned up the trunk,
for the fish was too fine and large
to lose, but no fish could he find.
While the three were wondering
where it had gone to, powerful
tug bent Billy's fishing rod almost
double. Billy pulled and pulled with
all his strength, dragging from the
water a fish even larger than the
one Peggy had hooked. So great
was the force of Billy's jerk that the
fish went flying far back among the
weeds. When Billy swung the pole
forward, the hook and line came
quickly enough, but there was no
fish fastened to them. Quickly all
three ran to search among the weeds
but the second fish also had van
ished.
They marveled over this but just
then came pull on Pats line, pull
SO vigorous that it nearly snatched
the pole from his hands. Pat jerked
desperately on the pole, and out
came third fish, the largest Of all.
