1T is not difficult to get potatoes

Discipline has to be cultivated sedu-

Military justice thinks about the ma
ton first. because the penalty of mill
tary failure is unthinkable. Civilian
thought does not understand, because
civilian thought is concerned with the
individual who has committed a crime
more than the effect Of the crime on the
nation. No direct result of unpublished
murder is seen. A direct result of dis
obedience in the army is not only seen
but it is felt Disobedience nullifies an
army. 1t is better to have no army
than to have an undisciplined army.
That is why disobedience, even when it
concerns only peeling potatoes and

1T is not a question of Pruss ianized

ENLISTED MANS OPINIONS
ABOUT ABUSE OF UNIFORM
Writer in Service Paper Protests
Against Careless Use of 1t
in Civil Life.

1t is the apparent consensus of opin-
that it was no more than just and fair
for the war department and congress
to permit discharged soldiers to keep
their uniforms. But it must be equally
apparent to the thoughtful that the
olive drab remains. even after its
wearer is returned to civil life. the
symbol of military service. honored
and sustained above any other garb in
peculiarly high estimation. An. infan-
in recent issue of the Army and Navy
Journal. presents at once a protest and
an appeal to those who are discharged
concerning the respect that is due the
clothing of soldier of his country. 1t
is well worth the thoughtful consider
alton of all who wear it:
In behalf of the men who have been
in the army and those who remain
when the present war Is over. | wish
to offer a protest against the very OBJ
vious abuse of the uniform by dis
charged men and others in their civil
ian activities. The following are but
instances: l saw bootblack i'm full
service uniform shining shoes; l saw
what l took to be an ex-soldier parad-
ing the city with plumbers equipmen mt
on his shoulder; he wore the service
uniform. including the hat-cord. soiled,
dilapidated and dirty. The man who
delivered the morning papers at the
barracks today wore the campaign hat,
but cotton breeches, dirty regulation
leggins and blue serge coat. Such
travesties are general and widespread

Paris, April 14.-Although no au-
toritative announcement has been
made of the terms of the settlement
of the Sarre Valley question by the
council of Four. some of the French
newspapers claim that France is to
have the right of operation of the
mines in perpetuity.
other newspapers, however, say
thls is not exact. and that France
rs to have the right of operation of
the coal mines for a term of years.
According to this second theory
eventual extension of French con-
troll OF the mines would depend upon
the result of a plebiscite which, ac-
cording to the supposed terms of set
tlement would be held in ten or fif-
teen years.
The Interpretation of the settle
ment by some of the American dele
gates is that France will get the coal
mines in perpetuitY.

Quite unexpectedly meeting of
the Council of Four was held at 6
