5. M. A. CADETS MEET PANTHER TEAM HERE
Coach Frank Allen Has Been Putting His Squad
 Through Hard Work

Greensboro, October 2.-(Special)-The cadets from the Southern Military acad- emy of Greensboro will journey up to Bir- mingham next Saturday to battle the Panthers from Birmingham-Southern col lege, and will be in fine condition to meet the Magic City aggregation.
 The cadets are being put through the hardest week of the season in order to be in the best condition possible for the Sat urday game which will be the hardest game of their schedule to date, and one of the hardest of the entire season. Coach Frank Allen is anxious to make good showing for his team in Birmingham.
 The military boys are fighting aggre- gation, as shown by their first games this season, and will put up hard fight against the Partners. The Cadets, too, have plenty of weight and experience. The varsity will weigh slightly over ITS pounds while most of the varsity men have had experience on college or high school elevens.
 The fast and shifty bacHneld is com posed of Jones. formera Auburn sec ond string man, at quarter. Nit Green, halfback tor Birmingham-Souther col 1ege last year, at fullback, and Dug Dan- iel, Marion institute star of last year, and Pat Shores, who played with the Southern university and with Birming- ham-SoIthern college last year, at the halfback positions.
 The line is heavy. The stars of the ltne are StraitAn, a former varsity man for the Southern university, at tackle. and Osborne, the star end for Birmingham Southern college last season. These mon are exceptionally good linesmen. and should show up well Tn the coming game. The other line positions are well taken care of.
 Coach Allen is putting his men through hard scrimmages practically every after noon this week, and unless injuries are sustained during the weeks practice the Cadets will journey to the Magic city saturday expecting to give the Birmins- ham collegians' a hard fight for the de- Gi-

BUT THE WAR is NOT YET OVER

Rehabilitation is at last complete, according to a statement
from the war departments. 1t has been fastened, of course, by
the action of congress in strictly limiting the strength o the
from now until new legislation is enacted.
In the chosen language of Secretary Bakers announce
ment "The accident of war and the process of rehabilitation
are at an end" But according to the attorney generals view
tbe statement is premature in so far as it refers to the accl-
dent" That, he suggests, will not be at an emo uhui inc
peace treaty is signed.
1t is a choice legal fiction. The Immediate, if not the sole,
reason for establishing it, of course, is the wartime prohibition
law. Congress declared that that law should cease TO operate
,lpon the termination of the war and the rehabilitation OF the
army-apparently being of the opinion that the accident
would come to an end before the military forces were dis
solved. And, in fact, that has been the order OF events hu'
in law, it seems, there is a question about it.
Germany and Austria are not at war with us, to be sure,
since they have both signed the treaty of peace as we'll as
ceasng hostilities. But we are at war with them, as a legal
technicalty of more or less consequence.

THE REFORMED MIR. FOSTER

When Mr.. Gompers vouched for the conversion OF Mr..
William q. Foster, present leader OF the steel strike, from the
doctrines of the red radicals to those OF constructive orSanlza-
lion he may have been entirely sincere, but the subsequent
revelations prove that he was at least in error. The con-
version of Mr.. Foster is supposed to have occurred immedi-
ately after the convention of radicals at Zurich III 1910, IN
which he sat as a delegate representing the !. W. w. FOLLOW
ing his conversion he joined the constructive forces, accord
ing to his own statement to the senate committee and the
statement of Mr.. GOmpers.
But the committee has since placed i'll the record hDeral
extracts from a pamphlet written by Foster and published
without date, but describing things that happened as lae as
1914, long after he is supposed to have been purged.
And what is this syndicalism of which Mr.. Foster. organ
izer of the steel strike. wrote after his alleged conversion?
Listen: "He, the syndicalist, considers the state a med
ding capitalist institution"
And listen again: HE. the syndicalist, proposes to exclude
il from future society" That means that they propose to
abolish the government.
Listen again: Speaking of those who have saved money
and invested it in no matter what property. he, the syndlcalist,
SIS going to strip them of it, law or no law" These quotations
rlay be found on page % of his book, if you happen to have a
copy of it.
Here are some of the other things that are advocated in
That book: Race suicide, sabotage, murder, anarchy, ana
destruction of the government of the United States.
The steel strike was not a strike of union labor, but it was
IL strike of |. w. W.. syndicalists. Mr.. Gompers, representing
union labor, the constructive program of that organization
opposed the strike, but it was forced over his opposition and
when it had been SO forced he was in turn forced to make the
best of il, or have a schism inn the ranks of labor.
We believe that Mr.. Gompers hopes to control it since
he was not able to stop it. and we can attribute to him the
best and highest of motives in trying to bring labor order
out of the chaos precipitated by the red radicals OF which Foster
and also Fitzpatrick are exponenls. They may lie low and
purr lige old tommy cats while they are getting it started -
but what they are aiming at is far beyond what Mr.. Gompers
in his gentler pnd more thoughtful ways would ever be able
TO stop.
They want to paint the government red-red-red-an
don't be a fool and be deceived about what they are aiming at.

+. NEW Works. TRAINING LAW

There will be widespread interest in. the progress ii 'e
independent experiment in universal training now ABOUT ~
he inaugurated under state law in New lork' compulsory as :"
bows of sixteen, seventeen and eighteen years OF age. The law
includes instruction in civics as well as elementary military
science. physical and vocational training, and, better than all
and underlying all, Americanism.
T The New York authorities start with the advantage OF
HE experience acquired during the war in canyasslng ano
mobilizing those that come under the law, while the Boy
Scouts work as well as that of the army has suggested the cur
riculum. Every boy of the specified ages, whether he is a
school pupil or is at work. must take the course unless eN-
empted for reasons the law provides.
The enrolment shows some twenty-five thousand school
bows and one hundred and eighty thousand working boys
liable to be called up. and by the use of questlOnnalres the
officials have all the information necessary about every one
of them. The administration of the law has been decentral-
lied by dividing the state into training zones, and during the
winter armories or leased halls will be used for the drills and
ether instruction. According to the law. no school in New
York shall hereafter permit a boy of training age to attend
and nj emDloyer shall employ one. unless he has a certificate
showing that he is complying with the provisions OF the new
statute.

WHY LESS WHEAT?

Perhaps never in the annals of a paternal government
certainly not ours-has such advice been given as the depart
nent of agriculture now offers to our wheat growers. ACCORD
ino 10 its surprising proclamation. more wheat should be
sown this fall than was the average in pre- war years, Dut MOI
so much should be sown as last year" Why mot SO much !
Ii is hard to believe that there is any danger OF creating an
uncomfortable surplus of food for some years to come.
The government thus adopts the practice OF those private
interests that have taken it upon themselves to regulate the
volume of the cotton crop in order to maintain wartime prices.
What is in the back Of the minds of the fatherly officials IS
the identical consideration that was brought to bear on the
southern planters to reduce the acreage of their staple. Bumper
wheat crops, if too often repeated, would hahrai! resui. ~
lower prices. That would unquestionably be to the advantage
of the consumer. But the agricultural department, constituting
its function to be solely to conserve the interests OF the farmer,
reasons that lower prices for wheat would be 10 thelr oisau-
vantage. It cannot be sure about that, of course. The eco
nomic situation is altogether too complicated to make 1T safe
to indulge in such a simple guess.
AT any rate, it is a strange spectacle where the head OF
The government and two or three departments are seeking
ways to reduce the cost of living, and one OF the departments
is preaching a doctrine intended to keep it up.

THE LEAGUE AND ALLIANCES

If any additional evidence were needed as to the general
distrust of the proposed league of nations as an effective pre-
ventive of international trouble in the future, it would be
found in the frequent statements by Washington correspond
ents that the Japanese have become alarmed over the prospect
of a refusal from Great Britain to renew the present dual
alliance.
Mr.. Wilson's school of theorists would have us believe that
if the league of nations is set up we can forego all other alli-
ances. War will not be rendered absolutely impossible, in
deed, but it will be SO hedged about with obstacles as to give
the world assurance of continued peace.
That is all well enough on paper, but in the view of
practical statesmen it does not count for so much. Japan knows
very we'll that. being an island empire, she needs naval Co
operation from some quarter; and what country is SO well
suited to her needs as the first naval power of the world?
Great Britain, likewise. according to the correspondents, is
impressed with the desifabnity Of closer relations with the
United States. Viscount Grey, it is generally understood, has
been sent to America to further these relations. But why
is it necessary for him to undertake any such mission if the
league of nations is going to unite every nation on the face Of
the earth in one great and glorious brotherhood?
The French distrust of the league is well known. Glen
enceau has negotiated a treaty with Great Britain and the
United States for the express purpose of protecting France in
case of an mprovoked German aggression. Yet what is the
league for if not to prevent such a disregard of boundaries?
League or no league, there will be international under
standings or agreements of one sort or another. We shall
hear of intrigue within the council and assembly, and in all
rival groups of nations and interests there. Even Mr.. Wilson
and his fellow covenanters cannot change human nature and
suppress nationalistic ambitions.

THE LEOPARD AND HIS SPOTS

There is an ancient and honorable warrant for. saying that
the leopard can not change his spots. That, however, is what
MI. Compers told us Mr.. Foster had done. Wide publicity has
been given all over this country to extracts from books and
pamphlets written by the man now heading the steel strike to-
show that he was not only long ago an l. w. w. and was send
ing that sort of propaganda broadcast. Mr.. Gompers says he
has no belief in or sympathy with any such doctrines, but adds
that Mr.. Foster has seen the error of his ways and reformed
Accordingly he is disposed to defend Foster, though reluctantly
The generally accepted opinion is that Mr.. Gompers sees
that Foster is industriously endeavoring to be the head of
organized labor in this country, a position which the present
incumbent has held for many years. AS between Foster and
Gompers everybody favorable to safety and sanity prefer the
latter.

In Oklahoma the governor still boasts that they rotten egg
speakers out of the state. But Oklahoma has other things to
boast of. For instance, it was to Oklahoma that federal
marshals had to be sent TO arrest the men who opposed the
draft and they had literally to hunt them down. Oklahoma
is one of the few tates where such troubles arose. 1t is not AT
all strange that they should now deny free speech and that the
governor should endorse that denial. Oklahoma ought TO be-
come an American state.

Mr.. Fitzpatrick says that the people and the press are both
against him. He admitted that last week. But ha should have
said that most of the working men even in the steel plantsS
are also against him. It's Fitzpatrick and Foster that they. are

run this government.
