 ston and he knows more about the
 breed than the New Republic does
 He got his information first-hand and not by hearsay, as the above edi- torial from the New Republic would indicate. Permit a conscientious ob-
 jector" to tell his story and Ameri- can army officers are fiends in hu- iman guise, but in this country where there is little tolerance for sla / CTS. mo matter what excuse they give for lshirking their duty, public opinion up- holds the army.
 Major White incurred the ill will of the war department because he failed to find conditions at Camp Funston as bad as they were painted Army
 officers have never been given a fair hearing in regard to "conscientious !objectors." Secretary Baker has ever shown tender solicitude for men who not only refused to fight for their country, but would not perform Ironcombatant service. When the arlni- lstice was signed they were mustered out and given back pay If any of
 them refused to accept the money it jhas not been mentioned in the news papers. ...- Sincere conscientious objectors in the national army were few. They were not asked to do anything more than days work, to wear the uni form and conform to military regula- tions Most of the so-called conscien- tious objectors were nothing more
 than pro-Germans, bolsheviki and downright slackers. They were a menace to discipline and if they were shown little consideration, they had only themselves to blame. Had it not
 been for the patience and forbear-
 ance of army officers under repeated
 provocation, they would have fared
 much worse .
 The New Republic has evidently been Interviewing bolshevik who re- gards the American army uniform as TO better than a conyict's stripes.

1 Tt sounds quite strange" said Will liam M. Lindsay court stenographer "to read of the efforts being made by certain members of the legislature to defeat a resolution memoralizing Con- gress to give six months pay to all discharged soldiers. and also to per

 siblc our soldiers have made no sscri-
 fices? Are there not now thousands of returned and discharged soldiers from
 over the sea and from the camps who are without money, civilian clothes or a job? And if this were not true. why shouldn't the south be as willing as the north to memoralze Congress to do something for these men who have been summarily, as 1t were, dismissed? Is it possible that the north is moro patriotic and appreciative of her sol- diers than the south? It would seem so, inasmuch as the states of the north have been almost unanimous in asking Congress to grant this to the men who have barred, or who have been willing to bare, their breasts to the Hun bull let's"

 Americas Army at Its Peak November il

| A N official statement of the v's'
 GS department shows that the strength of the American army when
 the armistice was signed on Novem-
 Der II and when this country's eff forts had reached the peak, totaled 8, ,703,373 officers and men, including
 the marines cc duty with our expedi- tionary force in Europe.
 No great army was ever raised and trained in so short time. From the date of our entrance into the war, April 6, 1917, the work of prepara- ton went on at phenomenal speed. If the opponents to conscription had prevailed the result would have been
 lamentable. Fortunately for us and the cause of freedom President Will
 son brought Congress to loyal sup port of the administration policy. By sending troops to France soon after the United States declared war against Germany and by transporting
 thao, in vast numbers had not only a
 heartening effect upon the allies but lhastened the return of peace.
 In organizating on a stupendous Iscale many difficulties were encoun- tered and many mistakes were made, as matter of course. But the out come was strong vindication of the war and navy departments. Looking. back, anyone who had forecast at the start such a triumph of efficiency as the country has witnessed, would have been a bold prophet indeed.
 The President and his military ad-
 visers were at once determined and confident. But the most optimistic
 of them could but have been surprised at the marvellous progress and the splendid development of Americas plans.

ROSTAND

From the New Republic.
 Rostand's plays are artificial and con- ventional. The stale air of the theatre pervades them. They are full of theatri- cal counterfet and romantic fustian, They are written that at best is pretty and clever and in the main undist.n- guished and unmusical. Nevertheless, they had a reception extra ordinary in the history of the stage. Their success was not simple a popular one It was Il lit erary success complete and world wide To many folks it seemed as though through Rostrand poetic drama had aris~ en; that through him beautiful theatre was to flourish once again. In electing h!m to membership and immortality" the French academy was only giving off, cial sanction to the belief. held by culti- vated people not in France alone but the world over. that Edmond Rostrand wa 5 a poet of originality and importance, ant that "Cyrano De Bergerac" was a dra- matic masterwork.

GUN TO SHOOT INTO SPACE

From the Scientific American.
 In a detailed scientific discussion oi the German long-range gun which bom- barded Paris last spring, Maj J. Mait- land Addison, writing in the journal of the Royal Artillery, takes a peep into the future and considers the possibility of a gun capable of shooting projectiles entirely off the earth into space, a. la Jules Verne The requisite velocity o; such a gun Is not. he says, so very much higher than what has already been achiever; viz. a muzzle velocity of a mile per second. When we-are able to increase this to fire miles per second. the projectile. if fired at suitable angle.

# * < Boys Pig Clubs Multiply Rapidly

)E GOD production in Alabama has 9 been increased in a substantial degree by the boys on the farm.
 The organization of Boys Corn and Pig clubs proved popular several years ago when the movement was started The popularity increases and this year will witness material gain in the number of clubs wing with each other in striving to make high records, both in breeding and in increase of produc- ton. By adding calf clubs the inter est among the boys is being appre- ciably increased.
 Clubs will multiply rapidly from now on. Reports from the extension service being received at Auburn are most encouraging. The field agent in nearly every ycounty>is able to tell of new clubs organized.
 From Athens, County Agent Fred Stewart reports that four years ago the number of pure-bred hogs in Limestone county could be counted on one hand and that today they are seen everywhere. Seventy five per cent of them are the direct result of the boys club work. These pigs have already incyeased the wealth of the county by $100,000.
 Of the many upbuilding activities of the extension service few have been more helpful than the boys club. We cannot have too maay of these asso- citations.

You sleep. They wake you and make you march. You begin to be weak. You lag They throw you to the ground and beat you. They prick you with bayonets You strugge On. You do not struggle fast K enough. They step on your hands and sprain your ankle and still force you to march with each step a thrill of agony. You protest. You go on a hunger strike. They raise you from your cot and hurl you under the shower. You collapse under the show er You lie on your cot in coma. You are hurled outdoors into the cooler air and revived and hustled round the guard house on your feet and on your hands, a rolling bundle of physical nervous wrsckage.
