and no proposes that all troops shall
have at least two months OF inten-
sive military training each year,
This proposition sounds both prac-
ticai and valuable. and there is no
reason why 1t should not bc seriously
entered upon. Soldiers could easily
be converted into skilled workers In
the program OF restoration.
A. tho pay OF soldiers in European
countries Is notoriously small. It
would be only fair TO establish special
rates OF compensation for those called
upon to engage In tho labor OF re-
building the numerous shattered SEQ
tions OF European territory. But this
cost could be easily borne by the

THE SOUL SURVIVES.

Camille Flammarian. tho distin-
guished French scientist and astrono-
mer. has Just issued n book In which
he presents what he considers posi-
tive evidence that the human soul
survives the dlsntegration OF the
body. During thirty years. of re-
search and study. he examined 4.so0
cases Of alleged communication with
the dead. After careful selection, he
retained several hundred OF these as
proof.
Whether the human soul Is immor-
tai. he says. Is another question alto
gether. lie makes no claim to that
effect. but he definitely asserts the
soul or spirit continues TO 1.-Two after
death. certainly, for number of
years, as he says he held communi-
cation In several cases.
Surely the undevout astronomer Is
mad" Il was said many years ago, and
therefore It Is not surprising that
this noted student Of the wonders and
mysteries OF the heavens should in
vestigate this subject with view to
establishing assurance that man has
soul and that it survives after
death. And while millions ask no
proof. intimate and revealing studies
of the subject are OF importance and
| value.
But while the belief of the survival
Of the soul IL universal. there always
will be skeptic,sm about tho power OF
human beings TO establish actual com
munlcation with spirits and the spirit
world. Notwithstanding the positive
contentious Of men like Flammarian
Sir Conan Doyis, the late Sir Oliver
Lodge and others. To the vast ma
jority comes the firm conviction tha
death erects an impenetrable barrier
between the world that II and th'
world that follows, and that only
death can open the portals for ad
mission. while they are ever close'
TO departures in any manner by hos'
who have gone there.
