Military Training.

Military training for the young
men Of the Nation is worth all it
costs, even if we are never to have
another war. That is the dictum laid
down by Secretary of War Weeks,
and to which thinking people generally
will subscribe. Mr.. Weeks statement
was in the form Of a message to the
Association of Military Colleges and
Schools and he was speaking particu-
larly of the military training given
in such schools, but his opinion might
well have been broadened to cover the
training to be had in citizens train
ing camps by young men unable to
attend these special schools.
The benefits of reasonable amount
of military training are varied and
the most valuable of them have little
to do with preparation for war. The
discipline young man gets will make
him a better and more useful citizen,
10 his own advantage and to the
advantage Of his country. The phys
teal upbuilding will go with him as
the habits of orderliness and deport-
lnent he will form will make him a
much more agreeable person to get
along with.
II the theory that military training
of a Nations youth bred a war
like spirit were a sound one, opponents
of such training would be justified
in their opposition to it. But it is
not a sound theory when applied to
the youth of America. Ask any vet.
eran of the World War. They were
trained until there were no better SOL
dters on either front in Europe, but
1T did not give them any hankering
for another war. If this country
never goes to war until forced into
1t by the martial spirit Of veterans
OF the great conflict we will have a
long era of uninterrupted peace.

The Earth Yields It's Increase.

American farms produced last year
$12 1000, 100000; stupendous figures to
roll under the tongue. This, according
to a statement prepared by the De-
partment OF Agriculture, indicated an
increase Of s56, 200, 900 over the pre-
vious year. Some. percentage of the
increase may have been due to the
crops, but at that a section Of the
population benefited by the gain. The
outstanding fact remains that nature
was kindly, and that Mother Earth
was generous to her children.
Spring estimates OF crop conditions
are hopeful Of a repetition Of the bless
ings Of last year in bounteous crops
and profitable returns to the producers
thereof. On millions Of acres Of arabic
lands In the country the secret forces
Of nature are at work in reproduction,
and the heart Of man is high in hope
Of generous yield. Spring is sea
son for hope which is now encouraged
by fulfillment of the past.
Everywhere there is evidence Of
prosperity. Finances Of the Govern
nent are absolutely sound. as shown
by the returns to the Treasury De-
partment Of the payment Of the in
come tax for the first quarter of the
year. A contented population is at
work on the worlds tasks. Labor and
capital are at peace. Taxes are to
come down. On every hand the pros
pect pleases.

| to evacuate Saghalin Island, and the
Russian governments attorneys are
attacking the contract with Sinclair
not only because Sinclair failed to be-
gin operations in the concession with
in the first year, but also because Of
the failure Of the Sinclair company
to bring about this expected action on
the part Of the American Government.
In the meantime the Soviet govern.
ment concluded a treaty OF amity with
Japan and was recognized by the jap
anese government. Japan Is to have
the Russian oil instead of the Ameri-
cans. So if the Soviet government has
failed in one direction with its tempt.
ing bait it may be said to have won
in another.
If the Russian government is anti
capitalistic-and 1t is-at least 1t has
not abandoned old conceptions of the
influence Of capitalists in international
relations. What more naive admission
Of this fact could be found than the
admissions now coming out Of Moscow
in connection with the trial OF the
governments case against Sinclair.
But perhaps after the failure to win
recognition Of the Soviet government
through its concessions to a wealthy
American corporation, It's ideas regard
ing the Government Of the United
States may have altered
The administration in Washington
so far has not been shaken from it's
purpose to refuse recognition of a
government which declines to be
bound by its international agreements
and to recognize the obligations Of its

ments while still maintaining the out
ward signs of peace. The flop Of the
Russian government toward the Jap
anese-if it was a iop-has been re-
garded in some quarters as a posi-
bic menace, so far as the United
States is concerned. There is nothing
to indicate, however, that the Gov
ernment in Washington has been un-
duly disturbed by the recognition now
accorded the Russian government by
Japan.
The failure Of the American Gov.
ernment to rush to the aid Of the
Soviet government in connection with
the Island Of Saghalin and the Sim
clair oil concession may well be con-
sidered by other governments and by
other American business men in max
ing their contracts. 1t is a little diff
ficult to see why the American peo-
pie should be threatened perhaps with
war because any business interest, no
matter how large, seeks to reach out
into other lands.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E, TRACEWELL.

bred race Of hardy men and lovely
women.
Out of 1t all, IN things physical and
mental, comes but one universal phi
losophy. and that is to think right.
Surely the countless aeons have
brought us nothing better than what
Solomon told us. Think right, and
right, and feel right.
That is why I would be an Appre-
ciator.

II objection is made that this Is an
easy philosophy of life. well, what of
It?
Where, in the name of heaven, did
there arise any dictum that life must
be remorseless truth, intolerant well
doing, pitiless publicity, stark reality
boresome earnestness?
l do not believe any such thing. No
one ever has, in his heart. Mahomet.

Life has it's truth, but II should not
be remorseless. 1t possesses much
well doing, but such ought not to be
without remorse. Life knows much
publicity, but the pitiless brand is
easily overdone. Reality Is necessary,
but why do the fashionable novelists
always pick out the nasty? Earnest

sanctimonious.

have to struggle again as best We
can. AS boys we get sex information
out of the cutters, and as men we
have to be educated by life and love
out of the sewers into the clean
streets Of manhood and womanhood.
Yes, 1t is easy to criticize.
Undoubtedly that is why it is SO
common, because 1T is the easiest
way. 1t takes character to boost and
sustain. 1t takes CUTS, If you will
permit me. to withhold the jibe and

1t takes a. real preacher TO eschew

Several days ago we considered In
this column the tribe Of Sneerers.
Now let us turn to the Appreciators
and praise them, for they deserve
much appreciation.
Once upon a time I had ambitions
to be a Critic. What more pleasing
role than to- look upon the work of
others and say what one thinks! The
acme Of earthly felicity, 1t seemed,
would be to nicely survey the whole
and divide thing into parts.
1t Is very pretty, Mr.. Pope, but
1t is not Homer" With such airy
statements one could dismiss the Ia
bors of months and satisfy the hu-
man propensity to knock"
But with years and gray hairs come
discretion. II ever. Over a long, white
beard one secs things other than
when he was a lad.
No longer do l pine to be a Critic.
1 would be, first and last, an APP
preciator.
Thus one allies himself with the
creative. affirmative side of Cosmos
and has a sense of wellbeing which
is unknown to the Devil, that first
and most widely known of the criti-
cal fraternity.
Anybody can sit around and find
fault. Watch 'em at the ball park
and you will see thousands of well
meaning birds who know how to play
the game better than Walter John
son.
See them in places Of authority,
picking to pieces the work of others.
Such critics, often called on the rolls
supervisory officials" miss one Of
the meanings of life.
No aim is here to say aught against
necessary criticism. Such is indis-
pensable.
In so doing, however, il is essential
that the supervisor make his criti-
cism sincerely, with desire TO bene-
fit, rather than just change. Criticiz-
ing just to be changing something
is very common. 1t fools no one, not
even the critic.
Yet one can stir up an air of tre-
mendous activity, and wear a mask
OF huge Importance by simply taking
work and changing IL around a
bit. The net result is not ono whit
better than it was before, but no one
dares say anything.
From this sort of critic, o Lord, de-
liver US,
The Appreciator, on the other hand,
works in just the opposite manner.
II he changes something, he does 1t
because he appreciates the remain
der, and is trying to bring the whole
up to the same standard.
This is the secret of the Apprecia-
tor:
II lies in his state of mind After
all. is not that the secret of life?
The state of mind is what counts,
as we breeze adown the slide of the
years. 'As a man thinketh in his
heart so is he,' said Solomon. 1t
has taken the world a long time to
find this out.
Centuries have passed, coming and
going In their innocence and crime,
their beauty and their ugliness, their
knowledge and their ignorance, their
cleanliness and their dirt.

Conditions surrounding him are
now somewhat different from those
in the past. Upon former occasions
when he has been urged to engage in
political activities he was still in the
Army service. Now he is retired, and
while still subject to- be called upon in
emergency, has greater freedom OF
personal movement than he possessed
before. For the immediate future,
however, his time will be taken up in

tive figure in any political campaign,
and would be q commanding one in

that body. 1t may well be that after
the conclusion Of his service in the
important work before him he might
find 1t to his liking to engage in poll
tics. His success in life, which still
fingers with him as a habit, endears
him to the politicians always on the
lookout for a prospective winner.
The general, no doubt, will give the
question due consideration after he
has accomplished his present mission.
