tary training as physical educa-
ton"
Those engaged in the work OF
education practically are unanimous
in asserting that the claims made
for military education upon the
grounds of physical education have
no justification" the association
was quoted as reporting.
There is too much routine and
automatic action in military drill
and too much repression of indi-
yidual freedom" was the quotation
from President Eliot, which added:
1T is one of the poorest forms of
bodily exercise"
To Colonel Koehler, who gave
100000 men physical training dur
ing the World war, was attributed
this conclusion: THE use of the
musket as means of physical de-
velopment for any one, be he man
or boy, is more than worthless. 1t
is, in my opinion, positively in

Army Not Unaware

However, the army is not un-
aware of the Red inspiration of such
propaganda, even if the student
editors are oblivious to the source,
he declared.
THE Communists are working. in
America with a definite program
There are three detectives: First, to
undermine and nullify national de-
fense; second, to impair courts, SO
that they will not be able to function
and enforce DEGREES, and third
abolition Of all religious and moral
standards, including marriage.
Il feel that the young student
editors are not committed to this
lack of ideals, but are being used
unwittingly.
There is nothing to the charge
of military training manufacturing
robots at I. u, any more than the
contention that three, hours of
mathematics weekly will blind stu
dents to every other subject.
Statesmen Make Wars
Military men do not make wars.
The statesmen make them and we
fight them. No soldier wants war,
but the past history of the world
has proven that it is good to have
trained forces when conflict is GER

Following an order of university
officials, Scott Chambers, Newcastle,
editor of the Daily Student, now is
signing the editorial attacks against
compulsory military training.

quotes chapter and verse. But the
chapter and verse must now be consid-
cred as apocryphal.
Among those persons conversant with
French colonial policy are the MEM

may be the theoretical Italian claim
to the territory as far south as Lake
Chad the clam which in practice is
being pressed is distinctly more modest.
True italy asks from France what in

let it be said, once for all. that the
Fascist government is prepared to rest
content with a boundary which at its
nearest point would be several hun

Severance Not Involved.
Thus the question of the severance
of French colonial communications does
not arise. The territory which Rome
will be willing to accept contains no
important population centers and no
additional caravan routes of import
ance. and through its acquisition Italy
hardly woul obtain other strategical
advantages. With such q territory,

however. she would secure a certain
satisfaction of her general territorial
claims against France and soon be
able to look toward some future time
when the new area might conceivably
bear fruit.
Historically, the italian territorial
claims derive in general from the two
sources; first from Turkish claims to
the Libyan hinterland which Italy as
sumes were taken over after the Italo-
Turkish War in 1911. and second. from
the pact of London of 1915. The claims
of the first type are admittedly Of a
somewhat doubtful validity because of
the accord of 1902, whereto the Italian
foreign minister was party.
Thus the principal basis for the pres
ent claims is the pact of London under
which France and Britain agreed to
give Italy equitable compensation" in
case they increased their African hold
ings at the expense of Germany. Brit
ain has fully satisfied Italy on this
point, and France gave partial satisfac-
ton in 1919 through the ceSsion of
certain areas on the western frontier of
Libya France agreed at that time
that further compensation be consid
cred later, and it is this which Italy
now asks in Southern Libya.

NEW LIGHT THROWN
| ON |TALy'S CLAIMS
Minimum Territorial Demands
on France in Africa
Are Set Forth.
~ Radio to The Star.

~ Radio 70 The Star
LONDON. September 15.-The most
recent information available concerning
the minimum territorial demands of
the Italian government in Southern
Iibya has revealed this troublesome
phase of the current Franco-Italian
controversy in an entirely new light.
Paradoxically enough this particular
dispute. which involves alarm for the
actual transference of territory from
the French to Italian sovereignty, now
appears more amendable to settlement
than do a number of other points at
issue between the two Mediterranean
powers.
Nearly all recently published articles
on the Libya boundry question have
assured a firm demand on the part of
Rome for a wide strip of French-occu-
pied territory extending from the pres
ent frontier of the province of Fezzan
In the north nearly 600 miles south to
Lake Chad. Such considerable trans
fer of territory would extend the Italian
North African possession southwark
from the Mediterranean coast line to
double its present length, and would, in
fact, completely sever communication
between French West Africa and
French equatorial Africa.
French Colonial Policy Is Bar.
Any one at all conversant with
French colonial policy could remark how
little was the chance of France per-
hitting such a thing to come to pass,
however well founded might be the
claims of another power. In conse-
uuence the impression has become
widespread that here in Southern Libya
French and Italian claims were hardly
even under the most favorable circum-
stances to be reconciled.
An article published as recently as
last month in the French periodical
"l'Illustration" refers to the actual
italian territorial demand as for the
territory extending as far south as Lake
