tory morsel for Col. Beck's government.
This vast program of colonial recon-
struction sprang into the minds Of the
two dictators only recently, when they
began to realize that the leaders of
France and Great Britain are once more
panicky because OF rearmament dificul-
ties and the obvious desire Of the United
States Congress to adopt q strict neu-
trality program.
In Washington the highest officials
believe these demands will be made in
the next few months. Mussolini, accord
ing to reports from Rome and Berlin, has
maneuvered himself into a position from
which he cannot withdraw. The people
have become restless. Economic hard
ships are increasing every month. His
people had to pay dearly for the con-
quest OF Ethiopia and for Frances VIC
tory and there are no tangible results to
satisfy them for their sacrifices. The
masses in Italy are being told every day
by the press and by Mussolini's hench-
men that II Duce need only frown and
rattle his saber noisily and the termite-
eaten British and French empires will
yield. They want to be shown. It is for
this reason that the recent mobilization
orders of individual classes have been
answered with such alacrity. The re-
is to join their units, move to the bor-
ders and that their mere presence will
frighten France into submission.
Duce to Be Cheer Leader.
The Italian dictator, in the scheme as
reported, will be the cheer leader. It is
he who will fire the opening guns for an
all-around colonial readjustment and it
is Hitler who will this time assume the
role of world peacemaker.
The manner in which Mussolini will
open up the attack is matter Of specu-
lation. Most military authorities believe
he will begin by taking the practically
undefended port of Djibouti on the Red
Sea by force. The world will be in a
panic for fear that an international con-
fagration will become inevitable Mus
solini hopes to create situation COM
parable to that of September 30, when
Hitler threatened to march into Czecho-
Slovakia.
The hysteria thus created is bound, so
the dictators think, to bring about a
wholesome reaction. Great Britain and
France will be ready to listen to Hitler,
who will offer the only possible solution
to avoid world conf1agration: The
summoning of a conference to discuss the
colonial problems-a colonial Munich"
The Italian armies will be mobilized; the
Germans will allow the world to know
what preparations they are making at
the 1talo-German border And in this
atmosphere of fear and danger they hope
to coerce the "haves" to cede to the
"have-nots' some of the possessions they
have owned since they started building
up their colonial empires.

Professions Luring
College Boy of 1889

EVANSTON, Ill. (P).-The college boy
Of 1889 is pointing his career toward
security and dignity, with the dollar
sign fading from his ambitions.
DR.. Shirley Hamrin, associate profess
sor of education of Northwestern Uni
versity. reached this conclusion today
after examining the results of survey
OF the relations between collegians' plans
for careers and the occupations of their
fathers. The answers to questionnaires
sent to 1.120 male students formed the
basis Of the investigation.
Index to StuIent Opinion.
From the results. which he said he be-
leved gave a fairly good index to stu
dent opinion all over the country" DR..
Hamrin concluded that:
The college boy Of today is going in
for the professions in part because of
his psychological desire" for security.
Generally speaking, he does net intend
to follow in his fathers footsteps, so far
as the same type of occupation is con-
cerned.
He is shying away from commercial
pursuits as he is also from the skilled
trades.
"Todays college man." DR.. Hamrin
said, ITS choosing his career with more
consideration of security and dignity
than of great monetary gain.
Perhaps the most marked trend dis
closed Is toward the professions Three
fourths of the boys intend to be doctors,
lawyers, engineers and SO on, yet only
one-fourth Of the fathers are profess
sional men. This tendency, which I be-
neve holds good the country over, is due
in part to the psychological desire for
security. The professions tend to be
more stable economically than CONNER
cial pursuits"
Overcrowding Is Feared.
DR.. Hamrin added the belief that
overcrowding Of the professions would
result in economic pressure later in the
students lives which would force many
Of them out of the careers of their
choice.
VI Vic 1,AZV UoyS SIuoAeo, III. AdHH III
found that only 121 plan the same type
Of occupations their fathers chose.
Only Is Of the boys were found to be
interested in selling, although 81 of their
fathers make their living in this way.
With the exception Of engineering, all
professions showed gains of better than
100 per cent in the new generation. In
creases Of 1886 per cent were shown in
accounting, 283 per cent in law, 245 per
cent in advertising, 1873 per cent in
medicine. ITO per cent in journalism and
1A per cent In dentistry.

Army of 100000 to Defend
The Philippines After 1916
Gen. Macarthur Is Training Picked Men to Protect
Islands When They Attain Statehood;
Mosquito Fleet Planned
BY Ernest o. Hauser.

MANILA, P. l., March lin the light
Of recent developments in the Far East,
the question Of Philippine defense as
sumes new proportions.
Situated directly in the path of Japa-
nese expansion to the south, the rich
and sparsely settled archipelago presents
a tempting prize. The withdrawal of the
American flag, scheduled for 1916, is
likely to leave the Philippine govern
ment beset with acute strategic and mill
tary problems.
To meet this situation, Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, military adviser to the
Philippine government, is training a
picked Philippine Army which will be
ultimately responsible for the security of
the young nation. Already, after three
years of intensive training, force OF
100000 men would be able to cooperate
with American Army. and Navy units in
case of an attack.
In accordance with the political prin.
ciples inherent in the commonwealth of
the Philippines, Its army is being de-
veloped solely for the purpose of defense
AS the limited budget does not provide
sufficient funds for the upkeep of large
professional army, the main emphasis o.
the military program lies in a we'll
trained reserve force which could rally
to the colors in case Of an emergency.
Recruits Selected by Lot.
Approximately 10000 2o-year-old Fill
pinos are selected by lot for military
service every year. During f1ve-and-a-
half month training period these raw
recruits receive well-rounded military
training According to the topography
and situation OF individual provinces.
special courses, such as coast defense and
field artillery instruction, are added to
the routine at various camps. Some OF
these special courses are supervised by
Americans, while the general training
is taken care of by Filipino officers.
The "trainees" are recalled for "re-
fresher courses" periodically, and thus
remain fit for active service This trained
citizens army, which now numbers 1OO-
men, will have grown to 80 divisions, or
approximately 100000 men, by 1916
Such force, it is asserted at headquar-
tiers here, would render any attempted
attack so costly both in money and men
that potential enemy would think twice
before trying to attack the islands.

PAPER MAKING IN THE SOUTH

Paper production in the South will be
quadrupled within decade, says D. H.
Killefer, a New York chemical engineer,
reporting in Industrial and Engineering
Chemistry, published by the American
Chemical Society. fa.
According to this authority, pulp and
paper will be removed from leading
position among the imports of this nation.
The development of the paper industry of
the South is associated with the research
of the late Dr. Charles Herty's process of
using Southern pines to produce pulp and
purified cellulose at cost low enough to
interest paper and. rayoh makers.
According to Mr. Killefer, it will re-
quire an investment Of $500,000,000 to
take advantage of the South's pulp wood.
Herty's discovery that young resin-free
slash pine can be used as raw material is
the basis for the prospect that. before
many years, Southern woodlands will be
supplying the nation with an annual crop
of pulpwood more than adequate for all
demands.
