TT NEEDS only a superficial
review in your memory of
those of your friends who are
"dyspeptics" to realize that they
are of nervous, high-strung
temperament, or else Of
moody, sour disposition.
1t is natural to assume that
they are that way because they
have dyspepsia. but it would be
much more accurate, from a
scientific standpoint. TO say that
they have dyspepsia on account
OF their nerves.
Even dyspepsia due TO organic
disease of the stomach, such as
ulcer, may fall into this class.
We certainly do not know all
the causes of ulcer, but it is not
able that the victims tend TO
have a nervous disposition, and
stomach ulcer gets active
under tension and stress.
WE MIGHT expect that war
w would have an effect on
such cases, and there are plenty
of records to show that such is
indeed the case.
England, having been in the
war longer than we have. has
the most complete set of case
histories.
Many men were invaded
home from the British Expedi-
tionary Force.
In one convoy Of 23s men, %
per cent were suffering from
acute stomach ulcer, or from

In a more comprehensive, later
report il was recorded that in Is
per cent of all men invaded
home. the cause was some form
of dyspepsia. real or nervous IN
type.
So burdenSome did the situa-
tion become that il was debated
whether a history Of dyspepsia,
existing over any length of time,
would not be a cause for rejec-
ton for active duty.

The Brighter Side
BY Damon RunyOn

THUS in the years to come we
will have a reservoir of pre-
pared youth and billions of dol
lars and costly time will be
saved in mastering an army.
We will have such potential
armed strength that our enemies
will hesitate a long time before
jumping us.
They will know that they
again cannot rely on our noto-
rious sloth and difficulty in put
ting armies in the field.
think the military training
Of our youth should be started
at an early age in public school,
TO be followed by not less than
a year of actual service in the
regular army or navy for every
boy at II and with five years in
the reserve thereafter with con-
tinued training at intervals.
Similar active service should
be required of the girls in the
same duties the members of the
fair sex now perform in connec-
ton with the armed forces.
IT HAS been demonstrated the
L girls in this war are highly
efficient in every capacity in
which they have been employed.
In fact, the service has failed
to take full advantage of their
capabilities in some respects.
Young men are. still used for
tasks that could be discharged
by girls and probably better.
At least 100000 men could be
diverted to combat outfits by
putting girls on their present
jobs.
But what I am interested in
mostly is the postwar prop
uganda from the service women
for general military training.
1t is idle TO think that this
war is the last of our wars.

7 HAVE only c

7 HAVE only one complaint
about the various women's
corps of our military and naval
establishments, and that is they
are too small in point of num-
bers.
1 think we should have sew
eral millions of girls in the two
branches of the service.
Their educational value TO
the United States is incalculable.
The young women of today
are the mothers of the genera
ton to come that will, if neces-
sary, fight our next war, and
from mothers who have worn
the uniform of their country
should come the greatest eagles
brood in all our history.
I THINK it imperative that
Il after this war we have some
form of obligatory military
training for all our youth Of both
sexes.
In fact. after the confusion Of
raising our present army, and
the travail undergone by our
kids in getting ready for il, l do
not see how any one can fail TO
see the wisdom of this training.
But probably there always
will be some opposition to such
a system and l am relying upon
the influence of the mothers Of
the future who will have seen
service TO break il down.
The army and navy most
surely will leave upon the girls
now serving an impression Of
the necessity for the training
for physical culture and disci-
pine.
They never will oppose, as
many of their mothers have, the
instruction of their own chill
dren along these lines.

It Is thinking Of that kind
that got us in our present jam.
The matter of preparedness
was not something to shout for
a couple of years ago but some
thing to be kept in practice for
the next hundred years and
military training must be one OF
the strongest features of pre-
paredness.
A THOUGH we will defeat
"A and disarm the japanese in
this war, we will find ourselves
at the finish in sentinel role
that we never must abandon.
The Japs will remain a
menace to us and to Australia
and all Asia.
They will be very humble for
a long time and apparently
harmless and inevitably will
come the sympathy and the as
sistance that we always extend
a conquered foe, but as soon as
they get the wrinkles out Of
their stomachs they will be on
the march again.
In the interval of peace and
recovery, they secretly will be
developing and expanding the
means of war in remote corners
of their kingdom while out
wardly kow-towing TO our might
and among us will be altruists
saying we do not understand
those nice little people and
ought not act suspicious of
them.
And one day the Japs will see
our vigilance relaxed and once
more will strike at us with the
same treachery and venom they
already have displayed.
AS long as Japan is Japan, the
Japanese never will forget the
humiliation that will be theirs
from this war.
