Returning from Europe, cursed with
war, I was more convinced than of
anything else in life that what la be
ing alowly settled in that grim trench
land over there DOES mean some
thing to us?more, oh, so much mora,
than money or legal rights or aym
pathy for bleeding hmnanlty. Not
that I am especially apprehensive of a
raid on these United States, the crum
bling of our sky sera para, with the ex
action of colosaal indemnitee. That,
too, of courae, might happen 1< Ger
man artfs were triumphant. If the
pax Qermanica were Imposed upon a
beaten world. ,
But that Is not to me the worst To
me the German peril doea not Ue so
much In her big guns, her submarinea,
her "Prussianised war machine." It
lie* in herself, In her Image of the
world. If Germany could win even a
partial victory under her monstrous
creed of applied imperialism. Illuminat
ed us It has been by every sort of cyn
ical crime, with Its reasoned dellsnce
of contract. Its prluclple of 'Indispensa
ble severities," Its military logic, etc.,
THAT must become the moral law ?f
all the world?the Jungle law I In or
der to anrvlve we, must all accept thla
law of the Jungle. And of all the
prostrate peoples of the wortd forced
to accept the victor's new version of
the ancient commandments proud
Ame*ca would be the first. We can
not restst the fascination of success.
So the German Ideal, the German
tyranny over the Individual, the Ger
man morality?one rule for you and
me as Indlvldod. isd another stterly
Irresponsible rale wtjen we get togeth

NATIONAL MOVE
FOR PHYSICAL
REGENERATION
i
Started by National Seourlty
League Through Committee
Headed by Walter Camp.
Impressed by the fact that 29 par
cant of the young man called to the
colors In tbs draft are being rejected
for physical disability, the Nhttonal Se
curity League has started a nation
wide movement to promote the phys
ical welfare of the youth of the land
through the organisation by communi
ties of branches of a Committee on
Physical Reserve, of which Walter
Oamp, veteran trainer of athletes. Is
chairman. In answer to a letter sent
by the league to the mayors of all the
cities la the country of over 5,000 pop
alatlon asking them to appoint com
mittees to co-operate with Mr. Oamp,
300 /committees In tt> ststss have al
ready been appointed to carry out tke
Idea. Assoctatsd with Mr. Camp on
the Committee oc Physical Beserve
are William O. Anderson, member of
the Advisory Committee of Tile Uni
versity Gymnasium, and Joseph E.
Raycroft, member of the War and
Navy Departmenta Commission" oa
Training Camp Activities.
"Economic Disaster."
In discussing this new effort of the
Security League, 8. Stanwood Menken,
president of the league, said:
"The National Security League has
token up this work because the conn
try csnnot afford without serious eco
nomic disaster to lose the benefit of
the service of nearly obe-third of the
men who srs drafted for military duty
because of physical unfltneas and
wbose places must be taken by those
who have dependents. The draft fig
ures show thst 29 per cent, of the
men are physically unflt. The work Is
necesssry, ss, with the strain upon
American brain, It Is essentlsl that
public stteatlon be focussed upon the
need of psylng also due regsrd to
physlcsl safety. The efficiency of the
humsn engine - sod tbe sblllty of the
man-power of th? notion to wtthstsnd
attrition, and tbe.jqttra work that the
men who are doing things have to
bear at present, makes It Importsat
thst these men should recognize Ibe
part thst physical exercise plays In
their ability to bear their fnll load of
Life Worth ?11,000.
"furthermore, wiy> the difficulty la
?applying a full quota of labor for la
duatriea, It Is necessary that the man
power of the nation should be In
creased by the maximum measure of
physical strength. Every individual
has a direct Interest lb seeing that this
result is brought about A* ah eco
nomic matter, tach life Is estimated to
be worth to the nation fll.OOO and we
cannot a Cord to waste any part of
this most isloable national asset. As
a human matter we cannot as a Chris
tian people, supposedly representing
the highest Intelligence and civilisa
tion, allow our people to neglect the
simple things which would savs them
if fully understood.
? "Tlis work which Mr. Oamp has un
dertaksn Is a movement of such nation
wide importance and so manifestly
needed that Its mere presentment will
commend it to every thoughtful Ameri
can.'*
"Thoroughly Agree."
Some of the Indorsements of the Se
curity League'Idea in organising this
nation-wide campaign for physical re
generates read:
Mayor Oonnell of Scran ton, Fa, 1
thoroughly agree with yon as to taking
care of our young men physically end
morally, and I an pleased to cooper
ate with yon."
Mayor Basmusasn at PaliVort Har
bor, O., "Anything that will promote
the welfare and manhood of our young
men throughout these United States
has my full sympathy."
Mayor Hlncks at Plnckneyvllle, I1L,
"I am very much In favor of this move
ment"
Mayor Hickman at Altos, OUa.. "1
aasure you that I look upon the num
ber of young men rejected In the draft
for physical disability with grave con
cern, and It -4s gratifying to me to
know that steps are being taken to
remedy this condition of affairs."
Mayor Bardlne of Juniata, Pa., "We
are ready to work hand In hand with
any object that is for the upbuilding
of our town and will make It a bettor
place in which to Hva."
Mayor Barron, Dan Claire, Wis., "I
