When we were first beginning to call on the young
manhood of America to take_up arms in the cSbntfy’s
defense, the so-called psychological test was devised to
determine each man’s mental capacities—his speed of
mind, his alertness, his capacity for forming quick
judgments, his general knowledge, his reflex to ques-
tion* put qniobly and allowing little more than instan-
taneous thought for In answer. ~r ~ ~—-
— One of the largest employers of labor in the United
. States, whose name I withhold at his request, made the
same tests on the group of his men who he re-employed
after their jservice in the army. Out of more than 600 returned sol-
diers, 64 per cent were more efficient and alert mentally than before they
had joined the army, 32‘per cent remained as they were and 4 per cent
were rated as having gone back.
In a word, two soldiers out of each three who received army training
improved mentally. Their judgments were more* alert, their minds more
orderly and precise, their thought more speedy and their actions more
determined. '
Does this not go to show that the millions of young Americans who
served in the army and navy are going to, be better business men and
workers as a result of the training they received? The great mass of
them went into the army at an age when they were most susceptible to.

Why? because they were taught the great lesson of doing every-

GIVE UP WILLIAM
Says Country Will Not With-

of Laws and Traditions.
~ Paris —The demand of the entente
powers that Holland . deliver up to
them former Emperor William of Ger-
many that he.^piay be tried "for a
supreme offense against International
morality and the sanctity of treaties”
has been refused by rioUtaJT—- ■
In a note delivered Friday to the
foreign office by the Dutch minister.
Holland takes the ground that the
Dutch government Is not a party to the
pence treaty which condemned Wil-
liam Hohen-ollem and that it can not
recognize aa an International duty the
necessity to associate Itself with “this
net of high International policy of tha
powers."
It declares also that the constituent
trwa of the kingdom, and the tradi-
tion of the country always a ground
for refuge for the vanquished in inter-
national conflicts, will not permit the
government to defer to the wishes of
the entente by withdrawing from the
former emperor the benefit of its laws
and traditions.
The declaration Is made that
people of the Netherlands can not be-
tray the faith of tbpse who have con-
fided themselves- to Holland’s free in-
stitutions.

People of the British West Indies, even those of English birth, favor
for economic reasonsJhe transfer of a portion of the islands to the United
States as liquidation of a part of Great Britain’s war debt—the sugges-
tion made to parliament recently by Lord Rothermere.
It is a foregone conclusion in the minds of every man who is familiar
with the West Indian situation that they will some day become possessions
of the United States. It docs not matter what England wants nor what
the natives want nor what America wants. Their position and their con-
dition make its ultimate end American. ,It may not come in my time, but
it will come. It is inevitable.

Franklin K. Tiane, Secretary; of the Interior—America was torn from
the forces of nature. Our forefathers, the first emigrants to these shores,
were compelled to fight for their homes against dangers that today can
scarcely be imagined and against odds that were heartbreaking. It i« well
that this was so. For out of the throes of their travail America has
become more than a land. America is a spirit America ia an aspiration.
America ia an attitude toward, men and material things—an outlook and a
faith.' America is something mystical that lives in the heavens; It ia the
constant and continuous searching of the human heart for the thing that
ia tetter. » —_
