Urges Repeal of Mili
tary Training Law
An Albany dispatch to the Now
York Herald, undor dato of April 7,
sayo: Abolition of tho state military
training commiasion, abandonment
of technical military training and
substitution of physical training and
summor camps undor tho direction
of tho educational department, was
rocommenfied to tho legislature to
night in a special messago by Gov
ernor Smith in which he transmitted
tho roport of Dr. Felix Adlor, secre
tary of a subcommittee of the gov
ernor's reconstruction commission.
Tho governor put squarely up to
tho legislature tho question of the
continuation of tho military training
commission. Ho asked for action im
mediately "at ho might veto before
Thursday tho $100,000 appropriation
in tho annual fiscal bill providing for
military training for boys between
uixtoon and oighteon years of ago.
Tho govornor suggested tho legis
lature appropriate $150,000, tho
same amount ho proposes to veto, to
carry on for six or seven months the
system of training tho committee ro
commonds. Officials said tonight the
summor camp system proposed ..to
caro for tho 200,000 school boys,
would cost tho state $10,000,000 a
yoar.
INTERFERES WITH SCHOOL
WORK
The committee said that while the
prosont system of military training
aff'octod only one-third of the boys
in tho stato between sixteen and
oightoon years and added that it
"also has tho disadvantage of inter
fering needlessly with school work;
it creates- a false and temporary ohe
dlence, it Is too brief to accomplish
results, tho instruction is given by
ofilcors lnstoad of teachers, the sys
tem of exemptions is bad and tho
repetition of drills bores the boys."
"The committee believes that

physical development can bo better
attained in other ways, by thorough
physical training and by summer
camps," tho report added.
This section oftho report gavo tho
committee's belief of technical mili
tary training governing sliliuld be
with the consent of the governed, the
military ideas is tho opposite, gov
ernment without the consent of the
governed."
Tho committeo's suggestions con
tinued: "Wo have reached tho conclusion
that military training of a technical
character for boys sixteen, seventeen
and oighteon years of age is inad
visable, and wo recommend, that any
featuro3 of military training which
may continue to be used shall be
employed solely .for such values as
they may havo in physical, mental
and moral development.
NEED FOR PHYSICAL CULTURE
"In view of the alarming dis
closures of defective physique in con
nection with the recent draft, and in
order that tho state may possess
citizens of sound body, hotter, en
abled to fulfill their duties, whether
in poaco or in war, we recommend
that health instruction and all round
physical development, including
supervised games, receive the great
est possible attention in the schools
of tho stato, and that whatever ap
propriations be necessary for this
purpose may be generously fur
nished. "We recommend the establishment
of compulsory continuation schools
for boys an'd girls 'who aro at work
up to the eighteenth year, and that
in tho curriculum of such schools a
sufficient number of periods each
week be sot aside for physical cul
ture. ."We recommend that as soon as
the necessary funds can be supplied,
state camps bo established for boys
of tho high school age, as a means
of inculcating in them habits of self
control, deference to rlirlitfiil mi.
thority "and the democratic attitude
towards their fellows."

MR. BRYAN IN DETROIT
Detroit Free Press, April 7.
. "I predict that wimn TvaaAn-t-
Wilson brines back Hm ionV..a np
nations covenant in its final arrange
ment it will be ratified by the United
States senate by an overwhelming
majority.
Why do I predict that? Because
I know senators intimately. I know
they know they are elected by the
people and they are more than anxi
ous to keep an ear to the ground all
tne time. I know that snmn'nf ti,Q
mourn the fact they are not so-con-
Biuucea physically they can keep two
ears to the ground."
This confidence in the final fate of
tho proposed league of nations as
oxpressed by William Jennings Bryan
beforo approximately G000 persons
in Arcadia hall Sunday evening
marked the climax to that part of
his discourse, delivered to about
15,000 persons -at three meetings,'
that had to do with the league of
nations.
Ho came toDetro!t to talk pro
hibition as the chief .spokesman of
the Anti-saloon League of America
and all of that element in the United
States that represents and fosters
national prohibition.
His reception in Arcadia hall was
a large edition of similar welcomes
accorded him earlier in the day. Tho
first meeting was at 10:30 o'clock
a. m in Fort Street Presbyterian
church, whore he spoke to more than
hold PrSOnS' aU th bnBwoSS
ThGteecond address was delivorori
at 3 o'clock In the afternoon itthS
Tabernacle Methodist church, Jn
Woodward avenue, whero in the
main meeting and an overflow gath
ering Mr. Bryan spoke to more than
5,000 cordial listeners.
He correlated his two subjects
the league of nations and prohibi
tion by expressing his advocacy of
tho league idea and standing equally
as firmly for a "league of sober na
tions," which would be all the morel
successful for tho reason that, ho
contended, . whero liquor was re
moved there the desire of animus
and war would be lessened.
Deafening applause, whistling,
shouted greetings and a great flut
tering of handkerchiefs announced
the arrival of Mr. Bryan and Dr.

Anti-saloon League of America.

ARMY LIFE TERRIBLE, COL.
HAYWARD SAYS
From New York World; March 27.
Thoro is no danger of military
spirit springing ud in this countrv.
Col. William Hayward told the Fifth
Avenue Association at its business
luncheon in Delmonico's yesterday.
"I hate Prusslanism in America
more than I would in Germany,"
Col. Hayward said. "There is not
much glory in war. and I don't, thinir
many Americans aspire to bo sol
diers. War is terrible. Army life is
terrible. The whole thing is repug
nant to America, not onlv to th mon
who went forward but to tm mon
who helped commercially and in
other ways in the war.
"There were two thincra that im
pressed me Dartijularlv. One wan
the gallant French Army, the highest
from a scientific standpoint. The
other was -the American doughboy,
the man in the ranks. He saw what
could be done and did it. I don't
