GOVERNMENT
WILL EDUCATE
REGULAR ARMY
Service With Colors Will In
clude Schooling For All
Soldiers
Paris. May 26.—A great new edu
cational force in the shape of the
American regular army will come
into being in the United States in
the near future if the present plans
of government officials, army offi
cers and prominent civilian .educa
tors are realized.
Briefly, it is proposed to make
Uncle Sam's standing army a huge
university in which the young men
of the country will receive not only
physical and military training, but
will be given opportunities to ac
quire academic and vocational learn
ing which might be beyond their
reach in civil life. The old days
of virtual wastage of time which
represented almost blank pages in
the life diary of the soldier will be
a thing of the past. Instead of being
turned back into civil life in a more
helpless state than when he entered
the navy he will be equipped to wage
a vigorous fight for his place in the
sun of the business or professional
world.
Tlie possibilities of this plan have
been demonstrated in the wonderful
work done during the past few
months by the Educational Commis
sion in the American Expeditionary
Uorce in France. Sine - the signing
of the armistice something like 450.-
000 American soldiers have been rp
preciably benefitted by the army
schools, which have been put within
the reach of every man and which
have provided facilities to study
almost every conceivable subject,
from farming to philosophy.
Few of the army educators in
France realized at the outset how
great a work they were starting. The
avidity with which the enlisted man j
and his officer have seized upon the j
proffered opportunities has astound-'
ed them.
With this object lesson before it.
the army has been inspired to carry l ,
on this work at home in the stand
ing forces. The project assumes, it
is understood, that the standing
army of the future will be a com
paratively large one. and that there j
may be a short period of compulsory J
training for the youths of the coun
try, although the scheme is not de- ]
pendent upon the compulsory future. ■

With airplanes flying overhead and
the streets beneath their feet bedded
in flowers, the 312 th Field Artillery,
came back to the United States from
St. Nazaire yesterday on the trans
port Virginia, landing at Newport
News.
More than 40,000 persons from
Pennsylvania and Virginia virtually
went wild as the transport bearing
the suntanned and battlescarred
warriors came into the harbor.
They were in the fight in the Ar
gonne, and have been credited with
the capture of Montfaucon. which
the British told them was impreg
nable. But they took the stronghold
in three days, with terrific losses to
the enemy.
The Sjlth Machine Gun Battalion
of the 79th in command of Major
Stephen G. Henry, of Louisiana, fol
lowed the 312 th off the ship and on
to camp. They operated in the Ar
gonne and suffered many casualties.!
To-day when the cleaning up pro
cesses have been completed, the
Pennsylvanians will be released from
camp here ami allowed to visit the
city. They will take part Tuesday
night in a street carnival beiirg pre
pared at Newport News. It will be a
matter of four or five days before
the men can be sent home for de
mobilization, troop movement of
ficials said yesterday.
Official reports that the 312 th Ma

| the Council's reply to the German
■ note regarding responsibilities,
j Count Von Broekdorff-Rantzau
| insists that Germany's only rcspon

, gian neutrality, which it is ready
i to make reparation for, and declares
that all the powers were responsible

like pawns in a game.
M. Clemenceau points out that the
desire is that the inhabitants of
the territories in question shall be
taken into consideration, the only
exception being that part of Prus
sian Moresnet inhabited by only five
hundred persons, which is trans
ferred to Belgium as partial repara

In the Realm of Nature
Timely Articles Furnished by the Harrisburg Natural
History Society
An important total eclipse of the
: sun will occur May 29, visible in
■ South America, the Atlantic ocean
j and Africe. While not visible at all
I from our latitude, this eclipse, whose
greatest duration of 6 minutes 511 sec
onds is not far from the greatest
possiblo length of a solar eclipse,
is of especial importance because
it will permit a crucial test to be
made of the so-called Einstein
theory of relativity, now in the fore
front of scientific interest and dis
i cussion.
This theory asserts that though
[ we be moving through the ether of
I space it is utterly impossible to dc
| tect this by any experiment what
| ever; orily the relative motion of
material bodies can be so discov
ered. The theory has some striking
consequences' for instance, a body
contracts in the direction of its mo
tion in an amount which is de
pendent upon the velocity of the
body compared with that of light,
which travels 186,330 miles per sec
ond. A man walking eastward has
therefore less hulk than when he
walks westward. And a yardstick
Is longer when It lies north and
i south than when lying east and
| west. The difference in both cases
is minute ,but Is certainly present.
If the theory be true.
Another consequence of the
theory Is that a ray of light pass
ing close to a massive body like the

will be turned in at headquarters.
"Working under a severe handicap
of rainy weather and the fact that
this drive has been preceded by so
many others, the workers who have
given so unselfishly of their time and
energies have for the first time placed
the Salvation Army in Harrisburg on
a solid financial footing.
"Good-natured rivalry In soliciting
and general spontaneity in giving

other organizations all added their
contributions to the big nucleus of
over $5,000 raised from the sale of
doughnuts on the streets. Harris
burg was asked to give what it could

contributed will be spent in this
county under the guidance and with
the approval of a representative com
mittee of prominent citizens to be

Salvation Army ceases automatically

"The executive committee wishes to
express its thanks to every person
and every organization that has
helped to make the campaign a suc

soldiers and the personnel of the local
army recruiting agency is due much
of the credit for the driving power;
to the young ladies who lured the
unwary bills from the passing

made by Captain Stackpole and Miss

15 months in the Red Cross service
