CAMP TRAINING IS URGED FOR

MIDDLE-AGED Military Training Received by t Young Men Advised at Beneficial to Elders. (By Associated Prs)., CHICAGO, Dec. 31. Militarr trainlas has improved the health and morale of 2,000,000 young Americans and would do the same of America'! middle-aged business and professional , nen, says a formal statement by the Military Training Camps association Indorsing the new camp for civilian to be opened shortly at Louisville. Ky. The statement, signed by John J. Mitchell, Victor F. Lawson, E. P. Ripley and Cyrus McCormick, says that Camp Pershing, authorized by the war department as an auxiliary to Camp Zachary Taylor, offers an unprecedented opportunity to become "stronger and better men." "We must build up a new civilization In which individual qualities will play a larger part," says the statement. "The rating of a man must be based on what he is and does. We face a future that calls for stout hearts, clear heads and vigorous manhood. The war has saddled us with a very heavy burden and to meet it successfully demands an increase of our man power and the necessiry to maintain it at the maximum. Product of Camps. ! "Indeed, after orderly conditions are established, the most Important of America's assets will be man power. How shall this be built up? The way is open and clear military training of the youth of the land. Four year's experience has demonstrated the necessity for this and made our duty clear. "We have put through our training camps over 2,000,000 of our young men. They have learned personal hygiene, good care for their bodies and to ward off disease; their mentality has been speeded up; their shoulders squared, and their lung capacity, on the average, nearly doubled. They now stand erect, with muscles hard and they are fit for any undertaking requiring courage and endurance. They have learned obedience to authority a great lesson for our youth to learn. They have learned self-respect and a proper consideration for the rights of others, and have acquired a keener appreciation of the duties and obligations of citizenship. 1 "This training would be very beneficial to middle-aged business and professional men. as has been demonstrated at Plattsburg and Fort Sheridan. "It presents an opportunity for those at and approaching middle life that will make them better and stronger men. No other plan devised within our knowledge wiU do so much in a short time for health, strength and efficiency as military training. It will remake American manhood, and it is . as necessary for peace as for war." COMMITTEE MEETS TO .CONSIDER ACME FURNITURE PLANT S. E. Swavnr, Ray K.

An enthusiastic crowd Is expected. Every one is invited to come down and get acquainted and the secretaries are giving a spe cial invitation to all service men who are in the city. A three piece orchestra will play during the dinner hour and the Gar field orchestra will give a concert in the afternoon.

A number of very interesting and unique war prizes sent home by Richmond boys, who have been at the front, have already been loaned to the Y. M. C. A. for the occasion" and, it is said, the exhibit has a suggestion of up-to-date interest and excitement, which all visitors will be able to appreciate. The secretaries of the Y. M. C.

Red Cross Notes In order that needed knitted articles may reach American soldiers overseas during the cold weather a shipment must be made by the Red Cross next week. Women worked last evening packing supplies which have already been turned in, and an appeal has been sent out to all knitters to finish material on hand and get it in for this European shipment next week. Knitters who will not be able to finish their work by the end of this week should turn in their partly completed article and yarn immediately so that it may be finished by some one else. This request has been made im perative. It is said that In many cases our boys are suffering for want of warm winter woolens and that some people everywhere in the country have been letting down on their knitting since the signing of the armistice. This is poor spirit, Red Cross workers say, and those who have "stuck by their work." when there seemed less-honor for the knitter are deserving of praise. HERE ON FURLOUGH. Lieutenant Guy A. Carlander, brother of Lester Carlander of the Y. M. C. A and Sergeant Jay Mitchell, nephew of Rev. A. F. Mitchell, are spending New Year's furlough in the city.

U. S. INDUSTRY DIVORCED FROM

Ml GERMAN CAPITAL Danger From German Commercial Ambitions Not Yet Past, Warns Palmer. (By Associated Pr ' BOSTON. Dec. 31. -Germany's wartime plans for after-the-war commercial supremacy were described by A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property Custodian, at a luncheon today of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, with a warning that danger from German ambitions is not past and can not be ignored. Mr. Palmer told of what has been accomplished by the United States m breaking Germany's hold on America's commercial interests gained for the purpose of futhering this plan, and urged a "decree of absolute divorce between German capital and American industry." Before this country's entrance into the war, he said, most of the great German owned industrial ments were spy centers "filled witli agents ot Germany, long iioax against the safety of the United States." No German Interests. "They were a part of the great German plan for the military and corjr mercial domination of the world," a continued. "I hopeto be able to say when peace finally Is declared, that there is no longer any influential German interest in this country; that every particle of German ownership in our independent industries has been destroyed, and that American industries have been restored to their right- . ful owners. "The sale of German-ownd or controlled businesses in this country is one of the most important battles in the commercial war that Germany has planned. With all German interest in this country eliminated, the American business man still has a fight on ! his hands. I have it from German 1 sources that Germany's plan for commercial aggression, once the treaty of peace is ratified, has been prepared with such minute detail that no market in the world has been left untouched." Mr. Palmer said there can be no question to consider to sell and liquidate enemy-owned businesses in the United States. Germany and the United States are still at war, he said, and j as the . trading-with-the-enemy act is j still In full force, the selling of enemy- ! owned property is fully justified. ! Phone 2766
