WASHINGTON, I). C.—During the
brief period in which the subject of
universal military training has been
actively under discussion in official
circles, there has been a wonderful
change of sentiment throughout the
Cniti*l States in favor of the proposi
tion, says Senator Chamberlain of Ore
gon, author of the universal training
bill reported favorably at the recent
session of congress by the senate mili
tary affairs committee.
Senator Chamberlain is chairman of
the military committee, and as such
has received a vast number of letters
and telegrams relating to the subject.
To a representative of the press the
senator stated recently that these com
munications in themselves are, in his
estimation, fully sufficient to indicate
the trend of thought in the country.
“When the question was first
broached,” he said, “I received nothing
but criticism of the plan, but now the
mails bring chiefly letters of commen
dation.
“The people of the country are not
awake to the need of such a universal
military training system as proposed
in the bill on the senate calendar last
session. The people are not fully
alive to the necessity for such meas
ures of preparedness. Not until they
come face to face with a national crisis
<^do they rally. Then, of course, they
give their solid support.
“I am going to introduce in the con
gress which meets next month the uni
versal military training bill in the
identical form that it was reported by
the committee. 1 will make strong
efforts to put it through the commit
tee and to obtain its passage in the
senate. It would be useless for me to
predict whether the measure will be
enacted during the next session or not.
“If the universal system of military
training were in operation for two
years the people of the United States
would never want to recede from it.
It would be of Inestimable value to the
young men. It would aid them in the
matter of discipline, and its effects
would be seen in the physical makeup
of the nation.”
Asked for his views regarding the
universal military training system pro
posed recently by the general staff of
the army, Senator Chamberlain said
he thought it reflected too much of the
military spirit to be favored in con
gress. He thought his bill, providing
for six months’ training during the
calendar year in which a male citizen
reaches his nineteenth year would be
as radical a measure as could be put
through congress at this time.
The general staff plan, designed to
effect universal liability to training in
peace and service in war, proposes
that all able male citizens be called
out in their nineteenth year for 11
months of contiuous training, fol
lowed by two repetition courses of two
weeks each, one in their twentieth
year and one in their twenty-first
year.
Although the senate military affairs
committee of the new congress has
six new members, Senator Chamber
lain thinks this fact will not change
the prospects of securing a favorable
committee report on his bill. The new
committeemen are Senators Reed o
Missouri, Wadsworth of New York,
McKellar of Tennessee, Sutherland oi
West Virginia, New of Indiana, am
Krelinghuysen of New Jersey. The lat
ter four are new members of the sen
ate.

LORDS LIKE TO STAND
BY BLOOMING PRINCES
LONDON, April 11.—The House of
Lords has received very coldly the
“Enemy Princes Bill,” which the
Lloyd-George cabinet has pledged it
self to enact, depriving three German
princes of their British titles. Vis
count James Brvce, former British
ambassador to Washington, is one of
those opposing the bill.
The bill applies to only three Ger
man noblemen, who happen to be pos
sessors of English titles technically
giving them the right to seats in the
House of Lords. They are the Dukes
of Cumberland and Albany and Prince
Albert of Schleswig-Holstein.
The title to the Duke of Cumber
land was awarded over a century ago
to the fifth son of King George the
Third. He became king of Hanover
in 1837. That the Duke of Albany was
awarded by Queen Victoria in 1881, to
the father of the present holder, who
is also Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha
and a reigning prince of a German
state. Prince Albert of Schleswig
Holstein is a grandson of Queen Vic
toria. His title is merely a nominal
dignity ,and when the present holder’s
father was born Schleswig-Holstein
belonged to Denmark.
1 he Duke of Cumberland has been
an invalid for more than two years,
and has taken no part in the war.
Moreover, he is known as a hater of
the Prussian government and all its
iloings. His son was in the German
army at the beginning of the war, but
after a short time his health broke:
down and nothing has been heard of j
him for a long time. The Duke of Al
bany, however, has been in active ser
vice with the German army ever since |
the war commenced. Prince Albert of 1
Schleswig-Holstein is als> an. officer:
in the German army. H's brotherl
was killed, fighting for Britain, in the j
Boer war. His mother lives in Eng
land.
The bill as presented to the House
of Lords, does not affect succession to

RUSSIAN 11
PETROGRAD, Russia (Monday)—
The Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna
lias been placed under arrest. She
married the brother of Alexander III,
and is the mother of' the Grand Dukes
Cyril and Boris. The reason for her
arrest is to be found in the discovery
of a compromising letter addressed to
Grand Duke Boris, and according to
report it had to do with a plot for
placing the Grand Duke Nicholas on
the throne.
By order of the war minister, vari
ous persons at main headquarters
have been arrested, including the sec
retary to Grand Duke Boris. The ar
rest in the Caucasus of Major-General
Bhebykin, chief of the reserve of'
guards at Petrograd, led to the dis
cover)' of the letter, of which he \v;i
in possession.
The provisional government has de
clared all appanages, lands and other
property of members of the royal
family are to be the property of the
nation, pending a decision of the con
stituent assembly. Meantime, they are
to remain under their present owner.-,
who, it is directed, are to receive ail
public and private support, the pur
pose of this order being to prevent
destruction of property.
Regarding the Polish situation, tin
organ of the national democrats, the
Dziennik I’oliski, says: “in very truth
dreams have come to a fulfillment. In
the light of acts which proclaim the
real liberty and political independence
of our nation,” it declares, “the sem
blance of partial independence, which
concealed German military and econ
omic enslavement, loses whatever at
traction it had even for those weaker
individuals who were tempted by the
possibility of organizing some sort of
Polish political life under the guidance
of Prussian teachers of the old regime.
Real and unconditional independence,
recognized by free Russia anil her
allies, is now the watchword in the
program for all Poland.”
While Poland cannot receive the
same imemdiate grant of freedom
given to the inns since Poland is in
the occupation of the Germans, the
Russian government has in the mean
time appointed a committee, including
a representatitve of each Russian min
istry and each Polish organization in
Russia, to ascertain the whereabouts
of the property of Russian state insti
tutions in Poland with a view to then
transference to the Polish state. This
committee, presided over by Alexander
Lednioki, will also determine the rela
tions between the Roman Catholic
church and the state and other mat
ters.
estates or property and tan ; carceh
be held up as a serious punishment to
the three princes, none of whom ha
ever shown the -lightest inclination
to exercise his right to vote in th
Fnglish House of Lords. !n fact,
most of the speakers in the House of
Lords regard the matter as ot small
importance, although apparently de
manded by a considerable body of
liiitish public opinion.

T love to watch the silver moon
Climb to its highest place,
And sprinkle the heaven, all so soon,
With stars of another race.
1 love to think of olden times,
When 1 was but a child,
When school was all in merry rhymes;
And life was sweet and miid.
1 love to sit at close of day
And watch the clouds rolls by.
They’re ships of love bound far away.
To some sad heat trhey’ll tie.
1 love to wander along the beach
And hear the song of the waves;
How many a heart its anthems reach!
How many a soul it saves!
I love to climb the mountain side,
Where flowers all in bloom,
Kntwine, with beautiful wreaths of
white,
My own sweet mother’s tomb.
1 love to stand by the garden wall,
Where Mary used to stand,
When I was Mary’s all in all.
And the time I won her hand.
She, too, is gone to yonder shore,
Where grief and pain lack place,
But still 1 love her as before,
And long to see her face.
And hour by hour and day by day
I wait the coming time
When angels with the tiding say,
“God sends for you this line.”
