SAYS DISCIPLINE
MUST WIN WAR
"The most important thing in this
war, and the, only thing that is go-
ing to win the war,-whether we or
our enemy prove the victor,-will be
discipline," Col. R. D. K. Applin of
the British army told members of the
R. 0. T. C. yesterday afternoon in a
lecture on "Discipline and Its Rela-
tion to Training for Modern War."
"German discipline is one of brute
force," Colonel Applin said in con-
trasting the discipline of the Hun
with that of the Allies, and drawing
examples for both from' his experi-
ences. "The discipline of democracy,
on the other hrand, is one of exactness
in minute details; in other words, effi-
ciency. This is the opposite to the
German discipline, but a harder one
to get. The democratic discipline is
one of instant and -willing obedience
to every order, and in the absence of
an order, to anything you believe an
order to be."
The British officer told the cadets
of the death of 12,000 Allied troops
of a single force of 16,000 at Mont
Kemmel, now in the hands of the
Germans, because .of the failure of a
private to respond to an order with
exactness. Colonel Applin then told
of an incident of instant and willing
obedience in which a 17 year old bu-
gler in the Royal British Guards sav-
ed an important position by taking
charge after all the officers had been
killed or wounded, thus saving the
day for the Allies.

"Now is the chance for everybody
to help in the greatest cause that the
world has ever fought," said Prof.
William L. Phelps of Yale university,
speaking *on the boys' working re-
serve, in Hill auditorium, last even-'
ing. "Though we are far away from
the war," he pointed out, "we are
coming to feel its importance. There
is one thing for us to do, and that is
to give the German rulers, the Ger-
man army, and the German people a
final and decisive beating."
Youth of Country Patriotic
Professor Phelps shows that there
are a few comforting facts that come
to us from the shadow of the great
war. The struggle has proved that
the youth of today has never lost its
astaunchness, sense of responsibility,
and patriotism. To meet the demands
of the situation, and to help America
plunge into the war, the men and
women of the younger generation
have had to give up more than they
have ever given up before.
Unless the crops are duly attend-
ed and harvested this summer, Pro-
fessor Phelps says, there will be a
food famine next winter that will far
surpass the coal famine of the past
season.

Vanderlaan, who is a Hollander,

worked in a bakery. When arrested

Professor Phelps expressed himself *
