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.

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.
