...stand correctly even when told to is a physician's discovery which is reported in the Harvard Illustrated Magazine. Some of the four-fifths may be able to accomplish more from their faulty position than some of the one-fifth from their correct one, but the exhibit has an un preparedness look which could be improved without danger of militarism. Springfield Republican...
...furnished by a pair of comic married lovers. The most notable quality of this sparkling effort is its remarkable loquacity. It is one of those characteristically Gallio dramas in which after a full half-hour of rapid dialogue the heroine remarks to the hero: "Alors, mon ami, causons un peu." They then sit down comfortably and continue it for another half-hour. Words cannot describe the perfect Niagaras of conversation, the torrents of talk.

...even admitting that the proposed system would mean compulsion of conscience--as I do not--it is submitted that such compulsion would be neither undemocratic nor un-Christian. All compulsion is not abhorrent to democracy and Christianity. Taxes are universally compulsory--and the payment of them may be against the conscience of some--but they are merely regarded as a necessary evil. Taxes are one thing which the individual owes the state. Military service is another, and the compulsion of a man to do his duty to the state is justified--even in a democracy...
