an attempt to restore/rate .mouarchy
in Germany with Bavaria replacing
Prussia as the domiaut state._
General Ludendorif, it seems. is
to be the military ditcator or the
Reich. and the republic is to be
swept away. Whether he and his fel-
low conspirators are men at the
mettle to effect'the change remains
to be seen.
Reports reaching London early
this morning said that Berlin was
swarming with troops last midnight
and that the Reich cabinet was in
continuous session. It is assumed
here that President Ebert and Chan—
cellor Stresemann will do their ul-
most to avert fighting. but General
von Seeckt. who has been appointed
commander in chief of the national
army, and invested with‘ full mili-
tary authority. apparently has been
given a. free hand in disposing of
the Beichwehr forces.
BERLIN. Nov. 9.——The ilith birth-

.
Out of the fifteen young men who
appeared before the U. 3. Navy rc-
cruit‘lng oflicer at the City hall. last
week. only one passed the required
physical examination. This is the
lowest percentage of any city in the
state. according to the recrui g of-
ficer. ‘
Such a revelation is a forcibl‘ ar-
gument for the need or a boys' club
in Norwalk. where young men will
be taught by a trained instructor
how to take care of their bodies.
How does Norwalk feel about
having it broadcasted that only one
out of fifteen of her young men are
ysically fit? That these appli-
ts. were in many instances. boys
still in their teens. should make
every resident of Norwalk stop and
ponder. # ‘
The war brought to light the fact
that a large percentage of the young
men of this country were sufiering
from physical defects. which train-
ing and exercise would have Over-
come. Progressive cities. appalled
by these revelations and) tearing for
the future. established a. Y. .M. C.
A. or boys' club..
The Navy officer has been so ap-
palled, by the small percentage of
physically fit young men in Not-
walk that he has oflered to instruct
any young man who comes to the
City hall, m the simple rudiments of
the system of physical training in
vogue in the U. 3. Navy.
Apropos of the need of physical
training the following bulletin has‘
been issued by the U. 8. Health De-
partment:
“Do you believe in health—one
hv dred per cent. of it. It is within

ti; power behind your activity and

ing health proclaims it to the world
by the shining eyes. firm. elastic
step. ruddy complexion and cheerful
disposition. These are some of the 4
guide posts on the road to health:
"Vigorous exercise calling into
play all the muscles of the body. ‘
"Some occupation with an ab.
curbing interest.
"A wise selection of foods to: the
day's activities. '
