Know Your New Brothers
Millions of the oppressed peoples of Europe have just emerged from the dark
ness of autocracy into the sunlight of freedom, self-government, commercial
and industrial development, and progress toward a higher civilization.
The POLES, formerly a strong, heroic nation, but over
whelmed and crushed by invasion and oppression, and split
into fragments by their conquerors, are now to be reunited
and given a free road to their national destiny.
The LITHUANIANS, doubly oppressed by German
landowners and Russian bureaucrats, will now become mas
ters of their own lives and national affairs, either as one inde
pendent state, or in federation with other Baltic states.
Watch the unfolding history of these

inspiration of its torchbearers of liberty and freedom in the
middle ages, have now at last thrown off the heavy yoke of
Austrian tyranny and claimed their place in the family of free
nations.
The JUGO-SLAVS, ground down by Austria, and severed
from their Montenegrin and Serbian kinsfolk, have gathered
their strength and seized the prize of liberty and reunion won
for them in the world struggle for democracy.

300 RESERVE OFFICERS'
UNITS TO BE FORMED
Washington, Dec. 23. About 300
units of the reserve officers' training

diately at as many colleges and schools,
says an announcement by the war de

doned in favor of the students' army
training corps, demobilisation of which

New regulations are being prepared
to govern the reserve officers' training
corps so as to permit units to spe
cialize in training officer material for
the various corps of the arm", such
as artillery, engineer, signal corps, ord
nance, air service and medical corps,
instead of the uniform training for in
fantry which was the rule before the
war.
A total of 115 reserve officers' train
ing corps units had been organized be
fore the war. One hundred of the In
stitutions Included In the students'
army training corps group have re
established their reserve units, taking
over the equipment they had on hand.
In addition 200 other schools or colleges
have signified their intention to share
in the reserve officers' training.
A special division has been created
by the general staff to administer to
the reserve officer oorps, which will
consist of Junior units at high schools
as well as senior unite at college
Through the personnel division of the
staff also It will be possible to select
Instructors from army officers shown
by their records during the war emer
gency to have especial qualifications in
iiil uircci lull.
