I "wwwmiiiiui. ^ • By a United States Amy Officer t " *’"* # ....... " > by tbe W:„ dar g-sac.-ate, Inc.) the f.rst lesson of the sol dier. The first thing of all that the young • • i of the new army will be t!! - 1:- ;-wl must letirn thoroughly if lie is to s< rve his country efficiently “ :l ' : lii r. is obedience—obedience expressed in discipline. Discipline is the fundamental of the soldier. D - iphne is not punishment. Dls ' ! Tie i. not the goose step. Dis cipline, in the proper sense, is control ' ntrol for a definite purpose. Obedi • :i- . is merely the adapting of oneself to f.-ch control. And to make the sys tem effective from the private to the army erps. the discipline to the sol • r must begin with the discipline of himself. i ihedience, or discipline, is not in i' i-'ied to convert a man into an un thinking machine. A soldier who can think is twice the soldier who cannot. The most efficient National Guardsmen on the border a year ago were invari ably the most intelligent. What dis cipline docs attempt to do is to supply a man with the machinery of action after his thoughts have been blasted to pieces by shells. His motions must be Ingrained—automatic. This is attained through steady drill, the routine of camp, and "the school of a soldier.” No man is fit to cornand who has not learned to obey. Command, in the nature of things, will fall to those who obey most quickly, most intelli gently. I '1'i’ipliiie. to the young American soldier, will he manifest in his con da* • ; in the way he carries himself— the poise **f his head, the exactness of his shoulders. It will be evident in the neatness of his clothes; the care with which he buttons his uniform; In the way that he ties his shoes. It will I* e\blent in the degree that he keeps himself washed and brushed; in the scrupulous fashion in which he dresses his cot. his kit. his quarters. It will he olixious in the conscientious manner In which he attends to all the routine duties of the day; in his observance of the code of military etiquette. Discipline of this character runs throughout the whole day. except when a man is off duty, and then he can he as rare-free as he likes. But a man whose mind and muscles have had the training of a soldier no longer finds himself at ease in the old slouehy, flab by slump of the hoy of the street cor ner. His body, corrected, becomes the figure that nature intended, both walk ing or sitting. The fact that discipline runs through the day—and the night—is important. That is the method by which it be comes a habit. If discipline were con fined to marching or drilling, then it would impre<s itself only when march ing or drilling—at other times to be forgotten. This would not save the situation if the camp were attacked by surprise. The point is simply this: the soldier learns that everything he does is the way most carefully studied out to bring the most effective results from a large body of men. with the least confusion, the least loss of ener gy. or combinr-d power. When he has learned this, the young American will have learned his first lesson us a sol dier. THE SOLDIER'S RESPONSIBILITY. A soldier's muscles must not only be strong—they must he elastic. He must be prepared to run. to jump, to crawl, to wriggle, to shoot or to handle the bayonet from the most unexpected po sitions. That is why he is put through the settling-t.p exercises. By bending, thrusting with his arms and legs, rais ing himself from the floor, his body is made athletic ami supple for every demand which may be imposed upon it. Military discipline begins with the muscles, must be imparted to the nerves, and become imbedded in the brain. A rounded shoulder is a slack rope. The soldier whose body sags out of shape spends almost as much energy In pulling himself together as he does In the specified motion itself. On the other hand, the man whose muscles are disciplined is at a balance, ready at once to respond to any command from the brain. When a man’s muscles are soft, they sullenly resent all orders from the brain. They have not learned to obey. Ttie nerves must be even more strict ly disciplined. For even if a soldier’s muscles are trained to execute any or der he receives, if his nerves run away with him. good legs only carry him faster. And discipline of the mind is most important of all. for the mind ad ministrates through the nerves. A disciplined mind will think precise ly. That is why military training re quires that a soldier speak precisely, that he follow correct forms in receiv ing and transmitting orders, in making out reports, in addressing a letter. The crispness of military intercourse does not stunt mental development. But war is the most exact of modern sciences and a soldier must strive to become exact. In other words, he is simply taught how to think—not what to think. As soon as a soldier begins to think he will understand his place in a group formation. He will learn that the han dling of large bodies of men pivots upon the handling of a squad. He will familiarize himself with his work in a 'quad, and in that way discover his importance to the command as a whole. Tri« squad consists of eight men. lr two rows of four. It is under the com mand of a corporal. Two squads forrr j a section, under the command of a ser geant. Three sections (at peac* strength) form a platoon and two pla toons a company. Four companies make a battalion; three battalions, plus a headquarters company, a machine gun company, and supply company, s regiment. The young soldier learns that as the squad moves, so the company or the regiment moves. He learns that if he individually executes the orders he re ceives in the appointed space and at the appointed moment, a whole regi ment may wheel from squad to com pany front and back again, for exam ple. without the loss of a step. Each part of the machine will fit perfectly into place. On the other hand, if he n» an individual falls down in his part, i the squad evolution is spoiled, the i symmetry of the company is broken I and the whole regiment suffers in con- j sequence. The responsibility rests upon each man—this the young soldier must learn. And he must also learn that discipline is the quickest means yet devised to give any body of sol- j diers that perfect team work, that au | tomatic, unconscious co-ordination without which battles and campaigns, cannot be successfully planned and fought. THE FUNDAMENTAL POSITION OF THE SOLDIER. The young soldier, before he can handle a gun, must learn how to han dle himself. He must learn that there are right ways and wrong ways of j carrying his arras and legs, just as there are with a rifle. He must learn how to stand, how to walk. The boy on the street usually stands i on his heels, with his shoulders slouched over, his stomach thrust for ward and his spine curving in and out j like an hour-glass. Literally, he has ! no “back-bone.” Back-bone is the first essential of the soldier. The position of a soldier does not re quire that he shove his chest ahead of him like a bay-window, or stiffen his Attention—the First Position of the Soldier. head, or spread his feet painfully. The position of a soldier might be most quickly and correctly obtained if a man could be taken by a hair and lift ed up until every part of his body | except his feet became suspended. , This would establish the natural ver j tical alignment. With the weight rest ing equally upon the balls of the feet and the heels, the waist drawn in, and the head properly raised, a straight line would pass approximately from the balls of the feet through the belt buckle to the chin. The body is then j at the balance, with the muscles re laxed, not rigid. The soldier is now : in position to execute any order which may be required of him. Specifically, according to the regula tions, the heels are placed on the same line, the feet turned at an angle of 45 degrees; the knees straight without stiffness; hips level and drawn back slightly; body erect and resting equal ly on the hips; chest lifted and arched; j shoulders square and falling equally; | arms and hands hanging naturally, thumb along the seam of the trousers. (In past times, the little finger was placed along the seam of the trousers with the palm turned out, producing an artificial rigidity which does not be long to the modern American soldier.) The head must be erect and squarely to the front, chin drawn in so that the axis of the head is vertical, with the eyes also straight to the front. This is the fundamental position of the soldier. It is the position of at tention, the basic command to which every soldier responds. It is from the position of attention that all move ments of the soldier proceed. It fol lows that until a soldier has mastered the art. or science, of standing at at tention easily and naturally, he cannot properly execute the movements of the drill. It is therefore highly important that the young soldier school himself to stand properly, or at attention, un til such time as that pose becomes unconsciously as much a part of his being as his arms or legs. A man who can instantly assume the position of attention and hold it until otherwise ordered hag taken a very im portant step toward becoming a good soldier. He has learned a big lesson in physical, nervous and mental discipline. The Commuter. Black—Our friend Tinker Is a com- . muter now.

Count Benckendorff, lay on his death bed, the London newspapers were keenly interested in his condition. One reporter, somewhat more persistent than his rivals, made almost hourly trips to the embassy to receive bed side bulletins. Each time he appeared he was informed by a majestic Eng lish flunky in gold lace that there was “rahly no chynge in his excellency’s condition. Quite nothing to report.” After about six weary rounds between his office and the embassy, the report er became suspicious of the monotony of the butler's reply, and said he’d Just sit down and wait until there was some change. “But, rahly, sir,” remonstrat ed the flunkey, “there’ll be nothing fur ther to report.

Because Trained Workers Khow What to Do and How to Do It—They Accomplish Won ders in Record Time—Recent Tornadoes in Central States Examples of Sudden Great Trouble—Help Would Reach Our Community Very Quickly in Feriod of Stress. Just how does the Red Cross begin work when^in emergency arises. Most persons know, in a general way. that the Red Cross is on the ground very quickly after a disaster, and rescues the living, buries the dead and cares for the destitute; but perhaps few know how the first step is taken, or who takes it, or what he does next. This story is meant to show just what was done, and how, when the tornado of May 26 laid waste the cities of Mat toon and Charleston. 111., with a loss of nearly 100 lives, 1,000 persons made homeless, and property worth millions destroyed. It was late on a Saturday afternoon when news of the disaster began to trickle from the telegraph wires to the newspapers. Offices and shops were closed, and Chicago had gone home to its dinner and its Saturday evening relaxations. The first word to the Red Cross of the storm came through a Chicago paper to Charles Lee Bryson of the central division staff of the Red Cross. One of the editors called Mr. Bryson at his home and told him what had happened, “feeling sure the Red Cross would want to get on the job.” It did. Director John J. O'Connor of the central division was in Wash ington attending the Red Cross war council, at which it was determined to ask the country for Slh0.000.000. But Mr. Bryson located Walter Davidson, another of headquarters staff, who had remained late at the office to finish some work, and they took hold of the situation instantly. After wiring Director O’Connor and the national officers. Mr. Davidson started for Mattoon on the next train. Mr. Bryson remaining in Chicago to keep the office open on Sunday and give all possible help from there. The newspapers kept them both informed of the widening extent of the disaster. “Mayor Swan is calling for troops, and estimates the dead in Mattoon at other points whence the nurses and workers were summoned. An unofficial report said that food and blankets were needed, and A. A. Sprague II. director of the Red Cross supply service, made arrangements to open a great corporation's wholesale warehouse, and ship “everything they need,” Sunday though it was. Secre tary Champion of the Chicago chap ter arranged to get 000 pairs of blan kets from the chapter's warehouse and send them on the first train. But the wires from Mattoon, working busily all day. improved long enough, late at night, for Air. Davidson to get through a message that the food and blanket situation was not just then acute, but that he wanted disinfectants and anti septics. The head of a wholesale drug con cern was routed out of bed. the firm's warehouse opened, and at two o'clock in the morning a Red Cross man. with a consignment of iodine, peroxide of hydrogen, chloride of lime and other needed supplies, started for the strick en cities. Mr. Davidson had been joined by W. D. Thurber. field secretary for Illi nois. whom he placed in charge at Charleston. When Mr. O'Connor arrived, with the nurses and workers, he found both his lieutenants on the ground, and with' the Chicago office ready to give instant support, he began the relief work. A committee of business men was organized, a number of smaller committees told off to take charge of each detail of the situation, and in a few minutes the machinery was in operation. The injured were given the best sur gical and nursing care, the hungry were fed. the homeless given shelter, the dead identified and made ready for burial, plans drawn up for rebuilding the shattered homes, and a fund start ed to rehabilitate both wrecked cities. Other communities, struck by branches of the same storm, were giv Mattoon and other cities in central Illinois were wrecked a few weeks ago by a tornado which killed and injured hundreds and wrought enor mous property damage. The picture shows a poor mother and her four children in the kindling-wood ruins of their home. The husband and father was killed. Red Cross directors, doctors and nurses were in charge at the scene of the catastrophe within ten hours after the storm. 100,” was the last word direct from the stricken district before the wires were out of commission. Next morning telegrams began to pour into division headquarters. Mr. Davidson, on the scene, reported that perhaps 50 persons were dead in Mat toon, 400 injured, 600 families home less, and private property—chiefly res idences of working people—to the value of $1,000,000 destroyed. He called for Red Cross nurses and work ers at once. Charleston, he said, was in but little better case than Mattoon. John W. Champion, executive sec retary of Chicago chapter, and several members of the division staff, realizing that the Red Cross would be ‘‘on the job.” hurried to the office, and all day long, and until after one o’clock at night, the office was reaching out with telegraph and telephone, snatching Red Cross nurses and workers from their Sunday diversions and starting them for Mattoon and Charleston. Miss Minnie F. Ahrens, head of the Chicago Red Cross nursing service, and Miss Myra V. Van Xostrand. su perintendent of the central district of the United Charities, plunged into the work of collecting their nurses and workers—no easy matter on a Sunday, when almost nobody was at home. Mr. O'Connor reached Chicago from Washington at three o'clock, and in a short time was handling everything. Right and left he issued orders for three hours, and when he left for Mat toon on the next train, help from all over the central division was on the way to that town. He took with him Miss Ahrens and twelve of her best nurses and fifteen trained social work ers from the Chicago United Charities, who had given invaluable help in the Eastland steamer disaster. On the same train went six crates of hospital supplies. Until after one o’clock that night the office was held open, completing arrangements by long distance with Cincinnati. Indianapolis, Springfield. Elgin, Bloomington, St. Louis, and en relief by other workers. For in stance, there was a rumor that in northern Indiana 17 had been killed at one place, and great property dam age done. “Let Bentley and Loomis look after northern Indiana, and wire Cleveland to help.” was Mr. O'Connor’s order. “Let Foster report to me at Mattoon with all the help he can bring.” A. F. Bentley is state director of Indiana; F. D. Loomis is head of the Children’s Aid society of Indianapolis and gave valued help at the Newcastle cyclone; Eugene C. Foster of Indianap olis is a skilled charity worker. Each did promptly what Mr. O’Connor want ed done. “Many reported killed by cyclone near Hickman. K.v.. but help has been sent, and we have the situation well in hand.” wired C. M. Roos, chairman of the Cairo (III.) chapter. He had seen much experience with the Red Cross in the Ohio valley floods some years ago, and knew exactly what to do and how to do it. That is how the wheels of the Red Cross started going round the moment the disaster occurred. And that is how they will start going round for our own community whenever it is struck by fire or flood, earthquake or pesti lence. Red Cross Membership. The membership of the American Red Cross on May 21 was little more than 2,000,000. This is an increase of 1.975,000, or 7900 per cent, in less than three years. When John J. O'Connor was appoint ed director of the central division, and ordered to raise $100,000 for European war relief work in the winter of 1914 15. there were 25.000 members in the whole American Red Cross. When he had raised the money—and more—he started a membership campaign in the Chicago chapter, of which he was then secretary, and in ten days added 12, 500 members to it. Make-Believe of Flowers. Cyclamen like to pretend they are cross little animals with their ears laid back; or else that they are little fu gitive maidens fleeing very fast across the meadows, with their hair blown back from their lovely faces. Their whimsical trick of play-acting like this Is all a part of their quaint mirth. They have, of course, other attributes M well—beauty, and spirituality, and love. Love I feel with flowers particu larly. I seem to get hold of that ex quisite sense of the whole world’s be ing wrapped In the essence of God’s love more often through flowers than through anything else. They are to me indescribably dear merry little com panions. My affection goes out to them constantly in a deep, happy rev erence. The reverence is not only for the lovely little things themselves, but also for the wonder that is back of them—an ecstasy of worship.—Atlan tic.

In | fact, everyone connected with courts, : looked at Miss Moscowitz with great ! curiosity at first. Witnesses would not talk to her. and one day a man walked up to her in court and said, ’Do men really give you cases to try?’ “ ‘Sometimes,’ the little lady an swered. smiling at the question. “ ‘Do they pay you ?’ “‘Sometimes,’ was again her rejoin der. “ ’Then they must be fools.’ And he walked away.” I Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or [ any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted right out with the fingers if you I will apply on the corn a few drops of freezone, safs a Cincinnati authority.

The long distance lines are used only occasionally by the large majority of telephone subscribers. i For this reason a charge is made for each long distance call instead of meeting the expense of provid ing this service by increasing the local telephone rates.

Canadian Farmers Profit From Wheat The war’s devastation of European crops has caused an unusual demand for grain from the American Conti nent The people of the world must be fed and wheat near $2 a bushel offers great proiits to the farmer.

She wants settlers to make money and happy, prosperous homes for themselves by helping her niae immense wheat crops. yob can get a Homestead of 160 acres FREE and other lands at remarkably low prices.
