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

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.

his office and the embassy, the report

of the butler's reply, and said he’d Just

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.

Anna Moscowitz, a successful wom

opponents, we are told in the American
Magazine.
“They are invariably overpolite, call

feminine opponent.’ At first they held
her cheaply; hut when Miss Moscowitz

“One distinguished lawyer walked
up to her and said she had defeated

i of a woman lawyer That he had been a
i little careless with his case. She met
j him in court a few weeks later, anti
i he came over, shook hands, smiled, and
I said, ‘I'm ready this time.’
“Witnesses, judges, attendants. In
| fact, everyone connected with courts,
: looked at Miss Moscowitz with great

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

“ ‘Do they pay you ?’
“‘Sometimes,’ was again her rejoin

How Did He?
The absent-minded professor from

He read the sign over the door of
the elevator:
“This car express to fifth and sixth
floors. Up only.”
Absently he read the sign again.
Then the car door opened.
“I would like to know.” he asked
the elevator hoy. “if this elevator goes

The elevator boy grinned, frowned,

Too III to Walk Upright. Operation
Advised. Saved ly Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
This woman now raises chickens and
does manual labor. Read her story:
Richmond, Ind.—“For two years I
was so sick and weak with troubles
i-. from my age that
wnen going up
stair3 I had to go
very slowly with
my hands on the
steps, then sit down
at the top to rest.
The doctor said he
thought I should
have an operation,
and my friends
thought I would not
live to move into
our new house. My
uaugnier asKea we
to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound as she had taken it with good
results. I did so, my weakness dis
appeared, I gained in strength, moved
into our new home, did all kinds of
garden work, shoveled dirt, did build
ing and cement work, and raised hun
dreds of chickens and ducks. I can
not say enough in praise of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
if these facts are useful you may pub
lish them for the benefit of other
women. Mrs. M. O. Johnston,Routs

Should Thrive Now.
“What has become of the old cult
for plain living and high thinking?”
“Ought to he stronger than ever
now. Those who are forced to plain
living are doing some tall thinking."
A bald man may have a great head
for any kind of business—except that
of a harbor.
The Reason for
Toll Charges
Less than one-fourth of the
telephone subscribers make three
fourths of all the long distance
telephone calls.
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.
If we gave free long distance
service it would mean that all
telephone subscribers would pay
the cost of maintaining the long
distance lines which are used
! generally by only a few.

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

Canada’s invitation is therefore
especially attractive. 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. During many
year* Canadian wheat field* have averaged 20 bushels to
the acre many yields as high as 45 bushels to the acre.
Wonderful crops also of Oats, Barley aad flax.
Mired faming as profitable an Industry as grain rais
ing The excellent grasses full of nutrition are the only
food required for beef or dairy purposes. Good schools,
churches, markets convenient, climate excellent.
