One of the most important phases of military discipline is that of the Personal appearance. A soldier in-camp' or in barracks’ should keep himself spic and span. He should scrub himself in a daily ‘shower, if showers are available, shave infallibly, kéep his uniform brushed and his shoes polished. _ NaturaHly, drill and other military duties, even in camp, da not enable him to remain altogether immaculate, for that. would interfere with his werk. But while the day of the “kid sol- dier” is passed, the constant attention, to cleanliness will overcome the grime which attaches to the daily routine and will give the general appearance of neatness. Dust which has settled on the ugyiform in a drill has a look of neatness which {iffers distinctly from a large and indelible stain, In the same way, faces and hands whith are normally clean reveal this fact even if. temporarily soiled; whereas, faces and hands which are habitually .dirty cannot give a wholly clean impression even when washed. The habit of cleanliness in the sol- djer will become second nature, if he s not an instinctive sloven. He will find ‘that he is not comfortable in the regimental street or on the parade ground unless he is neat—wholly aside from the fact that his officers will require it. He will soon realize that an-unshaven map in ¢amp looks even worsé than an unshaven man in an office—that a man whose hair is not kept closely cut_ has a more ragged appearance in unltorm than in civilian’s clothes, ‘When outside of quarters or_his fm- mediate company street, ‘the soldier’s SWATTHEFLY' 1§ AGAIN THE SLOGAN: Health Department Makes Spring Drive - Against " Pests The first gun, in the annual “swat the fly” campaign was fired today in the monthly Teport of the board of health. ‘Attention of restaurants and stores is.also called to special wciry ordinances which become effective at this time of the year. - Following 1Is the monthly reports, with™appended notices. f “All doors, windows and transome opening to the.outer air from res- taurants or stores where food is sola shall be properly screened from the first day of April until the first day ot November.

We are in hopes that this year it will not be necessary to bring court proceedings in order to enforce .the screening.

For a man to go out into the regimental street or parade with his coat hanging open and his hands In his pockets, or even with one’or two buttons unfastened, ltke front teeth missing from the mouth, is inexcusable. A man should g0 forth only when scrupulously but- toned and shoes securely tied, leggings i correctly adjusted and fastened. His hands should fall at his side in any easy, soldierly fashion, and he should ! not disarrange the appearance of his uniform by ramming them into his Pocket. He should not wear, his hat on the side of his head, but straight. (If the weather is warm, the pre- scribed uniform will allow a man to appear in his shirt, with or without a black necktie, according to whether he is on field service.) The soldier’s pearance when he meets an officer is important not only in the matter of the clothes, but in the manner of his salute. He should never salute an officer with a pipe, cigar or cigarette in his mouth. He should remove the pipe or cigar, and, le holding it inconspituously at his side with the left hand, salute proper- ly with the right. ~ He should nevér chew gum while saluting He should never salute with one hand in his pocket. In fact, whenever a soldier meets an officer and salutes, he should || feel that he is under inspection, as, to tell the truth, he is, for if there is a detail about' his uniform or deport- ment which is irregular, the sharp eyes of the officer will detect it.

NFLUENGE OF ©. S. IN IRISH PROBLEM| America May Be'Means of Forc- " ing Home Rule Bill London, May 8.—That the entry of the United States into the war may influence a settlement of the Irish prablem—self-government for Ireland —is now not only the subject of com- ment in the Irish newspapers but is forming an absorbing topic for edi- torials and specia] articles in the Northcliffe press, notably the Lon- don Times. It is even suggested that America may have a direct hand in the settlement; its influence in Irish affairs 'is said to be shown in 4n- creased recruiting in Ireland. The Freeman's Journal, the aofficial organ of the Nationalist party says: “It is quite true that nobody would expect America to interfere in Emng- land’s domestic differences, but as timeé goes on it is unthinkable that America, fighting for the principle laid down by President Wilson and having such a large population of Irishmewn’ In her States, will not point out to England the nécessity of act- ing in acoordance with her own prin- ciples.” The Times suggests that it an American contingent is sent to Europe it should ' visit Ireland on its way to France. “The Irish people”, it says, are bewildered and almost paralyzed by the new turn of events There js an end to all talk of ‘England’s War’ and of sympathy with ‘Germany. The whole fabric of their,anti-recruiting ‘propaganda is undermined. Never at heart reluctant to fight, some of them heartily ashamed of their idles ness, and some of them held back al- most by force; the young Irishmen are beginning perforce to see this spread- ing struggle for freedom in a new and larger light. *“No one would lightly involve the American Republic in dur own domes- tic difficulties, but it would be sheer folly not to recognize that Natjonal- ist Ireland is still far closer akin Irish Americans than to Englishmen.” -Some-of:the _papers estimate that T there are 260,000, able boated mem - ]ln Ireland who eligible for military uorvlce.

In fact, life is very pleasant in this solitary island in the Pacific where the several hun- dred inhabitants have no one to to trouble them and where they have had no mail since the war, although they know something about the great'f: conflict from passing steamers.
