We do not know what the months may bring, nor what nations may be in the war at the end of the year. Germany has already laid plans to attack this country via Mexico. That she did not succed was due to no fault of her intriguing agents here and abroad.

The is such a precious virtue that it shduld be fully recognized and honored. Our boys who went to the first call of the colors were more than loyal to their country. There is such a great con- trast between the volunteers and the slackers that nothing should be left undone to honor the former and brand the latter. The blanks which appear every day in the Herald are for the purpose of compiling a com- plete iist of our loyal boys who went without much ado to the service of Uncle Sam. It behooves every father and mother, every sister and brother, every kinsman, every friend, who has a son, a brother, a kinsfolk, or a friend in the army, the navy, or the national guard to fill out one of these blanks and return it to this office. In this way there will soon be recorded on the books of history data to de- termine just who is who in point of service. There should not be one name omitted. There are boys from this town in the army to the number of almost one thousand, & goodly quota from a city of less than sixty thousand population. There are hoys in the navy, and in the national guard who have been with the colors for lo these many months,—even be- fore the declaration of war.

In the library of the Catholic Uni- versity at Washington, D. C., there is one of the rarest books in existence. “Valavarattam” is the title of this ancient tome which is one of the sacred books of India. There are within its covers 300 pages written on palm leaves. No one yet has placed a value upon this volume, but as it is the only one known to be in existence and, further, is one of the four principal books aof Brahmanism it is highly valued in the east.

MAKING GOOD AS A SOLDIER. | (Preceding Lesson: 1. Your Post of Honor.) The National Army, in which you are to take your place, truly expresses the American character and ideals. It is a great democratic army. It in- cludes men of all degrees of wealth and education, chosen through fair and open selection by lot. All are brought together on terms of equality. There has been and there will be in this great National Army no favorit- ism and no “pull.” The poor man will drill side by side with the man who i has been raised in luxury. Each will learn from the other. The place each man makes for himself will be deter- mined by his own work and ability. Developing Soldierly ' Qualities. The question as to whether it is better to join the colors now or with a later contingent is not worth arguing, since the decision has been made for each man by lot. An ambitious man, however, will be glad to join now. It glves him a better chance for promo- tion. The commissioned officers of the first \contingent are picked men who have voluntarily gone threugh the hardest kind of training. The officers of later contingents will be drawn largely from the men enlisted in the first contingents. There is plenty of opportunity here for every man to use his bralns and his energy and to earn promotion according to his worth. ‘This does not mean easy or quick ad- vancement. It means only that you will have your fair chance—and you would ask for nothing more—to devel- op yourself and to climb upward step by step. In order to make good in the Na- tional Army you must, first of all fit yourself to carry with credit the sim- ple title of ‘“American Citizen-Soldier’ —one of the proudest titles in the world. This means that you must develop in yourself the qualities of a soldier. oughly you cultivate them, the greater will be your satisfaction and success. There is very little real difference of opinion as to soldierly qualities.

Loyalty. A sf)ldier's loyalty governs, first of all, his feelings and action toward his country, his government and his flag. There can be no such thing as half- way loyalty. The slightest compro- mise opens the door to treason. But a soldier's loyalty does not stop here. It governs also his feelings and actlons toward the army and toward all the officers under whom he serves. It absolutely forbids disobedience among both officers and enlisted men, ;;r disrespect toward those in author- Y. Going a step farther, loyalty gov- erns also a soldier’s feelings and ac- tions toward his own regiment, his own company and his own squad. Without this form of loyalty ?h:l('is can be no real comradeship; without it you will never feel that personal pride and satisfaction in the service which should mean so much in your army life. Obedience. The second of the soldier's basic qualities is obedience, based on dls- cipline. Without obedience and dis- cip“n_@. an army can not long continue to exist; it will quickly disintegrate into an armed mob. As the Infantry Drill Regulations put it, discipline is “the distinguishing mark of trained troops.” Frequently the recruit, with his in- born dislike of being bossed, makes the mistake during his first few weeks in the army of resenting the fact that immediate and unquestioning obedi- ence is required of him. He quickly learns, however, that obedience en- forced throughout the army. is in all situations the chief safeguard of the rights, the comfort and the safety of every man, from the raw recruit to the commanding general. Itis a guar- antee that the smeall number of unruly | or cowardly men to be found in every group shall be kept in check and forced to comply with rules made for the benefit of all. Military discipline is always imper- sonal. Obedience 1s required not merely of you, but of every man in the army. It is required of officers by their superiors with fully as much | strictness as it is required of you.

Weapons change, but the soldiers who handle the weapons re- main much the same. Physical Fitness. The third basic quality, physical fit- ness, is so essentlal that a large part of the time devoted to your training will be spent in building it up. Physi- cal fitness includes not only muscular development but good health and en- | durance as well. It 1s a quality which every man who passes the physical ex- amination cun develop in himself by The Road to France. { (Capt. J.
