The spokesmen of Great Britain and France and Italy have laid down their objects in the war. And the one outstanding fact in all these world is tired of the brute force of Prussian militar- ism and is determined to stamp it out once and for all. The world is trying ta rid itself of an outworn system of posals sincere time. ssertions is that the government, autocracy, and erect in its place a universal government of the people, by the people, and for the peo- ple—democracy.

When President Bedford of the standard Oil Company first urged automobile owners to ‘“go easy”, to save as much gasoline as possible by curtailing their pleasure rides, there were many people who laughed the Mr. Bedford is chair- man of the Committee on Petroleum on the Council of National Defense and knows whereof he speaks. idea to scorn. Nor, may it be presumed that he issued the warning merely for the sake of break- ing into print. Surely he did not do to help ruin the ofl business, in which he is so intimately interested. The main fact he pointed out was to the effect that oil production in the past few years has failed to keep pace with consumption; that the supply is nowhere irg keeping with the demand. | That is law of economics which, }once it Zns to work, may cause a serious upheaval in any market. On top of what President Bedford | has had to say Director Manning of the Bureau of Mines has added a few { words. His advice is not taken kind- 11y by some neewspaper critics who laim he wants the nation to go with- { out its customary pleasure rides and | that eventually the “movies” | dispensed with s0 may be to carry out the killing of joy. ~What Mr. Manning wishes to impress upon the | public the of be- further is absolute necessity conserving the gasoline supply | cause of the great needs of the Gov- ernment..

(Preceding l.esson 1. Your Post of Making Good as a Sol- Nine Soldierly Qualities.) training for vour duties as a soldier will begin after you and vour comrades are assembled at the training camps. However, there are a few simple things you can do dur- ing the next few weeks which will be of decided value in getting you started along the right lines. The simplest thing, and perhaps the most useful of all, is to begin at once to practice correct habits of standing and waiking. Ev ivilian life a man’s reputation in his community— ves, and for that matter his own self- ‘espect—is determined to a surpris ing extent by his bearing. The man who slouches feels like a slonch. The man who holds his head up faces the world with confidence and courage. If this is true in civilian life, it is ten times more true in military life. For a soldier must always be strongly marked by his snap, his precision, and his vigor. He can not have these traits unless he carries himself like a soldier. The Bearing of a Soldier. Few people without military train- ing have a correct idea of what is meant by the position and the bear- ing of a soldier. They are apt to imagine that it means a strut or an extremely strained attitude. Or, more Honor. dier. 3 Your real frequently, they think that the term | can properly be applied to any erect position. The truth of the case, how- ever, is that there is a definite procedure to follow in order to place yourself in what is known in the army as “the position of a soldier,” it is the position which the dismounted sol- dier always assumes at the command “Attention,” except as it may be slightly modified to enable him to carry properly any arms he may have in his hands. It will be well for you to memorize paragraph 51 of the Infantry Drill Regulations, which gives the complete and accurate description of the posi- tion of the soldie This paragraph is slightly paraphrased and simplified in the description following: Keep in mind that there are ten elements which must be properly adjusted to each other, and check yourself up to see that each one of them is properly placed. i, near each other as possible; most men should be able to stand with heels touching each other. 2. Feet—turned out equally and forming an angle of about 45 degrees. 3. Knees—straight without stiff- ness. 4. Hips—Ilevel and drawn back lightly; body erect and resting equal- ly on hips. 5. Chest-—lifted and arched. 6. Shoulders—square and falling equally. 7. Arms—hanging naturally, 8. Hands hanging naturally, thumb along the seam of the trousers. 9. Head—erect and squarely to the front; chin drawn in so that axis of head and neck is verticle (means that a straight line drawn through the cen- ter of head and neck should be ver- tical) eyes straight to the front. Heels—on the same line and as ING COURSE of body and 10. Entire body—weight resting equally upon the heels balls’of the feet. Note especially that you are not re- quired to stand in a strained attitude. | You are to be alert but not tense. One of the very best things you can do today is to spend fifteen minutes practising this position, getting right. Keep thig up every day until vou report at camp. In the army, as in every day life, first impressions are important. The first impression you make on your officers and fellows will depend, more than yau probably realize on the manner in which you stand and walk, Making Yourself “Fit.” If vou can devote part of your time between now and the opening of camp to physical exercise you are for- tunate and should by all means take advantage of every opportunity. Climbing, jumping, gymnastic exer- cises, all kinds of competitive games, swimming, rowing, boxing, wrestling and running, are all recommended as excellent methods of developing the skill, strength, endurance, grace, courage and self-reliance that every soldier needs. There are some simple rules of eat- ing and living which all of us should follow regularly. They will be espe- cially Jhelpful to you if you put them I\nto practice in preparing for camp life. | Perhaps the most important of these rules is to use no alcohol of any | kind. If you have been in the habit of smoking immoderately, cut down; get your wind, your nerves and your di- gestion into the best possible condi- tion. | Eat and drink moderately. Chew vour food well. It is advisable, how- ever, to drink a great deal of cool (not cold) water between meals. Don't eat between meals. Keep away from soda fountains and soft drink stands. Learn to enjoy simple, nourishing food. Accustom yourself to regular hours for sleeping, eating and the morning functions. Don’t “take a last fling.”” It may land you in the hospital. At the best it will probably bring you into camp in an unfit condition to take up your duties with profit and enjoyment. ! There are strenuous days ahead of | you and it will be good sense on your | part to make reasonable preparation for them. . | ook Forward With Confidence. | You will find nothing required of " vou in the army that is beyond the rowers of the every day American. You will see clearly ahead of you after you have read this course, the | path which you are to follow. Look . forward with confldence. Enter the | service with the firm determination of doing your best at all times, of ! playlng square with your superiors, | your associates, and yourself, and of | taking care always of your assigned | duties whatever may happen. { new { You will find that everyone else J will treat you with courtesy and fair- | ness—for that is the inflexible rule of the army.

The let« ter was dated July 15. It says: “I know there is certainly no way it | that in writing I can give you any idea of the experiences I have passed through and the things I have seen. I might just as well confine my re- marks to ‘I am well and hope you , are the same.’ “At present I am writing on a hard- wood table under an electric desk lamp. I am within a few hundrea vards of the German trenches, and hell is loose above me. But here It is perfectly quiet; I am three storied below ground. Here I wait till my car is needed. The air is fresh buu somewhat damp; the place is dark, cluttered with stretchers; brancar- dlers pass in and out. “Across the table sits an officer at a switchboard. Every Ilittle while, perhaps once every flve minutes, men come in by the communication trenches, bearing silent, wounded sol- liers. They are carried into a small room in the second cellar and tha surgeons begin their work. P “I am surprised at the excellent control I have over my nerves. This afternoon I opened a box of sardines, carefully spread the fish on a hunk of bread, and ate the light lunch with relish while a priest heard con« fession of a dying man nearby. L know it sounds heartless, but one has to develop the faculty of giving opi- ates to one’s sympathetic reactions. “It is only afterward that I re- member these horrors—a man with face torn away; a shameful animal thing out of which came a slight, in- describable sound, a man suffering from shell shock, mind gone, every muscle of his body quivering. Sky Split and Sundered. “Well, if I am ‘on deck’ and they have a load of wounded ready I emerge from the quiet cavern into a world where the sky 1is shattered, split, sundered by report after repors. The earth shakes and quivers. Aero- planes above, 75s below, German ar- tillery over the hill, the shriek of shells passing above. ‘“‘Somehow Eames and I start the engine. We receive our freight of wounded.- We are off, at first through narrow, cluttered streets of a placs where a town once was. Then wa dip into a stretch of road marked in our maps ‘unavoidably dangerous ' It is about three-quarters of a mile !ong. Up the valley we can see the German positions. “‘Bang! Bang! Crash!" everywhere. In spite of the souls in agony behind * us, we tear madly down this stretch with every ounce of power the car has. Once safe around the corner, we go slowly until we deliver our load at the hospital. “Three of our cars have been hit by shells, two put temporarily out of commission. One car hit a new shell hole two nights ago and tipped over. The driver left the car to find a tele- phone, and when he returned he found a shell had passed through the driver’s seat. No Hate For Germans. T have no hatred of the Germans. Somehow 1 am beyond that. BEven when they came down in aeroplanes on our hospital the other night and=x with bombs killed and wounded four- teen, including nurses, I could not summoa hatred—only herror and ‘wonder. “On one trip I carried a half dozen French doctors and one wounded man, a ‘couche’ of considerable inter< est. He was a Prussian first lieuten< ant, the highest officer taken in tha recent attack. After lying in tha¢ trenches for a day he was brought in with the remaining French wounded. When we unloaded him I addressed him {n German: ‘Guten Morgen, Her{ Lieutenant; wie befinden Sie sich?’ He answered in German, but I soon discovered he spoke excellent FEng-< Yish. I had only admiration for him, He had such magnificent control over himself. ‘““He lay on his stretcher in the cen< ter of a ring of auestioning French< men. One leg was badly torn. Hig face, with thin, straight nose, color« less lips and wide, intellectual eyes, betrayed no pain or any emotion. Ag he answered the questioners in hig flawless French he took off his round . [ & shell-rimmed glasses and with a plece{ of rag cleaned them with care, set< tling them back on his ears. “I am ‘en repos’ now for two days. Then I shall have two days of the safd and easy work of evacuation, then twa more of repose. This is good after forty-eight hours’ duty at the Poste da Secours.” OPPOSES TRISH REPUBLIC.
