In an instruction leaflet Colonel H. | Mayes, director of the Canadian | Army Gymnastic staff says: “The cultivation of the fighting | irit is the greatest problem with i which we are faced. For some timo rast the bayonet has been our es- pecial weapon, and no other nation has ever achieved such success with | cold steel. But there is something sl lacking in the training; the soldier is taught the spirit of the buyonet taught that he must strike | ard to kill, but he is not taught to take as well as give, punishment. “There is practically only one p: time to give our men this essential experience. That is boxin, In no other spert is the spirit of give and | take so strongly developed. And that iz why a new era in the training of the British soldier has come into ex- istence. We are going to try to teach our men that an offensive, combative spirit is the greatest asset a soldier car possess. In order to beat the Germans, the overage soldicr must realize that a tremendous effort has yet to be made, both physical and mental. Courage is created or largely based on confi- dence. Boxing teaches a man self- confidence, how to take a blow or a succession of blows, knowing that his opportunity is coming. | “What we owe to boxing and other sports in this crisis it Is impossible to calculate, notwithstanding that only ten per cent of the nation partici- pated. The mere fact of watching boxing and other sports has tended | in a measure to keep alive the com- hative instinct of the British race, although it must be remembered that | watching a game may increase an individual’s irit, but dces not im- prove his pt AIRHERO 15 MOST TIMID IN FAMILY | But Lieut. Baer Manages to Bring Down Boche Flyers of the training of every British sol- - I’ve never found any others that taste like Helmar Mobile, Ala., May 10.—Lieutenaat Frank Baer, member of the Lafayette cadrille who has just won designa- tion as an American “ace” by official recognition that he has brought down five German airplanes, is described by his father as “the most timid of our four children. But fighting has been Paul's game for some time,” the parent continued. How Licutenant Baer achieved’ his ambition was described by the Lieuu- tenant in a.recent letter to his father, , an engineer of the Louis- shville, railroad. Lieutenant Baer told his father in his letter dated March 13, that he had “ |'had five combats in the previous ten ,, days. Three bullets hit his machine but he shot down two Germans “and perhaps another one not yet con- firmed,” he said. Previous to winning this ‘“‘ace’” Lieutenant Baer had been decorated with the distinguished service cross Th . ° o 5 for Thonting L(IO\VYI‘IL i]-ilun a\\‘tiut(}())r én a battle against great odds.
