Marsh joined the City training and to be of some service, being somewhat fearful that he would not be taken even in the draft.

While in camp he added twenty I‘runwnuxnlx o his weight and otherwise | Maproved He went across in July. He writes as follows from ‘France: “The reason I e not written in the past few days is that I have not got to it. In fact there is not a great deal that I can write about. Life goes on here much the same each day, there is little change. Not even the weather changes—except that one ‘day it is hot and no clouds in the sky; the next is hot with clouds in the sky and a slight breeze. As a rule though the days are very warm and cloudless.

They never hitch them into a team as we do at home. The harness, too, is heavy and ponderous.

With America at war, busi aess-men must realize today as never before that business is service. SErvICE to the Government first, then service to the trade. Not in the spirit of profit-making, but in holding fast to sound principles and quality- standards. THESE TIMES are a great training period for the new conditions, for the higher ideals of service and re- sponsibility, that are coming after the War. ThHis 15 a trial-time and a time of great opportunity. The view a busi- ness-house takes of that opportunity is the real test of its character and its future. ON THE ONE HAND, it is an oppor- tunity for lowering of quality; it is an opportunity for running after attrac- tive temporary business; of neglect- ing old customers for new ones; of seeking the highest bidder; of using the situation for greater profit, or short-sighted, selfish ends. ON THE OTHER HAND, it is an oppor- tunity for broadly and fairly doing one’s impartial best; standing by one’s customers ; treating all alike and re- fusing to add to the difficulties of the 6D ({c AL Copyright, 1918.
