HAS SEEN FIVE WARS
A YOUNG JOURNALIST WHO HAS
 HAD 4 VARIED EXPERIENCE.

MT. Willard, After Having Seen the
 American Soldier Under Many Con-
 ditions and In Many Places, Says
 He Is a Mighty Good Fighting Man.
 Thomas F. Willard, tho war core spondent who is now lecturing in this country, has seen much fighting for young man. He is 32, and during the last five years he has reported five wars. He began with South Ameri- can revolution, and since then he has written about battles in the Spanish American, the Philippine, South Africa and Chinese wars. All this experience has given him q high idea of the Amer ican soldier. Here is q short article written for this paper by Mir. Willard in which he expresses this view:
 During the recent war ill China the officers of the various military powers closely observed the personnel, equip ment and general bearing of the troops of the different nationalities. European officers were particularly interested in the American soldier. it being the first time they had had all opportunity to see him in the tieid.
 Their interest Was accentHated by the fact taHt the tactical lessons of the war in south Africa have pointed SO surely and forcihly to q revolution of military methods in which individual intelligence and initiative on the part of the man who carries rife will count for more than ever before. While none of the European officers had any criticism to make of the fighting quail ties of Uncle Sam's soldiers, they did freely criticise his careless, slovenly appearance when not on duty and what seemed to them to be paipable lack of discipline.
 Now. discipline must not be spoken of as q fixed quantity. The same disci- pline will no more fit all nationalitics than the same sized boot will fit all men. And in my opinion officers edu- cated in the continental military schools are apt t9 confuse discipline with drill
 Drill is the method of teaching q man his duties as q soldier and how to per form them Discipline is the influence, either inherent or applied. which will

Old Point Not Virginia.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)


NEWPORT NEWS. VA. Feb. %
Judge Blackstone, of the Circuit Court,
Saturday handed down q decision of ex-
IRENE Importance and which may bring
about further complications between the
county OF elizabeth City and the resi-
dents of Old Point COMFORT. He holds
that Old Point is not part of Virginia,
and consequently the real and personal
property there ought not 20 be taxed for
school purposes by the county. Two
years ago Chesapeake District School
Board, which has district control of the
PhoebuS schools, secured an Junction
against the County School Board re-
straining it from distributing among the
four districts OF the county the school tax
collected on the property at Old Point, its
contention being that Old Point was
part of Chesapeake District up to the
time that Virginia coded the tract TO the
Government for q military reservation.
and that the money collected there should
benefit Chesapeake District instead of al!
four districts.
After hearing argument of counsel for
both sides, Judge Blackstone rendered
his decision, holding that Old Point is not
q part of Virginia and that the special
tax, if, indeed, it was legal for any 20 be
collected from the property there by the
State of Virginia. should go to all four
OF the districts of~Elizabeth City county
instead of Chesapeake District only The
matter will be carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States for final de-
cision. 1t is probable now that residents
OF Old Point will refuse to pay taxes
further to the State of Virginia
