Taught Habirs OF Frue.I,tv,

One OF the pecullaritics about tho
military service I'm Germany is the
paternal interest that the officers are
required to take In the frugalIty OF
the men. The pay OF the soldier Is
only g cents a day. but the army regu-
lations guard IT Jealously. Each man
is expected to keep his money in n
little bag suspended from string
around his neck. and any officer dur
ing inspection may demand to have
the bags opened and their contents
shown. If 1t be found that a soldier
is spending his pay too freely he Is
reprimanded and punished. He is
compelled to make his pay cover his
expenses.

England, where for more than a cen

very credltable American scores. The
best American score at national
meeting, made by Col. Robert VIII

the double York round (995) is bare
