What the Army Offers.

Lieut.. Franklin X. Kenney Recruiting Officer
L. s. A.. in Harpers Weekly.
The Signal Corps of the United States
Army offers training to the enlisted man,
with the addition of aeronautics or the
science of ballooning and airships This
includes the making of trips through the
air in balloons handled by soldiers and
the teaching of wireless telegraphy and
wireless telephony. According to the
pamphlet issued by the War Department
these are some of the subjects in which
instructions are first given: Telegraphy
practice in sending and receiving; field eX-
ercises. night signaling. shopwork. tele-
graph and telephone instruments. deep-sea
cables. Members of the next or advanced
class are given instruction in theoretical
electricity, and a special course includes
instruction In laboratory work. signal en-
cheering motors engines, electric light
ing. dynamos. electrical testing. power
transmission, transformers, switchboards,
hydrogen gas generation, fire control in
stallation. photography and topography
At the completion of this course the
soldier if qualified. may become master
signal electrician at $15 per month, with
the same allowances as master cleo
trician of coast artillery.
The pay in these grades and in all
grades of the army is increased 20 per
cent for service beyond the limits of the
United States.
Should the least educated but applicable
recruit, with no knowledge of electricity
whatsoever, desire to become an cleo
trician he has ample time and material
at hand at any artillery post to enable
him to educate himself in the profession.
And when one stops to think of it. there
are advantages in being paid while one is
being educated. There is comfort in the
fact that. instead of the first of each
month bringing the landlord. the baker.
the butcher and the grocer Ito say moth
ing of the plumber) with their bills, 1t
brings instead the paymaste- with his al
ways ready check and its never erring
certainty. And above all, with this surety
comes the certainty of the mental and
physical betterment, both Of the ambitious
recruit and of the sluggard compelled by
intelligent discipline to better himself.

amined Agent Burns. and every one In the
courtroom. except the Witness seemed to
enjoy the implied joke when the attor-
ney asked: sis 1t not a fact that you
were asleep in the courtroom in San
Francisco?"
II positively declare that l was not
asleep Burns answered and he followed
this statement by another to the effect
that his attention had been called by Mr..
Rittenhouse. one of the government off,
GERS from Washington. to the pronuncia-
ton of the names in question by Mr.. Di-
mond.
Tucson Postmaster on Stand.
Testimony similar to that offered by
Agent Burns In his direct examination
was given by j. Knox Corbett. postmaster
yesterday afternoon and said Schneider
had admitted to him that the statements
In the HOlsinger report were true. Cor
bett saw Schneider in company with
Agent Burns. and he said Schneider re-
fused to make an affidavit because he had
given a Masonic pledge to Walter X.
Slack. clerk in Hyde's Office, that he
would not do so.
Corbett said Schneider came to him
again in 1904 with the statement that he
was greatly worried about the whole
matter that he would be willing to come
to Washington and go before the authori-
ties and tell all he knew about it. Wit
ness said he told Schneider he would fix
it, and few days later they started. in
company with third man, for this city
They travelled together until the train
reached this side of the Potomac river
and stopped. Schneider and the other
man must have left the train at that time
because Mr.. COrbett went through thu
train before IT reached the station and he
could not find them.
BENJAMIN F. Allen, former forest su-
pervisor in California. under cross-exam-
nation during the last hour of the after
noon session by Attorney Worthington of
the defense said that he had received let
ters from Hyde. but the latter had never
offered to do him any favor. nor had he
ever received any money from Hyde.
At o'clock Justice Stafford ordered an
adjournment in the case until Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.

The Pass
of :Thermopylae
ByHerbert Kaufman.

Xerxes. once led million soldiers out of
Persia in an effort to capture Greece, but his in
vasion failed utterly because Spartan general
had entrenched hundred men in narrow
mountain pass which controlled the road into
Lacedaemon The man who was first on the
ground had the advantage.
Advertising is full of opportunities for men
who are first on the ground
There are hundreds of advertising passes
waiting for some one to occupy them. The first
man who realizes that his line will be hel ped by
publicity has tremendous opportunity. Hecan
gain an advantage over his competitors that they
can never possess. Those who follow him must
spend more money to equal his returns. They
must not only invest as much to get as much
but they must as we'll spend an extra sum to
counteract the influence that he has already es-
tablished in the community.
Whatever men sell, whether it is actual
merchandise or brain vibrations, can be more
easily sold with the aid of advertising. Not one
half of the businesses which should beexploited
are appearing in the newspapers. Trade grows
as reputation grows and advertising spreads
regulations
If you are engaged in a line which is wait
ing for newspaper pioneer, realize what a
:wonderful chance you have of being the first of
your kind to appeal directly to the public. You
stand better chance of leadership than those
who have handicapped their strength by per-
uniting you to get on the ground before they
could outstrip you. You gain prestige that
chose who follow you must spend more money
ITO counteract.
E. If your particular business is similar to
some other trade or business which has already
been introduced to the reading public, it sup to
you to start in right now and join your COM
pettors in contestng for the attention of the COM
munity The longer you delay the more you
decrease your chances of surviving. Every man
who outstrips you is another opponent who must
be met and grappled with for the right of way:
