SOLDIERS AND WILL POWER
Proof Of At Least One BENEFIT That
Comes ~ the Result Of MIL
tary Training.

That military training strengthens
the power of the will was shown BY
recent experiments in Austria. To
determine what effect the fatigue re-
sulting from a long march might have
upon the shooting efficiency Of trained
soldiers, the Austrian school of mus
kerry recently had a cyclist detach-
ment of so men. all over two years
service, do IS miles In eight hours, the
return journey being against strong
head wind. Before and after the march
they each fired ten rounds at tar
get representing a section OF 26 men
in skirmishing order lying down at
500 PAGES. Before the march the de-
tachment made 40 hits on 10 figures:
after the march, 3S hits on Is figures.
The experiment was then repeated
with section Of AZ noncommissioned
officers, before and after 23 hours
exercise In the field, during which 80
miles were covered. This section, con-
sisting principally of marksmen, made
81 hits on 81 out of 26 figures before
starting and 62 hits on 20 figures after
their return.
But the raw recruit, when subjected
to similar test of endurance, fails
to hit the target at all. He is inca
pable of the effort of will. and firm re-
solve to hit which renders the trained
soldier formidable antagonist, even
when his strength is exhausted by
hunger and fatigue.
