said the society was now well established

that they should make their society a

Army Regulations Are Being Modified

long as young soldiers were sent tc
jail and herded with criminals for
trivial offenses, they believe, the army
would continue to be Stunned by a
large class of desirable men who
would otherwise be inclined to enter
the service.
One of the first reforms to be in.
augurated was that of the sentences
administered for slight infractions OF
army law. The most common of these
offenses now, as it has been for many
generations, Is desertion, and most
of the assertions are unintentional.
Upon conviction the cuIprits are
sentenced to three to six months ir
a military prison. not because their
offense merited such punishment, but
because the ancient regulations had il
that way.
Under the new system the punish
ment for mild cases OF desertion is
merely a deprivation Of leave, extra

Avoid Disputation,

The disputatious person never makes
a good friend. In friendship, men
look for peace and concord and some
measure of content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street,
enough disputing in the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for CO..
tention In the realm of the inner life
also. There, if anywhere, we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
OF the sanctuary should brood over it.
Its chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded.-Hugh
