tor. In 11Se Prussia, then the only
country In Europe In which practically
every man was or had been q solder,
was able to put In the field nearly 100
per osnt Of the nations military power.
On the other hand, In Russia, Austria
and France soldering was then a pro-
fsssional matter. The rank and nle Of
the troops were mercenaries. Not 10
per cent OF the potential military power
Of the allies was brought against Fred
erick. On the various battlefields
Frederick was abls to present armies
not much inferior to those of his enc
fnies.
Similarly, In 1898. because the doc
trtnes Of the revolution had trans
formed serfs into mon, the govern
msnt at Paris was able to put afoot
almost 40 many soldiers as the allies
could recruit. The French armies Of
the last decade Of the eighteenth cen-
tury represented all the French people,
and when one man fell two were ready
to step into his place.
Now, in an age more military than
any since Roman struggled against

G0LFING HINTS.
By ~sTRAIGHT DRIv~

THE IMPOSSIBLE GOLFER
In nearly every golf club in the
land there are . few absolutely
hopeless duffers who for one rea-
son or another never grow out Of
the 100 or worse class. I know Of
many such. and 1t 10 strange that
few Of them have SUFFICIENT ambi.
ton to emerge from the cloud
under which they labor.
1t always strikes me that any
man not physically disabled who
cannot make steady progress to-
ward proficiency must be ded-
cient in some Of the elements
that 60 to make for success in
other phases OF activity. Golf
reflects human traits probably
better than any other test that
could be devised.
When l see q man of wealth
who 10 not ambitious to improve
his game always feel that his
wealth was wished on him. stolen
or won by other brains than his
own. There 10 no royal road to
success at golf.
The most impossible player can
improve II he will go to the pro.
fessional and carry out the in
structions received during the
lessons. The trouble in many
cases is that the impossible play
er thinks he knows something
about the game.
