SIKH THE FlERCEST SOLDIER
East Indian Trooper Has a Face Cal
culated to Strike Terror to the
Enemy on Sight.

Philadelphia.-Did you ever see a
Sikh in uniform? No? Whatever of
ferceness your childhood fancy paint
ed upon the face of a soldier, the Sikh
has 1t. Other soldiers may be as
brave, or may fight more tenaciously,
or die more willingly, but for simple
herceness of personal appearance all
medals go to the Sikh.
He is so fierce to look at that | won

him without fear. You have read how
trainloads Of these East Indian troops
are hurrying across Canada to show
their fierce faces to the Germans
Does not Caesar relate that the Ro.
man soldiers were frightened by the
terrible looks OF the early German
tribes? Now the boot goes upon the
other foot
A Sikh-and I've seen many regi-
ments of them on their native heath
is tall man with black hair and a
long black beard. The beard is what
makes him look so fierce, because he
plaits it into two thick braids and
draws these back OF his ears. where
they are tied.
If you think that doesn't make a
soldier look fierce. you make a sad
error, which one glance at him would
correct
The Sikhs are Hindus, and so strict
are their religious beliefs that all the
food they eat must be especially pre-.
pared according to their own rites.
