MAKING A SOLDIER.

(From the Chicago Evening Post)
 Some surprise has been expressed in places ot the length Of time which Lord Kitchener has said it takes to- prepare a recruit for the service. The idea seems to prevail generally that young man ought to be drilled sufa- ciently and taught how to shoot accu- rately enough to enable him to so to the firing line in about two monthg there to keep his head and his heart Lord Fitchenor and the generals of the French and German stahs also, doubtless will say that much more is to be done with recruits than to teach them to wheel by foursi by platoons and companies, to march 8 few miles and to shoot fairly straight.
 Even the athlete has to bo trained for army service The fatigue incl dent to long marches and uncertain hours Of sleep and of food play havoc. The recruit has to be "built up" to the peculiar duties which are ahead Of him. It is one thing to be able to run 9 hundred yards in ten seconds and to recuperate rapidly from the effort and it is entirely another thing to stand the constant strain of campaign ing under awful weather conditions, under night alarms and under war's hard conditions generally
