Something in the inspectors steady

"Tom,' he explained, that wasn't a

a woman in England found that
her cook was feeding two brothers.
ON inquiry she found that they
were reservists who did not go
back to France They had been ex-
PEELED In consequence from the
walters union and could get nothing

Savoy, wrote that she was going to
move over into Italy, as she could
no longer bear the reproaches of her
~neighbors at the disgrace of her
family. ,
The other Englishman referred t.

at Berlin; only the determination OF
oach one to do mis- or her part, eN-
pressed with a simplicity and convic-
ton that makes a very direct appeal.
1T is rare to see a man taking any
part in the business life of Nancy,
which seems to be carried on alto

this direction greatly impressed me-.
nor did their health and temper seem
to be impaired by long hours. and
often arduous work. and Nancy is, of
course, no exception.
"Bach woman had a husband, son or
lover at the war; Zach had her tale OF
sadness, but they never complained
nor RECALLED one with horrors, and they
always ended their story with a note
of hope and courage, which made a
pathetic appeal,

I noted how they rose to meet It, made
me feel that a nation which leaves it's
honor to men and women inspired by
ideals. so simple and yet so supremacy
grand, can lead to but one ultimate
end-that Of victory, not limited to
repelling the enemy or to the ac-
QUESTION Of territory, but that greater
victory whereby the soul Of a people

the French people, notably of the
women. They indulge in no express
sions Of hate. Var Is cruel, and they
are braced for 1t. Sorrow and sacri-
flee are their portion and they ac-

The testimony of a couple Of Eng

Irene Beresford Hope, writing in the
saturday RerJeic. says: War is cruel,
The French women expect death for
their men and suffering for them
selves. Yet they have no personal
bitterness. They do not kill the
Kaiser with their mouths. They

She illustrates this by the story OF

Finally, when the students ave

food-they have to pack their march,

Day by day the load carried in
their packs Is increased until the
young men are able to carry without
stress the full service outfit. Now
they are ready for a six day hike and
during this period they put their va

s~elf-control.
"Of course a man Is not a finished
soldier unless he a shoot well. Only
hits count. Last year the students at
the Burlington camp were taken TO the
rifle range at Fort Ethan Allen and
put through a carefully planned course
of range firing at known distances.
They practised with the service rifle
and ammunition at a target having an
eight inch bullseye. firing from 200
and 800 yards. A twenty inch bulls

yards.

There is no favoritism or any
chance for students from a particular
educational institution forming cliques.
The boys are assigned to their tents
just as they arrive, and this iptermix-
ing stimulates general comradeship.
The novices are put in the ranks OF
the camp companies alongside of stu
dents who have already had one sum
mer's experience, and this Is helpful,
because the trained man gladly lends
his aid to the newcomer.
From the instant the students re-
port they are subjected to camp dis
cipline and routine rules. This does
not mean that there Is anything irk-
some about the programme for each
day. The training Is essentially prac-
tical, and our one object is to insure
proficiency on the battle field or dur

we purposely omit needless formality,

THE total number Of the students
who fired the course was 321, and Of
these 22 won the rating of expert rifle
