PARIS. Aug. 3.-(By MaiD--
Northern France accuses Southern
France of lacking courage, of pos
sessing a yellow streak Of talking a
whole lot and doing little in the way
of slaughtering Germans.
Since the very commencement Of
the war stories have been going the
rounds concerning the behavior of
certain regiments. said regiments be-
ing recruits in the Midi-Southern
France. Boiled down, these stories
have Il that these regiments turned
and fed in disorder Immediately they
found themselves under FIRE; that
this happened more than once but
that the guilty regiments had been
badly punished
Is it true that Frenchmen from
Southern France make bad soldiers
To the neutral observer this would
not appear true, for four OF Frances
greatest generals hail from that cor
ner of the country These are Cen
eral Joffre. General Gallieni, General
Fech and General Castelnau.
Between Northern and Southern
France there has always been a feud
not unlike that which eXists-or did
exist--hetween the North and the
South in the United States. So far
as outsiders are concerned. France
Is France without distinctions as Il
the particular part of the country
one claims as home. But amonl
themselves the Northerner lookl
down on the southerner and vice
versa: both claim 10 be the real an'
true French, both the speakers OF th'
purest language; both claim chivalr,
as their own particular birthrighf
and so on up and down the line.
I asked a highly educated soldier
belonging to one Of the regiments
which are said 10 have distinguished
themselves by bad morale" under
FIRE. what was in the story. He re-
piled:
1--WE are blamed for what has hap
nened in every war since wars began
we ran but we only did what the besi
soldiers in the world have done and
would have done again under similal
circumstances.
''The war broke out suddenly Al
most without a warning we were
hustled out Of offices, from behinC
counters. from desks and studies int
uniforms and rushed into trains
Our trains went directly upon th'
battlefield and we were detraine'
actually under heavy fire. We die

Nearly every boy find difficulty with
at least one OF his studies. This may
be due to a variety Of causes-such as
defective early training, lack Of mental
concentration, poor memory. laxiness or
similar falling. Whatever the
cause may be. the case almost always
calls for special treatment. There are
three distinct ways In which this school
attempts to overcome these difficulties.
First. small classes are maintained and
lessons are prepared under careful SUI
pervision secondly. those students who
stand lower than u in any subject re-
port from . to :4s In the afternoon for
a special study period third, there In
one period during the day when no class
instruction is given In the upper school.
Each master 10 at his time ready to
give personal aid and direction to those
who seek IL. On the other hand. each
teacher inds II possible to call before
him for special instruction any back
ward student. and hus the general pro-
gress Of all classes Is greatly facilitated.
Some boys are naturally neat. and
other boys acquire neatness through
careful training. II cleanliness be next
to godliness then our inspections at meal
formations are certainly IN aid to godli-
ness. The boys are formally assem-
bled In military formation-heads erect,
shoulders back-and a careful inspec-
ton Is made of hands. nails. ears. linen,

goes for a clean collar or to the wash

dixious worker each yoar he serves al
least $4,000 patients. While he 10 IN
America he will take a special course
at Johns Hopkins in order to learn the
very latest methods Of his profession
Mercersburg boys each year raise over
$1,000 for this foreign work. In adui-
ton TO supporting Or. Adams his money
Ia used to educate six Chinese boys IN
a school at Yochow.
Among the recent additions TO the
equipment OF the academy is the new
athletic field for the use OF the second
and third football and baseball teams
This field, some four acres In extent 10
Immediately adjacent 10 the academ!s
new gymnasium. n building which Is
acknowledged to be the finest OF is
kind in America.
The new playing field was built at
considerable cost. for on one SIDE a
| long deep cut had to be made into q
rocky slope. while on the other side
much filling was necessary. 1t Is es-
tlmated that almost sufficient high grade
rock was removed in excavating 10 pay
/ for the construction of the field. The
, front OF the hill which has been cut
away has been beautifully terraced, ana
! this heavily turfed slope Will FURNISH
! permanent bleacher seats for all those
who watch the Mercersburg boys at
their daily practice and at their games
For many years Mercersburg has
been developing her fine athletic teams
by a system Of gradual training. Boys
who are on a third or fourth team one
year will work their way up 20 the nrst
, team. This method Affords every boy a
chance to develop himself In compet
ton that Is suited to his age ana MS
ability. 1t 10 expected that this new
field will not only advance the enviabie
records OF Mercersburg but will serve
to increase the physical efficiency OF
the entire student body,
The beautiful hymn OF the academy
Jesus, l Live to Thee has been trans
lated into Spanish by Bishop Cabrera
Bishop OF Portugal and Spain In the

say that the translation has real III
erary merit. In previous vars TINS
HYMN was translated into French and
German, and a friend Of the academy
during the last few months has sent
many copies OF II to men upon the mr.
ing line in France. The hymn Itself
was written more than sixty years age
