Boys Become Scarce.

For the first time in more than 20
years the Children's Aid society of
New York is unable To furnish enough
boys to families who want either to
adopt them or care for them until the
boys become of age. The reason for
this is the campaign for military pre-
parpdneSs ana the great demand for
workers in war munition factories.
Almost every day letters come to
the society headquarters asking for
boys who have been trained ut its farm
school.
Last month II of the Society's boys,
sixteen To tWenty-one years old. en-
listed in the army and navy service

the development of the Self-propelleu
truck. The forage for animals and
the hundreds of thousands of gallons
of water required for their drink is
in itself Il large item of the camp
budget.
Conditions have changed much since
the Spanish-American war, when the
laying of camps and the proper SAM
tation and drainage were often matt
tiers more of theory than of practice.
The heavy mortality among American
soldiers in the Spanish-American war,
many of whom never got beyond the
boundaries of their own country,
brought home a lesson in hygiene
never TO be forgotten. Spanish bull
lets killed only few; typhoid slew
hosts.
Every soldier who goes into camp
these days must be inoculnted against
typhoid. The rockies undergo the
treatment cheerfully and every guards
man recognizes its value.
SO much for cxternuls, having to do
with the welfare of the citizen sol
diers The fact that they are to be
we'll cared for during their period OF
training is an important factor in their
efficiency. The greatest benefit TO
them. however, IS the feeling that
throughout the country the business
community and the employer general
ly have come to realize more ana
more the Importance of having a clti-
Zenry trained to arms.

themselves have freely left their work
to enroll under the national banner.

their chances of promotion nor their
vacations by SO doing. When the or

ficiency Drawn From European
War Are Not Unheeded.

WaShingtOn.-The call to the colors
drew men from the filing case to the
dog tent; from the card index life 70
living in the open. The mobilization
was on. The troop trains moved: the
streets were filed with marching reyi-
ments; the rumble Of caissons WIS
heard In the city parks; and horsemen
ciattered in orderly rows while guild
onS dropped in summer rain. The
tocsin Of the telephone had tinkled in
the heart of the skyscraper; the tele-
graph had brought citizen soldiery
back from its journeys, from its busi-
ness concerns, even frcm wedding
trips. for General Funston had wired
for militia to patrol the Rio Grande
This Is no repeat of fateful Au-
gust nearly two years ago in lands
across the seas. but the story of June
1916, when preparedness became ac-
ton and the military camps were peo-
pied overnight by hosts in khaki and
olive drab. The Plattsburg idea was
translated into fact and the rocky
trade Is war.
Infantry, artillery. cavalry emerged
from the offices and the stores. The
grim armOrieS which in ordinary days
seem like deserted Norman strong
holds having nothing In common with
their surroundings became centers of
II new and vital interest, where thou
sands of armed men were being gath
cred in efficient readiness. How 1t all
brought back those days of the Span
ish-Anerican war when the cry to Re
member the Maine stirred Il patriot
people and men scented battle on land
and sea!
Ways of War Changed.
They assembled to arm. not know
ing ut what time war might be de-
clared upon Mexico and as eager to
do their duty as they were against
the forces Of old Spain.
The ways of war have greatly
changed since this country last gave
ear to martial strains. SO 1t hap
pened that every soldier, every ac-
co Ltrement, every wagon or piece Of
artillery which passed through city or
village streets or even along the broad
highway was weighed and balanced in
the scale Of efficiency. These are days
when every man and every woman is
a student of the game of Mars.
The newspapers and the magazines
have presented thousands of pictures
Of maneuvers and battles and incl
dents from the great theaters Of the
eastern and the western fronts in Eu
rope. War has shown its horrors in
the moving-picture shows. and even
actual battles have found their way
to the screen. Military critics are
everywhere.
Martial Ideal Aroused.
The SpanishAmerican war came
with n rush; the mobilization Of this
June was the close of months Of study
of when and how and where. The
martial ideal of people was seen in
the massing of troops. the moving Of
trains, the mastering of industrial re-
sources. Everywhere men sprang to
their new job Of soldering eager and
alert. The veterans Of the National
Guard were the first recruits to re-
spond, for after serving for seven
years in days Of peace many were
glad enough to pursue the hope of ac-
tive service.
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1916-08-26
