Gen. Leonard Wood believes that six
months OF military training under
high pressure is sufficient to make a
good soldier of the American boy.
Gen. Hugh Scott insists that year is
necessary. In the light OF their per-
sonal experience. military authorities
hold widely divergent opinions. OIL
GERS OF the regular army usually re-
gard eighteen months or two years as
the time required to bring the aver
age recruit up TO the standards OF the
service, but the methods OF instruc-
ton there are leisurely and far from
exacting. Camps like Plattsburg
work at top speed for thirty days with
picked bodies OF men.
Napoleon's saying that he could
make a soldier in three months ap-
piled to conditions wholly different
from those that exist today. No
French General would have cared to
face the highly trained troops with
which Germany entered the war with
a green army levied to meet the emer-
gency. From necessity, not from
choice, under the sudden strain of
war, Great Britain sent to trenches
volunteers who had Joined the colors
barely six months before. 1t had lit
tie else to offer for the assistance of
It's allies in Flanders and France, and
"Kitchener's First Hundred Thou
sand" fresh from the warehouses and
railroads and schools, received their
real training under fire. Every ma
ton in Europe In greater or less de-
gree, through the need OF defending
the extended battle-fronts, has been
compelled to fill the gaps in it's armies
with soldiers whose training covered
only a few months.
Under the changed methods of war
fare that Europe has witnessed during
the past two years, the training of
soldiers presents new problems to
which our army officers will be OBJ
liged to adapt their ideas. Whether
or not six months will suffice for the
making of a soldier, the predicament
of Great Britain must suggest the
graver question of how to make Off

His ability cannot be attributed to
mental telepathy, for in many instan-

them up. you find are right.
Although not customary to teach
children the months and authorizations

Pride

There is a kind of pride that leads
a man to put on airs and imagine him
self superior to others. Perhaps it is
a matter of a little more wealth or
that he thinks himself handsomer, or
better dressed, or the smarter" man.
Perhaps his wealth is among those alb
sent, but he wants to live in such a
style that others will believe in it's
existence. Sometimes one assumes to
know more than his neighbors and ac-
quaintances, to be gifted" in some
way with more Importance than is
really his. His pride doesn't go far
enough to make him try to be what he
wants TO seem. One perhaps tax s
pride in being thought philanthro-
pist and gives when the report will be
sounded abroad to his credit. though
he is too mean to pay his servants
fairly and is willing to gain by any
method that will not be found out.
Pridei ancestry is a good thing II
it leads n man to live worthy of such
ancestry. But it is to his disgrace
when he depends on the reputation Of
his forefathers instead Of emulating
their deeds and characters.
a pride to be commended is the
pride of being honest in Gods sight as
well as i'm the sight of men. To be
true. to do the good he can, not count
ing return 0r weighing gratitude
against giving, to be the best and do
the best that is i'm him, to scorn do
ing O mean dishouorable thing no
man should be above such pride. BE

As 10 SUNDAY paDers

With the cost of newsprint going
higher all the time and publishers in
all parts of the country facing SER
ious problem, is it not possible that
some adjustment might be made on
the Sunday editions of many news
papers in the interest of saving white
paper?
The average metropolitan papers
Sunday edition contains many pages
that could be left out with any serious
consequences.
Page after page of Sunday news
papers are devoted to what in news
paper language is called "plugger"
and special feature" dope. This is
all very well, perhaps, in normal times
and under normal conditions, but Just
now much of IL could be dispensed
with for the sake of saving the pre-
cious paper on which it is printed.
A Sunday paper devoted to news. A
Sunday paper much after the fashion
or the weekday editions, with the ex-
ception of comic section and one or
two feature pages. Why not?
Much of the material in the aver
age Sunday paper is never read-at
least very small number of the sub
scribers read it. In fact, there is
much of it that no person, save one
stranded on an island with no hope
of ever getting anything else to read,
would condescend to look at.
In our judgment a great good would
be accomplished through the curtail-
ment of the gigantic Sunday papers in
the larger cities.-Fairmon Times.
