CURIOUS FEARS OF SOLDIERS
One breads That His Charcoal BHrner
Will Be. Destroyed Although In
different as to Himself.

It is extraordinary What curious
fears some soldiers have. One fighter
always breads that his charcoal ire
will be destroyed by shell. He al
ways places the burner in the most
protected part of the trench, but re-
mains quite Indifferent in regard to
his own personal safety.
Another extraordinary fear Of SOL
der at the front is that Of having
his bootlaces united. Nothing else has
terrors for him, from bayonet fighting
to asphyxiating gases. But he is
quite certain that if his bootlaces are
loose he will trip over them and break
his neck. He always examines his Ia
ces to see if they are properly fas-
tened. Another soldier who has been
through the thick of the fighting Is
terribly frightened of q through
a wood, and would re VIZ TX miles
around it than half a re ough it.
He has the fear that So. ay tree
will suddenly fall and crush him.
Many soldiers have horror of los
ing their identity disks, or of being
unidentified if they are killed, and bur
led in nameles grave. One man ds
known to carry little scraps of paper
in every pocket, giving his name and
regiment, so that his body may he rec
ognized if he is killed.

sGO-GETTER, PERSHING.

The name, "Go-Getter" Pershing,
according to a writer in The Satur-
day Evening Post, suits Gen. Perish
ing better than any other. When he
steps into his car he says to the
driver: Lets go where we're gong"
And there is a swirling cloud of dust.
What he thinks of the American SOL
dier is summed up in portion OF his
address in Ell Paso:
"He is the best fighting man On
earth. He will march all day, dig all
night and sing at his work if he
thinks his officers are doing the same
thing. But If he makes a forced
march with fun kit and sees some
empty trucks passing, he can see no
reason why he should not toss his
pack into a truck. And I don't blame
him a bit"
Pershing is fine figure of man
tall. straight and clean-cut. There
is not an ouce of superfiuous weight
in his six feet of dynamic body. He
walks with the easy swing of youth.

gray. Were he twenty years younger
the girls would say he had a head
like a Greek god. for his features
