THE YOUNG HERO

When the ClVll war began, ana Jne
president called for volunteers, a
boy of fifteen years joined the army.
He was large for his age and because
boys no larger than he but years old
er than he enlisted he decided he
would join the ranks. He was sent to
the front almost Immediately after
his enlistment. The long tramps
taken daily he was not accustomed
to and he began to be weary of heart
and body. But had he not pledged
his support to his country; had he
not put his hand to the pillow? Yes,
and he must not stop until he came
to the end of the furrow. He was a
strong-hearted American boy, but the
long marches and battles made him
nervous. He had no training in
fighting and he had to learn as he
went. This made the trials and hard
ships more strenuous for him. Later
he became victim of the fever which
so many of the soldiers of the Rev.
olution were subject to. After ling
ering two months and fighting the
disease, he died.
This shows that unframed, imma-
ture boys are often handicapped in
regard to the hardships of war. 1t is
alright for men who are old enough to
stand the strain to enlist, but for
mere boys to join the ranks is a
thing to be objected to seriously.
What does it profit man to gain
the honors of his school and loss his
own health?
A great deal of care should be ex-
ercised in keeping in good condition
Not only is this true of track men
but of every student in school, 1t is
necessary for athletes to keep well
it is essential that they train accord
ing to the rules laid down by Their
coach. If you have cold be care
full that it does not become more
severe. We know of an instance
where a boy was hindered seriously
because of a cold. II you have {
wound which seems trivial, care fol
it, because it might become serious
It may be light case of measles mex

Nine schools have been invited t
take part in the Panhandle Tracl
and Field meet to be held in Liberia
Friday, May a. This always is bis
event in the track world. Schools
train strenously for this affair. Guy
mon took the trophy last year, bu
there are number of schools that arr
going to put hard fight to have thu
cup change places for a time. Lib
eral is a fine place for the meet t
be held and efforts are being made
to entertain large delegations from
the various schools entering.
A party of ten Freshman have
planned a kodaking party to be hat
soon. School will soon be out anC
those good outings will be no more
for a few of the students who live il

Amsterdam, Holland, Dee. 1.-THE
Echo Beige. a Belgian newspaper

Of a protest recently addressed 10 the
German governor general in Belgium
in which Belgian senator's and depu-
ties or Brussels point out that in addi-
ton TO the S6O.0OO.000 francs monthly
war levy by Germany. the Belgian
budget is charged with items totauing

ways and public works and $1,000.
600 francs for the cost OF adminstra
tion and separation. which the coun-
try does not desire.
The protest contends that the item
should fall on the German levy al
ready referred TO. The signatorIes
assert their protest is justified iu
view OF the fact that the Germans not
