FIX YOUR IDEAS.

The environments are primar-
ily schools for soldiers. They
also are-and this in. the end
may prove more important still
to the country-clearing houses
for ideas. Men from every con-
dition of life, walk and talk and
bunk together. The musician
and the blacksmith, the lawyer
and the carpenter, the farmer
boy and the city bred man, the
luxurious young aristocrat and
the heir of poverty meet here as
equals.
Confronted with the sternest
of realities, face to face with the
infinite, they forget the petty
distinctions of business and So
cial life and see each other as
brothers.
To those in the camps with
ideas and ideals this is time
of remarkable opportunity. Here
is presented the rare pr1Vliegg
of impressing upon others
whose minds are fallow and
whose souls are stirred, the Wis.,
ions of the new era that is be-
ginning to dawn upon a dark-
ened and saddened world.

will he talk of retributive Justice
or economic facts following the
war. AS to the former, he merely
says that the German was taught
that way. AS to the latter when
the German is properly beaten
the world will need him for other
and better uses than he is now
engaged in.
When that part Of the world
behind the allied fighters gets the
same spirit as the fighters the
calm announcement of the young
Frenchman will be confirmed.

SOLDIERS INSURANCE BILL

The soldiers insurance bill is
an attempt to substitute for the
loose, extravagant and often ur.
Just pension system scientific
plan. of insurance.
In the first place it not only
respects the soldier, but enables
him to maintain his own self-re>
spect by giving him an opportu-
nifty to help support the plan with
his own financial contribution. Il
thus does away with the stigma
which is now inevitably connected
with the words bounty" and
pension" in the minds of all self
respecting Americans.
It is practically compulsory.
That there has been almost no
criticism of this feature of the bill
lis striking indication of how
rapidly under war conditions the
American mind has adapted itself
to the thought of the nationaliza-
ton of what have heretofore been
regarded as wholly private and
individual activities.

THANKSGIVING FOR SOLDIERS.

Preparations to entertain sol
diers for dinner on Thanksgiv-
ing day are being made by fam
lilies in Baltimore, Washington
and other places conveniently To-
Gated to Camp Meade.
Inspired by generous and patri-
otto motives, thousands of fami-
lies have made requests to be al
lowed to have with them on that
day one or more of the soldier
boys.
s To the men in camp whose
homes are too far away to al
low them to return on that
day the hospitality of these fam
lilies will be an inspiration. They
will be cheered, knowing that the
folks not at the military camps
are interested in them, are watch
ing and encouraging them.
Just how the camp authorities
will assign soldiers to the vari-
GUS homes is immaterial. We
know that this will be done by
the best method possible. We do
know, according to present re-
ports, that the number of families
willing to serve their country in
this way will be large enough to
provide for many "Sammies."

This week sees the full quota

sand civilian soldiers.
The new men at first will be a
little i.omesick; the sudden change
from home life to camp life will
prove somewhat disconcerting

We of the Y. M. c. A. extend the
welcome of loving fellowship to
the new arrivals. We want to be
friends. We want them to call
and become one of us, and we
promise series of the most de-
lighfful entertainments and inter-
esting and instructive services.
And, above all, we want to i'm
press upon our new brothers the
fact that the soldiers of Camp
Meade are the cleanest, manifest,
most intelligent lot of men in the
United States of America.

GEN. KUHN.


Gen. Kuhn may soon leave
here. No official announcement
has been made, and in these war
days none is expected. It will
not surprise many who have been
meeting Gen. Kuhn daily to learn
that some day he cannot be seen.
His departure will leave a great
big void.
His choice as chief of staff is
now regarded as not only GER
tainty, but as something immi-
nent.
Officers and men of the 10Th Di-
vision have learned already to
love the man on Tower Hill. He
has made an impression upon
them that they will never forget.
There is a modesty about Gen.
Kuhn that shows itself in many
ways. He never strikes any of
the heroic attitudes of great gem
erals as perpetuated in stone and
bronze. He is by no means a
snowy person His interest in the
small things here is as great as in
the big military problems that
bring Gen. Bliss and Mr.. Baker
here so often. When the negro
selected men began to arrive Gen.

WOUND STOPS SHELL SHOCK
Only the Unwounded Suffer From Its
Effects, According to London
Doctor.

A shell explodes in the vicinity of
soldier. He is unwOunded, but viO-
lently shaken, perhaps knocked over
or buried. He loses his senses for q
varying period and his nervous sys-
TEN, having suffered a violent shaking,
is no longer what it was. He starts
at the least sound, he cannot sleep, he
has pains in the head and his hands
are slightly tremulous; all, except the
last, symptoms that depend on the
word of the patient and not on the
observation of the doctor. Now, there
is one remarkable fact to be noted
about all these cases, according to a
physicians letter in a London paper.
These men are unwOunded. No case of
"shell shock" is ever found to occur
in a soldier who has a wound, no mat
ter how trivial. 1t seems as if the
rending of the flesh by a bullet or a
fragment of shrapnel acts as a sort
of safety valve, localizing in the injury
the destructive force that otherwise is
spent on the nervous system.

stranger to me, If she had anyone

noble and heroic woman (whO was
evidently unaware that she was CIV
ing expression to the spirit of Scot
land springing up eternally through
the centuries) was:
"Three sons have 1 given to the
wars. Two have been killed, one at
LOos and one later. The third is safe
as yet, though he is in France. Sorely
I grieved when heard, but 1 do not
grudge them. If 1 had ten sons ]

NEW WAR VESSEL UNCANNY
John Hays Hammond, Jr., Operates
Coast Defense Boat by
Wireless.

The most uncanny vessel af1Oat in
American waters is anchored in the
cove at West Gloucester, Mass. The
only craft to be seen, it is the new
cOast-defense boat invented by John
Hays Hammond, Jr. You feel that it
is uncanny when you look at it aflOat
in the little harbOr and realize that
without a soul on board it can never
theless be directed in any direction,
and when it is in line with an enemy
ship it can fire a brOadside as effec-
lively as a big man-Of-war with full
crew and complement of trained gun
ners.
The wireless is the explanation.
From the coast Mr.. Hammond can
start the motor on the boat, set the
steering gear as he likes, and then
train the guns on any desired target.
1t is just another of the marvels which
modern warfare has brought into be-
ing.
AS to it's practicability, the inventor
is modest but positive.
''Its all right for cOast-defense work, !"
he says, "and it is comparatively so
simple that one a week can be turned
out by a shipbuilder without difficulty.
In the event of a big order, the parts
could be standardized and made in
wholesale lots, so that the output
could be greatly increased"
OF course Hr. Hammond is not tell
ing the details of this new invention,
but the boat is ready for service, and
from the window of his laboratory in
West Gloucester the inventor can look
out on the little h9rbOr and keep an
eye on his new craft, which may play
part in the world war if the United
States becomes involved in it.

WHERE PEACE IS ENDURING
For More Than Century Uncle Sam
and Canada Have Been
Good Friends.

Before me lies q letter from Mont
real, and the most interesting thing
about it is the cancellation stamp of
the Canadian government, "Girard"
writes in the Philadelphia Ledger.
Upon the wide field of the British
flag is printed in body type this re-
minder: Help to win the war. Buy
war savings certificates"
Canada is helping to win the war
not only with her dollars but with her
men. Half a million have already en-
listed, and that is like Pennsylvania
sending an equally large army to the
front, the population of Canada being
not quite so large as that of our state.
CuriOusly enough, most Americans
know much less about the government
of Canada than of England, France,
Russia or Germany.
We forget that July 1 is Canada's
Fourth of July, and that the dominion
came into being just fifty years ago.
We forget that instead Of thirteen
colonies, as we had, Canada had but
four provinces.
We have had states and territories,
but Canada has provinces and dis
tricts. There are now nine of the for
mer and five of the latter.
Ours is a republic, but Canada is a
dominion.
When Benedict ArnOld's little army
of about eleven hundred men, which
had marched. starved and frozen,
through the wilderness of Maine, at
tackled Quebec at the outbreak of the
Revolution, Canada's population was
less than that of West Philadelphia.
For 102 years the United States and
Canada have not had gun, soldier,
warship or fort to guard the 1000
mile boundary line which divides them

after. He prepared two cartridges
this way with the greatest care.
The men rapidly but carefully cut
slits in the covering of the cartridges.
and lowered four cartridges down each
hole. forcing them gently into place
with the butt ends of the tripod stakes
and compressing them so that they
filled the holes completely. Then
Meade placed his two prepared sticks
with the detonators on top of the other
four. He cut the fuse to the proper
length in each case, and, keeping it
