LESSON NO. 1
GETTING READY FOR CAMP

meant by the position and the bearing
of soldier. They are apt to imagine
that it means a strut or an extremely
strained attitude. Or, more frequent
ly, they think that the term can prop
erly be applied to any erect position.
The truth of the case however, is that
there is definite procedure to fol-
low in order to place yourself in what
is known in the army as "the position
of a soldier" it is the position which
the dismounted soldier always as
sumes at the command Attention." ex-
cept as 1t may be slightly modified to
enable him to carry properly any
arms he may have in his hands.
1t will be well for you to memorize
paragraph 81 Of the Infantry Drill
Regulations, which gives the complete
and accurate description of the posi-
ton of the soldier. This paragraph is
slightly paraphrased and simplified in
the description following: Keep in
mind that there are ten elements
which must be properly adjusted to
each other, and check yourself up to
see that each one of them is properly
placed.
/. Heels-on the same line and as
near each other as possible; most
men should be able to stand with
heels touching each other.

preceding Lessons: |. Your Post OF
Honor 2. Making Good as Sol
der. 3. Nine Soldierly Qualities.)
Your real training for your duties
as soldier will begin after you and
your comrades are assembled at the
training camps. However, there are
few simple things you can do during
the next few weeks which will be Of
decided value in getting you started
along the right lines.
The simplest thing, and perhaps the
most useful of ALL is to begin at once
to practice correct habits of standing
and walking. Even in civilian life a
mans reputation in his community
yes, and for that matter his own self
respects determined to surpris-
ing extent by his bearing. The man
who slouches feels like SLOUGH. The
man who holds his head up faces the
world with confidence and courage.
II this Is true in civilian life, it Is
ten times more true in military life.
For soldier must always be strongly
marked by his snap, his precision, and
his vigor. He can not have these
traits unless he carries himself like a
soldier.
The Bearing Of a Soldier

Ing have correct idea of what is

especially to the officers of the Wood

this one day for "Oldn Woodstock fair

favorable it would have indeed been a
disappointment to the officials, the

was fine, as already stated, so what's
the use of getting nervous at this late
hour over what might have been.
OF course Thursday was entry day.

Greater Bridgeport
 Directory Is Being a~/ Planned For 1918

A greater Bridgeport directory to begin with the 1918 issue and to in clude under the general city heading all residents of Fairfield and Strat- ford, is being considered by the Price & Lee Co.,, publishers. The plan is to include the names of the residents of the suburban centers with those of Bridgeporters, and to affix the name of the town in which they live, and their addresses to their names. Thus among residents of Bridgeport proper may appear the name of John Doe, Main treet, Fairfield" and like listing for Stratford people, following the rule of the telephone directory when sub scribers living in those places, are list ed with the Bridgeport exchange pa irons.
 The plan is expected to help every one concerned and particularly strang- CTS. Many people believe that Fair field and Stratford are simply out1y- ing districts of Bridgeport and failing to find someone living in either place in the general Bridgeport directory forget to look at the appendix which gives the names.
 The 1917 directory is practically ready for issue and shows besides an increase in population that is marked many changes and new residents.

New York, July 17.-Although the Un1ted States circuit court of appeals some weeks since rendered an opinion granting on every point submitted the injunction sought by the Associated Press to restrain the International News Service from pirating news be- longing to the former organization, the entering of the order has been postponed by the attempts of the de- rendant organization through their counsel, Samuel Untermyer, to obtain stay, first from the circuit court of appeals second from the district court; and third from a justice of the supreme court of the United States All three requests having been refus- ed, the order has been entered by di- rection of Judge Augustus N. Hand of the United States district court of the southern district of New York, re- straining the International News Ser vice from three practices:

 (b) From inducing or procuring, directly or indirectly, any of com p1ainant's members or any of the newspapers represented by them, to violate any of the agreements fixed by the charter and bylaws of the complainant.
