THE INDIVIDUAL SOLDIER
COUNTS

l S0ON y
Other things being equal, an army
made up of self-reliant, thinking men
las a great advantage over e merely
machine ike army. and this is espec-
isHy true in present-day warfare.
Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott. chief of
Stan. L. S. A. remarks on this sub
ject:
| The conditions under which mod
ern wars are fought are ever making.
Increasing demands on the Individual
soldier. The individual SOL
dier must know how TO interpret ac-
curately orders and signals. for the
enslny's fire may often so isolate him
from his leader and comrades. perhaps
| only a step away. that he may be
| thrown on his own initiative in max
,ing his actions conform to those of
the whole line; he may have 10 use
his own judgment in opening fire, in
advancing. in intrenching."
Fair Play.
A sound tradition of the American
army. which need only be mentioned.
is that of hghting fairly and treating
even the enemy with as much human
ity as his own conduct viii permit.
AS for siaughtering or enslaving the
civilian population of captured terri
tories, attacking prisoners or assault.
ing women. American soldiers would
as little commit such crimes in time
Of war as in time of peace. In this
respect most of the civilized nations
of the world think alike
Fighting for Rights and Principles
There is a third splendid tradition
OF the American army which you will
help TO carry forward. 1t has fought
always and everywhere in defense of
principles and rights-never merely
for territory and power. Even the
Civil war resulted from the clash of
opposing principles-the principle of
an indivisible Union upheld by the
North and that of freedom to with.
draw from the Union upheld by the
South.
| To protect the rights of citizens.
the American people have several
times opposed tyrrsnical govern
ments-the English government in
1776 and lsfe. the French government
for short period in 1898. the Mexi-
can government in 1s4s. the Spanish
government in 1898. The finai effect
in each case has been to advance the
4
out the world. even in the countries
1 against which We fought Our weap.
ons have not willingly been turned
against any peoples, but only against
led them. In lighting for our own
rights, the American army has fought
also. in President Wilson's phrase. for
the rights of mankind,
| For like high purpose the Ameri-
can people have entered into the
present war against the German GOV
ernment-a government which in our
belief misrepresents and m,sleads the
| German people, Only by so doing can
we make America and the world safe
for democracy" But one ending can
| be thought of-an ending that will
guarantee the continuance of all those
principles and rights which the Amer
ican army has in the past so nobly
| fought to establish.
Never lose sight even for an instant
of the fact that all your training.
your efforts and your sacrifices have
this one great object in view, the at.
tainment OF which is worth anything
| may cost.

LESSON 1
YOUR POST OF HONOR

You are called TO serve as soldier
n the National Army. because that is
one OF your obligations as a citizen of
the United States. The citizens of a
republic must always be ready in the
hour OF need to leave their own homes
and take up arms in defense OF their
rights and principles. Otherwise the
Republic could not long continue to
exist. The men who now enter mill
tary service deserve the gratitude and
respect of their fellow citizens.
You are doubtless making a heavy
sacrifice in order 10 perform this duty
to your country. Hundreds OF thou
sands of other young men and their
families are face TO face with similar
sacrifices. All our citizens will sooner
or later be called upon. each TO bear
his or her share OF the burden. Men
| md women, rich or poor. all alike
must do whatever is necessary and
must give up whatever is necessary
For no personal interests OF feelings
can be permitted to stand in the way
at time when the safety and honor
of the country are at stake.
AS 4 citizen soldier you are chosen
for post of special distinction Am
erica is justly proud of the soldiers
of the past who have won for us the
rights today denied and put in Sc
rious danger by the high-handed at
tacks OF the German government
America will be no less proud Of you.
as you tight 70 uphold these rights.
Your personal responsibility is
great. As warfare is today conduct
ed. the individual soldier counts for
more than ever before. Your own skin
and bravery 10 matter now humble
your rank may easily be important
factors in deciding whether an en-
Sagement is to be won OF lost You
can not depend upon anyone else to
carry this personal responsibility for
you: you must depend upon yourself.

HOLIDAY ON WATER FRONT.
New Year Day Being Observed
Along the River.

While New Year day is being gener-
ally observed by the business houses
along the river front. the observance is
not as general as it is on most national
holidays. This is due to the fact that
many of the larger lumber and wood
frrus are closing up their business for
the year and require their employees TO
be on hand part of the day. Most of
the firms who do not close for the day
gave their employees holiday in the
afternoon At the oyster and fish
wharf the dealers had their houses
open part of the day, but by noon
business was over and the houses were
