WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 15.-
The need for something to fill in the
soldiers time after their days routine
has been met by national movement
just started in Washington to provide
libraries for every cantonment and
soldiers camp in the United States
and perhaps even for the American
troops in France.
The idea originated with the Com
mission on Training Camp Activities,
appointed by President Wilson. His
commission has found that even with
the rigorous pace which the men in
training are put through, they have
some time which hangs heavily on
their hands. To meet this condition,
Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the
commission on training camp actiyi.
ties, suggested that central libraries
be established for the soldiers comps
and environments.
The Secretary of War, whose adj
vice was asked, responded by appoint.
ing ten nationally known men and
women to constitute a Library War
Council to assist in providing soldiers
with libraries. Frank A. Vanderlip,

The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.

With never care at all,
But this country called him man-siZe,
And the Kid has heard the CALL
He paused to watch the recruiting
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory,
And thought that it whispered:

In truly martial style. .#.. j.. /
But now he's man, a soldier, !
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.

Yet blest with motller-pride. 4

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. H.
More officers are urgently needed fol

the various training camps, are De

War Department is now confronted
according to information obtained to

Estimates made by the general staff
from reports received from General
Pershing, show that about 20 per cent
of the training camp and "Plattsburg
graduates are efficient enough to
stand the test of the coming campaign
in France; 80 per cent of these men
now in France will be sent back to the
United States and their places filled
with others.
Of the training camp officers with
the National Army in this country, the
general staff believes that about %
per cent are inefficient. A large per.
centage of the National Guard officers
are not worth keeping.
Many Fall Down
Responsibility of leadership in the
cantonment training has caused many
training comp officers and National
Guard officers to go to pieces and
demonstrate conclusively that they
cannot stand the stress of Army life.
At one camp recently an officer com
mitted suicide under the pressure of
his duties and this had bad effect
on other officers who were straining
every nerve to hold their places.
All incompetents are to be ruthless.
ly "scrapped" and the process has al
ready begun This is shown in the
daily army orders in which are now
appearing the names of many officers
who are ''honorably discharged, their
services no longer being required"
The wedding out process will reach
large proportions when officers begin
to be selected in the National Guard
divisions that will soon be sent to
France. 1t is no secret at the War
Department that many National Guard
brigadier-general and few major
generals are considered by the gen.
eral staff as totally unfit to command
large bodies of men, some because of
ineXperience, but many from lack Of
natural military ability.

Origin of Order Of Odd Fellows.

Details of the origin of the indie
pendent Order of Odd Fellows are OBJ
scure and probably will always remain
so. From incidents attending the extern
sion of Freemasonry in England, Amer
lea and elsewhere in the period be-
tween its arrival, in 1717. and year
1740, and from similarity of emblems
and to some extent mechanical arrange
ment of ceremonials some investigators
believe that the order of Odd Fellows
was an offshoot of Freemasonry. First
recorded lodge was in England in 1745.
It's membership consisted of mechanics
and laborers. Provisions were made
for comfort and recreation of members
and practices of contributing to relief
of needy ard unfortunate brethren be-
gan early

A Specialized Dog.

A short time ago, an article was
widely published about a valuable
hunting dog which had been fitted with
eyeglasses for astigmatism. Probably
most people who read it, laughed and
thought it fake.
The modern science of fitting eye
glasses, however, makes it possible to
fit dog, or any other dumb animal,
with lens which will correct its eye
sight. Up-to-date methods have brought
about the invention of instruments by
which the error of the human eye can
be accurately measured, and lenses to
correct the error prescribed without
asking the patient a single question.
The "silent method" is very rarely used
exclusively, however, except in the
case of the foreigner, or our friend the
dog, when no interchange of thought
can be effected and the examiner must
rely entirely upon the findings of his
instruments.-Wel Magazine.
