A phrophecy has come to light that
was written In Germany in 1901 in
which a war Is spoken of as "Will
be started by the murder of a noble
man, and will be between seven ma
tons and a bird with two heads The
emperor of Germany is referred to
as "a king who mounts his horse from
the wrong side and whose saying is
with God onward
Some quotations are "In this war
there will be wagons without horses.
fiery dragons in the sky and the people
will stand by helpless. 1t will last
three years and five months. There
will be a time when people cannot buy
bread and 1t will be dealt out to them.
"All nations will be drawn into this
war in sympathy. The winner car
ries a cross and between four cities
and four towers Of the same height
will be the peace settlement. Here
the victor will kneel and thank God.
All wrongs will be adjusted after the
war
1.-THE war will begin at harvest time
and will be at its height when the
cherry trees have blossomed three
times. Peace will be made in time for
Christmas"

This course of thirty daily lessons
is offered to the men selected for SER
vice in the national army as prac-
ticaa help in getting started in the
right way. 1t is informal in tone and
does not attempt to give binding rules
and directions. These are contained
in the various manuals and regula-

/ On May $4,000, Private William p
charged an occupied bastion, saving
the life of an officer in a hand-to-hand
combat and destroying the enemy"
In all these cases medals of honor
were granted. The incidents, how
ever, are typical of the army. Thou
sands of similar stories might be told
They represent the spirit that will in
spire the National Army when the
time comes to show the stuff of which
it is made.
Tales of heroic courage can be found
in the annals of all armies and OF all
nations. But the American Army has
it's own special tradition, which these
incidents illustrate. 1t is the tradition
of intelligence, self-reliance, and indi-
vidual daring on the part of men serv-
ing the ranks.
The Individual Soldier Counts
Other things being equal an army
made up of self-reliant, thinking men
has a great advantage over a merely
machine-like army, and this is espec-
tally true in the present-day warfare.
Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, Chief of
Staff, Z. S. A, remarks on this point:
THE conditions under which mod
ern wars are fought are ever making
ocir in ix-;l
folder. Is The individual SOL
died must know how to interpret ac-
curately orders and signals, for the
enemy's fire may often so isolate him
from his leader and comrades, perhaps
only step away, that he may be
thrown on his own initiative in making
his actions conform to those OF the
whole line; he may have to use his
own judgment in opening fire, in adj
vancing, in intrenching"
Fair Play
A second tradition of the American
Army, which need only be mentioned,
is that of fighting fairly and treating
even the enemy with as much human
ity as his own conduct will permit AS !
for slaughtering or enslaving the |
civilian population of captured terri
tory, attacking prisoners or assaulting
American soldiers would as
little commit such crimes in time of
war as in time of peace. In this re-
spect most of the civilized nations of
the world think alike.
Fighting for Rights and Principles
There is a third splendid tradition
If the American Army which you will
help to carry forward 1t has fought
always and everywhere in defense of
principles and rights - never merely
or territory and for power. Even the
Civil war resulted from the clash O.
principles-the principle Of
IN indivisible Union upheld by tn
forth, and that of freedom to with
lraw from the Union upheld by the
outh.
