BOYS TO FIGHT WAR SOON
Germany Using Some Seventeen Years
oId--Haig, British Commander
Wants Young Men.

London. - The war department
threatens soon to become a struggle
between mere boys. The pace is said
to be entirely too fast for the older
men long to endure. 1t Is declared
here that next year the entente allies
will be facing boys Of seventeen In
the German army.
Gen. Sir Douglas Haig, commanding
the British expeditionary forces, is
said to have objected to the sending
out of men Of middle age. He wants
young men of from eighteen to TWEEN
ty-five. After the latter year, it is
said, the fighting value of the human
unit shows a rapid and steady decline.
The good soldier of today, it seems,
must be of the age which excels In the
more strenuous athletic games-the
football player type. The older men
have their place, but generally speak
ing it is said now to be in "the army
behind the army"-the men back Of
the line, in the supply and transport
divisions where the strain is not so
great. These older men are too sus-
ceptible to trench diseases to be Of
great use on the firing line.
England already is registering boys
born in 1899 preparatory to calling
them up when they attain their eight
zenith year.

Trees and Faces.

You can tell a good many interest
ing things about a tree just by looking
at it. Sometimes it leans far over in
one direction because a careless foot
trod upon it long ago. Sometimes all
the branches point one way, and this
tells us what sort Of winds it had to
face when it was a sapIing. People
who know about trees can tell almost
the whole history of one by looking
1t over.
But trees are not the only things
whose life story is written upon them
where everyone can read it. Every
day your thoughts and your acts are
writing a record on your faces. The
boy who is overbearing, and the girl
who is peevlsh and fretful. may try to
hide these faults from those outside
their homes, but it cannot be done.
Little lines are coming about the eyes
and lips which tell the whole story as
plainly as words could do it. Be care
full that the record they write upon
your face is of thoughts and acts that
are loving and kind.
