An Appeal and Threat.

Amsterdam, April 27.-Berlin news
papers publish an appeal made by Cen
eral Groener, director Of munitions sup
plies, which has been placarded in all
public places. He says:
"Our army needs arms and NUM-
tions. Did you not read Hindenburg's s
letter? How dare you defy him?
'He will be mean hound who does
not work so long as the army stands
opposite the enemy. The worst ene-
mics are among us. They are small
minded people and those who instigate
a strike must be branded before the
nations as traitors to the fatherland
and to the army. Those who listen. to
their words are towards.
.''Who dares to stop when Hindenburg
commands him to work? We are not
far from the goal. The nations exist
ence is at stake"

Institutional Singing.

How is it that we listen with such
pleasure to certain singers and with
Indifference to others? Those in the
second category frequently have finer
voices, and their art is apparent, but
the mystic something is absent. The
vocal technic may be perfect, and in
donation and pronunciation all that
can be desired, but If that essential
personal magnetism is not displayed,
the effect on the audience is small.
Some singers show their training,
these possess what we call 'smade
voices" not that we in any way dis
parage training, success is impossible
without it, but the real artist conceals
this, in the higher art Of interpreta-
ton, by becoming so absorbed and en-
crossed in the spirit of the song, that
the technical side of singing is over
Swallowed and lost, in the fascination
of hearing the words brought to life
and painted with simplicity that is
understood by all who hear.-Ex-

The soldiers appearance when he
meets an officer is important not only
in the matter Of clothes, but in the
manner of his salute. He should never
salute an officer with pipe, cigar, or
cigarette in his mouth. He should re-
move the pipe or cigar, and, while
holding it inconspicuously at his side
with the left hand, salute properly
with the right. He should never chew
gum while saluting. He should never
salute with one hand in his pocket. In
fact, whenever a soldier meets an Off
Ger and salutes, he should feel that he
is under inspection, as, to tell the
truth, he is, for if there is a detail
about his uniform or department which
is irregular, the sharp eyes Of the
officer will detect it.

such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan, and is the ideal skin sOftener,
smoothener and beautifier.

THE SOLDIERS HEALTH AND
HOW HE CAN PROTECT 1T.

No duty Of the soldier is more i'm
portant than the care of his health.
A sick soldier is worse than no SOL
der. Not only is he dead weight,
but he requires the services of other
men in taking care of him. A COM
pany which has 20 sick men would
be better off if it were actually 20
men short of it's quota, because the
20 sick men are of no military value
and put an extra drain upon the regi-
mental organization. Much, if not
most, sickness is avoidable, with prop
er sanitary and medical precautions,
and much Of it, certainly, may be a
mans own fault.
The matter of health is especially
important to the new soldier, since
those whose lives have been sedentary
are exceedingly susceptible to illness
when they first start to live under
camp conditions. The change of food,
and change of habits are often too
revolutionary for the system all at
once, unless the soldier pays particu-
lar attention to his health.
The stomach, especially in warm
weather, is the principal seat of illness,
and it is here that the new soldier has
his fate-his efficiency as soldier and
his usefulness to the command-large-
ly in his own hands. If, before he is
well seasoned in camp, he eats be-
tween meals; if he eats food not set
before him at mess-especially the
most tempting pies and cakes and
cream-puffs from home; if he hangs
about the canteen buying candy, nuts
or cookies, he is almost certainly des-
tined to be i'll. And such illness may
be no trivial matter, at that, since it
may start whole train of disorders,
from cramps to dysentery. The ex-
tent of the illness will probably depend
upon the degree of the new soldiers
vitality, that is, his capacity to re-
sist it.
Another prolific source of illness may
be in what man drinks. Alcohol in
every form should be avoided; glass
of beer may disturb the whole diges-
tive organization. And the dyed fluids
sold at the pop shacks" at the
edge of the camp are to be severely
Stunned. They are responsible for
much of the work which devolveS upon
army surgeons. They often are poison
Gus to the system, and at best are con-
ducive of indisposition.
The one way in which the young SOL
der keeps himself in health, except
for circumstances which are beyond
his control, is by his care of the body
and it's habits. If he is always clean,
his pores function properly and throw
off the wastes; if he keeps the body
well clothed, that is, protected against
the weather. he will not catch cold and
the pores will not therefore become
clogged and cease to work. He should
keep his lungs filed with fresh air.
He should keep the body thoroughly
exercised, but without exhaustion, for
exhaustion lowers the vitality and the
consequent resistance to disease. For
the same reason, he should keep the
body refreshed by sufficient amount
Of sleep.

Tons of Gold Dollars.

The statement that there has just
been counted in New York, at the
United States assay office, the enor-
nous sum Of $765;0O0,O0O in gold may
be visualized somewhat when this is
translated into ounces, pounds and
tons, writes Girard in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
While it has been asserted that this
sum probably is the largest amount Of
gold coin and bullion ever accumulat-
ed in one place, it is well to remem-
Der that only so recently as year
ago there was said to be $500, 100000
in gold and bullion in the Russian
State bank.
The sum in New York figures out
something like this: There are ap-
proximately 100000 ounces or 3,OOO,-
600 pounds or 1,946 tons. The figures
are not exact.

He Was Cured,

Once there was little boy who stole
sugar. So strong was his craving for
sugar that half his mothers time was
taken up watching the sugar bowl.
One morning, however, she filled big
tumbler full of sugar and gave it to
the little boy and told him to eat 1t all.
The boy took a spoon and started in.
He ate about a third of it before he
got enough. His mother insisted that
he eat some more-it was all his to
eat, and she'd box his ears if he didn't
eat 1t. She did box his ears, and he
ate a little more, but presently he
slipped the tumbler under his chair
and slipped out to play. When he
came back, though, the tumbler was
there waiting for him. He ate little,
but 1t wasn't good. He said it twas
too sweet" Every day for a month
that tumbler was by his plate at the
table, on a chair by his bedside, in the
closet with his playthings-every-
where he found that tumbler. The
flies swarmed about it, and the ants
came, but still it was "too sweet"
That tumbler never was finished up.
The boy is an old man now, and takes
his coffee straight. Gooseberry pie is
the only kind he likes. All other kinds
are "too sweet."-Kansas City Star.

SELFHELPS for the
NEW SOLDIER
By a United States Army Officer
THE NECESSITY OF GOING OVER
DETAILS.
s.s..s.
lCopyright, 1917 By the Wheeler Syndicate. Inc

While allowing the difficult details
| of squad movements I'd sink into his
mind, the nea' soldier would do well
at this point 90 look back over the
ground he has traversed. He should
refresh his mind, so far as necessary,
upon what he has previously learned,
and he will at once discover a differ
ence between his present grasp Of
military facts and their requirements.
The more he learns, the more reason
able, necessary and illuminating be-
comes that which he has already
learned.
For example, the new soldier who
has been taught how to execute
squad right" does not need the same
amount of explanation for the neces-
sity of discipline and obedience as at
the beginning. He realizes by this
time that no squad movement would
be possible unless each individual
were subject and responsive to dis
cipline. He does not have to be taught
the reason for learning to stand prop
erly, since he sees that no squad could
come to the position of attention and
dress it's line in a practical military
fashion unless each individual first
came to attention. This does not
mean that the new sOldier-and even
the partially trained sOldier-will not
find it necessary again and again to go
over the details of how to perfect him
self in these essentials; but it is doubt
full whether he would hereafter have
to be told why.
He has learned how to stand, how
to step forward, backward, sideways,
the half-step-and to mark time. He
has learned how to face in any direc-
hOn-right face, left face, about face,
and half face, which creates the prop
er angle for the oblique march. He
has learned how to start the Forward
/. MARCH;" how to stop-the
HALT, in two counts; how to execute
the commands altering the direction of
March.
He has been instructed in some of
the elementary military courtesies,
such as the all-important salute, and
he has learned the way in which COM
mands are given. He has by this time
come to lean on the peremptory COM
mand as a necessity and through this
his mind and muscles are automatically
made ready, in time, for the COM
mand of execution. With the excep.
ton of a few single commands, such as
"fall in," Eat ease," and 'rest"-a
special class-he will find that his
faculties depend upon the preliminary
notification of what they are to do
In order to do them precisely at the
moment of performance.
All this will have become clear to
the new soldier if he has familiarized
himself with the drill as far as the
point of squad movements. He will
find that his muscles would subcon-
sciouSy resist command of execution,
without the preparatory notice of what
is expected Of them. This affords them
chance to gather themselves into a
balance for the most effective dis
charge of the command, and this bal
ance, operating subconsciously, is a
big factor in the making of the good
soldier.
