Fighting with the Russian army in

He is mascot Of one of the Russian

arity of the allies.
When the time comes for the bears
regiment to go in the front line trench
es for its six days of duty, the bear
goes along. He keeps the all night
yigils with the sentinels and as. there
is nothing else to eat but the regular
rations brought up from the rear he
permits the soldiers to divide their
share with him. The Russian army
has brought with it into France its
own cuisine and the soups and dishes
prepared would appear to be, judging
from the appearance both Of the sol
diers and the bear, of highly nour
ishing character.
When the bear has finished his time
in the front line, he accompanies the
regiment to the rear for the custom
ary six days Of repose. He is always
ready to go anywhere provided he re

IN COHSCRIPT KITS
War Department Specifies Scant
Equipment-Ban Is Put on
Trunks and Handbags.

Loving mothers, doting sweethearts
and kind friends must not load drafted
men up with a lot of clothes and COM
forts when they start to camp on Sept.
8, Provost Marshal General Crowder
ruled.
The 206,10O boys entraining for cam
tonments on that date will be allowed
to take very little. Trunks are abso-
lutely barred. Suit cases aud handbags
will be frowned upon.
The war department prefers that
each man bring only necessary toilet
articles and one change of linen and
underclothing, done up in neat small
bundle.
This is because strict attention win
be given the military appearance Of
the boys from the moment they report
at headquarters Of their local boards.
The department wishes it under
stood, however, that it is as necessary
that the boys bring the articles men,
toned as it is that they bring nothing
more.
Members Of each mans local board
will inspect his kit just before he en-
trains, rejecting everything that has no
place therein and returning the surplus
articles to his relatives.
These men," said a draft official,
"are not going ON vacation trip.
They are going to study the business
Of war. They will be supplied with
all the necessary clothing and equip
ment when they get to camp"
According to the, regulations, any
man can take toothbrush, a piece OF
soap, a collapsible drinking cup, tow
el, few handkerch.efs, an extra shirt
and collar, suit Of underwear and Q
pair Of socks.

active service will be only for the dura-
ton OF the war. The men will receive
S1O0 month and 70 cents a day for
food allowance, shelter and clothing,
though it is suggested that the work
will be facilitated if they buy their
own uniforms before the camp opens.
OF the candidates thus far accepted

with Porto Rico as their legal resi-
lence. The others are native Porto

that he is much pleased with the gen.
sral fitness Of the accepted candidates.
and he expects to see a fine lot of off,
GERS graduated. He has toured the en-
tire island to examine applicants, thus
insuring selection by an experienced
officer.
The camp site at Cayey, where Henry
barracks are located, is considered the
best in the island for the purpose. The
location is high and healthful. and the
barracks have ample room to accommo-
date the student officers. The sandy
soil of the camp grounds quickly alb
serbs the rainfall. making drilling at
all times possible.
There is no doubt that through the
selective draft fine brigade will be
obtained. Adjutant General John A.
Wilson, exhibiting letter received by
him day or two ago, said, There will
be no trouble in conscIiption as long as
this kind Of spirit is shown"
The letter from Mayaguez. signed by
four young men, read:
Signed below you will find the names
of we four young men who. full Of love
for the nation that has built the gen.
eral welfare of our beloved island and
proud of being citizens of the greatest
nation in the world, are willing to con-
tribute, even with our lives. to the de-
fense of the kingdom Of democracy in

OVER 100000 AT WORK
ON BRITISH MUNITIONS
churchill Says Army ls No Longer
Tapping Stored Up Resources of
the National Energy.

London.-Colonel Winston Churchill,
minister of munitions, has begun the
reorganization of the British munitions
department. In q statement he saws
the department is now employing
100000 persons and the headquarters
stan 1850 and that it is controlling an
expenditure of between f6OO, ZOO, 900
ana t7OO,OOO.O00 a year. Colonel
Churchill says the work the depart
ment has done has made the British
armies "the best equipped and most
formidably armed in Europe"
But" the minister adds, after these
great efforts and In the fourth year of
the war we no longer are tapping
stored up resources Of the national en-
ergy or mobilizing. We are applying
them for the first time to the war. The
magnitude of the effort and achieve
ment approximates continually the
limits of possibility. Already in many
directions the frontiers are in sight.
and it is necessary therefore not SIM
ply to expand, but to go back over the
ground already covered and by thrifty
and harmonious methods CLEAN a
further reinforcement of war power"
For this purpose, Colonel Churchill
says, it has been decided to form the
nfty departments of the ministry into
ten groups, each to be presided over by
an experienced officer of the ministry,
who will constitute council, the func-
tlons of which will be similar to those
of the army council.

A Soldiers Song

To the valley of the shadow,
Whittier Death was drawing me,
Came hand whose touch meant comfort
Came the hand Of sympathy.
Through the endless round of moments,
Through the long, long scourge of pain
Near that valley my soul hovered,
By that hand led back again.
That Is all can remember
OF the blackness of that night.
Round that patient hand of kindness
Memory sheds glorious light.
When my night of illness ended
And my thoughts came back once more
lived o'er the day of battle,
Day of glory and of gore.
Wondering at the source of Kindness
Opened 1 my eyes to see;
Saw behind the hand unfailing,
Red Cross of humanity.
