4This IS EASY"

A parley followed, during which
Wage-Earner and Wage-Payer frank
~ stated their grievances against each
other and came to the inevitable con-
clusion that they had allowed trifles to
estrange them. Gigantic grievances
have a disconcerting way of dwindling
into pygmies when subjected to dispas-
sionate scrutiny. The upshot of the
matter vas that Wage-Earner acknowI-
edged Wage-Payers superior knowl-
edge of the river and permitted him to
guide the boat. The trip was made In
better time than ever before because
the spirit of cooperation lent strength
to the rowers' strokes.
When it came time for the feast on
the shore of Success, Wage-Earner was
agreeably surprised to find that his
dish of profits was generous enough to
appease his appetite.
If the accompanying illustrations
showed a birdseye view of the shore
from which the rowers started you
would notice that Agitator was con-
spicuous by his absence. Modesty is
n of Agitator's chief virtues. He's
always willing to give Wage-Earner
the credit for any trouble that has been
started.
Personally we think it would be SAT-
er for Agitator to refrain from hanging

under the proper conditions, should
have been comparatively easy.
Wage Garner and Wage-Payer had
made the trip many times before.
Knowing all the dangerous eddies and
currents in the river, Wage-Payer had
always assumed the leadership. At the
same time he had come to place great
reliance on the Wage-Earner's skill and
strength as a rover. There was every
reason why these two men should have
continued on the most friendly terms
They were absolutely dependent on
each others help to get them across
stream. but In matters requiring Co
operation human beings often show
less wisdom than some of the lower
animals.
Through one trivial or another
a difference had grown up between the
two men, and the ill-feeling had been
fostered by a third man named Agi-
tator. who had his w ak to grind and
had found it to his advantage to pose
as Wage-Earner's friend. OF course you
can't find Agitator In the boat of In
dustry. Naturally he can't waste his
time rowing when he has SO much
talking to do. Talking is pretty ardu-
GUS work. Even insurance solicitors
will admit that.

PRESENT ARMS.

a certain number Of horsemen are need
ed in artillery. In infantry hardy ply
sique is of first importance, and good
preparedness for this arm is long, long
walks, carrying a load Of forty to sixty
pounds.
In all arms of service the soldier
may be required to work on sparse al
lowances of r%ations, coarse at that, SO
preparedness should include discipline
of the stomach to digest the ''iron"
ration served on a campaign. This
suggests that there are army occupa-
tons quite as important, though less
picturesque, than that of fighter. Cooks
are always in demand.
The war department classification of
trades and business lines which fit men
for service includes, besides the above
named. feed and grain business, wag-
on, machine, harness and auto repair
shops and factories. grocery, depart
ment, clothing and shoe and hat stores,
packing houses, restaurant and hotel
business, building trades and engineer
ing. A man trained In any OF these
branches can serve his country we'll

der age. a couple of pounds under
weight, maybe. Time will cure that.
The above is a pointer to boys and
young men not to worry In advance
nor forego a noble resolution In the
face of a bugaboo. 1t will not be for
awkwardness or ignorance of mill
tary forms and motions that the dread
word rejected" is passed down at ex-
animation time. Given health and the
five senses. every ~ablebodied youth Is
fit material to begin on. He may pass
the test sooner, become a soldier more
quickly and feel that he has arrived
more quickly by setting himself to
work to qualify for the ordeal.
Mental and physical alertness as well
as bodily strength goes to the making
of the soldier. Ball playing, rowing
and swimming contribute to alertness.
Some coachers advise the novice to
start each day with a bath, followed
by setting up exercises and a hike. II
the exercise is saving wood or chasing
the lawn mower and the hike extends
to store or market some miles away
on an errand. Sc much the better.

pretends to be guiding the boat. When
he reaches the shore he'll eat the lions
share of the profits and you can go
hungry. You know the eddies and cur
rents In the river by this time. Go
ahead and do your own steering and
make Wage-Payer sweat. He needs
the exercise"
The next time the two men embarked
on the trip across the river of Competi-
ton Wage-Earner decided to take the
advice of his false friend, Agitator, SO
that when Wage-Payer indicated the
course they had best take to avoid the
currents and eddies Wage-Earner snap

TIMELY ADVICE To
SOLDIER BEGINNERS
BY CAPTAIN GEORGE. |. klLMER.

"ReJected!" 1t sends the heart of a
young patriot down with a thud to
have that verdict pronounced on his
effort to be a soldier. He may have
lived the life of a hero for weeks,
dreaming of the glorious deeds before
him and the noble sacrifice he would
make upon the alnr of his country.
Snubbed and disgraced is the first

In that of comrades and friends. Yet

THREE CHOICES FOR
SERVICE ON LAND
By CAPTAIN GEORGE. |. kILMER.

BY CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. kILMER.
If a budding war hero chooses the
naval service the first thing is to annex
his activities to some floating thing,
whether on creek, pond. canal or ocean
that is. after learning to swim. If
no craft is handy the next best thing
is to make and handle a raft.
But, supposing the choice to be sery-
ice on land. there are the cavalry, IN
fantry and artillery to choose from,
perhaps. Much depends on a candi-
dates size, weight, intelligence and
training in civil life.
A cavalryman should know some

Whereupon Wage-Earner, instead of

Payer, pumped himself down with

began to pull s%trenuously at the airs.

Wage-Payer demonstrated, insisting
that the course Wage Garner wished to
take was dangerous and If pursued
would lead to the destruction Of the
boat. Then finding that words were of
no avail, Wage-Payer angrfly seized the
oars and began to pull with all his
strength in the direction he thought
was right.
For some time the men continued to
row violently, and their misdirected eff
forts almost capsized the boat, which
see-sawed back and forth but made no
definite progress In either direction.
But perspiration is a great mental
clarifier, and after the boat-mates had
sweated profusely they stopped row

COCKTAILS FOR UNIVERSAL
TRAINING

General Cocktails at New York Ro-
tary club: we need universal mili-
tary training, not only for military
purposes, but for the sake of the men.
II should help the country industrially
and physically. and would teach us
that we owe something to our coun-
try. something we need to learn. Our
national defenses are deficient, and al
ways will be until we have universal
military training
Universal military training should
not alone be undertaken to prevent an
invasion, but because of the training
and discipline ii would give to the
citizens who owe something TO the
government. The voluntary system has
failed in every instance. In the Span
tsh-American war the nation paid
heavily for its deficiencies"
General Goethals told Of finding a
Massachusetts regiment without shoes
in 1893, and said
ITO put 1t mildly this is disgraceful
and yet that is the condition we are
going to find ourselves in II called to
the field.
I'VE are not giving enough credit
to the national guard and the volun-
teers, who are the true patriots Of the
country. They have been largely han
dicapped through the failure Of the
national government to provide equip
ment. Since last July the government
has been trying to improve this con-
dition, but IL succeeds only In spots.
There is no systematic plan and IL any
greater emergency rises an order will
be issued and the men called out They
are not ready to meet aggressive ac-
ton.
This Is not the fault OF the militia,
but of the system. Until changed IL
will always present the same difficult
ties as in the past. We are so deficient
in our national defenses that we are
not ready TO meet any aggressive ac-
ton by anybody. The solution of the
problem is left to sectional feeling"

MISTER MOUJIK.

Russian soldier Recognized as q Citi-
gen and a Human Being.
Syracuse Post-Standard: An evidence
of the liberation OF Russian soldiers
from the autocratic regulations of the
past is found in the following an
nouncement from Petrograd:
An order of the minister of war, NJ.
Gutchkoff. prescribes the use of the
term "soldier", instead of lower
grade, as the designation of privates
in the army. Officers henceforth will
be styled Mister" from ''Mr. General
to "Mr. Cornet', and the terms "Mr.
Northumberland Officer", "Mr. Pay
master and "Mr. Official" will also be
employed. Soldiers will have to be adj
both on and of duty. They will be all
lowed to smoke I'm the streets and pub
lie places, travel inside trans, visit
clubs, attend meetings, and join Yari-
Gus unions, political societies, etc.
The change from thou" to you
puts the private on the same social
scale as the officer. AS in French,
where the familiar form "tu" expresses
Relationship. so has the thou" been
used contemptuously by Russian Off
GERS in addressing the men beneath
them.
There is more significance, however.
in the permission to smoke in public,
10 visit clubs, TO attend meetings, to
form political societies and labor un-
ions. Here the door of Russian poll
tics is opened wide. The soldier has
never before been allowed to think.
Already the Russian has gone be-
yond the Englishman, for England will
not permit the determination of officers
and men while they are off duty.
France on the other hand. encourages
the feeling OF comradeship, and has
suffered no breakdown OF discipline as
a consequence. An officer ana 2 pri-
vate arm in arm or seated together In
a French restaurant is not an infre-
oient sight And France has turned
oat some wonderful soldiers and a
enfrft of solidarity which Is the envy
OF every other nation.
If will be interesting to see how the
rnou1fk takes his new freedom from
the conventions Of the past. Certainly
he will learn TO read and write Ger
tainly he will take part In the politics
on his country. But the question Of
discipline remains open

sIzE OF THE eREAT ARMIgs.

New York World: Indications show
that the strength of the German for
ces totalled, on April l, 219 divisions,
each comprising a maximum of from
10000 to 10000 combatants.
OF these divisions, 143 faced the
French and British, but only 80 We're
in the actual line, the other being
held in strategic reserve. The remain
ing 76 divisions were then on the
Russian, Rumanian and Macedonian
fronts.
At the maximum stated, Of 10000
men to a division and 219 divisions,
the German army would have 1900
men on the eastern and Balkan fronts.
This would leave 1,1S8.000 Germans
actually on the fighting line in the
west, with $4,000 men in the strategic
reserve.
Since the arrival of the British and
French missions in Washington, 1t has
been understood there that the entente
armies in France number 100000.
