Pershing Also Pleased.

Mai. Gen. Pershing also was much
pleased with his inspection of the
American troops. He noted material
improvements everywhere and said:
Il am extremely well satisfied with
what | have seen today. a thing which
particularly strikes one about the
Americans is the fine spirit which pre-
walls among both officers and men.
Training is progressing rapidly and
satisfactorily in every respect"
The review of the chasseur division
was most spectacular. Gen Pershing
greatly admired the dash with which
it was carried out. The infantrymen
made a splendid showing. hut the pic
turesque feature was the rushing by
of the divisional artillery. with horses
at fast trot. followed at some dis
tance by several troops of cavalry at
full gallop. Later. three of the chas
seur bands played THE Marseillaise"

Raainnina of the Drama.

The theater in the only sense that is
worth considering was born in Athens.
Both tragedy and comedy spring from
feasts in honor of Bacchus, and as the
jests and frolics were found to be out
of place when introduced into graver
scenes a separate province-the true
drama-was formed and comedy arose.
The father OF the Greek comedy was
Aristophanes. who had lots of fun
lampooning the public men of Athens
The creator of Greek tragedy was
Aeschylus. born B. c.. 525. In sublimi-
ty Aeschylus has never been surpass-
ed He is to the drama what Phidias
and Michelangelo are to art.

Soldiers and Socks.

The German soldier does not wear
socks, but fuss-lappen. These are strips
of cloth soaked in tallow and wound
about the feet They are supposed to
wear more evenly, are more easily
cleaned and, when properly worn, are
not so likely to wrinkle and cause bills
tiers.
Military authorities disagree, howev-
er. as to the relative value of socks and
tallow soaked strips. Either covering,
though, is considered preferable to the
custom Of wearing no socks, which has
prevailed in the French, Spanish and
Italian enthusiastically.
