THE ARNN AS A SCHOOL

1 think that, Of all the experi- euces and adventures l have had in Uy life thus far, those I gleaned during ny fourteen months in the Iegular army have had the most pro found effect in shaping my destiny,
 The recruiting posters will tell EUu that year iu the army will teach your boy courage. It will. Also, Il will teach him how to die, and iu teaching him this it will teacL him how to live. And he will learn how tc obey, in order tha iu the later battle of life he may LuOw how to command; it will teach him democracy, and if, af- ter be has learned ro defend his country and himself, he is called upon to make practical use Of his education for tho benefit of poster ity, be will learn tenderness and mauliuesS and how to sacrifice with out thinking about it. Yes, all p,scitisls to the notwithstanding, he will learn these thing, even while killing his fellow man. And if you show me 9 man wao has been thru active service and is now 8 pacifist and denies this statement, l will take the short end of g modest bet that his record in the war de- purtment archives will prove him a maliugerer, on sick report when he wasn't in the guardhouse for being dirty, careless, inefficient soldier. Military service in the United States army is a real job with yariegated details, many Of them unpleasant to some natures, but none of them degrading, and the army is the finest school in the world for teaching 9 boy courage, seII-reliance, cleanliness and eff cieucy.-Peter Hyne, in the Ameri- can Magazine.

A Confirmed
 Statement
Evidence Skagway Readers VIII
 Appreciate

Doan's Kidney Pills have done .splendid work.
 Have merited the unsttnted praise they have received.
 Here's evidence of their value that none can doubt.
 It's testimony that's twice-told and well confirmed.
 Such endorsements ar9 unique ir the annals of medicine.
 Should convince the most skepti- cal reader.
 F. A. Sutton, tents and awnings dealer, 896 Hoyt St., salem, Ore, says: ''I had kidney trouble and rheumatic twinges ten years or more. My back gave me a great deal of bother and sharp paines ex- tended all through my body. l was all run down, lost weight and was in poor health. Doan's Kid ney Pills made me feel like a diff ferent man. My appetite improved and the aching and pains leff me-" Statement given Jan. 81, 1906).
 On April 13, 1916 MT. Sutton added: "Wheneyer my kidneys aren't acting right I take Doan's Kidney Pills for a few days and they never fail to overcome the trouble" "

states now bound and gagged by Germany.
 The iron heel of Prussianism now is suspended above the Russian people. Will they thrust 1t aside, or allow it to come down upon them and hold them fast while the yoke is put upon their neck. The thought that 1SO, 100000 people so imbued with the spirit of democracy as Russia will submit to this hu- initiation is unbelievable.
 Surely the Russians will awaken; and soon hurl back the invader and continue an unconquered people, preserving the traditions Of the proud Slavic race and maintaining inviolats their pledge to democratic alIies.-Dawson News. ,-,--......

HUGE TASK INVOLVED
 IN TRANSPORTING ARMY

Some idea of the enormity of the task of moving the great bodies of United States troops to be raised may be gained from the fol lowing figures: 6229 cars are neces- sary to transport an army of SO,- 900 men. These cars would be made up into 866 trains with as many locomotives. There would have to be 2115 passenger coaches, 385 baggage, 1855 box, 1899 stock and ITS flat cars.
 This quantity O. equipment repre- sents ' per cent Of the locomo- tives owned by American railroads Az per cent of their passenger cars and 2 per cent of their full equip ment, says Popular Science monthly,

RIGA DRIVE

The Teuton capture of Riga and its fortress may seem at first thought to be a demoralizing blow 10 the Russians. But it may prove the reverse.
 The Russians are an independ- ence-loving people. The audacity of the Germans in sbeginning to over run Russia may rouse the indigna- tiOu of the Russian people. If it succeeds in doing that, it will create 8 national unity, and that is just what KereR2ky needs in the critical hour.
 The Russians are not losing to- day because they are incapable. They are giving ground because there is lack of national pride. The revolution through which they have been passing has been absorb ing their attention, and they have forgotten the wolves Ut the border.
 Now that the hosts of militar- ism are rushing into regions for generations free from the foot of an invader, the Russians may have 1t brought home to them that they shortly will be reduced to the ser vile position of other conquered

| your squad it's first lesson in the methods of advancing against en- emy lines actually used in present day warfare. You will first be shown how to deploy as Bkirmish- CTS. Moving at 8 run you and the other men will place yourself in one rank, the interval between men being about 15 inches, instead of 4 inches as in close-order drill. This is the simplest form of leQloy- ment, which may be roughly de- fined as spreading out R body of troops in thin open lines so that they may more easily advance even in the face of enemy fire.
 The next step in extended-order drill is to practice kneeling, lying down, and advancing at run.
 One of the most important fea- lures of this part Of your training will consist Of yeaTning to. conceal yourself from the view of the enemy by taking advantage of hillocks, trees, heap of earth, rocks, gull lies, ditches, doorways, windows, or any other cover that may be at hand. Your object is to reach the enemy. The more skillful you are in the use of cover the smaller the chances of your being disabled during the attack.
 This principle applies also if you are ever fired upon while scout ing or acting independently; drop to the ground and seek cover, and then try to locate the enemy.
 Gradually you will become high Iy skilled in this form of attack. Not only will your skill increase but also your confidence. You will flearn in time that troops standing on the defensive behind entrench- meuts seldom fire upon on adyanc- ing enemy with steadiness and ac- curacy. The greater determination and energy you and your comrades show in the advance, the smaller will be the chance of your suffer ing severely from the enemy's fire.
 The problem Of each individual soldier is to obey the commands and at the same time to use his own judgment and skill in taking advantage of cover as he advances It Is especially important that you should obey at once any directions that may be given to you as to re- setting the sights on your rifle and that the rapidity of your firing should be controlled by the orders of your captain.
 Don't fail to keep in mind also that you are a member of a big team and that every member plays an important part in contributing 10 the success Of the team. The one requisite necessary to win the battle is intelligent teamwork. The army is handled just like foot ball team. A part is on the first line facing the enemy. Another part, like the half backs, is held back as supports. Another part, like the full backs, is held as a re serve. Each unit, like each play CT, has a certain duty to perform. When the signal is given, all work together-aIl play the game-team- work"
