Its an honor" said Private Lock
wood OF the 550th Infantry, to the
writer. "That's the way we in our
barracks look at it. To see him and
his service bars makes me want to do
the things he's done, to do my bit the
way he has done his. He has some
thing to be proud of the rest Of his
life. I'll salute him and gladly, every
time l meet him. He's been there"
The French officers have introduced
new word into the lexicon of Camp
Dodge that is doing its bit to lay the
foundation for morale. It's "Kill.'
They use it with every opportunity
They make no effort to soften the
crack of it when they use it in com.
mand. They use it with premedita.
ton. It's the key to the battle spirit
the battle morale. 1t may shock sen.
sibilities of the new soldiers, their
fathers and mothers, perhaps, but sen
sibilities must be sacrificed. Bayonel
fighting knows few sensibilities. The
man with the fewest is the man who
all things being equal, answers when
the roll is called in the evening OF
battle.

structor as he demonstrates a bayonet
thrust. There seems to be no partic
ular reason for the word or the We
hemence in mere demonstration. But
the instructor knows that the sooner
the mind comprehends and accepts in
matter-of-course way that the act
the word describes is the goal OF his
drilling, the sooner will he be q fight

The instructors use it lightly in
their talk. They talk of killing light

had been in at the death too many
times to be heavy with such things.
The stories they tell are those with
the word. And the word is findine
fertile soil.
Contrasted with this new spirt
among the white soldiers here is the
spirit of the blackmen from the south
from Alabama.
1t seems impossible, perhaps, but tt
true. There are scores of negroes

news NOTES FROM
CAMP DODGE
Interesting Information From the
Place Where Our Boys
Are Training.

Division Headquarters, Camp
Dodge, Ia, Nov. 20-The foundation
for the morale of the National Army,
that mental attitude toward the bust
ness at hand that visualizes a silver
lining even in the clouds of battle
smoke, is building in the Eighty.
Eighth division here today.
1t is starting from a source rather
odd. Morale comes with the spirit OF
battle. The spirit of battle comes with
fighting. 1t is more than "a stiff up
per lip" and grim smile on the face
Of the fighting man as he goes over
for the rendezvous with death. Its
the thing that makes the men who
come back from the front, furloughed
or invaded out of it, the most enthus
iastic in the nation for the war.
But our boys at Dodge haven't even
smelled the smoke of their own artill
cry. Yet they are getting it.
1t comes from just five men in the
great cantonment. They have it.
They brot it in it's fresh contagious
form from the battle front in France
They are five officers of the army OF
France who have fought months with
their pOilus under the beloved tri.cOl
or. They we're loaned by bleeding
France to teach the boys of Iowa
Minnesota, North Dakota and Illinois
who will soon 60 to their country's
aid, what they have learned. They
will soon be joined by five more
French and ten British officers.
To the soldiers at Dodge the bars
on their arms are marks of attain
ment and badges of honor. Each rep
resents wound or time on the field
of honor. And it is with pride thai
the khaki clad lads draw themselves
up to attention and salute the men
who wear the sky blue and red uni
forms. He is not called upon to do so
He usually avoids opportunities to
salute his own officers If it can be
done gracefully. Now one sees him

MILITARY TRAINING IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

military training in the schools
conceived as military drilling is unde-
sirable and unavailing; military train
ing conceived as comprehensive pro-
gram Of physical. moral and civic edu-
cation is desirable and even necessa-
ry," declares DR.. w. S. Small in chap
ter ON educational hygiene in the an
nua1 report Of the commissioner of ed
ucation, department of the interior.
Dr. Small points out that military
training thus conceived "offers a possi-
bility of unifying and ennobling the
now confused and disjointed activities
in the field of physical and moral dis
cipline. The physical and moral values
of both gymnastics and athletics are
well understood, but both lack compre-
hensive and unifying motive. All sys-
tens of gymnastics are individualistic
Their appeal is to the desire of the in
dividual for physical perfection Com
petition is narrowly individualistic
Systems Of athletics are mostly based
upon group competitions, and if prop
erly managed are very valuable not
only for physical development but also
for training in the very fundamentals
of social morality. But the philosophy
Of play is the philosophy Of instincts a
philosophy that is not comprehensive
enough to serve as sole basis Of
physical and moral education. Militia
ry training rightly conceived includes
these motives and subordinates them
to the ideal Of patriotism"

GERMAN-AMERlcANs WITH WILL
SON

Resolutions adopted by the German

Americanism. The organization is

Charles J. Hexamar, president of the
alliance, issued statement in which
he said:
"The German-American National ~
lance, representing 100000 constft-
uents, has passed a resolution backing
up President Woodrow Wilson in hand
ing passports to Ambassador Bern
storff and recalling Ambassador James
w. Gerard from Berlin.
eve have also adopted resolutions
pledging our services to the govern
ment Of the United States in case of
war. We win fight under the com
mand of President Wilson as our COM
mander in chief as Loyalty as German
Americans fought under Commander
in-Chief Abraham Lincoln for the pres
ervation of the Union.
"We will organize German-American
regiments and in case of a call for
volunteers we mean to show the
American people with what readiness
ana patriotism we will answer a call
to arms for the defense Of the flag and
the country.
"We have been collecting funds for
the German Red Cross and for the
German widows and orphans. In view
of the present break of relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
we have resolved to deposit all mon
eys received for these funds in banks.
In case of war we will at once turn
over all the moneys we have raised for
the German Red Cross and for the
benefit Of widows and orphans of our
boys, who have to give their lives to
defend our country against Germany.
"Our delegates feel that we have
been greatly misunderstood and un-
Justly criticised during the war, but If
it comes to war with Germany our ac-
tions will not be susceptible to any fur
ther misunderstanding for we will back
up our American government with our
lives and our means. If the present
troubles can be settled without war
and in a few months everything looks
like peace, we may determine again
to send our funds for Red Cross and
widows and orphans as we have been
doing in the past
