the novice to brace up the moral and
spiritual man as well as the physical.
All this comes to the fore in train
ing. Nerve and muscle need moral
backing to endure. The army must
get at the enemy. Now, the enemy's
first play Is to block that game. He
puts a deep river to be crossed or a
mountoln barrier to be scaled between
his camp and the foe.
Amateurs can tackle no better job
than improytsing a bridge, wading and
swimming to put In place material
that they must back from a distance
to the shore. Hill and mountain
climbing Is simpler In details, but
harder on a mans powers. All good
training of recruits from towns and
cities includes mountain work.
Bridge building calls for skill and
courage. Mountain work tests endur-
ance and push. In campaigns cannon
and machine guns, ammunition and ra-
tons sometimes have to be hauled up
steep mountain sides bare of roads by
sheer man strength. Horses and mo-
tors can't go there. But men can and
may have to do 1t on AL fours." In a
