Necessary Rule of Army Life
discipline is the necessary rule of
IRE IN the army and is not in the
Ieast inconsistent with your own
pride and self-respect as citizen
and soldier.
Ihe person whom you obey may
De an officer, noncommissioned Of
ncer or even another private who
has been given authority to com
mand you. Whether you like him or
not, you must respect his position
and authority. and reflect honor and
credit on yourself and your profess

duty of every true soldier" manual
of Noncommissioned officers and
Privates, p. %
Remember also that there are GER
tain restrictions upon the relations
or ofhcerS and men which are a nec-
essary part of army discipline. An
officer, even though in private life he
may be your warm friend and asso-
ciate, is expected not to mingle with
you or other men in the ranks on
terms of familiarity. This is a rule

the officer; but he has no more power
to change it than you have. The rea-
son is clear An officer can not
mingle with the men under him on
familiar terms without becoming bet
ter acquainted and more friendly
with some than with others. He inn
mediately lays himself open to the
suspicion of favoritism-a suspicion
which tends strongly to undermine
respect and authority.
Argument has no place in the
army. Even favorable comment on
the conduct or orders of superior
officers is entirely out of place. The
duty of officers and men alike is to
obey promptly. However, intelligent
suggestions properly made are al
ways welcome.
The discipline of the army is lust
and impersonai. You will be treated
with fairness. Your rights will be
respected. On your part you must

1t goes without saying that dis

Saluting tho Colors
The American flag carried by a

Officers and men passing an un-

The same rules of respect are OBJ

the uncased colors are carried by.
The colors are escorted in parades
or on the march in campaigns by a
color guard, consisting of two SER

two experienced privates selected by
the colonel. The regimental color
is always Oh the left of the national
color.
The National Anthem
Similar rules of respect apply
whenever the "Star-Spangled BAN

Dead Bank President
Defaulted Great Sums

Washington. Sept. 12. - The office
of Comptroller OF the Currency has
announced that the late president OF
the Chemical National Bank of New
York, ]. b. Martindale. who died in
July, was a defaulter to the amount
of 100000 or more.
The defalcation ran over a period
of sixteen years, while Martindale
was vice. president and president OF
the bank. The discovery of the crime
was made at the end of June, when
Martindale was in the hospital. He
had usually been present at the end
of each month, manifestly for the pur-
pose of attending to the balancing OF
the deposit account from which he
had systematically taken funds, and
on his first absence Vice. President
Twitchell found that a practice exist
ed, by Martindale's orders to the tel
Ter. to bring to him the statements
