Col. Peyton Outlines Civilian-soldiers' Duties

against the German government,
and you are sent here for military
organization and training.
Unity Essential
SIN football, and in every other
game where strength and skill are
required, success depends upon the
physical condition of the individual
players, and upon the unity Of &C
ton, and team work of the whole.
In the military game we call this
team work, and willingness to play
the game--discipline
WAR is science that requires
for its mastery constant study and
hard training. To be successful in
the war game we must develop in
diVidual strength and courage, skill
and proficiency in the use of the rife
and bayonet, and at the same time
obey accurately and promptly the
signals, which are the orders of your
officers, and non-commissioned Off
GERS. Signals in football are never
prefaced by will you kindly or
will you please do, ETC., and our
coaching in the Army does not adj

mission of orders.

necessity for prompt obedience of
orders. It promotes unity of action,
it is essential to success of a mill
tary mission, and it will respond
promptly to the orders of its i'm
mediate chief. so that when our

WORKS TWO WAYS

1t was at one Of the new Ma
tional Army cantonments. A new
recruit passed a second lieutenant,
but failed to salute. The second
lieutenant wheeled and said:
you, there, halt! Don't you
know enough to salute an officer ?"
The rookie gazed at him dumb
ly, at loss for a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION.
Now, you stand there and sa-
Lutte me fifty times" ordered the
lieutenant.
The rookie obeyed. A major
coming up, stopped to watch the
performance to its completion. At
its end, he said:
What's this?"
The lieutenant explained.
Don't you know that an officer
must return the salute of a pri-
vate?" inquired the major. IRE
turn the fifty"
Tha second lieutenant did.

HIGHER POSTAL RATES
EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER q

Beginning November 2 the rates
of postage on letters will be three
cents instead of two, and two cents
instead of one on postal cards. This
is one of the ways the government
expects to raise millions of addi-
tional revenue with which to buy
supplies for it's soldiers.
Men in National Army and Ma
tional Guard cantonments and
camps should advise the home folks
of the change in the postal rates so
as to avoid delays in the handling
of their mail. II the proper postage
is not attached to letters and postal
cards the mail delays for the collec-
ton Of postage due" are certain.

Soldiers in the making probably
never heard a finer standardization
of the obligations devolying upon
men in uniform than Lieutenant
Colonel e. G. Peyton gave the 320th
Infantry at Camp Lee, Petersburg,
Va. His address, although brief,
was most comprehensive, beginning
with the universal liability of cit
liens of a republic to military serv-
ice, touching upon the life and du~
ties of soldier and concluding with
allusion to the opportunities for
advancement.
Every man in each OF the thirty
two cantonments would do well to
read and remember Lieutenant
Colonel Peyton's words.
Here is his admirable address:
Citizens Must Be Soldiers
1.-THE obligation for military serv-
ice is an inherent attribute of cit
izenship. The citizens are protected
both in person and property by the
government through its agencies,
the courts and it's officials. In re-
turn for this protection, it devolves
upon the citizens to give protection
to the government in the event it's
institutions are threatened, and its
sovereignty violated, and this pro-
lection is best accomplished by the
organization of citizens into mill
tary force. Our constitution clearly
contemplates this, and in conse-
quence of our participation in the
war with Germany, the draft law
has resulted.
AS a result of Germany's years
of preparation and her enormous
mobilization of men and resources,
it has devolved upon our govern
ment to retrieve our past indiffer-
ence to preparedness by appropria-
ting enormous funds for the mobili-
zation, housing, training, and the
supplying of men in sufficient num-
bers to win this war
1--WE are today fighting just as
much for principle, for freedom,
for protection of our citizens, and
to resist violation OF our sovereignty
as did our forefathers in 1776 and
1912. We. are representing the
American people In their war
Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1917-10-31

military crime you have not the
right to trial by jury. Your time
must be employed to the best adj
vantage of the government, and you
can't lay off for a day or so without
authority Every enlisted man has
a right to take proper grievance to
his commanding officer for adjust
ment. No officer or non-commis-
stoned officer will be permitted to
abuse this authority over you. OF
course, we don't expect to get to-
gether 5000 men in one regiment
without having some who will have
to be driven to their work.
I'VE are servants of the govern
ment, creatures of orders. and I
have tried to point out the necessity
of strict obedience to the lawful or
ders of superiors. Our non-military
friends are imbued with the idea
that the private soldier is also the
servant Of the officer. This is most
erroneous. You are not required to
do mental personal service for an
officer. However. in making camp
after days march you will find
that the officers are busy looking out
for your comfort, and it is expected
that detail from the company put
up the officers tent and place inside
the property belonging therein.
This is military duty pertaining to
the establishment of the camp.
''You are starting life in youI
new home on the level. Some have
had military experience, but there
are splendid opportunities of adj
vancement for all. We must have
corporals and sergeants, and the
most proficient men among you will
receive those appointments. There
are vacancies now among the COM
missioned personnel, and there will
be other vacancies. You have q
chance to establish your worthiness
for such vacancies, and your officers
will be glad to recommend you for
promotion when your proficiency
warrants it. Some of you will suf-
fer financially by your entry into
the service, but your military expe-
rience will improve you physically,
broaden you mentally. and we want
you to maintain high moral and re-
ngious standards"

Physically Unit
Be Reclaimed
Congress Expected to Estab-
lish Camps for UpbuiIding
of Rejected Men. Changes
! Contemplated in Selective
| Service Law

Many Of the young men of selec-
tive service age rejected for phys
zeal reasons either by local exemp-
ton boards or after reaching camp
are destined to see service with the
icolors after all.
One Of the first bills Congress will
be asked to pass when it meets in
December will be measure provid-
ing for the establishment of camps
for ''reclaiming' these rejected
putting them through
course of training which will re-
move their physical disqualified
tions.
This will be good news to hun
dreds of young men who were anx-
ious to don the uniform Of their
country with their fellow townsmen,
but were prevented from doing so
because of easily remedied physical
amperfections The reclamation"
camps will do the work which hun
dreds Of young men who were
turned down have been trying to do
at home by exercising and improv-
ing their health in every way pos
stble SO as to fit themselves for mil
itary service.
1t is probable that a number of
changes will be made in the selec-
tive service law soon after Congress
assemblies, as observation of the OPP
GRAFTON of the law has suggested
number of beneficial alterations.
The law will be improved and
strengthened in number of ways
by amendments. but practically none
of its cardinal principles will be
changed.
Indications are that Congress will
be asked to pass law providing for
universal military training, with the
age limits considerably below TWEEN
ty-one and above thirty-one.
Representative Kahn, of CaIifor-
MIA, who engineered the seIective
service law through Congress last
spring, is confident that both houses
will promptly adopt an amendment
providing for the registration of
boys between the age Of sixteen and
tWenty-one, to become subject to
the draft upon reaching the latter
age.
Another amendment is expected
to make men who became twenty
enc after June liable to service.
Thousands of young men escaped
the draft because they did not be-
come twenty-one until June 6, z. 8
or just few days after June S.
All Of these men are expected to be
made available for call in the first
draft.
Many representatives and SEN
ators have indicated their intention
to support an amendment raising
the draft age TO at least thirty-fve
years.

PASSES TO Her REWARD

mother Of the Rev. Charles s. Knight,
passed peacefully away early last
Friday morning. Mrs. knight has
been living with her son for the last
two years. and while weakness and
old age prevented her going out to
any great extent, she made host OF

Mrs. knight was born in the town
OF Ashford, Kent County, England,
seventy-four years ago and came
with her father and step-mother TO
this country when about ten years
OF age. While yet, in her teens she
was obliged TO leave school and make
her own way in the world, but as
she often said; mot alone" for Jesus

After some years she became the

Union City. Pa. II was while so en-
ployed that she met Alfred Knight,
a widower. with six children, who
had recently arrived from London,
England. They loved each other and
were married in 1870. Shortly after
this Mr.. knight became q local
preacher and was soon ordained as

spent a very enjoyable hour together.
There were about fifty present. A
short program was given in which
there were a number OF short
speeches. Mr.. and Mrs. Vaughn
were there and both made very in
teresting talks about Tennessee, Civ
ing some of its earlier history and
prophecying a great future for some
OF its sons and daughters who are
here. A number Of interesting and
amusing games were played, after
which refreshments were served.
