LETTER FROM ANN ARBOR

Mrs. Ida Collacott, formerly of Mo-
nett, writes to The Times and sends
an Ann Arbor paper containing inter-
esting items. Her letter is in part as
follows:
"Under separate cover I am sending
you an Ann Arbor paper. l would
like to have you cory the article about
Allen Collacott in The Times as L
know friends in Monet would like to
read it.
'The article about Howard Turn
bull might be interesting, too, as he
visited in Monett, while boy, with
his mother, Mrss w. Dawson, and is
a cousin of Charles and Fred Frear.
81 am glad to see that Monett has
started Red Cross work. We have
been busy ever since the war began.
| have made eleven sweaters, couple
of pairs of wristlets and few socks
since July 25. I had very serious
operation, June 30, and while recover
ing I am doing all can to keep the
soldiers warm.
"Each Saturday morning begin to
get anxious till the mail man comes,
as I know l will have my Monett
paper to read"
The article concerning Allen Cola
colt is as follows:
"E. A. ColIacott, of Detroit, grad
uate of the dental school last June,
has received a commission as first
lieutenant. Mr.. Collacott is son of
Mrs. Ida Plaisted, of 431 South Di-
vision street, and resided in this city
sometime before taking up his prac-
tice in Detroit"
The article concerning Howard
Tursbull is too long to copy. He is
temporary corporal of 38th r:achine
gun battalion, Company A, and the
first man to represent Washtenaw
countysat Camp Custer. He remarked
on visit to Ann Arbor after his en-
Iistment in the training camp, that
'"The spirit of '76 was in the heart of
every man in the camp and that the
boys We're already eager to get into
a real battle across the seas"

HOME-READING COURSE
FOR CITIZEN SOLDIERS
Arms of the Service.

FIantlng Arms OF the Service.
We have spoken so far as if all SOL
diers were infantrymen; that it, as if
all fought on foot armed with the
rifle and bayonet. AS we all know an
army is much more complex. There
are two other fighting arms" of the
service, the Cavalry and the Artillery.
These three branches of the Army are
sometimes called the ''line"-a term
which comes down to Us from the day
when soldiers in battle were always
drawn up in line. The other branches
to be described later, are included un-
de- the general term "staff." How
ever, the Engineer Corps. and the
Signal Corps are in part troops of the
line, though they are herein described
for convenience under the heading of
staff branches of the service"
The Infantry is the backbone of the
Army. 'It is the Infantry soldiers
who must bear the greatest stress of
battle, and war is more dependent
for success upon his individual action
than upon any other factor" By far
the largest number of men in the Ma
tional Army will go into the Infantry
branch of the service. In the present
war the Importance of Infantry is
even greater than in previous wars.
The Value of Infantry.
1t is not enough for Infantry to
know how to defend itself. 1t must
know how to attack. 1t is not enough
that it should be able to move forward
in, masses. The Infantry soldier must
also have the intelligent self-reliance
that will enable him to act as an indi-
vidual; always, of course, within the
limits of military discipline.
The chances for initiative in pres
ent day warfare can best be illustrat-
ed by recounting the story of Michael
O'Leary, lance corporal of the Irish
Guards in the British Army. On Feb
ruary /, 1915, the Guards We're ordered
to retake a trench which had been
temporarily lost to the Germans

1t is considerable honor to Vermont
to have one of her citizens chosen as
president of the New England Fair asso-
citation at the annual meeting in Spring
field, Mass, recently. Oscar F. Benson
of Brattleboro is the man to whom the
distinction came and he is said to be
well fitted for the position. The small
est state in the New England division
as far as population is concerned, Yer
mont is nevertheless capable of taking
the leadership in this, as in other affairs.
There is no doubt that the selection of
Vermont man for this place was due
in part, too, to the prestige conferred
upon the state by reason of the state
fair at White River Junction, in con
junction with some of the other large
fairs, like the one at Brattleboro. This
indirect benefit will have u tendency to
spur on the fair arrangements throughout
the state to maintain the excellence of
their exhibitions.

The new state building at Montpelier
gives the impressive of being massive
and substantial. A little adornment on
the exterior would add greatly to the
beauty of the structure. Why not add a lit
tie to the appropriation, to permit of the
completion of the structure in manner
to make Vermont people feel pride in a
handsome buildingf The legislators who
are to see the building day after day
for the next few weeks will no doubt be-
come impressed by the fact that great
deal of beauty can be added to the archi-
tectural outlines with comparatively
slight outlay.
