War Departments Lessons For
Men of The National Army

Unless man has these three quail
ities-even though he possesses all
the other six in good measurable is
after all only a campfire soldier.
Spirit-hghting spirits far from
being mere hatred Of the enemy or
blind fury, on the one hand; nor Is IL
mere passive obedience to orders on
the other. It means cool, self-con-
trolled courage-the kind of courage
which enables a man to shoot as
straight on the battlefield as he does
in target practice. However, 1t even
goes a step beyond that point. De-
cisive victories can not be won by
merely repulsing the enemy. "Only
the offensive wins" (Infantry Drill
Regulations, par. Sly
/. Like all the other qualities Of a
soldier, spirit can be cultivated. An
unframed army seldom possess it.
But 1t can be developed. You can and
will develop it until it becomes as
much a part of yourself as any Of
your easy-going civilian habits are
now.
Spirit carries body of soldiers for
ward. Tenacity is the quality that
makes them stick" The thorough
soldiers is never ready to stop fight
ing until his part of the battle is
won. Tenacity was never better ex-
pressed than in the words of John
Paul Jones. Standing among his
dead and wounded on his sinking
ship which was ''leaking like bas-
ket," he replied to his adversary's in
yitation to surrender, "Sir, I have not
yet begun to fight" Two hours later
the battle came to sudden end when
the colors of the enemy's vessel
were hauled down.
Self-reliance is characteristic of
the American, whether he is serving
as a soldier or In some civil occupa-
ton. Much the same quality is
sometimes referred TO as sdnitiative.1
It is quality needed more than ever
before in present day warfar Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood, in his introduce
ton to the Field Service regulations
Of the United States army, says:
"Oficers and men of all ranks and
grades are given q certain indepen-
dence in the execution of the tasks
to which they are assigned and are
ing the different situations as they
arrive. Every individual. from the
highest commander TO the lowest
private, must always remember that
inaction and neglect Of opportunities
win warrant more severe censure
than an error In the choice OF the
means"
Malsina Yourself Stronger.
The nine qualities which have Just
been reviewed are those which every
one of us would like TO have for him

Nine Soldierly Qualities.

Nine Soldierly Qualities.
There is group of three soldierly
qualities that are especially needed
during the periods of training
marching, and waiting between com
bats. They are intelligence, cleanli-
ness, and cheerfulness.
Although these qualities are asso
ciated chiefly with camp life, they
are, Of course. scarcely less helpful
in all other phases Of military SER
vice.
Need For Intelligence.
Intelligence does not necessarily
mean education, but rather quick OBJ
servation and willingness to learn
There is plenty of need for intellig-
ence in modern warfare. The nation
al army will be forced to absorb
within a few months training
which would ordinarily extend over
a period of two or three years
Those who intend to fit themselves
for promotion should study thorough
ly the manuals and the drill regula-
lions which affect their duties. In
time they should learn something
about map making and map reading,
the construction of field intrench-
ments, training and care Of horses,
signaling, the handling Of complex
pieces Of machinery. and many other
subjects.
Any practical knowledge that you
mayInow possess will surely be use
full and helpful to you in the army.
Capt. Ian Hay Beth, Of the British
army, points out that in the first
British forces Of the present war the
previous trade or training of every
soldier was sooner or later utilized.
Cleanliness Important Everywhere.
Cleanliness is important every
where, but most of all in the army
where large bodies of men are
brought together. In it's true sense,
it includes not only keeping your
body clean, but also your mind and
virtue in which Americans generally
rank high. There should be little diff
ficulty in setting satisfactory stand
ara In the new army. This is a sub
ject more fully treated later in this
course.
Cheerfulness is always promin ;
ent trait Of good soldiers. Here again
Americans may be counted upon 10
make a splendid showing, even in the
face Of any unexpected hardships or
difficulties that may be ahead Of us.
There are numerous episodes IN
American military history to justify
this confidence.
Three Qualities of Battle.
Finally, there are the three battle
qualities of the good soldier: Spirit
tenacity. self-reliance.

FORMATION OF AUTO
SQUAD URGED BY LETH
State Farm Help Assistant Would
Aid Farmers BY Carrying Laborers
To Rural Districts From Cities.

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 22.-R. J..
Leth, state farm help specialist Of
the United States department of
agriculture in letter to all county
representatives calls upon the people
owning automobiles to help secure
farm help for the farmers of the
state by carrying them to their jobs
on the farms, when the men apply
for work in the towns. The forma-
ton of an automobile squad in every
town OF the state is urged by Mr..
Leth in his letter to county repre-
sentatives, which says:
THE farmer can't haul his own
farm hands. If he he's other men
working they will loaf while he is
gone. He may have four or five
horses and q binder idle in the field
while his grain is SCATTERING. It may
mean dollars to him and the COM
munity for every hour he spends in
a trip to town. Men applying for
work must be taken to the Job i'm
mediately and by the formation of
automobile squads in all commune
ties this can be easily accomplished"

"can place five laborers on a job two
hours earlier than would be POSSIBLE
otherwise it would mean the same as
