THE SOLDIERS PERSONAL AP-
PEARANCE.

One of the most important phases OF
military discipline Is that OF the per-
sonal appearance.
A soldier in camp or In barracks
should keep himself spick ana span. lie
should scrub himself In a daily shower
IL showers are available, shave infni-
libby, keep his uniform brushed II
his shoes polished.
Naturally drill and other military
duties, even in camp, do not enable him
to remain altogether immaculate for
that would interfere with his work.
Hut. while the day Of the ~"kid-glove
soldier" is passed, the constant atten'
ton to cleanliness will overcome the
crime which attaches to the daily rou'
tine and will give the general appear
npce of n%eatness. Dust which has set
tied on the uniform In a drill has a
look which differs distinctly from q
large and indclible stain. In the same
way, faces and hands which are nor
mally clean reveal this fnct even II
Temporarily solled; whereas, faces ana
hands which are habitually dirty can
not give a wholly clean impression
even when washed.
The habit of cleanliness In the sol
der will become second nature, II he
is not an instructive sloven. He Will
find TINT he Is not comfortable IN tne
rcgimental street or on the paraue
ground unless he is neat-wholiy aslos

The soldiers appearance when he

In the matter Of clothes. but In the

SELF HELPS for the
NEW SOLDIER
BY q United States Army OG,er
THE NECESSITY OF GOING OVER
DETAILS.

Nnlie uittNiuS Inc uiiiltult details l
~ squad movements Ia sink into his
mind, the new soldier would do well
AT this point 10 look back over the
ground lie has traverscd. He should
refresh his mind. so far as necessary.
upon what he has previously learned,
and he will at once discover n differ
ence between his present grasp OF
military facts and their requirements.
The more he learns. the more reason
able, necessary and illuminating be-
comes that which he has already
learned.
For example. the new soldier who
has been taught how Ia execute
squad right" does not need the same
amount Of explanation for the neces-
sity Of discipline and obedience as at
The beginning. He realizes by this
time that no squad movement would
he possible unless each individual
were subject and responsive to dis
sipline. lie does not have to be taught
the reason for learning to stand prop
erly, since he sees that no squad could
come to the position of attention and
dress its lire in Il practical military
fashion unless each Individual first
cane to attention. This does not
mean that the new so,dicr-anl even
the partially trained soIdier-will not
find il necessary again AMI again to go
over the details of how to perfect him
self in these essentials; but il is doubt
full whether he world hereafter have
to be told why.
lie has learned how to stand, how
TO step forward, backward, sideways,
the h~nlf-step--and to mark time. He
has learned how to face in any direc'
tion-riyht face, left face, about face
and half face, which creates the prop
er angle for the obliQue march, II,
has learned how 10 start the FORWARD

March.
He has been instructed in some o
the elementary military courtesie>
such MS the all-important salute, an
he has learned the way In which con
mnnas are given. He has BY this tim
come to lean on the p~eremptory con
mand AS a necessity and through thi
his mind and muscles are ~altomatlcall
made ready, in time, for the con
mand of execution. With the eXceI
ton of Il few single commands, such {:
"fall in," "at ease" and "rest'-
special class--he will find that HI
faculties depend upon the prelilninar
notification of what they are to d
in order to do them precisely at tn
moment Of performance.
All this will have become clear
the new soldier If he has familiarlzt
himself with the drill as fur rs Il
point of squad movements. He wi
find that his muscles would subco
sciously resist Il command of eXecut!o
without the preparatory notice or Wh
is expected Of them. This affords the
n chance to gather themselves into
balance for the most effective al
charge of the command, and this bi
ance, operating subconsciously, Is
biz factor in the making Of the go'
soldier. .....

THE SOlDiER'S HEALTH AND
HOW HE CAN PROTECT IT.

No duty Of the soldier is more i'm
nortant than the care Of his health.
y sick soldier is worse than no sol
dler. Not only is he Il dead weight,
but he requires the services Of other
men in taking care Of him. A coin-
pany which has 20 sick men would
b" better off if 1t We're actually 20
men short of Its quota, because the
70 sick men are Of no military value
and put n extra drain upon the regi-
mental organization. Much, If not
most, sickness is aynidahle, with prop
cr sanitary and medical precautions,
and much OF It. certainly, may be a
mans own fault.
The matter of health Is especially
important to the new soldier, since
those whose lives have been sedentary
are exceedingly susceptible to illness
when they first start TO live under
camp conditions. The change Of food,
change of surroundings, change of air,
and change of habits are often too
revolutionary for the system al at
once, unless the soldier pays particu.
lar attention to his health.
The stomach, especially in warm
weather. Is the principal seat Of illness,
and 1t is here that the new soldier has
his fnte-his efficiency rs Il soldier and
I his usefulness to the command-large-
!, Is in his own hands. If, before he Is

STAMPEDE TO TAKE
Citizenship Oath
All Records for Applications Are
Broken in New York

New York, Feb. THE rush Of
applicants to the federal and local
naturalization bureaus yesterday
broke all previous records. In the
county bureau in the Hall Of Records
there were 4O6 applicants for first pa
pers and so for second papers, which
conferred full-fedged citizenship. Or
these 1913 were Germans and $50 Aus
TRANS, who sought their first papers.
In the federal bureau in the Fed
eral Court Building, 1872 Teutons got
their first papers and "A received
their second papers. In the federal
bureau in Brooklyn more than 200
Germans and Austrians received their
first papers. The crush at both the
Essex County and Federal Bureaus in
Newark on the part of Germans and
Austrians to take the steps necessary
to become citizens was unprecedented
In all the bureaus extra. clerks had
to be employed and in some Of the
bureaus applicants were turned away
because Of insufficient clerical help.
County Clerk William F. Schneider,
In charge Of the local bureau, took
personal charge Of the work. Per-
sons are not admitted to the build
ing after p. M, but all those who
are in the building at that hour will
be accomm odated.
The appearance of the applicants
was much different from that Of per-
sons seeking citizenship in normal
times. Nearly all were we'll dressed,
spoke English f1uently, and gave
abundant signs of being prosperous.
Among those who applied for first pa
pers in the local bureau was Rudolph
Kahn, banker Of 71s Fifth avenue
and a cousin of Otto H. Kahn, who
recently got his second papers in New
Jersey Other applicants for first pa
pers were George Franz, a sculptor:
