GEN. MILES AND THE RECRUIT.

When Gen. Miles was in Porto
Rico as commanding general of the
United States troops, a raw recruit
from Tennessee was detailed for
duty as his orderly.
The recruit knew absolutely moth
ing of military etiquette, and on re-
ceiving orders to report to the COM
manding general for duty he saun-
tered over to the tent of that digni-
tary, where the general was in con-
ference with several staff officers.
Entering the tent without the for
mality Of a salute, the Tennesseean
remarked: "Well, Miles, did you
want to see mel"
General Miles bristled up. Don't
call me Miles," he began irritably.
Then the humor of the situation
dawned on him, and he added with a
grim smile: That's too formal.
Call me Nelse."
Then he proceeded to read the
recruit lesson that he never for
got on the amenities of military life.

Think over this difference between
army organization and civilian organi
sation. The longer you thing about
it the more clearly you will see why
your own interests demand that you
should fit into your place in the army
and follow instructions much more
strictly than is nevessary in civil
life.
The army is governed by military
law. This means that soldiers are
not brought to trial in civil courts.
Every officer and every soldier must
be ready to make any sacrifice, big
or little, to accomplish this object
An officer may spend years in work
ing out solutions to military prob
lens, only to find in the end that all
the credit for what he has done is
swallowed up in the general reputa-
tion of the army. If this proves to
be the case, he has no cause for com
plant. 1t is the rule of the army
that everything must be done "for
the good of the service
In the same way you may be call
ed upon to carry thru some danger
cur mission or to perform unpleas-
ant duties. Every such call is an op-
portunity to show your loyalty to the
service and to the nation. Remem-
Der in all these cases that hundreds
of thousands of other men in the
army, from top to bottom, like your
self, are working first and all the
time for the success of the team.
1t is usually the army with the
strongest team spirit that fights its
way hru to victory. Try 70 culti-
vate that spirit in the national army,
both in yourself and among your
comrades.

So far in this course we have been
taking up some of the problems which
each soldier has to face and solve for
himself; how to adjust himself as
quickly as possible to the routine of
camp life; how to keep himself and
his belongings clean in spite of the
difficulties in the way; how to look
after his own health and comfort;
how to take care of arms and equip
ment; and how to get real enjoyment
as well as benefit out of army life.
If the course were to stop at this
point, it might leave on your mind
a false impression. For after all.
the soldier is not an individual play
er in the great game of war; he is
valuable chiefly as member of a
team. 1t is a team of enormous size.
1t is organized in rather compli-
Gated way. This team we call the
army.
Your army life will be more in
teresting if you know in a general
way how the team is organized. This
Will enable you to see more clearly
where you fit in and what is expect
ed of you.
If you have been working for a
business concern, you are already ia
miliar with many of the elements of
army organization. You have been
in touch with the same things under
different names.
Need for Teamwork.
In factory or store or Office
wherever large numbers of ncorle
are working together-there is al
most always some one in direct
charge of each group of workers.
This person may be called foreman
in the shop, chief clerk in an Of
flee, floor walker in a department
store, or by any one of number of
other titles; in the army we call him
corporal or sergeant. Going up
a step, you know that in every large
concern there are numerous officers
who take charge of various depart
ments of the business such as the
superintendent, the traffic manager,
the advertising manager, the sales
manager, the secretary, the vice
president, and SO on; in the army we
call the men in corresponding posi-
tions captains, majors, colonels and
generals. Finally, you have at the
top of the business concern a presi
dent or a general manager who di-
rects everything; in the army he is
commanding general.
This general likeness between busi-
ness organization and army organiza-
tion is helpful, but must not be car
ried too far. There is one vital diff
ference: The average business con-
cern is somewhat easy going; the re-
sponsibility for each piece of work is
not always definitely fixed. In the
army everybody. on the other hand, 10
held to the strictest account. There
is very seldom any doubt as to the
man to be held responsible for each
task.

Responsibility Always Fixed.

Within each rank, from major gen
eral to private, every man has his
individual ranking, depending upon
his length of service in the office
which he holds. This ranking in
sures that in every situation some
body always has authority and is re-
sponsible for whatever is done. Even
if two private soldiers are working
together without supervision, the one
who has been longer in the service
takes charge and the other must
obey his orders. This rule applies
everywhere.
In civilian life there is time for
argument. You may have better
ideas than your boss about how GER
tain things should be done and DOS
sibiy may convince him and get his
original orders changed. In army
life nothing of this kind can be per
naitted. The officer in charge al
ways has the full responsibility.
Whatever orders he gives must be
instantly obeyed. 1t is far better

may not b done in the best pos
sibie way, than it 10 to stand still

AMONG THE SCOUTS.

A scout Is patriot and is always
ready TO serve his country mt min
ute's notice. He loves Old Glory and
knows the proper forms Of Offering it
respect. He never permits its folds
TO touch the ground. He knows how
his country is governed and who are
the men in high authority. He desires
n strong body, an alert mind and an
unconquerable spirit, so that he may
serve his country in any need. He pat
terms his life after those of great Amer
leans who have had high sense of
duty and who have served the nation
well.
A scout, like an old frontiersman,
does not shout his wisdom from the
housetops. He possesses the quiet
power that comes from knowledge. He
speaks softly and answers questions
modestly. He knows a braggart, but
he does rot challenge him, allowing the
boaster to expose his ignorance by his
own loose-wagging tongue.
Evansville Qnd.) Boy Scouts have
just established new wireless station
and claim that they will soon be able
TO talk with New York. New York
scouts who have stations are eagerly
awaiting message from the Indiana
boys.
A scout never flinches in the face of
danger, for he knows that at such
time every faculty must be alert to
preserve his safety and that of others.
He knows what to do in case of fire, or
panic, or shipwreck; he trains his
mind to direct and his body to act. In
all emergencies he sets an example of
reSourcefulness, GOODNESS and courage,
and considers the safety of others be-
fore that Of himself
