and successful manhood whether in
the army or out of it. Even the moral
weakling and the Stacker in their
hearts admire these qualities.
Doubtless you have developed some
Of them already-perhaps all of them
to greater or less extent. Many a
man has discovered, when put to the
test, that he possessed these qualities
without having himself realized 1t.
But under civilian conditions it is not
easy to cultivate all of them
In the army you will have your OPP
portunity in few months of training
to strengthen these qualities in your
self. In SO doing you will learn to
control yourself, to take care of your
self under all conditions, to meet
hardship and danger unflinchingly, to
be fearless and self-reliant. At the
end of these few months of training
you will have gained immensely in
vigor and in strength

| age which enables man to shoot as
straight on the battlefield as he does
in target practice. However, it even
goes a step beyond that point Deci-
! sive victories cannot be won by merely
lrepulsing the enemy. only the Of
lfensive wins" Infantry Drill Regl-
lations, paragraph 511.)
Like all the other qualities of a
colder, spirit can be cultivated. An
unframed army seldom possesses it.
But it can be developed You can and
will develop it until it becomes as
much part of yourself as any of your
easy-going civilian habits are now.
Tenacity
Spirit carries body of soldiers
forward. Tenacity lis the quality
that makes them stick" The thor
ough soldier is never ready to stop
fighting 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 basket" he replied
to his adversary's invitation to surren-
der, iSr, | 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
Self-reliance is characteristic of the
American, whether he is serving as
soldier or in some civil occupation.
Much the same quality is sometimes
referred to as initiative" 1t is a
quality needed more than ever before
in present-day warfare. Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood, in his introduce
ton to the Field Service Regulations
of the United States Army, says:
Officers and men of all ranks and
grades are given certain indepen-
ence in the execution of the tasks to
which they are assigned and are ex-
pected to show initiative in meeting
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 will warrant
more severe censure than an error in
the choice of means"

been reviewed are those which every
one of us would like to have for him
self They are the essentials of virile

Horne-Reading Course
For Citizen Soldiers

a month before had occurred the dis
! astrous and bloody defeat of Fred
ericksburg. In the North it was the
darkest hour of the war. Everywhere
outside the army there was depression
and fear. On January 81, the COM
handing general ordered the eroops
to break camp and move forward. At
the same time "a cold, drizzling rain
set in; the ground speedily became
like sea of glue; everything upon
wheels sunk into the bottomliss mud;
it took twenty horses to start a single
caisson; hundreds of them died in har-
ness; but still the general persisted
But the rain persisted also, and it
soon became a simple impossibiliey to
go forward" After two days of effort
it was necessary to have the men
struggle and founder through the
wilderness of mud back to camp"
Picture the situation Recent de-
feat with heavy losses; retreat
cherries mid-winter camp; rain;
cold; mud Encouragement at home;
long march under the most trying
conditions ending in return to the
same camping ground from which
the troops had started A little
grumbling might reasonably have been
expected. But the men of 1863 were
too good soldiers to draw long faces.
The historian goes on: THE march
was made in high good humor, the
soldiers laughing and joking at their
characteristic of Americans in diff
cult circumstances.
Three Qualities of Battle
Finally, there are the three battle
qualities of the good soldier:
Spirit,
Tenacity,
Self-reliance
Unless a man has these three quail
ities-even though he possess all the
other six in good measurable is after
all only campfire soldier.

Nine Soldierly Qualities

Nine SOldIerly qualities
preceding Lessons: Your Post oil
Honor; g. Making Good as Sol
dier)
The three basic qualities, Loyalty,
Obedience and Physical Fitness, were
treated in the preceding lesson There
is another group of three soldierly
qualities that are especially needed
during the periods of training, march
ing and waiting between combats.
They are:
Intelligence,
Cleanliness,
Cheerfulness.
Although these qualities are asso.
eiated chiefly with camp life, they are,
of course, scarcely less helpful in all
other phases of military service.
Intelligence.
Intelligence does not necessarily
mean education, but rather quick OBJ
servation and willingness to learn.
There is plenty of need for intelligence
in modern warfare. The national
army will be forced to absorb within
a few months training which would
ordinarily extend over period of two
or three years. Those who intend to
fit themselves for promotion should
study thoroughly the manuals and the
drill regulations which affect their
duties. In time they should learn
something about map-making and map
reading, the construction of field en-
trenchments, training and care of
horses, signalling, the handling of COM
pick pieces of machinery, and many
other subjects.
ANY practical knowledge that you
may now possess will surely be useful
and helpful to you in the army. Capt
Ian Hay Beth, of the English 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.
Cleanliness is important everywhere
but most of all in the army where large
bodies of men are brought together
In its true sense, it includes not only
keeping your body clean, but also your
mind and your actions. Fortunately
it is a virtue in which Americans gen.
orally rank high. There should be lit
tie difficulty in setting satisfactory
standard in the new army. This is a
subject more fully treated later in this
course.
CheerfuInesS.
CheerfuIness is always a prominent |
trait of good soldiers. Here again
Americans may be counted upon to
make splendid showing, even in the
face of any unexpected hardships or
difficulties that may be ahead of us.
There are numerous episodes in Amer
lean military history to justify this
confidence.
In January 1868, the Union army
lay in camp at Falmouth, Va About

States. 1t is discussed in the editions

millions of laboring people and pro.
fessional people on small salaries it is
a very real thing. To hundreds OF
thousands with large families of chill
dren to support and educate, it has
come to be fearful thing; to many,
torture and death.
For the high cost OF living there
arc many causes. Two Of these are
the unusual lack Of food, and the fact
that most of the food is consumed far
from the place OF production, which
makes the consumer pay the cost OF
storage and transportation. and the
profits of the middlemen, many OF
whom, in times like these, take ad.

make profits larger than they should.
