What kind of soldiers will the
American citizens make?
That is the big question that
interests the world just now. OF
course, we know what kind OF
soldiers they will be--none, bet
ter; but just why should our boys
make excellent fighters?
They have had little or no mil
itary training, and as for disci-
pine, the word was in grave dan
ger of becoming obsolete in this
country before the war, outside
ofsour little armament.
Germany's strongest points
seem to be Our weakest ones, and
we should have a hard time in
deed If the war were to be won
by1systern and discipline alone.
Of course, the two qualities
mentioned are essential in war
fare and always have been. What
really decides the battle, as his
tory has proved all down the line
from the battle of Marathon to
the battle of the Marine: is not
discipline and system, but morale
or spirit.
-,.- The American youth is en-
bowed with an unusual amount
OF, this spirit. The activities of
The young manhood of our ma
ton have developed in them a
fighting spirit that system and
discipline could never have incul-
Gated. q
: It was not without cause that
the Roman conquerors forbade
the Greeks to engage in competi-
tive athletics; nor is it ground
less fear that forces the Germans
to retereat before the charge of
the athletic Canadian allies.
Competitive athletics breeds
courage and resourcefulness, and
the successful warrior must have
an abundance of both these quail
tiles. Because Sammy is the
the most athletic youth in the
world, if for no other reason, we
are sure he will make a most ex-
cellent soldier.
The men at Camp Meade are
especially fortunate in having
every facility to engage in ath-
jietics both in. the way of COM
petent instructors and in equip
ment.

MULES PREFER LUMBER.


Mules that prefer hay and oats in
stead of lumber will have to be sought
by the government II the stables at
Camp Meade are to be used for any
length of time.
The mules at camp have taken lik-
ing to the boards in which their stalls
are incased. not for the protection but
for the eating qualities Of the pine
boards.
As soon as the animals are turned
into their stalls at night, they begin
eating the lumber. leaving their more
palatable apportionment of hay and
oats untouched.

athletics, playing foot ball, base
ball or soccer. And as a result
instead of the men becoming dis
contented when off duty, which
would breed inehiciency, they
were kept busy and made happy
by these events.
We trust Mr.. Braden will be
as successful in stimulating spirit
among the Italian forces by
means of athletics as he has
among the American soldiery.

SUPREMACY OF
 LOVE" IS THEME
 AT M. E. CHURCH

In Matthew 22:35-40 we are told that lawyer asked Jesus, tempting him, what was the greatest command ment in the law. Jesus replied;
 "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This IS the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets"
 It is at once evident that if all mems minds were so inclined as to follow these two supreme commands there would be no use of the continual af- firrations, "Thou shalt not" Until we mediate upon these words of our Savior we are not apt to realize that mans course of actions in life is al- most wholly destined " his loves. He goes where he loves to go, He does what he loves to do. This virtue, or it may be the lack os this, is the in dex of every mans character. What a man loves either fits him for or undoes him for responsible places in life. It drives or leads according to low or high ideals. It fits the hum ming bird for the flowers. It places the tiger in the jungle. It causes the lamb to enjoy the grassy slopes, but holds the turtle to its fluid home. These facts are sufficient to prove that man is in great need of the new birth, the spiritual birth told of in John 3:1-16.
