The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1917-07-12


The Russo-Japanese war showed, con-
clusively to every military expert that
the small man may be made into a
magnilicently capable soldier. The av-
erage Jap appears physically insigniti-
cant alongside the burly Russian, but
mis- fighting qualities are in 10 way in
ferior Less marked is the physical
difference between the French and the
Germans. but the latter are decidedly
the larger men. When it comes to in
dividual fighting, however, the Marine,
VeTdun and other battlefelds have
proved the. superiority of the French
over their Teutonic enemies.
The Fighting 5antams.
When the war in Europe began the
British recruiting authorities fixed the
minimum height for infantry at five
feet three inches. Smaller men were
not to be denied, however After two
or three months agitation, which was
especially strong in the manufacturing
districts of the north of England, they
induced tie war office to accept the
services of men of five feet and to
form those>ef that height and less than
five feet three inches into bantam"
regiments, Experience has fully justi-
field that action. for the bantams have
done splendidly in ell kinds of mill
tary work Among the strongest and
most aggressive fighting regiments
Britain has raised are those recruited
in the Scotch mining districts. They
comprise large proportion of sturdy
men who are below the medium in
stature
Another point to be taken into con-
s:dcfation is that intensive training
frequently adds one, two and even
three inches to the young soldiers
height Numberless thousands of Brit
ish recruits have returned home ON
leave after a few months training
vastly improved in health. strength and
physical development.
There is at least one great fighting
arm, the most powerful in the world
of its kind, in which tan recruits are
not so welcome as shorter men. The
British navy fayors the ''stocky" type
deep of chest, strong of biceps and
not above middle height. Such is the
"handy man" of John Bulls feet. who
is two or three inches shorter than the
typical American Jackie"
Many of the shorter men who want
10 fight under the Star Spangled Ban
ner may live in coed hope. If the war
lasts for another two years it is wholly
probable that Uncle Sam will be glad
to recruit those of his boys who are
five feet two inches high and can pass
the doctor as fit and well.

NATION 5 CAPITAL
GOES DRY TODAY
International News Service:

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The na-
tional capital today becomes the
city of beautiful distances-between
drinks II is bidding a long
farewell TO its saloons. drinks with
ones meals and club buffets. II is
not losing John BarleycOrn altogeth-
er, however. for there will be liquor
lots of it-because congress, while
legislating the saloon, restaurant and
club licenses. out of existence, care
fully avoided making Washington
bone dry"
Last January, after long agitation
by the Anti-Saloon league. congress
finally passed the Sheppard dry
District of Columbia bill" Pre-
viously congress had passed the
Reed bone dry amendment that
made absolutely dry prohibition
states that still admitted the impor-
tation OF liquor for personal use.
There was no real effort made TO
make this amendment apply to the
dry District of Columbia bill and
everyone, including the u-Saloor
league, seemed satisfied. The result
is that, beginning tomorrow. liquor
Of all kinds may be brought into
the district for personal use from
even nearby towns in Maryland, but
the purchase or drinking of il in
public will be prohibited.
Needless to relate there has been
a steady and not always unsurrep-
titious boarding of liquor supplies
and. it is limited, by not a few SEN
ators and representatives as well as
the plain people. One prominent
citizen recently. and many times as
carelessly. boasted over the mahog-
any that he had 1900 worth stored
in his cellar, whereupon all present
looked up his address in the tele-
phone book for future reference. Nor
did the recent bounding prices Of
liquor deter tse boarders.
One Of the interesting features Of
the drying up of Washington is that
il makes IL the sole dry national
capital of the world Not few who
have the city's interests at heart
look with apprehension upon the
impression that will be gained by
visitors, particularly foreign digni-
taries, who look upon the offering
Of wine as the sealing pledge OF
friendship and welcome, as IL is ex-
pected that the law will be construed
to bar even the serving of guests
