new MARCHING SONG
IS 'PUT ON" HERE
Soldiers from Fort Myer Make Hit
at Belasco.

Lieut.. Thorpe's new marching song
for "sammies" was sung by the men
OF Company A, Officers Reserve
Corps Training Camp. Fort Myer. last
night at the premiere of the musical
comedy, "Oh, Boy" at the Belasco
Theater.
First-nighters applauded with round
after round of enthusiastic clapping
the singing Of the soldiers, which
occurred at the end of the intermis-
sion, Just before the second act of
the show. Lieut.. Thorpe is a gradu-
ate of the Virginia Military Institute
at Lexington, Va, and has received
many congratulations from military
men on the swing and pep" Of his
new song.
The words are fitted to the we'll
known tune of Goodbye. Little Girl.
I'm Going to Leave You"
The orchestra with "Oh, Boy" played
the music, while about two-thirds Of
Company A, which attended the per-
formance en- masse In the FIRST bal
cony, rendered the lines in a hearty
and distinct manner.
The verses OF the song. which It has
been suggested be called Canning
the Kaiser" are as follows:
"Goodby Fort Myer, we're going to
leave you
We are ready for the fray.
You taught US how TO lick the Kaiser
In that good old Yankee way.
Wen show the world what we're made
of
We are soldiers through and through,
Well come back with victory
Fort Myer, hats OF to you"
Thorpe, the composer, has just
received his commission as lieutenant
in the infantry branch OF the new
national army.

LESSON l.-Your Post of Honor.

/ Mai. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, Chief OF
stan. U. S. A, remarks on this
point:
The conditions under which mod
ern wars are fought are ever making
increasing demands on the individual
soldier. The individual soldier
must know how to interpret accu-
rately orders and signals for the
| enemy's fire may often so isolate
him from his leader and comrades,
perhaps only a step away, that he
may be thrown on his own initiative
in making his actions conform to
| those OF the whole line; he may
| have to use his own Judgment in
opening fire, in advancing, in In
trenching."
Fair Play.
A second tradition of the American
army, which need only be mentioned,
Is that OF fighting fairly and treating
| even the enemy with as much hu-
manity as his own conduct will per-
NIT. As for slaughtering or enslav-
ing the civilian population OF cap
tured territory, attacking prisoners,
| or assaulting women. American SOL
diers would as little commit such
crimes in time OF war as in time Of
peace. In this respect most of the
| civilized nations OF the world think
alike.
Fighting for Principles.
There Is a third splendid tradition
Of the American army which you will
help to carry forward. 1t has fought
always and everywhere in defense OF
principles and rights-never merely
for territory and for power. Even the
civil war resulted from the clash of
opposing principles-the principle of
an indivisfble Union upheld by the
North, and that OF freedom to with
draw from the Union upheld by the
South.
To protect the rights Of citizens, the
american people have several times
opposed tyrannical governments-the
English government in 1776 and 1872,
the French government for a short
period in lT9s, the Mexican govern
ment In 1913. the Spanish government
in 1895. The final effect in each case
has been to advance the cause of lib
erty and democracy throughout the
| world, even in the countries against
which we fought. Our weapons have
not willingly been turned against any
peoples. but only against the rulers
who misgoverned and misled them. In
! fighting for our own rights. the Amer
ican army has fought also. in Presi-
dent Wilson's phrase, for the rights
Of mankind"
For a like high purpose. the Ameri-
can people have entered into the pres
ent war against the German govern
ment-a government which in our be-
lief misrepresents and misleads the
German people. Only by so doing
can we make America and the world
safe for democracy" But one end
ing can be thought of-an ending that
will guarantee the continuance of all
those principles and rights which the
American army has in the past so
nobly fought to establish.
Never lose sight, even for an in
slant, OF the fact that all your train
ing, your efforts and your sacrifices
have this one great object in view, the
attainment OF which is worth any
/ thing 1t may cost.

GUARDSMEN CALLED
TO CURB DISORDER
Soldiers Return to Armory After
Doing Patrol DUTY.

Alexandria, Aug. 13-As a precau-
tionary measure and to prevent a re-
currence of any street fights between
the soldiers from st. Asaph's camp,
thirty members OF Company G, First
Virginia Infantry, were called out
last night about 10 o'clock. After pa
trolling the streets for an hour, they
returned to their armory. The sit
uation is now well in hand and no
clashes between soldiers and citizens
were reported.
A provost guard. consisting of a
score OF soldiers from st. Asaph's
camp. where four batteries OF the
Twelfth United States Artillery, are
encamped, was also in town until mid
night rounding up soldiers. One SOL
der was taken into custody by the
provost guard on the charge OF i'm
personating an officer.
The Washington herald., 1917-08-14

You are called to serve as q SOL
der in the national army. because
that is one OF your obligations as
citizen of the United States. The
citizens OF a republic must always be
ready in the hour OF need to leave
their own homes and take UP arms
in defense Of their rights and princi-
pies. Otherwise the republic could not
long continue to exist. The men who
now enter military service deserve the
gratitude and respect Of their fellow
citizens.
You are doubtless making a heavy
sacrifice to perform this duty to your
country. Hundreds OF thousands Of
other young men and their families
are face to face with similar sacri-
fees. All our citizens will sooner
or later be called upon. each to bear
his or her share OF the burden. Men
and women. rich and poor. all alike
must do whatever is necessary and
must give up what Is necessary. For
no personal interests or feelings can
be permitted to stand in the way at
time when the safety and honor
Of the country are at stake.
Your personal responsibility Is great.
As warfare 10 today conducted, the
individual soldier counts for more
than ever before. Your own skill and
bravery, no matter how humble your
rank. may easily be important factors
in deciding whether an engagement is
to be won or lost. You can not de-
pend upon anyone else to carry this
personal responsibility for you; you
must depend upon yourself.
Some American Soldiers.
Americans are well-titted to meet
this test. During the civil war, at the
battle Of Antietam, the Seventh Maine
Infantry lay. hugging the ground, un-
der a furious storm Of shot and shell.
Private Knox, who was a wonderful
shot. asked leave to move nearer the
enemy. For an hour afterwards his
companions heard his rife crack every
few minutes. His commanding on

hour or so, a piece OF shell took OF
Tue DIeeCn Oh MS pet Ililc' anu ne re-
turned disconsolate; but after a few
minutes he gathered three rifles that
were left by wounded men and went
back again"
In the Confederate armies individ-
ual soldiers were no less skillful. cool
and brave. On both sides they were
Americans.
Tales of heroic courage can be found
in the annals of all armies and of
all nations. But the American army
has its own special tradition, which
such incidents illustrate. 1t Is the
tradition OF intelligence. self-reliance.
nd individual daring on the part OF
men servin in the ranks.
Individual Soldier Counts.
Other things being equal. an army
made up of self-reliant, thinking men
has a great advantage over a merely
machine-like army, and this Is espe-
Cially true in present-day warfare

EARLY FALL FLOWING
BEST IN NORTHWEST
Result in Productive Soils Is Ac-
emulation of Plant Food
for Next Season.

(By A. C. Army, University Farm, st.
Paul, Minn.)
The chief reason for blowing is to
put the soil in shape to produce good
crops. For the best results the plow-
ing must be done at the right time.
Grain crops in particular need gener-
GUS supplies of readily available plant
food early in the season. Therefore,
In the Northwest early fall plowing
for grain crops is to be preferred.
This allows the needed changes that
take place in loosened soil to get
started early and to continue until the
ground is frozen. The result In pro-
ductive soils is the accumulation
throughout. the cool fall months of
plant food and this is easily taken up
by the grain plants the following
spring.
For corn, black loan soils should
be plowed in the fall. On the heavier
clay soils spring blowing for corn is
often preferable.
Good blowing means more than
making the field appear black. 1t
means more than making straight fur
rows. However, a good plowman
usually makes straight burrows. In
q well-plowed field the soil is stirred
