Emil G. Bolx, In New York Sum

Who not only shouts "Old Glory" but feels it;
Who pursues practical, not passive democ-
racy;
Who not only likes to thrive with his country
but is ready to die for it;
Who would not barter its tniest blade of grass
for the wealth of universe;
Who respects its institutions, who does not derlde
them
Who has the courage of his convictions, not the
acquiescence of his expediency;
Who believes in principle, not the qualification
of it;
Who rocks the cradle with one hand and bal
ances his books with the other;
Who is chdlike with you in success, and stanch
in adversely;
Who loves one woman and honors all;
Who is mild with the simple, but rock with the
sophisticated;
Wo can pat puppy that despatched his trousers;
Who is square with himself, and lenent toward
ignorance;
Who is fair to labor and labors fairly;
Who is humble in his achievement, and generous
with his praise.
Who can be stalwart champion as we'll as an
innocent bystander;
Who believes in adequate preparedness, and Will
cheerfully dig up his share when the bills
fall due;
Who observes the intent, not the letter of the law
Who can be gallant to scrubwoman, and indit-
ferent to the naughty;
Who is as fastdious about his moral shirt cuffs
as his laundered linen;
Who eats his own embamed beef, and forwards
the better cuts to those who serve his coun'
try; ....
Who tries to be kin to every race and color and
creed because he has no wish to draw
distinctions among those who will serve
him in the pinch

the Editor of The Bee: All honor to
the twelve senators who refused to
surrender into the hands Of an ire
sponsible executive the war-making

Patriotism in America is not quite
dead, and there is yet some hope for
free government even in face Of the
fact that today in Washington was
witnessed for the first time the coro-
nation of an American president.

FAMOUS FRENCH

s,MERICAN FIELD HEADoUAR-
TERs FRANCE. Nov 1.-American
troops now receiving instruction IN
modern warfare on French soil have
as their instructors a division OF the
famous French Chasseurs, including
even a regiment OF Chasseurs Alpins.
The Americans are thus in the
handa OF one OF the most famous
corps d'elite" OF the entire French
army The Chasseurs and, above all
the Chssseurs AIpins. are among the
few military bodies OF Europe who
have a tradition TO live up 10 and an
ESPRIT de CORPS TO maintain that
keeps them at al times up on their
toes." The pep" that results from
this they have, too, the faculty Of
instillinE in others.
These HChasseurs q Pied or light
foot soldiers have distinguished them
selves In all campaigns in which they
have participated. In the present
war as a corps d'elite they have dis
tinEuished themselves particularly on
the Year, at Eerdun, on the Somme,
on the sHartmannswillerko and on
the Linge.
There Is only one flag for all the
Chasseurs battalions. 1t is already
decorated for military valor with the
Legion OF Honor, the Medaille Mill
taire and the Croix de Guerre. The
nag passes from battalion to battal'
ion at regular intervals with a fixed
and elaborate military ceremony.
The esprit de corps" of the Chas.
sturs Is already being instilled BY
them into the new American troops
10 such an extent that there is little
doubt but the American army will take
on the military qualities OF this IA
nous body. The Chssseur officers are
enthused over the manner in which
the Americans take to the dash, dis.
cipline and military spirit of their
own troops. and the Americans in
turn are no less proud OF having such
a famous and crack corps to be their
instructors

OFFICERS NOW IN
TRAINING TO WAIT
FORCOMMANDS

Thousands of men now completing
courses in the second officers training
camps face a period on the inactive
list, without pay, because the army
has no place for them.
General Bliss, the chief Of staff, and
.AdJutant General Mccain are inquir-
ing into the officer needs of every
branch OF the military service to find
openings for the men to be commits
stoned at the Fort Myer and other
trGinfng camps, out they are con-
WINGED they will not be able to care
for all the new officers, probably for
not more than half the 1900 men in
camps
At least 5000 will be assigned at
once to national army cantonments,
national army camps and to General
Pershing's field headquarters in
France. The signal corps and avia-
tion service can accommodate 1000
more. The Quartermester and ord
rance departments will have places
for some of ahe men. but there will
be thousands required to wait in re-
serve until the second draft contin-
gent is called out.
Campo Close November 20.
The second training camps close
November 20. The wedding out proc
, ess is now in progress at the camps
and unit students will be dropped at
the end Of the course or given oppor-
tunity to enter the noncommissioned
ranks The remaining officer va
cancies will then be filled and such
officers winning commissions as re-
main will be required to wait until
a place is found for them.
Plans are under consideration to
call further draft contingents out in
the very near future. 1t may be that
the officers placed on the inactive list
VIII not have long to remain on the
n0npay reserve list. Eventually all
will be given assignments, and every
effort is being made by the general
stan TO hasten the military program
along 50 that these assignments may
be made at the earliest moment.
The TegrettAble feature, stan Of
, hcials said, is that many OF the men
who will be compelled to wait for
military assignment are the best Of
heer material.
More Mature Men.
For one thing, the second camps
have more mature men than the first
camps. The age average is higher.
The instructors at the training camps
also had the advantage OF their ex-
perienco in the FIRST camps and were
able to do more effective work in
training. The result is that the stu
dent officers In the second camps
learned twice as much in the three
months as the men of the first camps
and in the mass are better able 10
take immediate command than the
men riven assignments in the field
with the hrst draft contingents.

POTATOE GROWING.

To the Editor of the Gazette
AS 1t is drawing near the time when
the farmer will have to decide how
many and what variety of potatoes to

do would be to write to Congressman
C. c. Dill at Washington, for a copy of
Farmers Bulletin No. 35 on potatoe
culture This bulletin treats of the soil
and crop rotation, manuring, varie-
ties, planting, time to cut seed pota-
toes, change of seed, seed end, v stem
end, effect of sprouting, quantity of
seed potatoes to the acre, size of seed
pieces, effect on total yield, effect ON
gross salable yield. effect on net sal
able YIELD General considerations on
the amount of seed potatoes and size
of seed tubers. Can small potatoes be
profitably used for planting. Number
|of eyes and weight per set, number Of
cuttings per hill, distance between the
plants, cultivation, mulching, havest-
ing and storing, second crop of pota-
toes, summary.
