] all they have buHded, the blasting of 1 hopes, all the gigantic. overwhelming l disasters which war has always brought from the very dawn of his 1 tory.
 To our boys and girls, war is merely
 mean something unpleasant to very remote people but not bo them. Yet
 we are at war with a foreign power.
 Our enemy is so far away, however,
 not yet been fired. They fail to see the
 import of it all, even with young men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one being called to the colors under the Selective Draft Law.
 Up to this, we have remained in sort of comatose state. It is time we awakened. The flames are lit. The horror is loose. The country, the all we hold dear, are at stake. We must arise! -
 Some, who call themselves conscien- tous objectors, are blocking the march of progress. They are spelling any interest in things of worldwide im- port because they feel America is safe in it's position, 5000 miles away from the scene of hostilities and that we should not go there to fight.
 Yet how many honestly believe we are safe from invasion-that no foe can come laundering over our borders with awful engines of destruction which could turn our homes into smol- dering ruins in an hour? How many think no hostile aircraft can float noiselessly above them while they sleep, dropping bombs that would shatter houses to matchwood and crumbled stone and human bodies to quivering fragments of bloody meat.
 It is easy to laugh away these thoughts. England did so before the war, and learned to laugh in another manner after a few air raids on her unprotected cities. We do not know what the months may bring, nor what nations may be in the war at the end of the year. Germany has already laid plans to attack this country via Mexico. That she did not succeed was due to no fault of her intriguing agents here and abroad. Remembering these things, ct every man and woman and boy and girl in America do his and her part in the prosecution of the war. First, they must realize we are at war Hay ing come to that understanding they | must then help the government in 1 every possible way.

The Road to France.

Capt J. Milton State in the Montreal
 Star) In childhood's days there was a road Along which elves and n1ystics strode, That wound by vale and murmuring And vanished over yonded hill In memory still that winding track Comes very gently stealing back, And seems today, by Fortunes To point the way that leads to The road to France begins to call Before you see the road at all. When deep within your heart there
 comes
 The answering thrill to flags and
 drums
 The road to France Is OCT the track Of ships that never will come back; Of Britain's argosies that sleep In shattered hulks in oceans deep A thousand leagues of hidden dread Yet OCT that trackless path have
 sped
 A thousand craft with men and guns From Canada to crush the Huns! The road through France and Bel
 gium yet
 Goes rumbling on through Cource-
 lette,
 Ger Vimy ride and ancient Ypres, Where maple leaves in Flanders sleep. By every hallowed shrine in Franco Where glory led the great advance, The highway sweeps to ruins flood By milestones set in British blood. For those who tread this road for gain, Who seek no sacrifice nor pain, Who add no strength to pay the May count their souls forever lost. There is no road to heaven or hell, Where some wayfarer does not dwell Who fain would pay to take his
 chance
 To tread this sacred road to France!

LESSON NO. 2. MAKING GOOD AS A SOLDIER.
Preceding Lesson: l.. Your Post of

1 l (Preccding Lesson: l.. Your Post of 1 Honor)
 1 The National Army, in which you are to take your place, truly expresses the American character and ideals. It is great democratic army. It in cludes men of all degrees of wealth and education, chosen through fair and open selection by lot All are brought together on terms of equality. There has been and there will be in this great National Army no favorit- ism and no pull" The poor man will drill side by side with the man who t has been raised in luxury. Each will learn from the other. The place each man makes for himself will be deter mined by his own work and ability Developing Soldierly Qualities. The question as to whether 1t is better to join the colors now or with later contingent is not worth arguing, since the decision has been made for each man by lot. An ambitious man, however, will be glad to join now. It gives him a better chance for promo ton. The commissioned officers of the first \contingent are picked men who have voluntarily gone through the hardest kind of training. The officers of later contingents will be. drawn largely from the men enlisted in the first contingents. There is plenty of opportunity here for every man to use his brains and his energy and to earn promotion according to his worth. This does not mean easy or quick ad- vancement. It means only that you will have your fair chance-and you cl- of op yourself and to climb upward step by step.
 In order to make good in the Ma tional Army you must first of all fit yourself to carry with credit the sim pie title of American Citizen Soldier -one of the proudest titles in the world. This means that you must develop in yourself the qualities of a soldier. The more quickly and thor oughly you cultivate them, the greater will be your satisfaction and success.
 There is very little real difference of opinion as to soldierly qualities. They have been determined by ages of experience. Weapons change, but the soldiers who handle the weapons re- main much the same.
 Three Basic Qualities.
 There are three basic qualities, without which no man can be a real soldier even though he may tempo rarily wear a uniform. They are:
 Loyalty
 Obedience,
 Physical Fitness.
 A man without these qualities is in the way and is source of weakness to an army, both in camp and on the field of battle.
 The Articles of War of the United States set forth the military crimes which are punishable by heavy penal ties. Among these crimes are deser- ton, cowardice, insubordination, drum lenness while on duty, sleeping while on> duty as sentinel, disclosing the and giving aid or comfort to the enemy. Run over this list and you will see that every one of these crimes can resu'" only from

the absence of one or more of the lnree basic Qualities of a soldier.
 Loyalty.
 A sololer's loyalty governs, first of all' ms 1eellngs and action toward his country his government and his flag. Ihere can be no such thing as half way loyalty. The slightest compro- mise opens the door to treason.
 But a soldiers loyalty does not stop here' At governs also his feelings and actions toward the army and toward all the officers under whom he serves It absolutely forbids disobedience among both officers and enlisted men. or d1srespect toward those in author ity
 Golns step farther, loyalty gov- erns also a soldiers feelings and ac- tons toward his own regiment his own company and his own squad Without this form of loyalty there can be no real comradeship; without It you Will never feel that personal prlue ana sausfaction in the service which should mean so much in vo,,r army life.
 Obedience
 The second of the soldiers bas;c qualities is obedience, based on dis cipline. Without obedience and dis. clpl1ne an army can not long continue to exist; it will quickly disintesrate into an armed mob. As the Infantry Drill Regulations put it, discipline is 'the distinguishing mark of trained troops"
 Frequently the recruit, with his 1n- born dislike of being bossed, makes the mistake during his first few weeks in the army of resenting the fact that immediate and unquestioning obedi- ence IS required of him. He quickly learns, however, that obedience en- forced throughout the army is in all situations the chief safeguard of the rights, the comfort and the safety of every man, from the raw recruit to the commanding general. It is a guar antee that the small number of unruly or cowardly men to be found in every group shall be kept in check and forced to comply with rules made for the benefit of all.
 Military discipline is always imper- sonal. Obedience Is required not merely of you, but of every man in the army. It is required of officers by their superiors with fully as much strictness as it is required of you. It
  are given authority over other men, to demand from them the same full measure of obedience that others will require of you.
 Discipline Is not only essential in developing the army, but also in de- your own character as a sol dier. "The soldier who is by nature brave, will by discipline become bray er."
 Physical Fitness.
 The third basic quality, physical f1t- ness, is so essential that, a large part of the time devoted to your training will be spent in building it up. Physi- cal fitness includes not only muscular developm ent but good health and en- durance as we'll. It Is a quality which every man who passes the physical ex- animation can develop in himself by care and by obedience to This is a subject more fully discussed in later lesson.
