lie, Protestant and Jewish SER

Irregular Fellows"
The secretaries are regular
fellows" They have made their
huts popular clubhouse. As long
as a soldier Is at the Y. M. G. A.
he isn't out filling up on cheap
wine, which flows like water over
here.
In these huts are music, games,
writing tables with plenty of free
stationery, soft drinks of all
kinds, candy, cigars and cigarets.
Yes, cigarets. Don't be shock
ed. Exactly SO per cent of all
soldiers in France use tobacco,
mostly cigarets. When they can't
get good cigarets they buy bad
ones.
The Y. M. C. AS cigarets are
the best to be had and they sell
them cheaper than anybody else.
A young Y. M. G. A. secretary
the other day wrote his chief: =
1.-The crowd here kidded me
along until had to put on the
boxing gloves with the regimental
champion or lose my standing az
an athlete, and you know !

No wonder the soldiers
are warming up to such TEL

He'll have 'em all reading
out of their Bibles before
Christmas.

soldiers how to entertain them

Recently a call went out for
soldiers to write secretaries what
they could do. One mule skinner
wrote:

been a marked improv ement in
the moral atmosphere of the
American camp since the Y. M.
G. A. got under full steam, yet the
soldiers themselves wouldn't be
able to explain it.
Feed En- First.
The other day word came that
contingent from America would
arrive and couple of Y. M. G. A..
secretaries were dispatched to
meet the ship.
One, the older, had recently left
the ministry for army Y. NJ. c, A..
work. The other was a former
Wyoming cow-puncher who got
religion year or two ago.
They stood on the dock waiting
for the Americans.

preacher, lis to organize our Bible

ings going"

replied the cow-puncher.

soldiers is to fill their bellies
with candy and decOy them
into our circus tent to write
letters to their mothers and
sweethearts.

The cow-puncher represents the
spirit of the Y. M. c. A. in France.
The prime objects are to bene-
fit young men in MIND, BODY,
and SOUL.
Huts Are damned.
You can't get soldiers soul
until you have done something for
his mind and body.
Practically all American army
athletic activities are in charge of
the Y. M. C. A. secretaries. While
not encouraging Sunday sports,
they do not oppose them. With
diplomacy they have arranged
that practically all the Sunday
sports come in the afternoon.

Women In the grand army OF
Gamers ought to see not a single
peach is wasted this year.
Peaches can be canned with
much less labor than is required
for putting up most fruits. They
will keep without sugar, If prop
erly sterilizzed; they may be dried
by the electric fan or over the
kitchen range; or by the sun.
To be in the best condition for
canning, peaches should be ripe
but moderately firm. The fruit
should be graded according to size
and softness before pared: Set
aside the soft, wormy or inferior
fruit for "pie fruit" or marmalade
or leather"
Peaches should be pared with
a silver knife to prevent discolora-
ton. Or they may be scalded and
the skin rubbed or seraped off.
With the clingstone varieties, the
product is probably finer II the
fruit Is halved before pairing.
CANNED PEACHES
Peaches should be rinsed in cold
water, packed into hot Jars and
covered with syrup Immediately
after pairing. Otherwise the sur
face turns dark. Hot syrup prev
iously prepared should be poured
over the fruit al once. Before
packing a second jar, place rub
bers and caps in position, but do
not tighten the covers. Set jars
in a water-bath or cold-pack
twash-boiler) outfit Sterilize 10
minutes, take from boiler, tighten
covers, invert to cool Wrap in
paper to prevent bleaching before
storing.
DRIED PEACHES
Peel and slice ripe peaches,
string and hang in the sun, pro-
tected from insects. Or spread on
clean boards and dry in the oven
or with an electric fan; or use a
commercial evaporation. "Condi-
ton" the fruit, tnat is turn it and
mix it several times during the
drying process so the product may
be uniform. Store In small guam
titles in paper bags or boxes.
PEACH LEATHER
Peel and crush very ripe
peaches, spread the pulp on plat
ters and dry in the oven. When
thoroly dried, the pulp should be
as tough as leather. Roll it up
and seal in bags. When needed
for use, soak over plight and stew
with sugar.
PEACH MARMALADE
For each pound of vared and
sliced fruit allow "a pound of
sugar. Mash the fruit, add the
sugar and mix we'll. Turn into n
crock, cover, and bake In the oven
for several hours. Stir occasional

LESSON No. 21--ExGemded- Order Dtill

/ VIII learn in time that troops standing
on the defensive behind entranchments
seldom fire upon an advancing enemy
with stcadncSs and accuracy, The
greater determination and energy YOU
and your comrades show in the ad-
vance the smaller will be the chances
of your suffering severely from the
encmy'S fire.
The advance OF a company in extend
ed order is directed by commands
transmitted to the individual soldiers
chiefly by the use Of signals, since the
noise Of the firing makes it impractical
bic to use the voice effectively
Practice Fighting
The problem Of each individual sol
dler is TO obey the commands and al
the same time 10 use his own Judgment
and skill in taking advantage OF cover
as he advances II is especially impor-
tant that YOU should obey at once any
directions that may he given to you as
to rcSeltlng the sights on your rifle and
that the rapldity Of your firing should
be controlled by the orders OF your cap
taip
Going step beyond the extended
| order drill, your company and regiment
will take part in field and combat ex-
erciscs, in which conditions and move
ments OF actual warfare are reproduced
as closely as possible Here you will
put into practice everything learned
during your previous drilling You will
practice correct methods Of attacking
and OF defending yourself, both with
the rifle and bayonet and with other
weapons now IN use. Don't fail to en-
ter into the spirit OF these exercises with
as much enthusiasm and intensity as
II YOU were on the actual battle field
Use your imagination See hhe enemy
in front of you and act precisely as YOU
would act il the enemy were real Only
in this way can YOU get the full benefit
OF these exercises.
Don't fail TO keep in mind also that
you are member Of big team and
that every member plays an important
part in contributing to thr success Of
the team "Thc one requisite necessary
to win the battle is intelligent team
work The army is handled Just like
football team. A part is on the first
line facing the enemy. Another part,
like the half backs, is held back as sup
ports. Another part, like the full back,
is held as a reserve. Each unit. like
each player. has certain duty to per

Extended order drill will give your
squad its first lesson IN the methods oi
advancing against enemy lines actually
used in present day warfare. You Will
first be shown how TO deploy as sklr'
misherS Moving at & run you and the
other men will place yourself IN one
rank the interval between men beng
about fifteen inches, instead OF tour
inches, as in close order drill This Is
the simplest form of deployment, which
may be roughly defined as spreading
out a body OF troops III thin, open line,
so that they may more easily advance,
even in the face Of enemy fire.
This means that you become to a
greater extent an indcpcndeiy unit.
When pushing forward in skirn'sh lines
you must rely in part on your own in
itiatiyc and judgment
The next step IN extended order drllI
is to practice kneelng lying down and
advancing at a run In the meantime,
you will be getting practice also in rifle
loading and little later will begin to
carry your rifle wien advancing as d
skirmisher, and to practice loading,
aiming and firing from the skirmsh
line.
Use Of Cover.
One OF the most important features OF
this part of your training will consist
Of learning to conceal yourself from the
view Of the enemy by taking advantage
Of hillocks, trees, heaps OF earth, rocks,
gullcs, bitches, doorways, windows or
any other cover that may be at hand.
Your object is to reach the enemy The
more skillfA YOU are in the use Of
cover the smaller the chances Of your
being disabled during the attack
But you are not TO remain too long IN
one place, no matter how well you may
be concealed Your value as a soldier
depends on your ability to advance from
cover to cover, always selecting before
you leave one place the position you are
going to occupt Learn that "a man
running rapidly toward an enemy fur
nished a poor target" Remember also
that a man lying flat on the ground is
not easily observed from the ensmy'S
lines
This principle applies also il you are
ever fired upon while scouting or acting
independently; drop to the ground and
seek cover, and then try to locate the
enemy
These arc some of the main points TO
keep in mind many others will come mp
during your training. Gradually you will
become highly skilled III this form OF
attack No, only will your skill in
crease, but also your confidence Yoy
