cog" would not, on the instant.
grasp the situation enough to
understand what he must do.
He and other cogs with him
would instantly surrender to an
approaching enemy. But in the
case of an American recruit in
such an emergency, one OF these
would simply step from the ranks
assume command of the surviv-
ing company, platoon or squad,
his individuality recognized at
once, so much for the American
spirit and training.
Gen. Wood would have the
young commanders to respect
the feelings and failings of the
raw recruits they drill and train,
and so treat them that they
maintain their proper self re-
spect and proper spirit, ambi-
tious for success in all they are
commanded to do.
An American in company with
a German officer left q railroad
station at a town in Germany to
walk up the street. Two or three
Bavarian soldier from the farm
met them and stopped to behold
an American for their first time.
While their curious eyes were
riveted on the Americans face.
the German officer slashed them
across their faces with a riding
whip and stormed. ''out of the
way you starving FOOLS" We do
not anticipate such as this in our
American officers, especially
those who profit by Gen. Woods
advice to the. young American
officers.
Another instance of disregard
of the feeling self-respect of re-
cruits, and | am done. A CORES
pendent happened to be in or
near a sh II shattered church in
a town before Ypres, which was
filled with new Teuton soldiers
being given a drill in loading and
firing just before going to the
trenches. He heard an officer
below at them, Faster. you =
damn pig dogs, faster. Would
these soldiers be glad to give
their lives for that officer?
Gen. Wood, the country, wants
our American officers to show
kindness. consideration, patience
and self controli in drilling and
training the American recruits
put into their command TO train
for the most serious affair of the
country's life.

A RANKIN FLYER.
Chris Cooper Writes from Texas
Aviation fields.

So. San Antonio, Texas, 43rd
Squadron, Kelly Field. Aug. II,
1917. = Editor News: Would you
allow me a little space in your
paper to tell of the army avia-
ton corps?
We are out from town about 6
miles and are equipped with cars
to and from.
We use an immense territory
of prairie land for field flying
practice.
A large number of citizens
from the country surrounding
flock here to view the machines
as they sail upward.
There are as many as a dozen
in the air at once.
The boys work on machines
and are taught to fly them.
Mornings, the boys drill from
1880 until 1880; afternoons they
are given passes to visit town If
desired.
At supper time they march in
in single file, and are seated at
the long tables, which are sup
piled with meats, stew, water
melon, peaches and coffee ar tea
with buildings and pies with
jelly. We are we'll fed and the
food we'll prepa, ed.
After supper roll is called and
the boys make for the musical
instruments to pass away the
lonely afternoons and forget for
the moment the good homes they
left. When the music starts
there is singing and rejoicing.
because the men feel like life is
worth living to serve Uncle Sam.
We have good preaching on
Sundays, also a nice Y. M. c. A.
that uplifts the men in religious
way.
The boys that compose my
squadron are half from New Or
leans and nearby towns, while
the other boys are from the east
and west. We have learned to
like each other, and are willing
to fight side by side for our
country's cause.
Look out for the boys from old
Rankin; you will hear from them
later on in the conflict.
With best wishes to you and
all my friends,
Sincerely,
CHRIS. H. COOPER.

the war against Germany:
''The extraordinary insults and
aggressions of the imperial Ger

the opinion of our people in their
own behalf. When they found
that they could not do that their
agents diligently spread sedition
amongst us and sought by vio-
