TO OBEY ALL ORDERS is
A RELIGION IN THE ARMY
Author, an Ex-soIdier, Gives Some
Sound and Kindly Advice
to Drafted Boys.
BY hAPsBURo LIE6E Of the visi-
antas


Iantes.
The writer Of this little message to
you boys has himself been an American
soldier, and he is very proud of that
fact. He knows army life, and he has
seen redhot fighting, and he knows the
ways Of officers.
/ will put 1t like this: | will simply
tell you what would do IL were go
ing into the army again. First, would
go into 1t with the rock firm intention
Of whipping Germany. / would look at
the matter just like that. Save that
would certainly not discount the i'm
portance Of anybody else, would be-
lieve, so far as 1t were possible, that
1t was up to me-to me myself-to give
Germany, the earths pariab nation,
the licking that is going to make all
nations safe In a world democracy.
And the moment was sworn into
the service l would resolve that. no
matter whether 1t suited me or not, |
would obey orders very strictly and to
the letter. That is the magic phrase
1t Is the religion Of the army-obey or
ders. During my time In the army no
man who lived up to that as his motto
could go through with term of en-
listment without having q chance OF
being made corporal or sergeant
or even a sergeant major. There are
few commissioned officers who will
overlook the enlisted man who never
disobeys an order when promotion be-
comes necessary. And In this war
men from the ranks are going to win
commissions, boys. Remember that!
But every man of the company, or
the troop, or the battery, or whatever
Ii happens to be, cannot be advanced,
you say. And you are right. But ev-
cry man can be soldier. How much
there is bound up In those three little
words! You'll know yourself after
awhile. A real dyed In the wool Amer
lean soldier, OF course, Is a gentleman
too. However, there is bound to
be chance for you to win your chew
rons. I've never yet seen the man who
tried hard for promotion, II he tried
honorably, who came out Of 1t pri-
vate. In spite Of their bluff military
manners, officers are just like you I'M
der the skin. They are quick to recog-
nize, and they are most heartily glad
to recognize, the golden qualities of a
soldier and gentleman In an enlisted
man. Remember that too.
Also remember this: You are In the
service to fight for your country and
not to make soldering trade. You
are going across the Atlantic for the
purpose Of whipping Germany and for
no other reason. SO long, boys, and
good luck to you. And may the good
God Of our fathers bring you back
to u.s.

The fire department chiefs Of every

LIBRARIES HELP
DURING WAR TIME


President Wilson said that we are
in war to make the world safe for
democracy" This is true, and it is
well. but the fact remains that par
amount duty confronts US, that of
keeping democracy safe for the world
This is where the work Of libraries
help, by furnishing books relating to
the war and countries engaged in it.
Adding military and army and navy
books to their collections.
Books on the present conflict, and
books describing the European coun-
tries engaged in war, are more called
for than any others, and kindred
topics. Now the aspect of ocean, pre-
sented in books, meet the eye in num-
bers of book lists. Libraries for
armies are proposed and collected, we
should try to prepare collections Of
books, and especially magazines those
commencing with January, 1917
All citizens should be of assistance
to the men who are to fight the bat
ties of democracy.
Just now the library, with greater
carnestness than ever before, should
stand together and strive to make the
library a force in the community.
We need to feel that a library is
more than merely a collection of even
choice books. The 1aodern adequate
library must be an institution for dis
tri0ution of all legitimate, modern,
educational tools. In the serious
days to come, men and women will
turn to books as never before.
Mothers are asking what their chill
dren can read during vacation. In
the library collections are books from
the fourth grade to high school, and
should become familiar with the
school children. To watch the deveI-
opment of book users you see the su-
preme value in the use of books and
libraries. More than anything else,
we need to think the library into our
consciousness.
Every citizen should be proud of
the library, feel its vital importance
and do their hest to promote ad-
vancement. Thinking men and wom-
en- who are willing to use that power
