strain and intense activity. He grows accustomed to the noise of heavy fr- ing. He gets practice in handling his rifle and his bayonet with skill, so that he becomes confident of his abil- iu to defend himself, He learns how to advance over ground apparently swept by bullets without exposing himself to really effective fire. He grows used to the idea of meeting enemies face to face in battle.
 All your training as a soldier will work toward putting you into condi- aon to meet the test of battle when the times comes with true American spm.-wttb the intelligence and cow- age that make eventual victory cer- tain.
 Private soldiers are not required Go study tactical problems. These are solved by the higher officers. But ev- cry man should thoroughly under stand the following elementary pro- clpIcs of combat:
 
 1. The offensive wins.
 Battles are won by the individ- uar soldier It is cmphatically up to- him. Splendid leadership and fine equipment are of avail only when each private does his utmost.
 8. Victory depends more on nerve and fighting spirit than on the best weapons and umor in the world
 Importance of the Attack
 Defensive action alone never wins victories. The army which succeeds must be ready and anxious to attack.

There are many advantages in taking the offensive. The destruction of hos tile trenches by heavy bombardment preceding the attack weakens the enemy's spirit and sometimes leads to the surrender of men who are in no condition to withstand assault. The chief advantage, however, is the fact that the attacking side chooses its own time and place to strike, forcing the enemy to readjust his defences ac- cordingly,
 It is always possible in battle for good infantry to defeat an enemy greatly superior in numbers, but lack ing in training, discipline, leadership and morale" (Infantry Drill Regu- lations, par. 354) In another place in the Regulations it is well remark ed that modern war requires but one kind of nfantry-good infantry" Remember, too, in this connection an other statement in the Regulations, which has been previously quoted, to the effect that discipline lis the dis unguishing mark of trained troops"
 All these remarks tend toward one conclusion, namely, that the discipline of the Army is a big factor in giving men the tenacity which enables them to go into battle with dauntIess cow- age and to win victories. Discipline can accomplish wonders even among men who are naturally lacking in brains and self-reiance. It can ac- compish a great deal more, however, among those who possess these nat ural qualities.
 Men who are thoroughly disciplm- ed, and yet within the limits of discj- plme possess the priceless quality of initiative, make ideal soldiers. They are the men who can always be trust ed to pull themselves out of tight places, to carry attacks through until success is won, to hold out against all odds.

LESSON MO- 80
THE SOLDIER IN BATTLE

The average civilian no matter how brave he may be. has Htue desire to go into battle. Even though he knows very well that che chances of his being killed or severely wounded are comparatively small yo, the though, of placing himself in 8 post of danger face to face with a wel- trained md courageous enemy is more or less terrifying to him.
 This state O. mind is entirely nar- ural Every man goes through t, The braves, soldiers of the Civil War and of an wars testify to ,actr dread of entering battle; bu. this Is feeling that can be conquered even by man who is physically imtd It is related that a veteran soldier was observed by one of his comrades just before che Battle of Seven Oaks to be white and trembling and was approached with being scared. "Ycs," he replied. "lt YOU were ouc-half as scared as ! m you'd be making a dash for the rear Ninety per cent of the men now fight ing SO damtessIy in Europe have doubtless passed through similar eN- peuence and hold themselves in the path of duty only through mastery of their physical fears.

ORDER REPAIR
OF PAVEMENTS
ON SOUTH SIDE
City Will Not Accept Work
Until This Ic Done,
Commission Decides

A resolution ordering the immedi-
ate repair of all pavement and curb
i'm the Third, Fourth and Fifth
wards, laid in 1912, on which the
guaranty period is about to expire
was unanimously passed by the city
commission at a special meeting
Thursday evening.
The guaranty period on the most
of this paving expires on or shortly
after Oct. /, but according to the
contract the contractors must give
the city 80 days notice Of expiration
of the period. This notice has not
been given.
The contractors affected by the
resolution are s. Birch g. Sons and
? James Kennedy. Neither had been
served with notice TO noon today, but
no difficulty is anticipated in either
case. In fact, both contractors have
expressed their willingness to make
repairs necessary, and put the paw
ing and curb in shape for final &C
ceptance by the city.
The condition of paving and curbs
on the south side was called to the
attention of the commission by
Frank L. Anders, city engineer
Thursday morning. Some portions
would have to. be reconstructed, he
said. -
The city is protected, however, to
, the amount of any possible damage
by heavy bonds covering each con-
tract. These bonds are operative for
the period of the guaranty.
Other angles of the present paving
situation will be taken up at anoth-
er special meeting of the commission
this afternoon. Action probably will
be taken that viii permit the city to
order the suspension of paving opera
tons as soon as the weather becomes
unfavorable for the performance of
good work.
