FRENCH WEED OUT
LEATHER TRAPPINCS

PARIS, Dec. 1s.-(By Mail to New
York. INCREASING misappropriation
of leather in the army, which was
pointed out In recent article on that
subject, has been Officially recognized
by the French government, and the
war office has been directed to ac-
quaint the heads of the various army
corps with the need of economy and
the necessity for the adjustment Of
useless leather equipment.
Sam Brown" belts. which the
French-and more recently-the
United army adopted, are to be
barred. The Sam Brown differs
from the ordinary belt in that it has
a leather strap passing over the Shout
der and hitched to the girdle in front
and back Thus the belt is practically
suspended from the shoulder and it
need not be tightly buckled.

WEEPING CLOWNS SHED THEIR TEARS
TO TOUCH A MILLION FuNNYBONES
Modern Circus Funny Men Are of
Happy Temperament and Enjoy
the Laughter They Create.

When you see the sixty clowns cav
orting in the arena Of the Barnum &
Bailey circus, which will be here Tues.
July 10 don't let your mind revert to
"Pagliacci," nor any other woe-be-
gone huffoons of far-fetched iraagina-
tions or occasional actualities. They
were all very we'll for the days of one
clown circues, when it was necessary
for the success Of the show that the
poor clown go or with his merry jests
and quips when his heart ached with
sorrow or throbbed with a murder
lust.
Things are different nowadays.
There is an army Of clowns with the
big modern circls, and if tragedy oc-
casionally enters the lives of the mer-
ry men they are excused for anr
length Of time that may be required
to heal their wounded feelings. If
they are ill they are we'll cared for and
if they are not in the mood for fun
they are founded to be the equal of
any prima donna in temperamental
abandon. There may be an occasional
love sick clown, but his pangs are soon
subjected to tie euthanasia of his
merry surrouni lgs.
As matter Of fact the circus clown
is usually temperamentally fitted for
the business of making people laux"
He must have a Elithessome mind al.>.
an appreciation of clean humor to be
a clown in big: modern circus. Us
ually he is as happy in his dressing
room as he appears to be when before
the audience and in almost every case
he enjoys the laughter he is creating
as much as those who watch his antics
All in all the clown life is merry
one and a few ere the tragedies that
encorach on his cavalier attitude to-
ward life and people.
While the clowns create the fun
there will be many thrilling and ed
ucational features in this seasons big

with a spectacular pageant, aladdin

GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT
Asphyxiating Shells Fired in Great
Quantities by Both Sides in Strug-
giles on British Front.

Andre Tudesq, writing of the battles
on the British front, says there was
such an expenditure of asphyxiating
shells one day that six hours after the
last deluge of them suffocating smells
We're still passed through.
Lavish expenditure of gas on both
sides form characteristic of the flu
rious attacks and counter-attacks
which have been delivered day and
night round these two villages. The
mask is here as precious as the
grenade or the rifle.
As in a frightful carnival. in the
manner Of Edgar Allan Poe, one could
see in the night on the slopes west of
Fresnoy entire regiments in masks,
fighting and killing each other in the
midst of black vapors. which were
rendered more fantastic by the light of
the moon.
The hand-to-hand struggle thus took
on most singular forms. Throwing
away their arms the combatants would
fly at each other throats and try to
tear away each others masks. Few
prisoners We're taken in these encoun-
tiers, and the wounded are fewer still.
Death alone receives the lions share

THE FUNDAMENTAL POSITION OF
THE SOLDIER.

The young soldier, before he can
handle gun, must learn how to han
die himself. He must learn that there
are right ways and wrong ways of
carrying his arms and legs, just as
there are with a rifle. He must learn
how to stand, how to walk.
The boy on the street usually stands
on his heels, with his shoulders
slouched over, his stomach thrust for
ward and his spine curving in and out
like an hour-glass. Literally, he has
no Backbone" Backbone is the first
essential of the soldier.
The position of soldier does not re-
quire that he shove his chest ahead of
him like a bay-window, or stiffen his

The squad consists Of eight men. IN

The squad consists of eight men, In
two rows of four. 1t Is under the COM
mand of corporal. Two squads form
a section, under the command of SER
geant. Three sections lat peace
strength) form platoon and two pla-
toons a company. Four companies
make q battalion; three battalions, plus
a headquarters company, a machine
gun company. and supply company,
regiment.
The young soldier learns that as the
squad moves, so the company or the
regiment moves. He learns that II he
individually executes the orders he re.
ceives in the appointed space and at
the appointed moment, whole regi-
ment may wheel from squad to com
pany front and back again, for exam
pie, without the loss of step. Each
part of the machine will fit perfectly
into place. On the other hand, If he as
an individual falls down in his part,
the squad evolution is spoiled, the
symmetry of the company is broken
and the whole regiment suffers in con-
sequence. The responsibility rests
upon each man-this the young soldier
must learn. And he must also learn
that discipline is the quickest means
yet devised to give any body Of sol
diers that perfect team work, that au-
tomato, unconscious coordination
without which battles and campaigns
cannot be successfully planned and
fought.
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1917-06-29
THE SOLDIERS RESPONSIBILITY

A soldiers muscles must not only be
strong-they must be elastic. He must
be prepared to run, to jump. to crawl,
to wriggle, to shoot or to handle the
hayonet from the most unexpected po-
sitions. That is why he is put through
the settling-up exercises. BY bending,
thrusting with his arms and legs, rails
ing himself from the floor, his body is
made athletic and supple for every
demand which may be imposed upon 1t.
Military discipline begins with the
muscles, must be impaired to the
nerves, and become imbedded in the
brain.
A rounded shoulder is slack rope.
The soldier whose body says out of
shape spends almost as much energy
in pulling himself together as he does
in the specified motion itself. On the
other hand, the man whose muscles
are disciplined is at balance, ready
at once to respond to any command
from the brain. When mans muscles
are soft, they sullenly resent all orders
| from the brain. They have not learned
to obey.
The nerves must be even more strict
Iy disciplined. For even if soldiers
| muscles are trained to execute any or
der he receives, If his nerves run away
with him, good legs only carry him
faster. And discipline of the mind Is
most important of all, for the mind adj
ministrates through the nerves.
A disciplined mind will think precise
iy. That is why military training re
quires that a soldier speak precisely
that he follow correct forms in receiv-
ing and transmitting orders, in making
out reports, in addressing letter. The
crispness Of military intercourse does
not stunt mental development. But
war is the most exact of modern
sciences and soldier must strive te
become exact. In other words, he Is
simply taught how to think--not what
to think.
AS soon as a. soldier begins to think
he will understand his place In group
formation. He will learn that the han
ding of large bodies of men pivots
upon the handling Of a squad. He will
familiarize himself with his work In Q
squad, and Ia that way discover his
importance to the command as whole

head, or spread his feet painfully. The
position of a soldier might be most
quickly and correctly obtained If a
man could be taken by hair and lift
ed up until every part of his body
except his feet became suspended.
This would establish the natural YER
teal alignment. With the weight rest
ing equally upon the balls of the feet
and the heels, the waist drawn in, and
the head properly raised, straight
line would pass approximately from
the balls of the feet through the belt
buckle to the chin. The body is then
at the balance, with the muscles re-
Taxed, not rigid. The soldier is now
in position to execute any order which
may be required of him.
Specifically, according to the regula-
lions, the heels are placed on the same
line, the feet turned at an angle of
As degrees; the knees straight without
stiffness; hips level and drawn back
slightly; body erect and resting equal
ly on the hips; chest lifted and arched !;
shoulders square and falling equally I;
arms and hands hanging naturally,
thumb along the seam of the trousers.
I'm past times, the little finger was
placed along the seam of the trousers
with the palm turned out, producing an
artificial rigidity which does not be-
long to the modern American soldier.)
The head must be erect and squarely
to the front, chin drawn in so that the
axis of the head is vertical, with the
eyes also straight to the front.
This is the fundamental position OF
the soldier. 1t Is the position of at
| tention, the basic command to which
every soldier responds. 1t is from the
position of attention that all move
ments of the soldier proceed. 1t fol
lows that until a soldier has mastered
the art, or science, of standing at at
| tention easily and naturally, he cannot
properly execute the movements of the
drill. 1t is therefore highly important
that the young soldier school himself
to stand properly, or at attention, un
til such time as that pose becomes
unconsciously as much a part OF his
being as his arms or legs.
A man who can instantly assume the
position of attention and hold II until
otherwise ordered has taken a very Inn
portant step toward becoming a good
soldier. He has learned big lesson
in physical. nervous and mental
discipline.
