Somethlnn TO Worry About.

As if we haven't already enough to
keep our minds busy, with war and the
high cost Of living And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermost re.
cesses of his pocketbook day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some OF
them-believe the sun is going to ex.
plode. One of them, writing in Pop.
ular Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre-.
diets It's finish as the leading figure
In our solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 93,000000 miles
from each side. thus giving its hot
center 1S6,00O,000 miles less of room
So you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like the

civilian population. Yet l ask you to
consider that too much consideration
borders on cowardice and that will be
punished very severely"
After this speech Of our captain we
were loaded on our autos and at a.
m. crossed the border into Belgium.
In order to make this a historical oc-
caslon we were. ordered to give three
cheers. On the speedy autos we
reached our goal at 10 a. m. II was
beautiful little rural village. Inhabi-
tants OF the villages we had passed
looked at US In establishment, so that
we all got the impression that these
country people never knew why we
came to Belgium. They were fright
ened out Of their sleep and looked out
at us from their windows.
AS we halted and left our autos, the
farmers came out and offered us cof-
fee, bread, meat, etc. We were still
without a field kitchen. so that we en-
joyed the enemy's offerings more so
since those OF the better class Of viii
layers refused any pay. They told us
the Belgian soldiers had departed TO
some unknown destination.
After a short rest we marched on
The autos returned. Hardly had we
marched an hour when we were oyer
taken by Cavalry, dragons and hus-
sars. who reported that the Germans
were marching all over the neighbor-
hood on all roads. Right behind came
the bicycle corps.
This was comforting. We no longer
felt alone, isolated In strange eoun-
try. Another bicycle division over
took US and passed on. Angry words
were now uttered BY members Of our
company. The others could ride but
We had to walk. What We had always
taken for granted suddenly became
great injustice. II II did no good our
grumbilng at least was 4 diversion
from the weight e nu pNes.

After brief pause we went ahead.
On the evening of August we reached
a farmyard near Duren. Our company
was billeted In a barn. No one knew
what we had to do. Ignorant of the
purpose Of our being sent so near the
Belgian border we laid down on our
beds of straw. Something had to
happen soon to rescue us from this I'M
certainty.
How few suspected that would be
the last night for many of us on Ger
man ground. An alarm took us from
our beds at a. m. The company
gathered and the captain demonstrate
ed the war situation. As to the direc-
ton of the march he himself was ig.
nOrant.
Scarcely half an hour later so big
trucks drove up and stopped on the
road before our quarters. The drlv-
ers also were ignorant and waited for
orders. Discussion of our destination
started afreSh. The orderlies who
had been keeping their ears open said
we would enter Belgium that day.
Others contradlcted them, no one
knew for certainty.
But the order to march did not come
and in the evening we went back to
our straw. But the rest was
short. At q. m. we were again
aroused and honored by a speech from
our captain. He said we were at war
with Belgium. He told us to show
ourselves brave. deserve the iron cross
and bring honor to Germany. Then he
continued:

This is a true story Of the

written by an officer Of the
German army who took part
in the mad rush toward
Paris. SiCkened by the
atrocities committed upon
civilians and soldiers, he de-

service and finally made his
way to the United States.
His disclosure Of the un-

Defence Opposed
In Boxing Rules
For Army Camps
New Code Like Queensberry
Favors Aggresslveness-
Judges Aid Referee

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Oficial
army boxing rules to govern boxing
contests among the million and q half
men in training were issued to-day by
che War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities. The new
code differs radically from the codes
commonly In use for the last ten or
fifteen years and resembles more par
ticuiarly the Marquis of Queensberry
rules, which laid stress on fast, clever
fighting. Greater credit Is given to the
boxer who is aggressive in spite of pun
shmcnt than to the one who covers up
or clinches.
"A million and half men Of the new
army. are being taught to box" says
athletic division Of the commission, in
statement accompanying the new
rules" because it develops in them those
qualities of alertness and pugnacity
which make them better bayonet fight
ers. Success in bayonet fighting de-
pends upon aggressive determination
and attack even more than upon tech
nical skill. Boxing develops this ag-
grcssiveness in offence. A fierce at
tackng forward action beyonet charge
means SO per cent quota of fighting
men returned to safety. That is one
important reason why the new boxing
rules set high premium upon often.
sive rather than on defensive fighting"
Penalty for Dodging
All back stepping, covering up and
purely defensive work are discouraged
under the army boxing rules and each
contestant is made subject to a penalty
for such work This latter recon-
mendation is direct departure from
the accepted standard Of ring strategy
which puts a premium on purely de-
fensive tactics.
blows constitutes the ground plan Of
the boxing programme. The mainte-
nance Of such a series of blows must
be taken into consideration in the
final Judgment of points. "The value
of attack cannot be overestimated and
should be considered a prime factor in
the alloting of points" it is stipulated.
The new rules which were formu-
lated upon consultation with the COM
mission boxing instructors in the vari
Gus camps lay particular emphasis
in the furthermost training Of the men
who are going to be bayonet fighters.
Under the army rules the referee is
shorn of much power. Many of his
active functions have been delegated
to two judges. each Of whom il as
sisted by a clerk. Fouls are clearly
defined and are within the jurisdiction
Of the referee, who may disqualifv i'm
mediately any contestant for attempted
unsportsmanlike tactics. Downs are
limited 20 the standard of ten seconds.
To gain fast action the time limit per
round has been made two minutes in
stead Of three minutes for novice
bouts. Four rounds will be boxed ex-
ccpt in the case of divisional cham
pionship contests, which may run six
rounds
