Army and Navy News
Best Service Column i'm the City

"a salute is only one of the many
regulations that are made in order to
maintain discipline. Discipline is abb
solutely essential to the success of any
army. You will be safe in saying.
whenever you see an army go to
pieces, that it is due to lack of dis
cipline.
The charge that the salute is a
form of snobbery is foolishness that
would not be heard so often If the
origin Of the custom was more gen.
orally known. The salute comes down
to US from the days of chivalry.
In the old days when knight err
rants travelled through the country
they often passed one another. With
their visors lowered neither could rec
ognize the other. knights raised their
visors so other knights might see their
countenance. Naturally, the younger
knight, out Of courtesy, raised the
visor first.
That Is where We get the salute
from the courteous raising of the visor
by passing knights. And that is what
it is today"

The National Security League will

T. RS efforts to help the universal
military training drive may bring
about the defeat of the legislation,
so its friends shudderingly admit.
Their hope now is to keep Congress
from thinking that the Colonel wants
to interfere with the Presidents plan
of conducting the war.
