ton at Camp Travis. Every move
ment made by every soldier Of this
( command must be made with a dis
tinct purpose This is the opinion
of Mai. Gen. Henry T. Allen, com
mandinE the goth division. national
army, who has recently returned from
a careful inspection OF the English,
French and American troops in the
war zone Of France
The absolute necessity for a CO.
ordination Of physical activity with
mental activity is apparent to those
who have seen service or nave visited
the fronts in Europe" said Gen. Al
/ len With this end in view. the SOL
diers Of Camp Travis are to be given
a thorough course Of training Of such
nature that win call into play not
only the muscles Of the BODY. but the
muscles Of the brain.
The success Of the allies in a great
measure can be attributed" he said,
TO the fact that the average soldier Of
the allied armies is q clearer thinker.
and q more concise thinker, than is
the German soldier. The German SOL
der is often driven. while the soldiers
of the allied forces are led into COM
bat Without their officers. il has
been shown that the German forces
break down, This is not true in the
allied forces, where non-cOmmis-
stoned officers and even men without
rank have stepped into the breach at
the proper time and led their respec-
tive units TO victory or safety"
1t is the development OF men in the
ranks who are capable Of leading
when the occasion demands that Gen
Allen Is intending. He SAYS the men
themselves cannot be choosers Of the
time or place. For this reason il is
necessary that every soldier be able
TO think and act that he know and
understand clearly what should be
done and does f. In order that minds
may be kept continually active. the
plan is in operation whereof officers
and men alike must think when they
act
