AWKWARD SQUAD SUPPLANTED BY
 LAME BATTALION

PARIS.-"The awkward squad", familiar at the beginning of all citi- zen armies, has now been supplanted by the flame" battalion, designed to reestablish the men who have gone through the fire and to fit them for future service.
 So successful has the idea of a flame" battalion been that from 70 to 80 per cent of the soldiers re- ceiving wounds in the legs or suffer- ing from the usual foot and leg maladies of trench warfare have been restored to their full combat strength.
 The new course involves instruc- tion of the wounded and weakened soldier, in the proper posture of the body and it's use in walking, run ming and riding. Special drills lave been devised to overcome the habits into which the invalided soldier has fallen. Instruction is given in the care of the feet while special atten- tion has been given to the foot and leg cases in the hospitals.
 Men with specially troublesome feet, weak backs, general bad pos ture or lack of endurance are sent to the special training battalion, where the fully erect, alert position of the body is emphasized. Four companies have been established in the battalion, with progress increas- ingly difficult so that the schedule of the fourth company is only slight ly below that required for full com bat fitness.
 ] United States army medical off. cers report that 'experience has shown that from one-third to one half of the ordinary deformiti re. suiting from gunshot wounds are preventable. Surgeons must free themselves from thei. tendency tc treat the wounds and forget the function; to make a we'll man but not working one."

 OF HAPPY CAMP
Jack Kindly Is Transferred From Nenana to the Camp at
 Fairbanks.

J. E. Kindly left today on the steamer Panama for Fairbanks from which place he will proceed to the Alaskan Engineering commissions camp at the end of steel from the Happy station. He will have com plete charge of this camp as fore man.
 Jack Kindly first entered the service of the A. E. C. as foreman and was in charge of the work done by the men of old camp 12, situated about fifteen miles south of town along the old right of way. A sec tion of the road was graded in the neighborhood of this camp on force account under the direction of Mir. Kindly.
 When Lost Slough first began to give trouble and started to tear it's way across the railroad, Kindly and his gang of men with the teams at tached to old camp 12 were trans i ferred to the north bank of the slough to help the men there curb the floods. He remained there and was twice compelled to move his entire camp suddenly, owing to the encroaching waters.
 i He was afterwards placed in charge of the men constructing a wing dam across the head of Lost Slough from its northern bank, which position he held until the work was completed.
 1 He has had considerable railroad experience and will, no doubt, dc good work on the Fairbanks end of the government railroad

A Word to the Weary

If Won find you're up against it, and things go

And you feel your knees grow weaker, when they
used to be so strong,
As YOU shiver from the rigors of the storm.
II your room is cold and cheerless and there isn't
And you feel as if you'd like to kneeI and pray,
Why don't you go and listen to the Tabernacle
choir?
You'll be as welcome as the flowers are in May!
Now no matter if you're seedy, and your shoes
are on the blink,
You will get as much attention as highly polish
If you really seek salvation from your sin.
Billy Sunday plays favorites, to him you're all
Repentant sinners always look the same;
His main ambition is to make the imp OF dark
ness hike,
And save your souls from everlasting flame!
There's great big Tabernacle, and you'll always
find it hot,
If you suffer from the rigors of the storm;
With very touching sermon, that is bound to
touch the spot
AS it "Brightens Up the Corners" with charm.
Some may designate it slangy, but the sermons
It's the sort of slang that stirs the, very soul

That Billy may be with us as of yorc,

Speeding Up in Congress.

Having decided to close down industry, the ad-
ministraton has decided to speed up" Congress.
The discovery that we were making war too fast
came almost simultaneously with the discovery
that Congress was making law too slowly
The excess of production" of which the Fuel
Administrator complains obviously applies neither
to army ordnance or to Congressional statute
making, and in the latter there is no director
general to decide that "rest cure" is the only
thing that will do the patient any good. The ad-
ministration prescrbes more work and less play
for Congress-such play" has been exempAed
in the current Investigations, for instance.
Speaker Clark says that high speed is neces-
sary so that Congress may adjourn at reasonably
early date, adjournment being necessary so that
Democrats get home and put their fences in
order for the coming elections in November.
Evidently the Speaker anticipates that the
fences will stand awful lot of fixing, and he isn't
betrayng any dark secret in that admission, either.
Within few hours after DR.. Garfield issued his
justly celebrated order there were political
tombstohes floating around in the imaginations Of
the Capitol Hill folk than in many and many a
moon.
But that's partsanshp. However, little touch
of partsanship now and then is reshed, by the
most patriotic of men. "The for democracy is
more democracy" some said. The admin
istration revses this to read: "The cure for the
Democratic party is more Democratic party" The
revision may may not be accepted by the coun-
try. We would be ashamed to voice such secular
doubts even with bated breath if we did not know
that the matters hereby committed to type were
not weighing very heavily minds of numerous
gentlemen in Washington, who were doing lip serv-
ice to and brain service lowell politics, since
that is an all-incusive word
