An EXPLANATION.

There is no attempt. to concea
the merriment of officers here
over the exposure" of Theodore
Roosevelt in connection with the
training of men in. the National
Army camps. Nobody wants tc
be quoted directly, but the idea Of
officers here is that Mr.. Roose-
velt's exposures call for bit OF
explanation.
The Philadelphia North Aneri-
can published photographs OF
wooden guns and of blob sticks
to back up Col. Roosevelt's charge
that men are not using real
weapons, but only the imitation
stuff.
The fact is that in bayonet
sparring one man uses a real gun
and the other a blob stick or a
dummy gun. The idea is that the
man with the real gun and bay
onet make the attack. Even with
the best of defensive work the
bayonet makes many gashes in
the sticks. If two fairly we'll
drilled soldiers went at each other
with real guns, two guns would
be hacked UP SO badly that they
would be almost out of commits
sion. 1t might mean the Staying
of perfectly good soldiers to carry
on such realistic conflict.
The blob stick, therefore, is not
evidence of unpreparedness or a
makeshift. 1t is the very kind Of
a stick the Englishmen who are
giving the bayonet training are
using in their own training camps
in England, hence the charming
name for the stick itself. This
stick has loop in the end of it
The man attacking tries to get his
point through the loop while the
man on the defensive tries to keel
him from doing this. Other bay.
onet attacks are made against
men armed with long sticks with
pads on the end.
Wooden guns have been usec
at Meade by few units that were
slow in getting other ones. Three
types of guns have been used here
= the regulation Enfield, the
Springfield and the old Krags
For drilling all are equally useful
The training has never been re-
tarded for lack of arms.

The New Year.

o Infant Year, greet thee here,
So newly born and young;
Shall joy or fear be ever near

And us to light reload.
Let war and strife, now ever rife,
Be laid fore'er at rest,
And mortal life the martial fife
Reject from every breast.
Our hearts prepare with loving care
For Christ to enter in,
And each win bear his brothers share
OF grief and woe and sin.

And thou shalt rear, without q peer.

pairing for a more elaborate war

Perhaps we may soon read OF

fireplace in one, of the Y. NC. A.
buildings watching the blazing
pine and cedar logs. The time
had come when, fascinated by the
magic spirit Of the fire god, quiet
had come over. the fellows and
each was deep in reflection.
Thoughts came and went as the
sparks flew up the chimney, and
it seemed that each cracking of
a log typi6ed some new idea or
noble impulse as it flashed in
upon the mind and soul of each
inner consciousness.
But what held the group to-
gether? Not mere fireplace, not
few logs, nor even the fire itself,
but the warmth which radiated
and drew toward it with a mag
netism of hypnotic power the
minds and hearts of all within its
spell. All personal differences
were forgotten, if there were any !;
any individual =. idiosyncrasies
were consumed; all became one.
even as the individual logs lost
their identity and seemingly were
welded into one glowing mass.
Warmth-warmth of personal
ity, warmth of spirit and purpose,
warmth of love, human and
divine; ! warmth of friendship,
warmth of patriotic devotion,
warmth of loyalty to lofty ideals,
warmth that consumes the trivi-
alities and non-essentials and
YIELDS into one unconquerable
unit the mass of separate factors
and seemingly diametrical oppo-
sites.
Oh, yes, perhaps some were
thinking of the home fires"
Some were seeing faces in the
irelight's. glow. Some were
dreaming of personal ambitions
and aspirations, while some were
just wondering" Wondering just
what it all meant, and specializing
as to just what secrets the future
held in store for them, or as to
whether hoped-for careers had
been "side-tracked" or obliterated
forever.
We were impressed by para
graph written by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox the other day, where she
says, "A little loneliness isn't un-
endurable at all, though most Of
us get to be hysterical about it.
The loneliness that is uncomfortable
is soul loneliness-the hunger for
understanding felt by people who
have drifted into a different envi-
ronment."
Let us try to understand one
another a little better. 1t is hard
when all do not catch the same
point of. view. And the glow of
an understanding sympathy shall
kindle into devotion for a cause
such as has ever inspired the true
American breast. @
Lonely? They are safe. The
cheer and comfort of it all is, that
we are united for the protection
of that home, that Preside, that
career, that noble ideal, that God
given liberty. There is no desc
Grated hearthstone; no home

blighted childhood - no, these
things cannot be. The fire glow
of a. common cause and the
warmth of a common devotion
weld into one kindred spirit the
manhood of America!

one on the porch or in the front

could come to but one decision-they
would have to stay here for the
night.

when the man had shown them up to
the small, low-ceiling rooms. "Gad
How musty it smells. Why on earth
do these country people. where air
is so cheap, never have any in their

that it's OPEN"

Stevens and go down on the porch
for a smoke.
And then he added hastily: You're
tired. You'd better stay up
here. Wait: I'll shove this bed up
under the window. There, maybe you
can get some air that way"
AS he went down Helen heard him
tap on the door across the hall.
"Want to go down for smoke
Stevens
No, guess not, I'm pretty tired
Then she heard him going dowr
the narrow, uncarpeted stairs alone
And he wouldn't let her go with him
he didn't want her! He would
rather have Stevens or go alone.
She turned down the smoking oil
lamp, ,loosened' her collar ard belt
and threw herself on the bed by the
window. But the bedclothes were
damp and musty. She could not put
her face on that soggy little pillow.

ADJUSTMENTS
WASHINGTON'S SPIES
USED SECRET INK

Here are some early American spy
conditions, different from those shown
in the William Fox Special, 1.-THE
Spy" which shows at the Isis Mon
day for one day only.
During The Revolution, General
Washington arranged system of
espionage which extended for some
distance within the British lines.
Nathan Hale was one of the fore
most of these. Another was Major
Tallnladge, through whom all infor
nation was transmitted from the
spies to Washington.
At first this secret news was writ
| ten in sympathetic ink, then new
| invention and imported by General
| Lafayette. This fluid disclosed its
message only when the paper on
which it was written had been dipped
into another chemical.
General Washington was particu-
| larly cautious man, and he feared
that the British might be in posses
sion of the same kind of ink. So he
wrote to Tallmadge that the spies
should avoid making use of the
| stain (ink) upon a blank sheet OF
| paper which is the usual way of its
coming to me. This circumstance
alone is sufficient to excite suspicion.
"a much better way is to write a
letter in the Tory-style with some
mixture of family matters, and be-
tween the lines in the remaining part
of the sheet communicate with the
stain the intended intelligence.
"Such a letter would pass through
the hands of the enemy unsupported,
and even if the agent should be un-
faithful or negl5 ent, no discovery
would be made to his prejudice. as
these people are not to know what
is concealed writing in the letter and
the intelligent part of it would be
an evidence in his favor
| Another invaluable spy of Revolu-
tionary days was James Riving6on.
editor and printer of "The New York
Gazette" a paper which seemed to
side completely with the British. But
while he was outwardly supporting
| the Tories, Rivington, was conveying
secret information to General Wash
| ington.
During the Mexican War, Congress
made provision for an annual appro
priation of $4,000 for the "hire OF
interpreters, spies and guides for the
army" This appropriation has been
made consistently since that date.

Warren had thrown his linen buster
across a chair, and now she spread
that over the bed, the pillow and all.
There was a faint odor of his cigar
about the coat as she nestled down
upon it.
The old lump of hurt pride and re-
pressed love was again in her throat.
Why did she always want to be with
him, even when he showed so plainly
that he did not want her! Would she
never learn not to want him, not TO
depend on his presence for her hap
piness?
He was only walking up and down
the porch in the moonlight, smoking
a cigar. And yet he had not wanted
her with him. Was it because she
might hold to his arm or rub her
cheek against his shoulder? Was he
growing more and more to draw
away from her caresses ?"
"Oh, why, why had fate given her
this ceaseless yearning for love, and
then let her marry a man so cold
and undemonstrative.
Through the small, shadeless win
dow she looked up at the starr
Somehow it always comforted her
when she thought of the vastness of
the planets and the endless spaces
through which they moved. After
all, did it matter so very much? How
insignificant was her heartache in
the great scheme of things!
The smoking lamp fiickered lower
Outside the crickets and treefrogs
kept up their murmurous chorus.
And at last they soothed her TO
