My Dear Ladies of Pleasantyille
w. c. T. u
Some, quite a lot of days ago., | re-
ceived a Service Kit which was origin
ally sent direct from you. l sincerely
regret that l haven't answered to show
my appreciation for your kind gift be-
fore. 1t was only a neglect on my part
for which l have little excuse. Today
when looking over the Kit, l found
your note and had it not been for that
would probably have delayed until lat
er.
/ The Kit is one fine gift and one that
comes in handy for every soldier or
sailor. The safety pins are used for
everything from blocking your hat to
its original use. The thread and but
tons ready to put On. for we are al
ways missing buttons. The cotton,
the scissors, and tape which all come
in handy. And then the greatest OF
all is the Bible and the word of Whom
it represents. We are all very glad to
have the Bible for here in the service
we are brought to lean more upon our
Fathers word and help, than at home,
And I'm sure He is guiding us and
helping us do the great task remaining
before us.
We here in camp all like it great,
and are getting along fine. They af-
ford all kinds of amusement for us, so
we have a swell time. Some people
tell a lot of hardships we have to en-
dure, but for them 1 have no time.
The only thing one needs here is de-
termination and everything is easy.
We have no hardships whatever, and
those that tell such tales are merely
un-American.
But We deserve no credit whatsoev-
er. Our sacrifice is nothing whatever,
for anyone would do the same thing.
1t is you at home-the Mothers, Sweet
hearts, Sisters, who are doing noble
work for us-who are making the sac
rifice. You give up things that are
most dear to you and sacrifice every
thing, while we just one little thing.
You suffer and worry for us while we
are perfectly happy and content. What
can be as great as that which you do?
We are all determined to get the
Kaiser and can hardly wait till we get
over there. I'm sure he is in one sor-
ry mood about now.
Again l want to thank you for the
great gift, and hope you the greatest
success possible in your noble work.
Sincerely yours,
Pvt. SAM. w. IRELAND.

WARFARE TO BE DIFFERENT

The army of the future viii have an
immense equipment in artillery; the
infantry will be few In number, but

company armed with rifles. Trench

The airplane will be used, not only

signaling ranges to the artillery, for
raids on communications. and for
bombing a retreating army. but also
for the transport. on a large, scale, Of
infantry. One can easily imagine air
planes sufficiently large TO carry 50 or
even 100 infantrymen. A hundred
such planes could transport an army
of 10000 with incredible rapidity to
any point behind the hostile line de-
sired by the general In command. Such
movements Will make trench lines OBJ
solete. The whole art of war will
have to be rewritten from Its elements.
The development of the uses Of the air.
plane will change the strategical and
tactical direction of the war, from a
game comparatively elementary. like
draughts. into an elaborate and com
plicated game like chess, with greater
variety of moves and endless possibili-
ties of fresh combinations. Such
game will be too difficult TO be fought
with millions. With proper use of me-
chanical invention company of men
will be able to do the work of n divi-
sion In this war. We shall go back TO
the days of small professional armies
of long training and high technical
equipment; the great general OF the
future will be he who Is able to divine
best all the possibilities of this new
war movement, and military power
will no longer depend on numbers, but
on the genius of the direction and the

A Novel Dinner Bell,

A camp cook whose only means Of
calling the members of his party was
pounding on a pan with knife han
die was unable to make them hear
when they were fishing or hunting at
any considerable distance from the
camp. One of the party to whom he
complained thereupon made what he
called 'klepalo."
The "klepalo" was merely a piece Of
well-seasoned oak plank two inckes
thick, six inches wide and four feet
long. Through the center he bored a
hole, passed a rope through 1t and
suspended the plank from the branch
of a tree. The cook ''rang" the in
strument by striking 1t with a mallet.
first on one side and then on the
other.
The man who made the .klepalo"
had seen similar contrivances In small
Bulgarian villages. where they are
used instead of church bells to call
the people to worship. A test of the
instrument used by the campers
showed that in ordinary weather con-
ditions 1t could be heard two miles.
