RESENTMENT AND ARRovAL


Last night, at the Public Con-
cert, several U. S. Jackets, mag
ming that they were at Coney
Island, turned the Plaza into a
regular dancing hall, and the gen.
eral public, ladies included, had
to step aside, not exactly to ad-
mire the couples, but because the
artists needed the whole place
for their Waiting stunt. If there
the local police have jurisdiction
over the sailors, in eases like this,
we do not were any policemen in
sight, or it know but would like to
know.
When, later on, the band played
the "Star Spangled Banner the
"Marsaillese" and our regional
air. the "Borinouena', sailors and
soldiers at the plaza uncovered and
remained at attention, as it should
be: but the civilian element took
their hats off only when the first
two hymns were played, and rem
aimed seated and unconcerned
when the i'Borinqudna's' tune
filled the air. OF course, they did
not know that this is the rational
hymn Of Porto Rico, but Why they
failed to initiate the soldiers and
the sailors we don't know.
We resent very much having to
print tho first part Of this item,
and on the other hand express our
thanks to the Jackies and Khaki
clad gentlemen for the lesson

please remomber rext time.
DISCIPLINE BIGGEST
FACTOR IN SUCCESS.
BY BRIG.-GEN. E. R. CRIS-
MAN
1t is a pleasure to be able to
state that La Revista Militar has
been a distinct feature of the Of
ficers' Training Camp. It's contents
have been interesting and instruct
i've and all who have been connect
ed with this little periodical are
entitled to praise and thanks for
their work.
Having been requested to write
two hundred words for its final
edition for the present, there is
the one subject that suggests it
self over and above scores of others
that are of importance. The stud
ents who have pursued the course
at the camp, soon to close, have
undoubtedly been impressed with
with the value and necessity OF
Discipline, the most comprehen-
sive factor in military life as il
probably is in most other voca-
tions. 1t is to be hoped that the
students have learned by this time
in their lives how to discipline
themselves according to conscience
and law. That is the first thing
we must learn. An underlying
requisite absolutely basic is supe-
rior knowledge of the work
wherein discipline is TO be applied.
Then comes the art of handling
men. More than one-half~ of a
man IS success in the military pro-
feSsion is directly traceable to his
knowledge Of this art. in which
nothing hut square dealing can be
employed Discipline is due res
pect TO constituted authority.
Constituted authority must be
worthy-must make itself worthy

LINC0LN'S ADVICE TO WAR
CRITICS
Lincoln was no enemy of worth
while criticism. But when man
! told him something was wrong, he
wanted that same man to tell hin
also how to make it right. He al
ways objected to criticism that
was merely Objection-the criti-
cism Of the professional crouch (oi
which we have plenty in the pres
ent war just as he had IN the Clvll
War; and here is what he said to
such critics:
Gentlemen, suppose all the
property you were worth was in
gold. and you had put it in the
hands of Blondin, the tight-rope
walker, to carry across the Niaga-
ra River on a rope. Would you
shake the cable and keep shouting
out to him: 'Blondin, stand up a
little straighter-Blondin, stoop a
little more to the north-lean a
little more to thA south?' No; you
would hold your breath as well as
your tongue, and keep your hands
off until he waYsafe over.
