THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS
TEN COMMANDMENTS

l. Keep your eyes on the ready,
your ears at full cock and your mouth
at the safety notch, for it is your SOL
dierly duty to see and hear clearly;
but as rule, you should be heard
mainly in the sentry challenge or the
charging cheer.
9. Obey orders first, and, IL still
alive, kick afterwards, If you have
beer wronged.
3 Keep your rifle or gun and your
accouterments clean and in good or
der, and yourself as clean as you
can; treat your animals kindly and
fairly and your motor or other ma
chine as though it belonged to you
and was the only one in the world.
Do not waste your ammunition, your
gas, your food, your time, nor your
opportunity.
4. Never try to fire an empty gun
nor at an empty trench; but when
you shoot, shoot to kill, and forget
rot that at close quarters, bayonet
beats a bullet.
5. Tell the truth squarely, face the
music, and take your punishment like
man; for good soldier won't lie,
doesn't skulk, and is no squealer.
6. Be merciful to your foes and
shame them not, for you are man;
pitt and shield the children in your
captured territory, for you were once
a helpless child.
7. Bear in mind that the enemy is
your enemy and the enemy of hu,
mainly until he is killed or captured,
then he is your dead brother or your
follow soldier beaten and ashamed,
whom you should not further humili'
ate.
8. Do your best to keep your head
clear and cool, your body clean and
comfortable and your feet in good
shape; for you think with your head
fight with your body, stand and
march with your feet.
\ 9 Fear dishonor, dread defeat, be
of good cheer and high courage. and
don't shirk work or danger.
20. Fear not death, dread moi
wounds, suffer in silence and dit
game.

UNAVAILABLE MATTER

Notwithstanding the notices that
have been issued from time to time,
warning the public against sending
articles in packages to
members of the American Expedition
arv Forces in France, systematic
examination at New York and Chica-
&c discloses that unavailable articles,
such as matches, alcohol, explosives
and inflammables, continue to be
found in packages, even though the
packages themselves are marked by
rostmasters as containing no prohib-
tied articles.
che Postal Department in Washing
ten has called the attention of post
masters to these serious instances Of
violations of the regulations, and for
the information of senders and all
others interested, attention is drawn
to the fact that it is a violation Of the
law to knowingly place in the mails
packages containing articles known
to be unavailable, for which violation
the revised statutes provide a penalty
upon conviction Of a fine of not more
than $4,000 or Imprisonment not more
than ten years, or both.
Postmasters, under Section 584, are
directed to exclude from the mails all
unavailable matter, and they are con
secuently responsible for the admis-
sioi. of unavailable matter when such
matter is found in the mails, besides
j this, they may be held jointly respon-
sible with the senders of the unmail-
able matter, should fire or explosion
result from the presence of unmail-
able matter in the mails, whether the
fire or explosion occur in this country
or abroad.
In view of the strict accounta-
bility to (which postmasters will be
held hereafter for the admission Of
unavailable articles in the mails, it Is
necessary for postmasters to see tc
It that senders are fully informed as
to the articles that are not mailable
and moreover to examine PACKAGE
for articles prohibited, which articles
If found, should be returned to tn,
senders, who should be informed O
the law, and warned that a violation
of the law will be dealt with through
the proper legal authorities.

PEACE NOT TO
AFFECT PLANT
Government Assures Root and VAN
der WORT Employees That Work
Will Continue.

With the insistent reports OF
signing an armistice and with the
prospects of such an event occur
ring at any time, much inquiry is
being made as to the future of the
Root and VanDervoort war actiyi-
ties in the event of an early peace
Announcement is made today from
the r. & V. Engineering company
and the r. & V.-Wagner Ordnance
company, that declaration OF peace
will not affect the activities of the
plants. 1t was stated that there
will be no lessening of efforts in
the two plants to produce NUM-
tions and ordnance being manufac-
tured there and that in fact the
aim will be to increase production.
1t was stated that the govern
ment has assured the companies
that the materials will be needed
even though hostilities end. Ex-
pectation is that regardless of war
or peace the plants will operate at
their very limit without cessation
for many months to come. PrOduc-
tion is now under way on a number
of contracts, and it is believed here
that there will be no cancellation
or abandonment of these orders.
When the announcements were
made yesterday that an armistice
had been signed the management
promptly caused bulletins to be
posted throughout the entire plant,
giving assurance to the employees
that peace would not endanger the
jobs of any workers and that there
would be no reduction in the activi
ties of the r & V. plants. These
announcements were received with
almost as much joy by the R. &
V. family as were the ones con-
cerning the signing of an armistice
which unfortunately did not prove
to be true
