Antonio was overawed by his sur.

him to the cantonment. And he con

all officers, during the early days of
his training. While standing guard
one night, he was in such a flutter

Soldiers Get Reading Habit.

SoioierS get Reading Habit.
The growth of the reading habit
among the soldiers has brought to light
an interesting contradiction to the gen-
orally accepted theory that among a
group of individuals the leveling proc
ess is a leveling downward.
The men in the camps who are read
ers stimulate by their example the in
terest Of those who are not. "Have
you read this story?" asks Private X
of Private Y. "Naw," replies Private
Y; 81 never read a book through in
me life" "Well, y'oughta read this
one. It's a better'n any movie show
y'ever saw. It's a bear" Thus does
Private Y get an incentive to taste the
joys of literature. There is a ten.
dency toward a leveling upward.
The valuable service of the libraries
is further developed by lectures, uni
versity extension courses, and the gen
eral education plan. Men not only will
keep pace with their former civilian
activities, but many of them will
emerge from the army and navy bet.

Germany began morefthan one woman

have proved their valor in past wars.
