SHARPNESS N THE ARMY.

One of the best lessons Il soldier cipline and orderly action, is that of "smartncSS." Indeed this may be set down as part of discipline. and for that reason in all the great training camps the young men. newly from civil life are getting advice and instruction on the pcns. says Omaha Bee. II means that the soldier must he care full of his personal appearance. avoid- ing slouchinrSS in dress or deneanor as he would inc plague. The moral ef- feet of this is direct and easily recog- ni2ed. The smart" soldier is n good soldier, and reflects in his hearing and attitude the lessons of his training. He is alert, rc>ourceful, and in all ways dependable and efficient. Tn" American army does not stress this be. yond reason. for it is traditional to re- tain as much of the indivi lal quail ties of the men as is compatible with nead for concerted action. This pol icy has been ct immune value in devel- oping self-relnnce and initiative. the chief characteristic of the American soldier. Proper relaxation essentin! to personal comfort is always permit ted, and the combination of this ele- ment with that of disciplinary routine produces the best fighting organization the world has ever known.

LETTER FROM
 HARRY EASTMAN
Somewhere in France.
2-22-18

kOOIliCW llCl . III I dliSO. 2-22-18 J. w. Pritchett,
 Dear Sir and Brother:
 l have thanks for the publica- ton by you of my letter.. Re- ceived lots of letters from the Brothers and many of my old friends. The other day l re- ceived, thanks to my old friend Jack Bender, two plugs of Vest over and three cuts of good old Star chewing. It was certainly a treat. We get a regular issue of both cigarettes and smoking tobacco but most people have an acquired taste of their own and we are unable to purchase the good old American grades at the Front.
 We have a canteen of our own and it is well stocked considering circumstances, so we can occa- sionally purchase preserved fruits fancy biscuits and chocolates; soap and all other toilet articles, paper pens, etc. And last but not least you can drink. It tasted @ good but very few are able to get intoxicated. Still nothing is really needed by us as we live very well and get all that we can eat and served ad libitum.
 The papers you sent have not arrived. No doubt they will come.
 My best regards to the Broth CTS and my old friends. Many thanks to yourself for past favors,
 Fraternally yours, H. B. Eastman

WILL CALL ALASKA DRAFT
 ON JUNE 30

The long awaited Alaska draft will come on June 30, or very near to that date, according to word received by the Governors office from Provost Marshall Gen. eral E. H. Crowder.
 The Alaska Selective service men will not go to Camp Lewis for their training, but will, as intimated in The Dispatch sever al months ago. be trained at Ft. Seward. Additional equipment has been gradually accumulated at the post for some time, and accomodations made for an in- creased number of men. The opinion is freely expressed by good authority that it is the in- tention of the War Department to move most of the regulars from Ft. Seward when the draft men are in shape to take over the post, so that few if any Alaskans will be sent out of Alaska.
 The telegram from Gen. Crowd CT reads as follows:
 ''The Secretary of War has directed that Alaska quota will be called to colors about June 30, 1918, and that they will not be sent to the United States for training, but will be reported to the commandinQ officer, first bat talion, 14th infantry, now sta toned in Alaska. This is not an order for mobilization, but is ad vance informatiod in order that you may make your plans accord ingly.

There are now lying at the American

Care American Embassy" and which
the embassy officials have no way of
delivering. II the senders had even
indicated whether the person address
ed was in the army, the navy, the avi-
alton corps, or the nature Of his bust
ness in London. there might have been
a chance Of the letter finding its way,
but without any such particulars. the
likelihood Of its reaching its destina-
ton are rather remote.
Some people at home seem to thin
that the American embassy in London
is a small compact office where is kept
a card index of all Americans abroad.
AS a matter of fact the American EN-
bassy in London has expanded since
the war until it occupies a half dozen
scattered buildings and employs sew
eral hundred clerks and secretaries.
Americans who call at the embassy
usually have business with only one
department and the clerks who have
charge of the casual mail are extremely
unlikely to hear their names.

Before the war I was one OF the
many AlSace Lorraine politicians who

gram 10 an autonomy within the boun-
darics of the German empire. From
this it must not be gathered that We

We could be reunited to France only

avoid that"
He further explains the reason why
the people OF Alsace- .Orraine do not
wish to and can not become Germans.
our national culture is French. not
German" he says The Germans state
thar by descent. in language and in
history VIC are Germans. This, now
eyer. is untrue or only partly true.
Admitted that the great majority Of
our population IS a mixture of German
and celtic races. as is also the case of
good part Of the population of north
and weSt France: admitted also. that
considerable part Of the population
speaks in the Alsa clan dialect. which
is a branch Of the German language
Nevertheless, our history has removed
us far from the German root and has
made us French.
During the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries we were utterly sep
arated from Germany and took no part
in the formation Of the new Germany
which was formed under the banner Of
Prussia. The new Germany became a
stranger to US while France drew
nearer and nearer 10 us.
The great French revolution finally
decided our national character. The
entire population of Alsace- Lorraine
was caught by the revolutionary move
ment. The Marseilleise was written in
StTa ssburg and sung for the first time
by Rouge delhi at the house Of the
