Gentle pastime mas been transform

The soldier Is taught to use his
fists not for fun or mere exercise,
but for the good 1t will do him in
battle. Accordingly, he fights often
sively. The military boxing code does
not tolerate the defensive tactics en-
couraged by professional rules.
There is an interesting reaction
now on professional boxing. It seems
destined to yield to the military in
nuence. Pugilistic experts are de-
manding revision of the code. A

on guard. and the next moment the
Turk flung himself on him. and the

The men were about the same age.

knowledge OF the art OF boxing. They
fought without stopping for about ten

GOOD PROPAGANDA

An interesting bit Of history con-
nected with the recent disastrous
Austrian offensive has just been re-
vealed by our government. 1t ap-
pears that friendly propaganda had
almost as much to do with the gal
lant stand of the Italians on that
socasion as hostile propaganda had
- do with the Italian demoraliza-
ion when Austria made her big gain
last fall.
When II became apparent that a
new Austrian drive was impending,
ltalians, Czechs, Slovenians and peo-
PIE Of other nationalities in this
country who we're particularly eager
fDr Italian success were given the
use Of the cables and the wireless
stations to send messages to Italian
relatives and friends. The result
was that for days every mean Of COM
nunication was jammed with friend
". encouraging messages. Italy was
fAirly deluged with good wishes and
expressions of confidence and admi-
ration.
The fine effect of this campaign of
sentiment on the Italian army and
nation can easily be imagined. II
vas undoubtedly big factor in the
magnificent defense made by the
italian troops--a defense so spirited
and sustained that no sooner hat
the enemy's drive started than 4
seemed as II It were an Italian rather
than An Austrian offensive.
The plan which worked 80 well IL
this ease should be used freely here
after. ~"
