There Is only one thing that win
win this war. The Germans have had
it for years: the finest discipline In
the world. The whole nation has
been preparing for over forty years
for the present war, not alone the
army but the whole nation. and all
the preparations made and planned
are based on discipline. It was, there
fore, not to be wondered at that when
the United States entered the war the
German General STAFF issued the fol-
lowing statement: The German peo-
pie need not fear the entrance Of
America into this war, because Amer
lea is democracy and will never at
tain the standard Of discipline re-
CURED This opinion was well found
ed, an Americans would never accept
German discipline (the discipline of

"How, then, h4Ye British successes

Not the German discipline of force
and fear, hat the discipline of respect
for superior officers. The British and
our French brothers in arms would
no more think Of aecspting the dis

men from eighteen to forty years old
to handle them, for our own lines in
France will employ these feathered
messengers which our European allies
have found so useful. Almost every
scouting party that crosses No Mans

At the outbreak of the war the
German army had more than $4,000

But Let him stop to think of the poe-
sible order calling for the replacing OF

new troops-all of this to be done in
absolute quiet and in utter darkness;
and in the given space OF few hours.
The new troops must be where they
are wanted when they are wanted.
This does not mean three minutes

Three minutes ahead might mean the
blocking of blackboard road-a path

large enough for one man. Three

The drill regulations and the field
service regulations are the result OF
many years of experience IN the han

experiments, but codi6ed experience.
In the marine training camps there
ID slogan that all the recruits must
learn. They carry it about with them
on banners and boards; they sing it
and they shout it. The slogan is:
IF You DOME Know,

No better slogan could be adopted
by the new National Army.
The men who direct the training
KNOW. They are aiming to con-
serve the lives of their men. In a
word, they are teaching their men to
move with such clockwork precision
that they all move together; that the
Army moves as one man.
Not only minutes but seconds count
Every day the officers of regiment
go to regimental headquarters to have
their watches adjusted. All must read
alike. When an order Is given to be
executed at certain minute it means
that the hands of every officers watch
will point then to that minute--not &c
q few seconds of the minnte-but ex.
actly that minute. This is what the
Europeans call the synchronixinf
