good cause, fight and risk his life, if
need be. is poor sort of fellow, who
is not fit to hold much of a Job any
where, so we look forward not only to
the time when the men who are secur-
ing the benefit of army training will
be in demand for places of RESPONSE
bifity in civil life, but toward the time
when this training will fit many OF
them for taking over the conduct of
the great affairs of the country.
The saying that success needs no
explanation" is not altogether true;
but it is certainly true that the man in
uniform has no explanation to make
as to how he is serving his country.
Most men who are not in uniform feel
even now that some explanation is
necessary.
In the army as elsewhere there is
bound to be difference among men.
So a great deal depends on how good
a record a man makes as soldier. All
of my life I have heard veterans OF
the Civil War use the expression in
describing some man land he was q
first-class soldier" In the years to
come that kind of a recommendation
is going to determine the careers Of
hundreds of thousands of the mer
who are going to, run America. And
that is right. The men who are going
to run this war right can run the coun.

Artillery. this unit having more base
ball players than any other two put
together. 1t is an established fact
that when the 342 goes afte.. a player
or an athlete that he sooner or later
is assigned to them. .
Plans are laid far in advance for
noted players and many weeks be-
fore the man arrives in camp the re-
quest has been made that he be
placed in the 342. Since January this
well known organization has been
working to add Grover Cleveland Alex
ander to its already large number of
baseball players
When the organization goes after
anything for its betterment they go
with a united effort, not as one man,
but every member of the command
co-operates in the object, which sooner
or later results in its achievement.
