1.-The soldier today responds more
quickly to military training and
accepts its restrictions more read
lily than under the old system be-
cause he talks to his officers and
understands the reason for what is
being done. We have simply
scrapped 4 lot of snobbiSh junk,

"That is the direction which the
whole modern method is taking in

when a company goes over the
top the officers wear no distin-
gushing insignia nor uniform,
neither do they lead, but charge in

the rest in appearance as peas in

This conversation reused in me
a deal of speculation. When you
come to think of it, these young
men and the ones who will shortly
follow them into the environments
and training camps are the men
who will direct the future destiny
of this country. And the manner
in which they will direct it will be
largely governed by the impress
sions they are now receiving.
They are shutting back and
forth across the continent, doing
