The penalty seems severe, but the

a soldier can commit 1t is inexcus-

sufficient lesson might be taught

than the death sentence If so, most
of us will hope it can be done.
The watchfulness of sentrfes in de-
tecting surprise attacks and raids is
more necessary than ever in trench
warfare. 1t is hard to think that four
American boys would sleep on duty
when so much might have depended
on their sharp eyes.

MAKE SOLDIERS IN FIVE MONTHS

The Prussian militarists, who were
presumed to be the best soldiers on
earth, told US a few years ago that it
took at least two years of hard sol
diering to turn man into capable
fighter.
American army men now announce
that the drafted men in the sixteen
big camps are ready for France after
only five months of work. These men
are not ready for the trenches; they
must get additional training behind
the lines for that.
But they are already good soldiers
They are physically fit, mentally alert,
they obey orders, and with little ac-
tual experience they viii be as good
as any fighting men under the sun.
They are not as good soldiers me-
chanicaIIy, as the Germans. They
have not been drilled long and hard
enough But they are better men
than any machine-Iike soldier on
earth They can be depended, ON to
take care of themselves no matter
what new situations may arise.
"They learn easily and they I'M
learn easily" says military leader
In other words they can adapt
themselves to new situations. They
will not necessarily do the wrong
thing because it was always done
before.
Warfare is in. a flux, and it is as
requisite that soldier be able to un
learn as to learn, and the drafted mer
have proven they are expert at both

rate of interest and other details have
yet to be announced. The people must
subscribe to it as generally and as
periodically as they bought up the
bonds of the first two loans.
1t is not too early to figure what
portion of the third bond sale you
will take yourself. The Germans are
hoping that the United States will be-
come war weary and decide to give up
the struggle before it is won. No bet
ter way to show the kaiser that his
hopes are a delusion is offered than
a tremendous over-subscription of the
third loan, no matter how large it may
be.
We must celebrate the end of the
first year of our entrance into the
war with a hurrah and a vim that
will show our determination and that
will carry the loan clear and away
over the top"

REASONS TO DOWN GERMANY

Ruy Barbosa, an eminent Brazilian
turist, in calling upon neutral South
American countries to come out
against Germany, said:
I'VE cannot be neutral in the pres
ance of crime. 1t is impossible to be
impartial between right and wrong.
The tribunal of public opinion and
conscience may not remain neutral as
between law and crime"
Reading this it makes an American
ashamed that the United States did
not take part in the war until after
the Lusitania was sunk and the Huns
had ordered unrestricted submarine
warfare.
After all, were there not weightier
reasons for US to join the battle for
the right than Germany's order that
took a few American lives and threat
eDed destruction to American prop
erty?
Would not any nation be justified II
7oining the attack on Germany because
she is an outlaw among nations ant
because her defeat is necessary in OF
der that justice and truth may be as
cendant in the world?

Richards. of the Telegraph, made a
phenomenal catch, running all the
way from deep left to center, and
cutting off a sure run. The Printers
scored their winning tally on a slack
er throw by Smith. He made a
catch in short center and then heav-
ed the Pill over Catcher Losh's bean.

Grammar School Games

No, the world is not coming to an
end, but 1t will look like the millen-

Grammar School Track Meet takes
place on the Island field, because
there will be no toll to pay, none, at
least for children under sixteen years
of age. What cataclysm of charity

known, but the fact remains that
young folks will be permitted to
walk across the Market street bridge
free for once in their life.
This gracious consideration will
help in attracting a crowd which is
sure to be huge, If the weather is at
all favorable. The events begin
promptly at 1.30, but as they will run
right along all afternoon, the visitor
who drops in later will find plenty
of entertainment. Everything has
been done by the athletic committee
to make this meet beautiful pa
geant and brilliant contest The
kids" our coming heroes, are wild
ly enthusiastic to win records, and
Harrisburg should turn out in multi
tudes to encourage the rising gener-
alton and be themselves revived.

u. S. Aid on Marne
Comes Just in Time

London, June 5.-The Associated
Press correspondent with the allied
armies on the Marne telegraphs:
American machine gunners, only
an hour or so after their arrival on
the banks of the River Marne, on
May 81. took most active part in
the defense of Chateau Thierry,
which then was in imminent danger
of capture by the Germans.
Scarcely had the Americans
alighted from their motor lorries
when they were ordered into Chateau
Thierry with a battalion of French
Colonial troops. The Americans inn
mediately organized their defenses,
and by rapid action and excellent
shooting caused the approaching
enemy to hesitate"

Reading and Rosewood of the AL
lison Hill League played another tie
seven-inning contest last evening
that resulted in eight runs for each.
Prior to last evening each team had
won a game from the other and a
third resulted in a draw. Both
teams hoped to break the deadlock
in their last meeting. with the con-
test ending as another draw.
Dark, lowering clouds in the early
part of the evening made it look as
If the contest would have to be called
Off. But with the arrival of $50 both
teams took the field with changed
Ineups. Captain Killinger was OPP
posed In the box by Captain McCur-
dy. Both pitchers were hit rather
freely. Every members Of the Rose
wood nine had at least one bingle.
Eddie" Harris was the star at bat
for Captain Killinger's team with
three hits. He scored two runs him
self and drove in four other runs
Shaeffer also did some heavy artil-
lery work with three runs to his
credit.
While outbatted, the Reading play
ers put up a nifty contest in the
field. They played errorless ball, the
Rosewoods getting their runs
through hard hitting. McCurdy was
the best hitter for his team, rapping
out three drives out of four trips to
the plate. George Levan played
good game at first. stopping several
high-thrown balls. "Bill' Hoerner in
right field for Rosewood pulled a cir
Gus stunt when he fell over a bicy-
Gle in chasing a fly, but recovering
himself. caught the ball. His catch
saved Rosewood the game.
Both teams scored most of their
runs in the first and last innings.
In their first turn at bat Rosewood
crossed the rubber four times. With
the bases loaded, Harris drove out
two-bagger and came home himself
a moment later on Hoerner's single.
Reading came back with three tall
lies in their turn at bat. Ibach sim
gled and stole second. McCurdy laced
out the first of his trio of bingles,
bringing in the Reading third base
man. "Bilr' Euker walked and went
to second on Levan's fielder's choice,
McCurdy being thrown out at home.
Euker tailed on Shartle's hit and
Swartz's hit brought in the latter,
who had stolen second, with a long
fly to center field.
With the teams dead1ocked at five
at the beginning of the seventh in
ming. Rosewood appeared to put the
game away by tallying three more
runs. But the railroaders were
plucky and through a series of hits
and errors tied up the score. The
game will be played off later in the
season. Tonight the Galahads will
tackle the Rosewoods. Manager
Fritz will put a strong team in the
field in an effort to draw closer to
the leaders for first position. bill"

FORTUNE in BELTS
MADE BY GENERAL
Mills in Life Story Tells How
He Changed Name of
City

FL Paso, TeXaS.-How a young
West Point cadet who failed in
mathematics and resigned from the
academy became brigadier general,
made a fortune by inventing the
Mills cartridge belt and became
known as "the grand old man of
El Paso" is told in a book just pub
Mills, retired. for private circulation
as gifts to his friends throughout the
United States. The book is entitled
MY Story" and is the memoirs of
General Mills long career in the
army and in public life.
AS a boy the author worked at a
loom when clothing was made by
hand. He applied the knowledge he
learned tending the crude loom to
the problem of furnishing the Ameri-
can soldier an ammunition carrier
which would be more comfortable
and convenient than the old leather
cartridge box. The Mills belt was
finally adopted by the United States
Army at the beginning of the Span
ish-American War, was later used by
both Beers and British in South
Africa, and by many of the armies
OF the world. The American army
uses the Mills belt and equipment,
although General Mills retired from
the company manufacturing belts in
1905.
The book also furnishes the first
permanent record of Ell Paso's early
history when this city was q frontier
town. General Mills, as the surveyor
VINO laid out the little border town,
lells now the name of Franklin was
changed by him to Ell Paso (The
Pass) because of the pass in the
mountain chain near here through
which the Rio Grande flowed to the
Gulf. His experiences in the wild
frontier settlement, as told in his me-
moirs, are stirring.
The authors story also includes
much of the early history of the Civil
war as 1T related to the Southwest.
After casting the only vote polled
mere against the withdrawal of Texas
from the Union. General Mills was
rorced to leave the border and was
ieluSldJeu WIN MS class and given q
commission in the army at the, be-
ginning of the Civil War. He was
promoted until he held the rank of
brigadier general at the time of his
retirement
After the close of the war General
Mills was stationed in the West.
The pursuit and capture of old Ge-
ronimo, the Apache leader; the In
dian fights of the old West, and
events in Mexico are
related by the author in a personal
way, as he participated in many of
these stirring events of frontier days.
AS American commissioner on the
international Boundary Commission
for adjudicating disputes arising
over the boundary line between
Mexico and the United States, as
General Nelson A. Mics companion
on a trip through Europe, and as the
personal friend of national and in
ternational characters in Washing
ton, General Mills observed keenIy
and international affairs.
and includes many of his personal
observations in his published me-
moirs.

1t has come at last. Baseball men
are to handle the war. The former
manager of the Chicago Cubs is to
sail next week to take command of
all baseball activities in Europe.
What will be his title has not been
given out as yet, but no one figures
that it will be less than general"
If you look closely at General
Evers' open countenance you will
appreciate that it is not so confound-
edly open as to be easy for any Hun,
however crafty. In point of fact
General Evers is the original fox,
besides being full of ginger and in
telligence. He will do as much to
universalize baseball as any one who
ever wore cleats. He has been sane
toned by the Y. NJ. c. A. War Coun-
Gil and the Knights of Columbus.
