Camp Meade. Admiral, Md, March &c.
DEAR DAD: Many a time during my
~ home visits have discussed the
training system at Little Penn and
tried to explain how the spirit OF dis
ciplinc is developed.
Today / met the Rev. S. Tagart steele,
Jr.. civilian chaplain Of the Bishop OF
Maryland at this camp. lie has been
here since the latter part OF August, or
three weeks before the camp was opened
to the Pennsylvania selects. lie has
watched the development of the division
and today asserted that discipline Is the
outstanding feature in the life OF the
Liberty Division.
l asked him to write n short letter to
you and requested him to outline his
views concerning the importance OF DIS
cipline. lie complied with my request
so PASS along his letter. It follows:
BY the REV. S. TAGART STEELE, JE'
zone OF the most remarkable FEATURES
of the training of men in the Natiohal
Army at Camp Meade is the emphasis
laid on educating them to do certain
things. so that they will do them vol
unfairly. ~
! "Of course, the foundation of army
discipline is instant obedience to ones
superiors, and IL this precept Is not in
| culcated into the men very vigorously
while they arc being trained. what
chance is there that the men VIII ooey
| when under fire, as one of the young
/ officers remarked to me not long ago .
| Instant obedience is absolutely essential
| for any large body of men to act as a
unit or TO carry out any concerted action
/ OH Il large scale; and obedience. or any
I sort of discipline for that matter, has
! to be practiced before It is made perfect
| or trustworthy enough TO be relied on IN
times of exceptional strain. 80 the
| army discipline Is rigid, and has TO be
| so and the men must obey whether
| they see the reason for the order or not.
To have men question orders Is to sub
| stitute many conflicting opinions for one
coherent plan: and 1t is very doubtful,
! at least SO far as military efficiency
| goes, IL the anarchy in Russia is fit TO
I cope with a more smoothly running mill
itary machine.
Even the most ardent supporters OF
/ individuallsm must admit that there are
| times when society has to act as q
whole, and. If It is TO act efficiently and
/ to have all of its forces working toward
| a common end, IL has to act under one
! leader and II must obey him, or any
group of leaders. II Il is TO succeed.
| That men are fallible, and that the lead
( ers sometimes must be changed, IS not
| open to serious question. but too much
! changing results in certain instability
| Of purpose.

FRENCH CANADIANS
SEEK DOMINION RULE
Amazing Propaganda Appeals
to Mothers to Raise Large
Families to Take Control

Toronto, March "a.
An amazing propaganda is being con-
Quoted among French Canadians 1t is
described by one Jesuit father, the Rev.
Father Lalonde. as THE Revenge of the
Cradles" and consists of an appeal TO
French-Canadlan mothers to raise as
large families as possible. The distant
objective Of the propaganda Is the Sc
curing of electoral majorlties in parlia-
mentary constituencies.
The propaganda is by nc means gem
eral French-Canadan one INDUCED in by
all their leaders, but Is confined to the
Nationalists, which are described as the
most highly organized and uncompro-
missing forces in Canadian politics.
Some of the appeals are indirect. No
opportunity is lost of exploiting a large
family; that is, not one of six or seven
children, but one with twelve or fifteen
children or even more. II grandparents
or great grandparents have a birthday
or a wedding anniversary, a point is
made of dilating upon the number of de-
scendants they have. If they run up
to 100 or so, as they not infrequently do,
the STORY" Is exploited as news and as
the basis for lively editorial discussion.
Imprcssionable readers cannot fail to
be influenced in the direction of emula-

POLE CLIMBING HARD,
MEADE MEN DISCOVER
Not a Man in Squad Able to
Reach Top, Even With
Spurs
Bv a star Correspondent,

Camp Meade. Admiral, Nd. March 81. q.
A score of men from Headquarters
Company, 312th Field Artillery, were
grouped around an unromantic tele-
graph pole.
The police was little different from
thousands that this bunch of Phila-
delphans had seen curing their travels,
and not until Lieutenant u. r. smith
announced that they were to climb to
the top did it take on any particular
Importance.
Harry Kinsela. formerly a Jockey
for August Belmont, was member OF
the party. and, being n part of the army
that Is designed to make the world saie
for democracy, Kinsclla wanted to know
how "A telegraph pole Inquired IN the Ire
of an artillery man.
"you see" said the lieutenant ut is
necessary for every man TO learn the
art OF climbing. To employ the Dig
guns effectively we must be familiar
with every phase Cf signal work, ahu
how can we operate slgnal system u
we are unable to climb telegraph
pole?"
looked that detail. but admitted that II
was n waste of time to do n monkey
act on the pole. "Any man can climb
n nole when he uses the spurs that
are worn by the men in construction
crew" said the Jockey. But he changed
his mind and very quickly. too Climb
ing a pole even when spurs or spikes
are used Is a difficult stunt. so difficult
that not a man in the group performed
it.
Smith put on the spurs and. after
giving a short lecture on the latest
methods Of pole climbing. gave an en-
hibitiOn. lie went UP the pole with
the agility Of a veteran lincman. Then
he came down with all the grace or
squirrel.
Throw out your hips. grip the pole
with your hands. but rather lightly,
and then use your feet in natural
way" That was part Of his advice.
Not One Reached Top
The first man to try the stunt was
Corporal W. G.. Jackson. lie made
horrible Job Of pole climbing, but man
aged to get ten feet from the ground
He had TO come down. but didn't come
down very gracefully. Francis j..
Walsh, "A former Philadelphia cop. ad-
justed the spurs and tackled the spar.
but did little better than Jackson. After
digging the spurs into the wood half
dozen times he lost control of his feet
and slipped to the ground
Sergeant ]. S. McKeever did quite
well at climbing, but failed to do the
right -about-face stunt when Lieutenant
Smith ordered him to go around the
pole That was too much, and he slip
ped TO the ground. John Marley, an
ex-bartender: Corporal John krasnicki
and several others tried the stunt, but
not one reached the top
1T really looks easy" said Lieuten-

TRIAL HERE

Leopold Monich, alias L. Y. Smith,

is again in the county Jail. Since
leaving here he has served a term OF
TWO years at Folsom prison, San

leased from the penitentiary there on
July %. Charles ,Summerfield, as
sistant chief Of police of Moscow, was
at the office Of the penitentiary to
receive. Monich when he was released,
and brought him straight to Moscow.
Monich is charged with having
forged the~name of Rev. Father R.
Pescoa1, priest in charge Of the
Catholic church here, to aAeheck for
STA which he is alleged to have cashed
at the Moscow state bank. He fled
from here and the matter was turned
over to the protective association.
