must have thorough and careful ply

be one who has had special training
under some one trained carefully in
that system.
1.-THE French do not pay much at
tention to set-up. The British do
and so will we. Indifferent or in
competent instructors fail to bring
out the disciplinary value of this
class of instruction. Everything pos
sible should be done to develop
agility and endurance. You can do
no better than to follow the course
laid down in Field PHYSICAL Train

to be instructed In bayonet fighting,

be q specialist In all these things in
the short time we have to prepare.
"The type and manner of saluting
is that used by our very best soldiers.
So if you have any doubt I'm mind as
to what the correct salute Is, keep
that In mind. i would insist that the
men in the ranks, at ease or at rest,
must always stand sQuarely on both
feet, with legs apart, and never with
their hands in front Of their bodies.

let him hold that with one hand, and
have the other one at his side or be-
hind his back. OF course never with
his hands in his pockets.

MUST CURB CURIOSITY

American soldiers "OveR There"
are being instructed 70 curb their
curiosity and to forget ell about SOU
venir gathering. The reason for this
is that a number Of British, French
and Belgian soldiers have lost their
lives because their attention was at
tracted to q likely looking souvenir
left in q trench or dugout by fleeing
Germans.
The discovery has been made that
the Huns leave watches, articles Of
jewelry and other trinkets on the
floor or walls Of evacuated trenches
and when t~7cbed these articles set
of death ling bomb. In one in
stance a F. ench soldier removed a
watch from the wall Of Q trench and
thus set on bomb which cost him his
life, together with that OF . score Of
companions. An electric wire was at
tached to the watch and when the
timepiece was touched the explosion
occurred Immediately.

Under the auspices of the 7. n. c..
A., william Howard Taft. forrfer
President Of the United States, will
visik practically all Of the National
Army cantonments and make one or
more addresses to The soldiers quar-
tered I'm them.
The addresses will be delivered In
the Y. n. c. A. auditoriums in the
various cantonments, which will ae-
c0mmodate about $500 officers and
men. In many instances the former
chief executive OF the Nation will
make two speeches. while In some Of
the larger camps he will deliver three
addresses.
The Y. N. G. A. considers itself
fortunate in obtaining the consent Of
man of Mr.. Taft's prominence to
make q series of addresses to the Sc
lective men. Mr.. Taft is not only q
FORMER ruler of the Nation but q
man who enjoys an immense popular
Nv. More than this, however, he Is
IN eloquent and forcefuI speaker, he
has an intense admiration for the
soldiers now in training and he
knows how to deliver q message to
them. It goes without saying that
I ns will be accorded q warm recep-
ton by the soldiers.
Mr.. Taft has no set program of
speeches to deliver. He win choose
his topics at will, but, judging from
the addresses he has already made to
noldfers, he probably will devote most
nf his time explaining how the United
Nkates was forced into war with Ger
nany. He draws q most scathing In
ictment against Germany for violat-
fernationei Law. and he is suDremeIy
confident that the American fighting
