The enlistment win constitute the stu- dent a member of the army of the United States. liable to active duty at Che call of tho President It will however, be Che policy Of the govern mcut not Co call the members Of the training units Co active duty until they have reached the age of 21. unless urgent military necessity compels an earlier call. Students under IS. and therefore not legally eligible for enlistment. will be en- couraged Co enroll i'm tho training units.

 "ThIs new policy aims to accom- Iplish a two-fold object: first. to de- vclop as a great military asset the large body of young men in the col- lcgcs: and second, Co prevent un- necessary and wasteful depletion of the colleges through indiscriminatc volunteering. by offering Co the students a definite and immediate military status.
 Later announcement will be made Of thc details of tho new system. In the meantime. presidents of col- lcgiate institutions are requested to call this matter to the attention of an their students. Those who do not graduate this spring should be urged to continue their education and take advantage of this new opportunity to serve the nation"

In this corner of an ultramodern city
has labored to preserve the relics of
those storied centuries when knights
were bold and ladies passing fair.
Now, thanks to him who has kept
alive an art long considered dead, this
country is able to benefit by the adj
vice of an expert in metals, and no
longer does NJ. Tachaux labor over an
cient pieces, but bends all his efforts,
all his cunning and all his knowledge,
to the making of armor that can be
worn by the modern soldier armor
heavy enough to be invulnerable, light
enough to carry.
Revive Work Of Old Masters.
This question of weight and there
fore practicability of armor for the
man on foot--the man who makes a
charge-reverts to the time of Louis
XIV of France, when the use of defen-
sive protection had practically disnp-
peared and an attempt was made ~
revive the steel helmet. Indeed, the
development of armor from the time
OF side arms until the use of firearms
is one of exceeding interest at this
time, in that the government is re-
viewing the work of some of the
making, with view to reinstating the
best and most feasible of the old meth
DDS of defensive protection.
The use of armor dates back to the
ninth century B. G. and became more
elaborate and complex until the intro
duction of gunpowder. The helmet was
the first body protection to appear and
was followed by the c,lirass-the lat
ter being used by the Greeks and Ro-
mans and reappearing at the time of
Charlemagne in the form of a waist
coat made Of overlapping metal scales
and Of rather imperfect execution.
What Norman Warrior Wore.
In the eleventh century. according
to the Bayeaux tapestries as well as
the seal of Richard Occur de Lion. we
find the coat of mail assuming first
the shape of redingote and later that
of bathing suit, completed by he'll
met conical at the nose. This, together
with the use of leather plates on the
feet and hands, constituted the equip
ment of a Norman warrior.
A study of the sculptures of the
Reims cathedral and the evangelia-
rum of st. Louis National library
points to the development, in the
twelfth century, of perfected coat of
mail. metal combination united with
the helmet by a passe-montagne of
steel links; the whole, constituting q
hauberk, protected the warrior with
the haube-a cylindrical helmet made
of pieces of forged metal adjusted by
rivets and pierced by two peepholes
At the beginning of the fourteenth
century the desire to protect the joints
caused the placing of metal plates at
| shoulder and knee. The haube dlsap
peared and was replaced by a helmet
Of a type called Bassinet. with NOV
able visor pierced by holes to permit
sight and ventilation. BY the middle
of the fourteenth century chain armor
had disappeared to a considerable de-
gree, and plate armor was taking Its
place. the plates at the joints being

extended to the interarticular portions
In such a way as to inclose the limbs
In metal greaves; the hands were pro
tected by an articulated gauntlet and
the foot by an iron shoe or solleret
The body was still covered by a short
ened coat about the length of q waist
coat-called the haubergeon-and the
whole outfit was known as a ''har
ness" to which was soon added steel
corselet, prolonged over the abdomen
by sort of skirt of interviewer metal
&c rings-the "tasselles."
InvuInerabIe But Helpless.
Finally. in the reign of Charles VII,
the complete cuirass appears, aug
mented by shoulder pieces and the
gorget, which united the armor to the
round helmet. The knight was now
practically invulnerable, but so
weighted down and SO awkward Of
movement that once dlsmounted he
was at the complete mercy of his foe.
To lessen his chances of being dis
mounted therefore, his horse was
equipped with armor, the tout en-
semble being a sort of medieval tank.
The man on foot, however needed
greater freedom of movement. and sc
wore considerably lighter equipment.
namely, helmet, shoulder pieces,
shield, arm and thigh pieces, knee
pieces and short coat of mail--or
haubergeon-to which was added. in
many cases, an abdominal demicuir-
ass. This equipment may appear
again on the modern soldier practical
ly as worn by the foot soldier in the
reign of Charles VII.
The elaborate armor of the knight
which. in it's completion. had meant
the patient acquisition Of centuries
was made useless in the space Of some
ten years by the introduction of gum
powder. AS early as the beginning Of
the fourteenth century, projectiles mad
become capable Of piercing the armor
In use at the time, and little by little
the use of such defense disappeared,
the tendency being to substitute fab.
ric for metal protection. This gave
birth to the epaulet, horse-tail plume,
the shake and the bearskin cap. With
modern wars, new device sprang up
namely, individual protection by
means of the invisibllity of units and
scattered formations. From this orig.
mated the idea Of the service uni.
form.
Such methods of individual defense
were quite satisfactory for combat nj
great distances; but in stationary
| fighting or in trench warfare 1t Is
quite another matter, and once again
| the question of Individual armor has
arisen, and already we see its use
in the shape of the steel helmet the
heavy breastplate worn by the Ger.
man soldier, the lighter breastplate
worn by the English, the armored
waistcoats of the Italians and the
trench shields used by all armies The
idea Of the new armor is not. like that
of the Middle Ages. to give complete
protection It is rather to defect than
to stop missiles, and 1t does this with
a sheet of metal that would be easily
pierced by bullet striking 1t at right
angles.
