The great body Of the army b the
enlisted personnel The history of all
wars has given examples Of men who
rose from the ranks to positions of
great responsibility and distinction.
Napoleon spoke from the record when
ne said that in every private soldiers
10 great object lesson i'm democracy:
men chosen because they were excep-
ti00ally good soldiers, now qualified
tor commissions, but still doing the
work Of men in the ranks, waiting for
the great day of opportunity. Every
man In the ranks. every man whose
veins have the red blood Of Amer
icanism, win take heart from this OBJ
Jet lesson and try, even as these men
have tried, to fit themselves to be
called eligible when the fortunes Of
war shall give them their shoulder
bars.
There Is war enough for everyone.
The chances will come quickly and
none can tell just where they win
strike. A story of the British army is
pertinent:
On the fields of Picardy a young
officer had just been given command
of company. He led his men over
the top of the trenches and was struck
by bullet just as he emerged. First
Lieutenant, you are In command, sir;
carry ont" This was his command.
The first lieutenant took command
and he, too, was struck. Second LEI
tenant, you are in command, sir; carry

The second lieutenant. a mere boy,
proudly took the Lead. Then he was
hit. First Sergeant, you are in COM
mand; carry onP' And the shattered
little company, led by the FIRST ser
geant, gained the objective.
The FIRST sergeant was ready. He
was able to carry on" So these
young graduates of the training
schools are ready. So, too, they viii

know Of NO better manner for throw
ing light on this point than by
placing side by side the instructions
issued by the PrusBian overlords to
their super-warri0rs and the words
addressed by General Pesshing to
our own boys about to suffer their
llrss baptism Of fro.
Thus speaks the would-be world
conQuer0r to the mem Of bic invading
armies. He calls ON the German SOL
der to make his name more terrible
to the enemy than that Of Atilla, the
Hun. ''Strike him dead. The Day
of Judgment will not ask your rea-
soma" And again: by sleeping
himself In military history an oGicer

excessive humanitaYian notions"
And now listen to the words of
the brave Pershing: "YouP first
duty Is to fight against . foe and to
guard our ally. You are also to lift
q shield above the poor and weak.
You will be very tender and gentle
with little children. You win do
your duty like brave men. Fear God.
Honor your country"
America is the first nation in his
tory to place its soldiers oNicially and
directly under the care of religion.
That is the winning part Amer

tude, can any one for O moment

listed men have qualified for commits

thing for them TO keep IN mind In tAat
they are marked mem-men marked
fog promotion; and the eyes Of Their
officers win be more closely than ever
upon them. Also the eyes Of enlisted
men win watch them closely. From
now ON they mnst set the example,
more conspicuousIy even than they set
the example before they were sent to
the training schools.
1t was the fact that they were good
soldiers that led to their selection for
the schools. Through the long weeks
of training they had to live up to the
promise they had given or fan by the
wayside. Hundreds of them did fall.
Those who survived were Sc TO sur
wye.
But their position now Is douhly
difficult. Being marked men, every
act, every word, will be the word and
act Of potential officers Of the army d
the United States.
Their presence for the time in the
ranks means muah to their command

commanding officers can teach as they

qualified candidates win be pointed to
day after day.

With the shortage Of labor for road
