BRAIN DRILL" OF THE
BRITISH PLEASES HIM
American Soldiers Display Much In.
terest In Novelty Introduced In
English Army.

London, July 26.--American SOL
diers, who prize mental as well as
physical efficiency. are showing much
interest in brain drill" recently in
troduced into the British army. Its
purpose is to teach the British soldier
TO think quickly and TO concentrate
his mind on what he is doing
An officer lines up a company and
as preliminary 10 the brain drill,
puts the men through some simple
calisthenics,
Now" he explains, when I say.
Do this. you'll do it: but If l say.
DO that you won't do it." He care
fully illustrates the motions to be done
and then the motions not to be done.
Ready! Do this, do this, do this"
The men obey. Suddenly his arms
shoot down by his side. do that"
he commands. Unthinkingly half the
men fall into the trap he has set
Amid the laughter of the rest they are
ordered to fall out and stand aside.
When all except two or three have
been eliminated the game Is changed,
The men are formed into two lines,
facing each other and about six yards
apart, A cap is tossed on the ground
midway between the lines, and then
the men in couples, one from each
line. walk slowly up to 1t and try to
snatch 1t before the other can touch
him. If, while the cap Is held by the
snatcher. the other manages to put
his finger on him before he can jump
away the cap must be dropped and
the contest renewed. At last one
whisks the cap away and is off.
Grows and cranes is another fea-
ture OF the drill. Again the men are
lined up about ten yards apart, the
officer standing between
Those on my left" the officer says,
ARE cranes and those on my right are
crows If shout Crows the cranes
will dash off and the crows will chase
them. But If I shout Cranes the
crows will dash off and the cranes
will chase them. Now, are you
ready?"
Then for nearly a minute he stands,
giving an imitation of an automobile
engine running free at full speed, Or
r-r-r-r-r-r." Both lines stand tense
and eager, awaiting the word.
Crows" he enunciates at last.
Half the crows bolt instead of dash
Ing after the cranes. Inattention again.
However, the quick-witted among the
crows were after the cranes in a
jump.
This is all to teach you to act on
the spur of the moment" the officer
tells the men. TT may be a case of
life or death whether you or the Ger
man moves first You may be the
quick or you may be the dead"
Painting, the men march offff. They
