When The Forum published an editorial
entitled "Put Yourself In His Place" a
few nights ago, it didn't count on quite
such prompt support from abroad.
Mr.. Tostevin s letter arrived the next
day, and it left no doubt Of the feeling
of the men in the American Expeditionary
Forces.
In yesterdays mail came another letter
from North Dakotan, who requested that
his name be not used. He wrote: II re-
ceived the enclosed letter and The Forum
editorial in the same mail, and they seemed
to sort Of belong to one another. I thought
/ would send this much of my sons letter
and if you thought best you could publish
it, The sons letter follows in part:
"Private Flynn of Fargo, who used to
work for The Forum, just brought in the
paper for me to read. Say, if that Town
ley gang doesn't make a United States
soldiers blood boil believe if I was
home I would be tempted to get out and
do little campaigning myself"
There is some more Of it which has been
eliminated by the censor, not the official
army censor, but one in The Forum office.
It is a little too "strong" to publish in
cold type, but the writer doesn't leave any
room for doubt as to his feelings.
To vote as the boys shoot is a good rule
to follow this year.

been rejected by the examining
boards for Slight defects who could
really be made fit for full military

would probably need nothing more
than strict regimen to bring them
into full physical condition. There is
hardly an exception to the rule that

the July allotment really takes the
place of the one that would have
come for August.
Attention is called to the fact that
just as soon as the .eptenlber aNot-

workers will be needed. So please

Cavalry Horses Receive Thorough
Education Before They Are Ready

London. July 25 Correspondence
horse, before he is ready for service,
receives an education almost. as rig
orous and comprehensive as that Of
the recruit who rides him into bat
tie. When properly trained he will
face barbed wire and even rush en-
tanglements, regardless OF lacerated
legs and TANKS. After he has been
accustomed TO have a man mount
IA pidly on his sensitive back he is
taught to kneel with his rider. He has
to be taught to pul! up in his own
length from gallop, 70 stand steady
while q rider fires from his back and
to lie still on the ground while he is
being used as a cover for his. ridSn
who snipes over his side.
One of the most difficult things rel
CURED Of a war horse is to become
familiarized with the sword In war
fare it is a common trick for a cav
alrynan to aim his first blow at his
opponents horse, for no horse will
stand after being pricked on the nos
tril or lip.
When a horse knows his rider well
he will perform surprising deeds. a

When the enemy finally begins his big
retreat it is the Allies horses that will
