THE BOYS OF EIGHTEEN.

What is the proper age for sol
der? Is eighteen too early for the
beginning of military career?
These are questions that have been
variously and widely discussed since
the proposal to make the military ser
vice age from eighteen to forty-fve.
On the floor of Congress especially
it has been debated by some of the
soundest minds in America, with the
result that the new man-power bill
was passesd by substantial MAORI
ties. Evidently the members of Con-
gress are of the opinion that eigh-
teen year old boys make excellent sol
diers.
Attention has been called to the fact
that the youngsters of Great Britain
saved the day-saved civilization, for
that matter-last March. when the AL
lies faced the most critical period of
the war, after Coughs fifth army had
been driven back in rout, and the
British alone had lost $4,000 in pris-
oners, Then it was that England hurl-
ed 26S,O0O men across the Channel in
two weeks, and $4,000 in four weeks,
and practically every soldier was a
boy of eighteen or twenty, who had
been in training only few months.
Those boys marched straight to the
front. fought like veterans, stopped
the German advance, and saved Paris
and the ports, And so it was at Can
tigny and at Chateau-Thierry. when
the American division, comprising
mostly youngsters whd had never had
actual fighting hefore-there they de
feated the crack German divisions,
