EFT takes all kinds of people to
make q world" This sentiment has
been frequently expressed. But IL is
equally true that 1t takes all kinds of
men to make an army. And one Of
the great problems in organizing an
army Is to see that the different kinds
of men are put in their proper places.
The newly drafted man has an idea
that lighting man Is the only kind Of
a soldier that Is real soldier. An
interesting commentary ON this view
is found In Secretary Bakers state
inent that 1t was necessary 10 change

the rear did not fire their imagina-

within the front lines is naturally re-

hidden to congfegate ON account Of
the danger from Boche batteries. New
ertheless, it is not an unusual sight
to see groups of two or three timber
ing up with baseball after night
in the dugouts and trenches. Most
of the units have their own teams,
and in some places leagues have been
