know whether the man. should be on
the outside or inside when walking
with a girl.
Should a young man smoke when
in the presence of ladies'?
What time should young man call
on a young lady in the evening and
when should he leave?
Should a girl go with another boy
when she is engaged?
GREENHORN.
Walking on the outside when with
young girl is supposed to be proper
in this country. but the custom came
from an old English habit. The men
walked on the outside to protect the
woman which was necessary owing to
the conditions. 1t is just as proper tC
walk on the inside as the outside.
A young man should not smoke in
the presence of women unless he has
asked the permission of every woman
in the room If you can do just as
well without it it would be better and
more considerate not to smoke.
1t is customary for a young man tc
call on girl about o'clock or little
before and leave at 10.
A girl should not go with another
boy when she is engaged.

 What is 100000 Americans com pared to the 10,0O0O00 we'll trained and equipped Russians who have fallen out of the battle line? Where could the Americans have raised the requI- site number of officers and noncGmmis- stoned officers so .expeditiously?"
 The writer then goes on to argue that what England failed to do. Amer ica cannot accomplish. He declares tue American fighting men cannot oe properly equipped because the Amer ican war material manufacturers are swindlers
 Moreover, our experience with the American soldiers has not served to fill us with over-mlch respect for them, although many doubtless are regulars and comparatively well trained" he says. We would not be afraid of 5.000.000 of them. They Go not know what they are fighting for
 After similar criticisms of the;Auer- jeans as fighting men, the military contributor arrives at the following conclusion:
 We do not believe that there is large number of them in the battle hne-and even if it were true we will whip them anyhow"
