THE U. s. INFANTRY
The Body of the Army! The Branch
to Which All Others are Auxiliary
and Subsidiary

The infantryman is the typical
soldier. When anyone speaks in
your hearing of a soldier your mind
instantly pictures an infantryman,
a "doughboy;" for remember it is
the infantryman alone that the term
"doughboy" really belongs and it is
due to his being so truly the repre-
sentative and type OF what goes to
make a soldier that il has become
customary to apply to all members
of our expeditionary the name that
in the old regular army pertained
only to the infantryman.
1t is the infantryman who mans
the trenches, it is he who boes over
the top, it is he who comes into hand
to hand conflict with the enemy.
The aviator observes for him, the
cavalry patrols for him, the artillery
clears his path; all prepare the way
for the infantryman to take the first
decisive action. to make the assault.
The life of the infantryman APP
peals alike to the soldier who wishes
to re-enlist and to the young man
who looks toward the army either
as a career or as a stepping stone to
something else. To the seasoned
soldier it means the life to which is
accustomed with more leisure than
can be afforded him in the other
branches, TO the man who desires TO
enter the service permanently it Of
fers as can no other branch. an OPP
portunity to absorb soldierly in
stincts and the military habits OF
mental and physical accuracy and
self control while allowing more
time than do the other branches
for study and the preparation to-
wards obtaining an appointment to
West Point, a commission direct
from the ranks or in exercising some
choice OF occupation on his return TO
civil life.

WHAT is A WELL SPENT IrEg

Much has been said and many
long drawn out articles have been
written ON the life that is well spent.
One can look back over the life that
is spent and pick up stray ends here
and there, and conclude that he is
Is born Of love and hope, of tears
and Joys, ectacy, pain. agony and
fear, and yet, endowed with a heart
that is touched with every interest
that marks the outlines of true man
hood.
Man recalls the time when he was
held in happy arms. with lips upon
life's drifted font, blue-veined and
fair. where peace finds perfect form;
yes, rocked by willing feet and WOO
ed to shadowy shores of sleep by a
loving mother, singing the old time
songs, sweet and low, looking with
every day thingsetaoi shrd cmfwym
wonders wide and startled eyes Of
common every day things Of life;
taught by want and wish and con-
tact with the things that touch the
dimpled flesh of babies; lured by
flame mad charmed color's most
wonderous robes; he learns the use
Of hands and feet. and by love be-
guiled he utters speech, he releases
his thoughts. -,
He begins to puzzle his brain with
crooked numbers and their changing,
tangled worth; so he goes on thru
years of alternating day and night,
until he grows familiar with he lin
itations of this life.
1t matters not, time runs on in
sun and shadow until he wooes and
and wins and again, and all the lore
of love is taught and learned again.
Another home is built. in whose
chamber there are faint dreams of
the past, like cool and Swallowed
wales where hours and pillows of
love are had and enjoyed again. and
then again there is another birth, a
Joy, a kiss of welcome and a new
cradle and the same old time lullaby
that was had in the long ago.
Then comes the time when he re-
allies his obligation, he has pity for
those who toll and weep. tears for
the imprisoned and despised and love
for the generous dead and in his
heart there is the rapture of high
resolve. Then ambition withits lust
of place and power, longing to wear
upon his breast distinctions worth
less badge. Then comes the better
thought of men, his eyes see behind
the smiling mask of craft, he is fat
tered no more by the cringe of gain
and greed. he realizes the useless
ness Of boarded gold, of honors
bought from those who charge usu-
airy of self respect, of power that
only bends a cowar's knee and forces
from the lips of fear the lies of
praise. He finds at last the unstud-
led gesture of esteem. the reverent
eyes made rich with honest thought,
and holding high above all other
things, yes, high is hopes great
star above the darkness of
our sainted dead, the love of wife.

Then come the locks of gray, and
the returned love of other days and
