How long would 1t be before Tom
would see what every one else was

She was not so biased as he. She
could see why Marshall had had to re-
organize. Estrada had shown her;
and MacLean. Her sense Of justice
had done the rest. Richard had proved

military discipline all showed the gen.

N. c., In Garry on"
The pugilist and the ball player, the
wrestler and the football coach. even
the little Jap jiu.jitsu artist all had
their very definite parts In the training
Of the armies during this war. And
whyf Because each had something
vital TO contribute to the physical de-
velopment of the soldiers, something
which made them better fighters, for
getfui of fear, and able TO care for
themselves when thrown on their own
responsibility in q single-handed COM
bat with a dozen or more Huns.
All Of the warning nations used these
various forms of physical development
in making their fighting men. Charac-
t~eristic Of America, where athletics Of
all kinds have become so highly organ
tied, the training OF the soldiers In
every camp In the early days OF the
war resembled the preparation for a
huge athletic carnival. Physical train
ers Of every description were early mo-
bilized and rendered invaluable service
in preparing our doaghboys for the
great struggle overseas.
The country is now quite familiar
with all these efforts. But very few
people realize 10 what extent these
same methods and the same physical
trainers are assisting In the restora-
don OF the returning soldiers who have
been disabled In the val.
The physical training department Of
our hospital schools Is the least talked

ton program. and We, no division Is
