Be Young In Body, Mind and Looks Despite Your Years

How often you have wished that you could indulge in the strenu- ous exercise of out door sports with the vigor and enthusiasm of youthi But the end of the week finds you all in you are tired, listless and lack the energy togo out for a vigorous walk or a round of the links-or any other exercise that re- quires much physical exer- ton.

HAD TO DISCIPLINE FLYERS

hAD lO OlO(1PLlNE FLYERS
 Artillery and aircraft were to co- operate more closely. The airman would would have to develop liking for ar s4Iier ranging work. A battle high up Tn the air, with chance of bigh honors and a mention in army orders was aecidedly more exciting and won oerful than ranging for the artiIIarv of the great importancs or artillery-ranging work was onlv gradually inculcated.
 As fighting instrument for us. dsainst ground targets, airplanes did not then play such a systematic role as they did in 1917, and more particnIsr rIT m lslS; but as early as the battle of the Somme the enemy's aircraft de. scended very low, played havoc with our infantry by machine-gun fire moi so much by causing heavy casualties as by making the troops feel that tbev had been discovered in places which heretofore they had thought afforded safe cover.
 This feeling of apprehension was so strong at first that rifles and machine guns were often not put to that use for which the. would have been most effective.
 GIVES GLORY TO INFANTRY
 In the end of ends. infantry is the deciding factor in every battle wac in the infantry myself and was body and soul an infantryman I told my sons to join the infantry They did so, but, as happened to so many of our young men, the freedom of the air drew them from the trenches. But the fine saying of the old Directions for Infantry Exercises" will always remain true in war: 'The infantry bears the heaviest burden of a battle and re- quires the greatest sacrifice; so also It promises the greatest renown"
 Heavy indeed is the burden of the infantry in this as in other wars They have to endure the heaviest lombard ments of the enemy, lying quietly in dirt and mud. in damp and cold, hun gry and thirsty. or huddled in dug-outs holes, and cellars, they must await the overpowering assault, until leaving the safety of their shelters face to face with death, they must rise to meet the destroying storm.
 Such is their life. It can be endured only when discipline has prepared the way, and when deep love of the Fatherland and an imperative sense of duty fin the heart. The glory is great. But the highest reward lies in the proud consciousness of having served the Fatherland more than all others. and in some sense that ones own cour- age has wrung victory out of the bat tie.

 In .appraising achievements. equal justice must be done to all those who fought like the infantry; the pioneers. the dismounted cavariyman. the field telegraphist have equal glory. To all of the same fine sentence in the training regulations applies.
 In speaking thus. I do not wish to belittle what the other arms of the service accomplished They all had the same appreciation and care from G. H. Q. The airman, too, shares the feeling of victory. the deep satisfac- tion of knowing that even in the air man has his worth But he was not subject to the disintregrating in- fluences of battle.
 The artillery had to endure the same strain as the infantry The longer the war lasted. the higher their losses became, in defence as in at tack It became increasingly clear that they were the keystone of the battle and the mainstay of the front
 All the same the artillery need not fight with the infantryman over that sentence in the regulations. He would certainly be right if he contested the suggestion that the infantry Is the queen of arms. IL was by some error that this statement had found its way into an artillery training manual. There is no queen of arms. They all have equal right to the title. for all are equally necessary. It is impossible to get on without one of them.

In the province of tactics 1t was necessary to restore the supremacy of the aggressive function of the artillery in getting on to and destroying the enemys guns and infantry before the infantry attack was launched.
