Washington, d. C.-The senate to-
day decided to have the proposal
for repeal of daylight saving again
run the gauntlet of President Will

Less than two years before William
II, the former German Emperor,
came TO the throne Of Germany, his
father. Frederick considered it dan
gerous to allow him 70 have any hand
In the foreign politics OF the German
Empire. Frederick, in fact. had an
extremely low regard for his sons

from Portoflno, Italy, and which has
just been made public.
Williams principal defects at that
time, as his father saw them, were
This habit Of making snap judgments
in o manner tending to exaggera-
tion," lack Of "actual learning" I"
which was "still full Of gaps" and
IAN inclination to conceft." Here is
the text of the letter:
my son, Prince Wilhelm, has
without my previous knowledge ex-
pressed the wish to His Majesty
(William /; Frederick then was still
the crown prince) to become better
acquainted with the operations Of our
MINISTRIES during the coming winter,
and learn that It II intended to en-
ploy him in the Foreign ONCE.

official Communication to that effect,

are honorable wounds; their scars are
the results of the part they willingly
played in making the world decent
place in which to live.
These men want no coddling. They
went forth to duty, and in the supreme
moments Of their lives they were
struck down-physically but not spir-
itually. AS one writer said recently,
They are coming back to take up the
business of life. They have had their
day of adventure, of sacrifice, of glory.

ministration, I am decidedly opposed
to having him begin at the Foreign

Of the tasks to be entrusted to the
prince, 7 consider 1t imperative that
he shall first Of all thoroughly learn
the internal conditions of his own

Soldiers remember Ehe revision OF
boxing regulations which the War De-
partnent Commission on Training
Camp Activities Effected. The revision
did away with "stalling," with the COW
ering- up and running away tactics en-
ployed by boxers In the old ring days.
Such tactics were clever admittedly,
but they did not accomplish what the
Army wanted. Therefore new rules,
which stressed the importance Of Of
fensive tactics, were made. The man
in the ring who kept after his oppc-
nent from start to finish was the pre-
ferred fighter. It was a case of Get
your mani" Those rules produced
many sizzling bouts in the early days
when our cantonments were nurseries
of heroes destined to perform epic
deeds in Europe. The same aggressive
fighting, transferred to French soil,
demonstrated it's worth. Offensive
smashing broke the bubble Of Hinden-
burg resistance in less than year.

staeles fade before the ex-soldier, who

becomes possible. Firm in his under

THE VALUE OF DISCIPLINE

So-called "hard things" in the busy
world Of commerce, and professional
activity, ought TO come easy to the
man who has been drilled in an Army
training camp. Military discipline,
which seemed so burdensorne to many
men when they were in barracks, win
now prove more than ever its real
worth to those who thrived under 1t,
but often chafed at what seemed over
attention to inconsequential Details
.Punetuality-a cardinal virtue in
military regulations, win insure man
getting to work promptly when he re-
enters business. And punctuality is
often the stepping stone to success. It
means being on hand when opportu-
nifty knocks-opportunity proverbially
being given to the habit Of fading
away IL one 81 not there ia time to
grasp it. Then there are the SEEM
;ngly unpleasant factors of business
existence, possible complaints from
superiors, demands for overtime work
the necessity for rising early at times
to catch trains or to meet men, the
capriees Of Fate which sometime leave
one with little money for meals and
lodging. Obviously the man schooled
in military discipline, who has listened
respectfully and with manly attitude
TO complaints from superiofs, who has

Accustomed to routine tasks, begin

will never be confounded by the

He has lived with a sense Of response

years will be an asset. Fire Depart
