On the ISSUE Of

De NO Compromise
An Editorial for Boys
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
tcopyright. 1919. ~ Frank crsnsb

Learn to work with, not against, others.
The value Of our work, and the JOY we get
out of it, depends upon whether we work
for the Common Good or for Oursef.
There is good deal of difference of
opinion as to how TO serve God best, but
there is ~ difference of opinion among
honest people as TO the fact that to help
along the Common Good, is the best kind
of service NJ God.
Don't make your chief aim TO Get On,
TO become rich, or TO be famous Leave
those matters TO Fate. They are the gifts
of Destiny and it is foolish 10 struggle for
them 1t makes nine people out of ten
very wretched. Because, naturally, they
cannot all be foremost, any more than all
the trees in the forest can be the highest.
But make your chosen end in life TO be
to do your Work well and thus TO take
yourself off other peoples backs, and TO
serve Humanity.
And serving Humanity does not neces-
sarily mean being missionary or charity
worker; it means doing good Work any
where, as a carpenter, plumber, engineer,
merchant, writer, cook, or miner; for if
everybody did this kind of Work well, there
would be no need for much of what we
call Charity Work.
Make your aim in life Achievement, and
Happiness will come and live with you.
But make that aim Happiness and you
will miss it.
Real Happiness (fun) is a by-product
of Achievement.
And remember that the most important
means TO the end you seek is Training
teducation). There is less and less room
on the earth every day for the Unframed.

Army Leaders Ordered At
tack Like Children About
to Lose a Toy" He Asserts

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Responsibil-
ity for the loss of American lives
through attacks ordered on Armistice
Day should be charged to American
general headquarters and not to the
French, House war investigating COM
mittee was told to-day by Brigadier
General John II. Sherbourne, National
Guard officer of Boston, who COM
manded the artillery of the 26th (New
England) Division and later the artil-
lery brigade of the 92d (negro) Divi-
sion.
$50 Mortified were my men and those
of other American commands near us
at the needless attacks of the morning
Of November II, and consequent loss OF
life, that they did not enter into the
general celebration of the signing of
the armistice," General. Sherburne said.
1T was freely said at the time that
some one had blundered and that there
must some day be an investigations"
Asked if corps and division COM
manders would not have been justified
in disregarding the orders, General
Sherburne said that while some officers
did refuse to send their men to the at
tack, the majority $50 piteously
feared the al-powerful triumvirate at
Chaumont and the entire General Staff
gang there that they dared not risk
courtmartiaf by evading in any pay
ticular the attack orders"
The witness said he did not refer to
Generals Pershing, Liggett or Bullard
when he spoke of the General Staff
triumvirate at Chaumont." The only
officer he named was Brigadier General
Fox Connor, chief of opera tions.
No French or British troops, except
few Canadians. attacked on Arm 8
stice Day, General Sherbournc declared,
adding that both the French and Brit
ish were Mortified at the "reckless dis
regard" for human life shown by the
American commanders.
Young officers, graduates of West
Point and the army staff colleges at
Leavenworth and Langres, France, who
were attached to the general head
quarters staff at Chaumont, were COM
pared by General Sherburne to chill
dren who, having a toy they knew
would be taken away from them with
in one or two days, made the most of
it for the short time left.
Declaring that responsibility should
be placed for the attacks of armistice
morning, General Sherburne said that
in every case where guilt was proved
immediate dismissal from the service
should result.
Accurate figures on American losses
on November IL should be obtainable
at the War Department, the general
told the committee, but members in
formed him that efforts>to obtain these
figures had been without result.
