stage Of the world war when 1t was
impossible to give much needed rest
to these animals. There were not
enough to do the work which con-
fronted them, and the result was that
it was necessary to keep on the
move forty-eight, sixty and some
times seventy-two hours. with hard
ly more than a pause. Then 1T was
POSSIBLE only to feed small amount
Of grain and few handfuls OF hay
Under this strain the mule went Tor
ward, giving his all uncompiain-
ingly.
sometimes when engaged 1t would
seem impossible to get MN pack 10
~ front again. but his powerful
cnnstitution came to his rescue. and
in a remarkably short time he was
able to return to duty. The mule has
aiwavs been given the credit of hav-
ing his full quota OF DRAINS, out AT
times it seemed he had more than MS
share. He may run Wuen hilchsu "
a wagon. but Invariably does no harm

he makes his condition known by

not come to the fore during the days
of st. Mihiel and in the Argonne.
INSTANCES have been known where
a macy mule would loaf about the
army kitchen while the cook was
baking bread until he observed the
COOK busy at some other duty. when
he would approach the fire. raise one
foot and paw off the lid of the Dutch
oven. grab the hot loaf within and

A good many farmers these days

principles, but the Army loves and
admires him for services rendered
and would like to see him get the
DISTINGUISHED service medal. Perhaps
his valor and consistency IN war time
will recommend him to softer senti.

charged with disturbing the peace
and some other equally ridiculous
offense. We did not have to stay In
the station house very long because
some one bailed us out.
when think of the enormous rents
that are being paid in New York and
elsewhere 1 look back to those days
with a great deal of interest. We
paid 1885 month rent for the Hud-
son River Hall. 1t would cost more
than that a week now to rent an
Office in that section of New York.
While, officially, we started the
work Of the Salvation Army in the
United States, it was actually started
by a family named Shirley. who were
members of the army in England.
they had obtained q position in the
mills in the Kensington district of
that city. about a year befor we came
to America
They wrote to England to Gen.
Booth, and asked him to send some of
the work here. The general wrote
them that he did not have the officers
to spare, but would do 80 in a few
months. He told them to start serv-
ices themselves, which they did.
One Of the daughters. Miss Eliza
Shirley, q captain in the army In Eng
land. is still living. the widow Of Ad-
jutant Symmonds. She and her par
ents and sisters began the work in
the United States on a Sunday after
noon in October, 1879, by holding
services on the street corner at OK
ford street and Germantown avenue
Within a few weeks they had OBJ
tanned the use Of an old chair factory
nearby, where they held meetings
during the week and on Sundays.
There were no chairs in the hall. the
roof leaked and the place was In a
general state of bad repair. However.
they kept on and when we visited
them in 1880 they had substantial
following.
Managed to Get Rent.
Shortly after We located In New
York, Commissioner Railton left to
establish posts in other cities. leav-
ing me in charge of the work in New
York. 1t was hard work, but some
how or another / always managed to
have the $685. for the rent the first
Of every month.
A great change has taken place in
the hearts and minds Of the American
people regarding the Salvation Army
in the last forty years. When first
came here from England. we were
the objects of ridicule. and a mark
for all the loose mud and rotten to-
matoes within reach. Today members
of the Salvation Army are treated
with respect everywhere they go.
This has come about, 1 believe, be-
cause the people have seen that we
are in earnest about our work, that
we don't mind ridicule: that they can
but most important, they see the
amount Of good we are doing and
have done for the poor. the down.
trodden and the fallen.

~ LID compacts in the guise OF
new wording, old alliances
with notifications caused by
present conditions, and swift
steps toward the old selfish European
scramble for the perpetuation OF ma
tional instead of continental interests
are dawning.
The league Of nations. as has been
predicted. without the moral influence
Of the United States is becoming a
thing chimerical. Governments OF Eu-
ropean nations today are resorting to
old-time diplomacy, old-time scheming
and intrigue. Events OF the day are
but emphasizing the racial and tenn
permamental antipathies Of the vari-
Gus European countries who were
grouped together for common defense
in the war with Germany. That was
a conflict of self-preservation. The
contest raging in Europe today is the
conquest of national expansion.
The spirit Of the early days OF the
Paris peace conference. when undying
fealty to wartime alliances was
pledged, has disappeared. France is
thinking Of France. England of the
British empire, Italy Of italy. and the
whole situation has settled down to a
race for the strong. And each of the
European allies today is endeavoring
to bolster strength to such point that
the maximum Of national interest may
be achieved during the reconstruction
period.
New Wars May BE Bred.
racial and political alliances will be
formed which will dominate the old
world for century unless there are
new wars to break up close-knit af-
filiations and cause new readjustments.
And with the present mad scramble for
the realization of strictly national
aims new wars will be brought in
f1nitely nearer. Impressions and preju-
dices newly created in the diplomatic
pickering for position Is certain to last
through decades.
Peoples Of Europe are not quick to
forget and forgive as are Americans
1t is difficult for Americans to realize
why old grudges are tenderly nursed
by all peoples through all times, but
this being fact, the grudges Of the
moment may eventuate in struggles
for mastery in the future.
The San Reno conference has cast
the die. The CULTS that exist between
allied nations have been more marked.
AS the San Reno parley adjourns
there are some things that have been
made definite.
France is standing alone in the per-
petuation of French aims, and. as
cons equence, has alienated her strong
est allies.
Tie Turkish treaty. the old policy
of spoils. has been carried out to the
fullest. Little sympathy may be found
for the Turks, but the fact neverthe-
less remains that in the splitting up
of the sultan's domain the allies have
been considering allied veal.
Fuel for Turkish Strife.
In the awarding of Thrace to Greece
the nationalists of Turkey have been
given greater fuel to be used in the
confiagration which is certain to start
as the result of the allied attempts
to coerce Turkey to accept and abide

Technical Air Service Training.

Enlistments in the balloon and air
ship division of the Army air service
are open to graduates of high schools
or to others technically qualified. Au-
thority has been given for the enlist
ment of 1900 men for the airplane
division and 900 for the balloon d.
vision, 1880 of which may be for one
years service. The lighter-than-a
branch Of the service offers oppor-
tunities to enlisted men in variety
of specialties. Observation balloons
require specialists in motor trans
portation and operation of winch en-
gines. Men are needed, also, for tel
ephone. telephone switchboard. tele-
graph and radio work. The manufac-
ture and use of hydrogen gas re-
quires the training of a considerable
number of men in chemistry and
gases. Enlisted men will be also re-
quired as radio operators. engine men
and steersmen in the flying crews of
airships. The advantages of learning
any of these skilled trades are held
to be of Unreasonable value to the
enlisted man when he returns to civil
life, because of the constant large
demand for skilled artisans.

Heating Oxygen at Attitudes.

oficers of the air service are con-
Quoting tests at Dayton, Ohio. Of
new apparatus for heating oxygen at
high attitudes to prevent recurrence
of failure at great heights, such as
nearly cost the life of Mai. Rudolph
Schroeder in his record-breaking
climb at Dayton several weeks ago:
The apparatus consists of conhSed
thermostatic interrupter in connec-
ton with electric resistance coils, at
tached to a Prouty oxygen generator.
The apparatus heats the oxygen as 1t
leaves the exhaust valve of the con-
tainer and keeps it heated until it
reaches the distributor. That pre-
vents any moisture present from
freezing in the delicate distributor.
1t also heats the oxygen again before
1T enters the pilots mask. Tests SO
far have proved the invention to be
of material value, and 1T is possible
that further improvements will be
made.

Army hereafter will act according to
their own individual ideas of courtesy
in the matter of salutations in greet

which. dating from 1913, provided that
on all occasions outdoors and also
in public buildings and on public car
rfers the salute to any person what
ever by officers and enlisted men in
uniform. but without arms. whether
on or OF duty, should be the right
hand salute and that the headdress
be not removed. This regulation was
later construed as including social
salutations to civilians. both ladies
and gentlemen. In 1917, however, the
regulations were modified so that the
salute might be omitted when pal
