Drilling Girl Army in China

From China Philosophy of War and
 Peace,'' by T. Y. Leo, in Asia maga-
 zine.
 Sun Wu, commonly known as Sun-tze native of Chi. wrote systematic treatise on the Art of War in thirteen chapters. As his ability was not recog- ntzed in his own state, he took himself away to the state of Wu (modern Ki- angsW, where he introduced himself to Lord Ho-lu by submitting his war treatise for his lordships examination. little later Lord Ho-lu said to Sun:
 T have read all your thirteen chap ters. Can you make a demonstration of your practical knowledge by performing a maneuYer on a small scale?''
 Sun answered that he could
 And can you make the experiment with women?"
 As Sun replied that it was quite prac- ticable, selection of 1So girls from among the court ladies and palace maids vas soon made. These Sun divided into two companies. Two of Ho-lu's favorite girls were appointed as corporals. Then he gave explicit and minute directions as to the ways of marches and counter marches, and most urgently enjoined the girls to obey his commands. However, at his first command, Right, Turn the girls giggled and laughed in chorus. Sun said it was the fault of the commander if good discipline were not maintained Tn the army; and then, having again ex- plained things all lover, and enjoined obe- dience he issued an order that they should turn to the left Unhappily. again the girls roared with laughter Where upon Sun said the fault this time lay with the corporals, whom he forthwith ordered away to be executed.
 All this time Ho-lu had been sitting at higher spot, watching the maneuver Seeing now what Sun was going to do, he hastily sent to say that his lordship was already full aware of the generals abil- ity in conducting an army; but he de- sired that the two corporals be par doned. In reply, Sun declared that a commanding general, while in his army, would not receive any command even rom his lord. And the corporals accord

the township was quickly put into shape by electing A. Clinton Decker as mayor and six representative counsil- men. The city business has been strictly business-like and in no in stance have the city officials tried to shift or neglect the responsibilities wished on them by the people. Their motto of Work first and talk after wards has served them we'll on many occasions. especially when they de- cided to incorporate the part of Fair field that was at that time considered in the Birmingham limits.
 Cooperation at all times being a means of quick attainments, the Fair field business men are known for standing together.
 Unity has been the means of organi- zing strong Chamber of Commerce, which has the progress of Fairfield as its central interest.
 At recent meeting it was decided to arrange concerts for the civic cen ter during the summer months so that the people of Fairfield and Sun day visitors might pass the time more pleasantly. The council voted to erect a band stand and the price of the band will be raised by the business and industrial organizations of the district.
 Other plans of interest to the city will be worked out by the Chamber of Commerce in the near future.

Chinese Fighting Spirit Not Dead

From "China's Philosophy of War and
 Peace,' by T. Y. Leo, in Asia maga-
 zine.
 China, as an old and highly civilized nation, lives, speaks acts, sleeps and wakes up in periods of long centuries. She is reluctant to waste her energy on any accomplishment, however brilliant and clever, that can add nothing to the moral or spiritual greatness of her peo- pie. Indeed, her civilization has reached such stage that she has no use for any transient glory and success to be won only by means of either antiquated and ill-prircipled diplomacy or primitive and ungodly brute force. Yet China does not exactly shrink shudderingly from fight if necessity demand 1t, for fighting has been as much innate in the nature of her people as 1t has been in yours. What has apparently made a world of differ ence between the Chinese and the rest of the world is that while you admire the fighting spirit, worship it, and do every thing to promote it, we, on the contrary, have ever been condemning 1t. curbing it and forcing it to lie dormant until it almost ceases to respond spontaneously to any call short of life and death. Never- theless, this spirit in the Chinese is not dead: it is there, quite alive and serenely waiting. Wiseacres invariably would say that fighting needs an army and navy, and that an army and navy de- pend on organization and discipline. But this is only superficially true; for China is grand old witch. She learns by her experience of forty or fifty centuries: she learns from the history Of the whole world; and she knows that ancient Greece never gained her victory over Persia wholly through her better discipline and organization of her fighting people, and that Prussian Germany in our day was never defeated by the allies because of inefhciency of her army or the inferior ity of her guns and gas. Be that as it may, with the present European settle ment regarding Shantung as hard blow at her, China will conquer the world in due time. She can conquer the world and she can conquer the conqueror of the world. In all probabilities she will never need to follow the teachings of her great ancient Shantung strategists. Virtue tri- umps. Honesty wins. Chinese philosophy leads

HYPATIAN CLUB
 ALWAYS ACTIVE
Supports French and Ar menian Orphans in Addi-
 tion to Other Work

The Hypatian Literary Club of Fairfield was organized April 14 1914 and shortly after organization became Federated with the Alabama Fedora ton of Clubs, being the first in the dis trict to join.
 The early years of the club were spent in the study of the Bayview courses and later became part of the Breat unit of war workers who served and did active work for war causes. Correlated with this work the mem berg made a complete study of the late war.
 During the present year the club is

This time the girl companies marched and turned at his commands as regularly as clock work and all as silent as the grave. Sun sent to Ho-lu to report that the companies were all in order, would go through fire and water at his lordship's wish; and to request the presence of his lordship at the maneuver- ground. Ho-lu said that he desired the general to return to his residence for rest, as he was not in the humor to review the maneuver.

A. c. DECKER Mayor of Fairfield

Standing tip-toe with expectancy for things that are to be, the little city of Fairfield is today making prog ress so rapidly that last years history is ancient and the future is bulging with so many bright prophecies that the present is threatened with eclipse
 When rumors become facts, Fair field, the heart of the industrial sec tion of the district will be overworked with the demands made upon 1t from every point of view. There are visions of an influx of people as this district never knew even it's mad rush of pioneer days, and those who feel the re- sponsibility of caring for an already over populated district are con- tinuously asking the question, What will we do?" The miles and miles of beautiful woodlands stretching on every side, and especially the site surrounding the magnificent new base hospital of the T. c. I. Company can be made the most beautiful residence section in the district which will ac- commodate hundreds of families.
 Eliminating the visions of the near future, the progress of the past year stands as a remarkable example of Fairfield's growth Having become municipality by an act of the legisla- ture in the summer the government of
