"America For Americans"
THE ARMY AS A SCHOOL
i think that, ni au the experi
ences and adventures 1 have had ia
iiiv liiy thus far, those I glean
during my fourteea months ia th«j
lt-'^ular armyhav© iiad the most pio
touud effect iu, shaping my destiny.
The recraitiag posters will tell
yeu tiiat a year iu th© army will
leach your boy courage. It will.
Also, it will teaeh hiai how to die,
and iu teaching him this it will
teach him lio>v to live. And he
will learn ho>v V obey, iu. order toa
iu th© later battle of life he may
kuow Uow to command; it will
teach bim democracy, and if, af
ter lie has learned to defend his
touairy and hinijelf, he is called
upon to make practical use of his
education for the benefit of poster
ity, he will learn tenderness and
manliness and how to sacrifice with
out thinking about it. Yes, all
pacifists to the notwithstanding, he
will learn these things, even while
killing his fellow maa. And if you
ehotv xae a maa who has .been thru
active service and is now a pacifist
and denies this statement, i will
take the short end of a modest
bet that his record ia the war de
partment archives will prove him
a malingerer, oa sick report yfhea
he wasn't ia the guardhouse for
being a dirty, careless, Inefficient
soldier. Military, service ia the
United States army is a real job
with variegated details, many; of
them unpleasant to some natures,
hut none of them degrading, aad
the army is the ficest school ia the
.world for teaching a boy courage,
self-reliance, cleanliness and effi
ciency.—Peter Kyne, in the Ameri
can Magazine .j
RIGA DRIVE
The Teuton, capture of Riga and
its fortress may seem at first
thought to be a demoralizing; blow
to the Russians. But it may prove
tiie reverse.
The Russians aTe an Independ
ence-loving peoole. The audacity of
the Germans in .beginning to over
run Russia may; rouge the Indigna
tion of the Russian people. If It
succeeds ia doing that, It will
create a national unity, and that
is just jvhat Kerens:ky needs in the
critical hour.
TJ19 Russians are not losing to
day because they are Incapable.
They are giving ground because
there is lacls of national pride. The
revolution through, jv-hich they
have been passing has been absorb
ing their attention, and they ha-ve
forgotten the wolves "t the border.
Now that tne hosts of militar
ism are rushing Into regions for
generations free from the foot of an
invader, the Russians may have It
brought home to them that they
shortly will be reduced to the ser
vile position of other conquered

Extended-order drill will give
jour squad. Its first lesson la the
methods of advancing against en
emy; lines actually used in present
day warfare. You will first be
shown how to deploy as skirmish
ers. Moving at a run you and the
other men yrill place yourself in
one rank, tho interval between men
being about 15 inches, instead of
1 inches as in close-order drill. Thig
is the simplest form of deploy
ment, which may ha roughly do*
fined as spreading out a body ot
troops iu thin open lines so that
they may more easily advance even,
in the faoe of enemy fire.
The next step in exteude<l-arder
drill is to practice kneeling, lying
down, arid advancing at a Tun.
One of the most important fea
tures of this part Of your training
will consist of yeaTning to conceal
yourself from the view of thd enem^
by taking advantage of hillocks,
trees, heap of earth, rocks, gul
lies, ditches, doorways, windows, or
any other cover that may be at
hand. Your object is to reach tha
enemy. The more skillful you
are In the use of cover the smaller
the chances of your being disabled
during the attack.
This principle applies also if
you are ever fired upon while scout
ing or acting independently; drop
to the ground and seek cover, and
then try to locate the enemy.
Gradually you will become high
ly skilled in thij form of attack.
Not only will your skill increase
but also your confidence. You will
learn in time that troops standing
on the defensive behind! entrench
ments seldom fire upon on advanc
ing enemy with steadiness and !tc
curacy. The greater determination!
and energy you and your comrade^
show in the advance, the smaller
will be the chancy of your Buffer
ing severely from the enemy's fire
The problem of each individual
soldier is to obey the commands
and at the same time to use his
own judgment and skill in taking
advantage of cover as he advances.
It is especially important that you
should obey at once any directions
that may be given to you as to re
setting the sights on your rifle and
that the rapidity • of your firing
should be controlled by the orders
of your captafn.
Don't fail to keep in mind also
that you are a member of a big
team and that every member plays
an important part in contributing
to the success cf the team. "Tho
one requisite necessary to win the
battle is intelligent teamwork. Thee
army is handled just like a foot
ball team. A part is on tha first
line facing the enemy. Another
part, like the hal£ b^s, is held
back as supports- Another part,
like the full backs, is held as a re
serve. Each unit, like each play
er, has a certaiu duty to perform.
When the signal ls given, all work
together—all play the game—team
work."
UlUE TASK INVOLVED
IN THANSL*OKTLXli ARM!
Some idea of the enormity of
the task of moving the great bodies
of United States troops to be
raised may be gained from the fol
lowing figures: 6229 cars are neces
sary to transport an army of 80,
000 men. These cars would be
made up into 366 trains with as
many locomotives. There would
hav© to be 2115 tassenger coachee,
385 baggage, 1055 box, 1S99 stock
md 775 flat cars.
This quantity o" equipment repre
sents .7 per cent oj the locomo-j
tives owned by American railroads,
1.2 per cent of their passenger cars
ind .2 per cent of th*tr full equip- j
ment, says Popular Science monthly.
states noTC bound and gagged by

The iron heel of Prussianlsm
now is suspended above the Russian
2eople. Will they thrust it aside,
>r allow it to come down upon.
:aem and hold them fast while the
roke is put upon their neck. Tha
thought that 180,000,000 people bo
.mbued with the spirit! of democracy
is Russia will submit to this hu
miliation is unbelievable.
Surely the Russians will awaken
md soon hurl back the invader and
jontiaue an unconquered people,
preserving the traditions of the

nviolate their pledge to democratic
lilies.—Dawson News.

A Confirmed
Statement
Evidence Skogwoy Headers Will
Appreciate
Doau'g Kidney Pills have done
splendid work.
Have merited the uustinted praise
they have received.
Here's evidence of th'eif value
that none can doubt.
It's testimony that's twice-told
and well confirmed.
Such endorsements aref unique inj
the annals of medicine.
Should convince the most skepti
cal reader.
F. A. Sutton, tentg and awnings
dealer, 396 Hoyt St., Salem, Ore.,
says: "I had kidney trouble and
rheumatic twinges ten yearg or
more. My back gave me a great
deal of bother and sharp paines ex
tended all through my body. I
was all run down, lost weight and
was in poor health. Doaji'a Kid
ney Pills made me feel like a dif
ferent man. My appetite improved
and the aching and pains left) me."
(Statement given Jan. 31, 1906).
On April 13, 1916 Mr. Sutton
added: "Whenever my kidneys
aren't acting right I take Doan's
Kidney Pills for a few days and
they never fail to overcome the
trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
jet Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Sutton had. Foster-Mil
