TONIGHTS. MEETINd.
There is so much of Importance as
regards registrants, in tonight's
meeting at tne Tabernacle, that the
Observer wishes to lend its voice of
appeal to all registrants to be there.
Government agents who are familiar
with certain cancers eating 'at the
core of our young manhood, , have
something to tell, and they expect at
tendance of registrants. The Ob
server knows whereof It speaks,
when it says that mothers and fath
ers wilt be relieved to hear of the
precautions Uncle Sam has taken to
prevent their boys from contamlria
. tion.
; The meeting is, In somo respects,
of greater importance to the regis
trants themselves, than any meeting
yet held in Ln Grande.
NEW OFFENSIVE BEGUN.
American red blood thrills today
at the news that the allies have un
dertaken a general offensive in PI
cardy where only a few weeks ago
the Germans pushed the allies toward
the sea with stunning force, and the
outcome of which -held the world
oinsp. Here Is to tho success of tho
drlve-r-may tho huns be driven out
of Picardy.
Picardy, you will remember, is his
torically one of tho most distinguish
ed provinces of 'Franco. In. Picardy,
ttnturies ago, blood wns spilled by
warriors bold in quantities relatively
a copious as last spring, when the
.allies were knocked off their feet
Maybe Picardy,' like the Maine, dis
trict, will add another chapter to his
tory, but bno more glorious to civili
zation thnn the Plainly disaster of
early summer.
Come on, you allies! Rid Picardy
of huns!
The true test of patriotism is ap
plied to the farmer who leaves his

(Wrlltoh for the Unit'd Proas. )
LONDON. Aug. man who
rldos a bicycle wpndors bow on earth
It Is possible to fall off, jus, us a man
who . Is liftrnlng to r'dc .wonders
how on earth it Is po.;tiblc to stay
on. , -
That Is a contrast which every
musketry Instructor mnsi. l!ep con
tinually iu his mind. It he does net
he will forgffV that to the new re
cruit the rifle is a new and pcrhapi
a dangorous thing. H-i approaches
It with respect. Exactly ns with the
bicyclo he.wondora not only how lie'
will manage It, und what it will do to
him. That is why you cannot drill
men In shooting .as you can drill
them Into forming fou-s, and why
with harshness and Impatience you
may spoil, a good man at musketry.
You are doing more than, to teach
him to do a new thing, jou aro put
ting a strange, liistrdr.irnt into his
hnnds, as you might gh'e him a cur-'
lous animal, and he hai to became
accustomed to It. If you let him. use
It wrongly, If you let, 1 lm flro hU
first shot with a.lobso vlp and hurt
himself with the kic't, you may
make hltn permanently afraid of .it.
That is un obvious carelessness
which every good Instructor avoids,
but he has to; do more, !m has to re
member thnt every muH with Ima
gination enough to leant' at ull must
have a certain gun shyness nt first
even If he never shows it, and must
wonder whnt the first :.!iot will fejc-1
knows Is a hard thing 'a keep that
perpetually nnd conclo-isjy in mind.
.Men Shows iNedvoncss.
Gun shyness Is n well choson ex
pression nnd in the exact souse of
It r,very man is gun shy r.t tho begin
ning, but it is used nioio often simp
ly to describe tliu mora nbvlous Dhv-
sicnr nervousness that some meni
show when they first handle a rllta. !
It Is very difficult to find a cause, for ii
It. It may perhaps be a repugiince
to sudden noise, a repugnance which, J
if you knew the mnli'i post, yoii i
would find to have shown Itself lu
other ways. At tho same time it Is i s
Interesting to note that artillery of-jj
(leers do not find as much gun shy-ii
nesa among tholr men ns niirlit ue!j
expected from the greafei volume vf
noise.: Or It may be the excesslvo:
nervousness of an imaginative man
at handling n dangerous thing for i
tho first time In his life; or it nrij:
In rare cases, bo a d'lllnito fear
some particular accldmt, a four of
which the man himself Is perfectly ii
conscious. i
It was so In n case of n man with J
glasses who pinched badly at every j
shot, lie had n brother who als.ijj
wore glasses nnd who had been i
blinded In one eye by r sudden ex-1 J
plosion. Ho was in contlnunl foari
ot tho same accident. Tho only
thing wus to put him to shoot with- '
out his glasses. Ho wa shortslght-ji
ed but could !CC well enough at the ; J
short ranges. It did not mutter at 1
all that at five hundred r.nd six bun- J
drd and six hundred y.vtds he could
lilt Vnthlng. At two Vundred mill (
threivbtmcliVirire-eould learn In use J
his rille; and when hor'ew to know i
It, he would probably want .IiimaeJC
o soe belter nnd tnko to his glasses
again. '
Dlirirult Case.
But clear cases of -hat sort aie J
rare, and there Is no mnortunlty to J
try nnd trnco tho itcrvins'tess hark (
to Its source. All that 'ho musketry
officer has Is the m;
puzzled, rather sham
who for eonie reason at all that h
can find, trembles when ho gooi ,
down with a tlllo. or bicaka Into a',1
sweat, or cannot soq clearly; and hrt
has to put heart Into Mint man and'
muko him a llttcl more than tho best
of himselfi ,
Tnese -arf- tho most, difficult and
tho most Inteiwstlng cases that an
InstniL-tor has to liandln. He has to
watch them closely, be Toady -to en-1
courage them, see at once when they
aro doing better, K he once letB
Ihenr think that be dosplses thorn,
If ho merely tries to discipline them,
If ho, makes them ulrni.l to speak of
themselves, he will do nothing. For
ho never knows that there muv not
he some simple thing, like that
innn's fear of breaking his glasses,
which can be put right, if only tho
man will sponk of It; und even If
thora is not,- tho moro .-. matt knowj
you nro Introsted In '.ilni, the more
ho will try to master himself. '
