At tha and of aa hour or ao. piece of shell took off tha breech of his pet rifle, and he returned discon solate; but after a few minutes ho gathered three rifles that wera left by wounded men and went back again."' In the Confederate armlea Individual soldiers were no less sklirull, cool and brave. On both aides they were Amer icans. A raw Caaea Oa October it, IKS.

In all Lhie cases medals of honor were rranasjtl. The incidents, however, are typicafl of the army. Thouaanda of similar stories might be told. They represent the spirit that will inspir the national army when the time comes to show tho stuff of which it is ma da Tales of heroic courage can be found in the annala of all armlea and of ai mtinm Rut tha American army has its own snecial tradition, which the Incidents illustrate. It Is the tradition of intelligence, eelf-relance, and. indl vldual daring on the part of men aerV' ing In the ranks. The Individual Boldlsi Oouats Other things being equal, an army mri ur nf self-reliant, thlnkln men has a great advantage over a merely mnr-hlna.lflca a.rmv. and this is e- pcial!y true in present-day warfare. XlaJor General Hugh U Scott, chief of staff. V. S. A., remarks on this point: "The conditions under which mod crn wars are fought are ever making increasing demands on the individual soldier. The individual soldier must know how to Interpret accurate ly order, and signals, for the enemy s fire may often so Isolate him from hla lea1er and comrades. DerhaDS Ouly a step away, that he may be thrown on Hla own initiative In maklna his actions conform to those of the whole line; he may have to use his own Judgment la opening fire, in advanc ing, in intrenching." rail- Flay A second tradition of the American army, which need only be mentioned, is that of fighting fairly and treating even tha enemy with as much human ity as his own conduct will permit. As for slaughtering or enalavlng tha civilian population of captured terri tory, attacking prlaoners or assault ing woman, American soldiers would as little commit such crimes ia time of war ss In time of peace. In this respect most of the civilised nations of the world think alike, righting for JUgnta and Prlnclplea There is a third splendid tradition of the American army which you will help to carry forward. It has fought always and everywhere in defense of principles and rights never merely for territory and for power. Even the Civil war resulted from tha clash of ODDoMne principles the principle of an indivisible Union upheld by the North, snd that of freedom to with draw from the Union upheld by the South. To protect the rights of citlsena. tho American people have, a vera! tiroes opposed tyrannical governments tho English govsrnuent la lTTf and lilt, tha French government for a short period la 1711. tha Mexican gov. eminent In 1S48, tha Spanish govern ment. In IStS. Tha final effect In each case hsus beea to advance tha causa of liberty and- democracy throughout the world, oven in tha countries against which we fought. Our weapons have not willingly been turned against any peoples, but only against th rulers who misgoverned and misled them. In fighting for our own rights, the Ameri can army haa fought also, in Presi dent Wilson's phrase, for th "rights f mankind." FarpoM Zs KigH For a like high purpose, 'the Ameri can people have an tared Into th pres ent war against the German govern ment a government which in our be lief misrepresents t-nd misleads the Oerman people. Only by so doing can we make America and the world "safe for democracy." But ona ending can be thought of an ending that wilt guarantee the continuance of all those principles snd rights which the Ameri can army haa in th past ao nobly fought to establish. Never lose sight, even for an Inatant. of tha fact that all your training, your efforts, and your sacrifices have this one great object in view, tha attain ment of which la worth anything It may coat.

II. (I. N. 8.) America must not be disgraced by failure to provide for the families of the soldiers it sends to the trenches. Secretary McAdoo declared Sunday la a statement urging support of th war insurance bill now In congTess. When American troops go to th battle lines, or to train for th lines, be said, their wives and children in many cases will be thrown upon the charity of their neighbors unless otherwise provided for. 'In September," ho said, "approx imately 800,000 men will be sent to the army camps throughout the country to train aa soldiers for the greatest war of all time. America's chance of winning the war and it is the power and resources of America that must win this war will ba In creased Immeasurably if the war in surance bill pending in congress ia promptly enacted into luw.

Engaging th Athletic has ceased to be th merry taak it was some tlm ago, but there is plenty ox evidence on which to base a claim that th Ath letics do not look ripe to take many victories from the champions. Following the battle in Philadelphia, the Red Sox will move to Cleveland and tha Athletics will go to Chicago to take a shot at th White Sox. Th Philadelphians took an awful wallop at the White Sox the last time they vlstfd Chicago, and their coming wonT be greeted with any welcome signs.
