Healthiest Men to

Indian and Spanish-American Veteran Eager to Take Part in Bat

BY CHARLES W. DUKE
KEEP yourself in tiptop shape physically if you want your nation and your
democracy to come through the cataclysm of the present world war
rugged and strong for the futurel
This is the "tip" straight from the famous old Indian-Moro fighter, the
apostle of the big outdoors, Major General Hugh L. Scott, former chief of
staff of the United States army and now commandant of Camp Dix, the
home of the Seventy-eighth division of the new national army, composed of
more than 42,000 boys from New York, New Jersey and Delaware.
Surely no one Is more thoroughly
qualified to speak from the standpoint
of physical preparedness than General
Scott. At the age of 64 years he re
cently panned the rigid physical exam
ination at Washington and came through
wlth flying colors. Others failed at that
examination many of them younger
generals than the Indian veteran while

ing and "weighing In" and breathing ex

his preliminary tests.
"Thy told me down at Washington I
had the normal blood pressure of a man
of 35." said the famous old fighter as
he stalked across the parade ground and
led the way Into division headquarters.
From the east window of his office
could be seen a long line of khaki wend
ing Its way In precise formation part
of the Seventy-eighth ready for service

"How do you do It and how do you

you watch the bronzed veteran stalk ma
Jestlcally across the field, fresh from
an Inspection of camp and troops in a
remote section of the cantonment. Strong
steely gray eyes gase out upon you
from the kindly yet firm face of this
sturdy American, who, by the way, is a
great-great-grandson of Benjamin
Franklin, and. therefore combines some
of the philosophy of "Poor Richard"
with his own military training.
General Scott Is a man of few words.
By the Indians, who revered and re
respected him, the general was known
as "Mole Tequop." which, being Inter
preted, means, "Talks with his hands."
This because General Scott learned the

ual. but the nation. - With It In effect

From the standpoint of man power
General Scott views also the situation
after the war when the nations shall
have counted the terrible toll In Uvea.
Millions have fallen already In . bottle
and as the war. continues many more
will fall. Thousands will come home
maimed and Incapacitated for- the diiM
ues iney periormea oexore tne .war.
The world must carry forward Its -Work
regardless of these dead and i injured,
and this, he declares, la but ! Another
sound argument for physical fitness
among those who remain. I I -.
"Casualty lists are certain to (orae as
our men are thrown Into the conflict In
greater numbers. Just as they have com
to every other nation Involved, i he says.
"We must be prepared to take' care of
the situation after the war. . In the re
construction period it will be very essen
tial that w have a high standard of
physical fitness It our nation Is to en
dure for the future. It has been-shown
that war Increases the death rate and
decreases the birth rate. We have re
cent statistics from Great Britain,
France and Germany on these scores.
We must make ourselves strong tor the
future It America la to maintain her
high plac before the world."
Plain living, plenty of exercise,
wholesome food, sleep and recreation.
few worries and "no fussing" are some
of the things In the Scott code of liv
ing that have brought him along to a
hardy manhood on the threshhoid of the
allotted threescore and ten. Restriction In
food supplies during war time will help
rather than endanger human life in this
country. People can fot less and be
healthier, according to his point of view,
especially If they avoid the stimulants
and "luxury foods" In favor of simple
diet In moderate quantity
If Hugh L Scott had ever "fussed"
over things he would never have got
army lieutenant and thus was equipped
to settle many disputes and prevent
many bloody encounters simply by the
wigwagging of his fingers. As a fore
word to what the general has to say
about keeping physically fit, let It be
known also that the Indians called him
"White-Man-Who-Does-Not-Lle ;" that is
the George Washington appellation
that has "followed him everywhere he
has gone.
Sunshine and
Fresh Air
"Guess ft was because I have spent
the greater part of my life outdoors,"
was his reply In answer to a question
as to how he had kept himself in good
condition all these years so that at 64
he could pass the army's rigid wartime
test so easily.
"Most of my life I've been out in the
opep, riding by day ana sleeping ny
night out under the stars. There Is
nothing so good for the physical man as
the life right out in the sunshine and the
fresh air. Look at these men out there
on the parade ground. Picture them
when they came to Camp Dir and then
look at them now. Every man straight
and manly, firm step, clear eye, muscles
hard as Iron, good wind, good appetites,
ready for the word to- go and ready to
rive a good account of himself 1 That
shows the benefit of outdoor life, keep- 1
lng in good trim with plenty of exer
cise and clean living."
General Scott figures one of the great
good things that will result from the
war will be the creation of a higher
physical standard for the young men of
America.
He malntalna that when these men
come back from Europe they are going
to have a new appreciation of the ben
efits of exercise and general outdoor
health. This goes particularly for the
men of the urban districts of our coun-f
try. The Boy Scout movement, by tax
ing the elty boy out Into the country,
has laid the foundation of this move
ment; the great world war will accel
erate it and make us a stronger nation.
A man who will live In the trenches as
these men will, out In the rain and the
sunshine, having grown accustomed to
the rough-and-ready life of the soldier,
will come back with a new conception
of life and he will want to continue to
live the healthy, rugged life to which he
has crown accustomed.
Of the men who come up in the draft
for examination a large percentage have
been turned back for physical defects.
Many of these physical shortcomings

was always "boots and saddles' for

he was chief of staff In Cuba, and later
went out to the Philippines as governor
of .the Sulu archipelago. In 1907 he was
superintendent of the United States mll-

Getting to the front Is his chief am
bition. Although 64 years old he is In
his prime and fortified with knowledge

Russia as well. His friends say his age
is no barrier regardless of his experi

kaiser's mainstay, is 70 years old. Gen
eral van Mackensen, the Serb-Rpuman-
lan despoller, is 69. Von Ludendorf of
Germany, and Petain and Joffre, the
French general, are all past 60 years.
While General Scott was superintend

The German was greatly impressed by
what he saw, and carried a photograph

AT a dinner party in Washington, tn old lady sat listening to the talk of the '
r young people surrounding her, her children and her grandchildren with
their guests. The conversation concerned the provision made for the tol-
dters and sailors entering the present conflict and the protection made by
the government for their kith and kin.
As her grandson, who occupies t government position, told how the en
listed men were urged by the government to take up war risk Insurance tn
amounts never before offered, on- terms whose generosity was never before
conceived, the old lady gave yet more intent ear to the conversation. The
young man told how the soldier or sailor is being given opportunity of tak
ing out war risk insurance in amounts from 1 1000 to 10,000 which would
provide for his loved ones If need came, and would help rehabilitate him if he
became disabled through misfortunes of war, or would form a nest egg for
his future independence if he returned home unharmed. -

MRS. MARY, K. PEROUTKA
are due to the fact that they have lived
cramped lives indoors, a prey to Indif
ference and inertia. Some of the men
who are qualified at first, only to fall
a victim to the hard grind after a while
might not have "bunked" had they lived
differently.
: "Live clean that's the best way to
live long," is General Scott's motto.
"Every man and woman is interested In
the proposition of how to be stronger
and so live longer. This Is an era of
human conservation. 'Save the babies !'
Is the cry heard, and we have campaigns
every year now to save the lives of
many thousands of infants that might
have perished but for the safeguards
thrown around them through the super
vision of enlightened society and gov
ernment aid. More attention is given to
physiology and hygiene lnour schools,
&nd so It should be.
"See what happens when we come to
a time of national crisis and our young
men are called forward to serve their
country In the trenches ! Only the finest
of the physically fit are qualified for
the service. Life at the front demands
every ounce of vitality and punch'
possible in the human body; the man
weighed in the balance and found want
lng goes into the discard. It is neces
sarily so. Our nation rises or falls
according to the physical standards of
her men and women. The history of
the world shows that every great civil
ization went to Its doors eventually be
cause unnatural living undermined the
social and physical fabric."
Man Power to
Win War
General' Scott figures that not only
the soldier, but the man behind the man
behind the gun the stay-at-home In the
mill and shop must keep himself as
physically fit now as the men we are
sending to Europe.
It Is imperative, he thinks, that the
shipyards, the munition shops, the farm
ers in the field and the workers at the
benches keep steadily to their tasks If
we are to win. Every hour and every
day lost at this particular time means
that much material lost, and Just so is
the cause of the kaiser advanced. A
headache that keeps a worker from his
work, a headache due to some Indiscre
tion or some avoidable cause. Is an un
patriotic act. The boys in the trenches
are giving their all to make us safe at
home and to safeguard our civilisation
for the future. It Is as little as the
stay-at-home can do to keep himself In
trim In order that the lads at the front
may be supplied with the sinews of war
without Interruption.
Army Held
Best Insurance
Back of that, however, he agrees.
looms the fact that many more millions
than are now under arms may be
needed to slem the swollen tide of Ger
man militarism that threatens to engulf
the world. Long before we went Into
the war General Scott held out for a
large standing army as an insurance
agamst molestation and a safeguard
against a possible foreign invasion.
While chief of ' staff he advocated an
army of 2,000,000 men.
Winning the war resolves Itself, there
fore, to a matter of men. he contends.
We must have the trained men to win
the war. It Is not for us to sit down
and try to figure out how long the war
Is going to last or how many men will
be required to win the war. In the big
offensive let loose the last week In
March, Germany turned all her avail
able millions Into battle the men on the
western front and the men from the
eastern front. England and France
nave poured their millions Into it. It Is
up to the United States to get her
trained millions into action If we are
to win the war.
It takes men to make armies and
armies to win wars. America's man
power must be counted on to swing the
balance against the Central empires.
Thousands, of our allies have been
slain or wounded or taken prisoner, and
still Germany ' throws her divisions
against the line of General Halg. Slow

ones were concerned for the fighting

Great Change
Is Noted
with the German military machine. This
is not the time, then, for the weak
kneed, for the physically unfit, for head
aches or cold feet. We want good,
sturdy, strong-men to carry us forward
to victory, and It therefore behooves
every American to get himself Into
good trim as quickly as possible,
whether he goes now to the battlellne,
or stands In reserve, or as an Industrial
auxiliary.
More than ever General Scott cham
pions universal military training. A
pioneer In the movement, he has always
insisted the best interests of the nation
would be served by having her young
men instructed in military training.
This training would come during the
adolescent stage, when youths are turn
ing from boyhood Into manhood, at that
period of character formation when
many of them drift Into slipshod habits
In leisure moments when they might
better be upbuilding their bodies and
serving the nation at the same time.
'mere is no militarism about such a
doctrine, he maintains. It is plainly a
question of plain common sense and
patriotism. Had we had compulsory
military training In this country our
millions of well-trained troops would
have been ready when we went Into the
war a year ago. They could have been
sent to Europe long ere this and Instead
of a German offensive this spring the
tables would have been turned.
Military training, he points out, will
take high school boys out of poolrooms
and such places and put them out under
the open sky In the fresh air and teach
them the care of their bodies. From the
standpoint of physical benefit and the
moral toning up that would come from
such a departure the thing is worth
having. Universal military training Is
democratic, reliable, efficient and eco-
where he ia today Alwaya he had the
hardest kind of assignments, but they
rode lightly on his mind, and, therefore,
he always managed "to get away with
them" In very satisfactory fashion. This
was particularly true when he went after
Sitting Bull and Geronlmo ; when he was
sent after four infamous Plutes and
brought them back; when he was sent
against the Moros as governor of the
Sulu archipelago and got along so well
that he not only brought the brown
skinned natives into the fold of Uncle
Sam, but induced them to give up slav
ery; also when he waa sent after Villa
and after meeting him on the border so
won the heart of the Mexican "bad man"
that the latter sent General Scott a
wonderful blanket with the announce
ment to Ms friends that he considered
the Americano "one of the best scouts
he had ever met In the world."
"Don't worry" . Is a fetish with Gen
eral Scott. To look at him is to gaze
upon a paragon of Iron nerve and steel
courage.
Wants to See
Active Service
"A lot of people are worrying about
the war," he says. "Worry will never
win the war. It will do more harm than
good. The thing to do is to stop the
worry and the fretting and the fuming
and get right down to business."
"However, there la just one thing
that General Scott does worry about
himself at this particular time, despite
his "don't-worry" admonitions. It might
be called his chlef concern" Instead of
his worry. And that Is whether he Is
going to see active service in France.
His - vigor and enthusiasm have not
abated with the years, and he la today

Now, after a lapse of some yeara

In the five months from October t.

When the idea of war risk Insurance
