This course of thirty daily lessons
ia offered to the men aelectei for ser
vice in the National Army as a prac
tical help in getting started ia the
right way. It is informal in ton and
doss not attempt to give binding rules
and directions. These are contained
in the various manuals and regula
tion of the United States Army, to
which this Coarse i
Your Post of Honor
You sre called to serve as a soldier
in the National Army, because that is
one of your obligations as a citizen
of the United States. The citizens of
a republic must always be ready in the
hour of need to leave their own homes
and take up arms in defense of their
rights and principles. Otherwise thr
Republic could not long continue to
exist. The men who now enter mil
ilary service deserve the gratitude and
respect of their fellow citizens.
You are doubtless making a heavy
sacrifice in order to perform this duty
to your country. Hundreds of thou
sands of other young men and their
families sre face to face with simi
lar sacrifices. All our citizens will
sooner or Ister be called upon each
tr bear his or her share of the bur
den. Men and women, rich and poor,
all alike must do whatever is necess
ary and must give up whatever is
necessary. For no personal interests
or feelings can be permitted to stand
in the way at a time when the safe
ty and honor of the country are at
stske.
As a citizen soldier you are chosen
for a post of special distinction. Amer
ica is justly proud of the soldiers oi
the past who have won for us the
rights today denied and put in ser
ious danger by the high-hsnded at
tacks of the German Government.
America will be no less proud of yew,
as you fight to uphold those rights.
Your personal responsibility it
greet. As wsrfsre is today conduct
ed, the individual soldier counts for
more than ever before. Your own
skill and bravery, no matter how hum
ble your rank, may easily he import
ant factors in deciding whether an en
gagement is to be won or lost. You
can not depend upon anyone else
to carry this personal responsibility
for vou; you must depend upon your
self. Some American Soldiers
Americans aer well-fitted to meet
this test. During the Civil War, st
the battle of Antietam. the 7th Maine
Infantry lay, hugging the ground, un
der s furious storm of shot and shell.
Private Knox, who srat a wonderiul
shot, asked leave to move nearer the
enemy. For an hour afterward his
campanions heard bis rifle crack everv
few minutes. His commanding officer
finally, from sheer curiosity, "crept
forward to sat what he was doing,
and found that he had driven every
man away from one section of a Con
federate battery, tumbling over gun
ner after gunner as they came forward
to fire. 'At the end of an
hour or so, a piece of shell took off
the brcrch of his pet rifle, and he re
turned disconsolate; but after a few
minutes he gathered three rifles that
were left by wounded men and wept
back again."
In the Confederate armies individu
al soldiers were no less skilful, cool
and brave. On both sides they were
Americans.
Here are a few cases quoted from
official records. You must read be
tween the lines to get the full bene
fit of the stories they tell of resource
fulness and courage.
Oa, June 9, 1862. Private John Gray,
5th Ohio Infantry, "mounted on an
artillery horse of the enemy on an
tured a brass 6-pound piece, in the
face of the enemy's fire, and brought
it to the rear."
On October 12. 1863. Private Mach
ael Dougherty, 13th Pennsylvania
Cavalry, "at the head of a detachment
of his company, dashed across an
open field, exposed to a deadly fire
from the enemy, and succeeded in
dislodging them from an unoccupied
house, which he and his comrades de
fended for several hours against re
peated attacks, thus preventing the
enemy from flanking the position of
the Union forces."
From May 8 to 11, 1864, Private
John B. Lynch, 3rd Indiana Caval
ry, "carried important dispatches from
the President to General Grant, pass
ing through the enemy's country, es
caping capture, delivered his mess
ages and returned to Washington
with replies thereto."
On April 27. 1899. Private Edward
White. 20th Kansas infantry, dur
ing a fight with Insurgents in the
Philippine Islands, "swam the Rio
Grande de Pampanga in face of the
enemy's fire and fastened a rope to
the unoccupied trenches, thereby
enabling the crossing of the river and
the driving of the enemy from his for
tified position."
On May 6, Private William P. Mac
lay, 43rd U. S. Volunteer Infantry,
"charged an occupied bastion, saving;
the life of an officer in a hand-to-hand
combat and destroying; the en
emy." In all these cases medals of honor
were granted. The incidents, howev
er, are typical of the army. Thou
ands of similar stories might he
told. They represent the) spirit that
will inspire the National Army when
thr time comes to show the stuff ot
which it is made.
Tales of heroic courage can be
iound in the annals ot all armies and
ot all nations But the American
Army has its own special tradition,
vhich these incidents illustrate. It is
the tradition of- intelligence, self-re
liance, and individual daring on the
part of men serving in the ranks.
The Individual Soldier Counts
Other thiiiKs ben'ii equal, an army
adc up of srlf-relant, thinking men
has a great advantage over a merely
machine-like army, and this is espec-
lly true in present-day war
fare. Major General Hugh 1. Scott.
Chief of Staff. U, S. A . remarks on
this point:
The conditions under which mod
ern wars arc tough arc ever nuking
increasing demands on tlic individual
soldier. The individual
soldier must kno how to interpret
accurately orders and signals, for the
enemy's fire may often so isolate him
from his leader and comrades per
haps only a step away, that he may
be thrown on his own initiative in
making his actions conform to those
of the whole line; he may have to
use his own judgment in opening
fire, in advancing, in intrenching
Pair Play
A second tradition of the American
rmy. which need only be mentioned
is that of fighting fairly and treating
even the enemy with as much human
ity as his own conduct well permit
As for slaughtering or enslaving the
civilian population of captured terri
tory, attacking prisoners or assault
ing n-nmen. American soldiers would
as little commit such crimes in time
of war as in time of passes;. In this
tespect most of the eivilired nations of
the world think alike.
Fighting for Rights and Principles
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 ot
urinciples and rights never merel
for territory and for power. Kven tin
Civil War resulted from the clash of
opposing principles the principle of
an indivisible Union upheld by the
North, and that of freedom to with
draw from the Union upheld by the
South.
To protect the rights of citizens,
the American people have several
times oppos d tyrannical govern
ments the English government in
1776 and 1812. the French government
for a short period in 1798, the Mexi
can government in 1848. the Span
ish government in 1898. The final ef
fect in each case has been to advan
the cause of liberty and democrac;.
throughout the world, even in tip
countries against which we fought
Our weapons have not willingly been
turned against any peoples, but only
against the rulers who misgoverned
and misled them. In fighting for our
own rights, the American Army has
fought also, in President Wilson's
phrase, for the "rights of mankind."
For a like high purpose, t'ir Amer
ican eop!e have entered into the
present war against the German gov
ernment a government which in onr
belief misrepresents and misleads the
German people. Only hy s doing can
we make America and the world
"safe for democracy." But one ending
can be thought of an ending that
will guarantee thi continuance of all
those principles and rights which the
American Army has in thr past so
nobly fought to citalilish.
Never lose sight, even for an in
stant, of the fact that all your train
ing, your efforts, and you sacrifices
have this one gri at object in sirvv.
the attainment of which is wort!' any
thing it may cost.
