Learning io Obey Orders Thousands of young men for the first time in their lives are learning the lessons of obediance and of co-operation. Their sudden transfer from civilian to military life is teaching them the lesson in a thorough manner. They will never forget it. It will give a stability to their character that will never vanish. i Obedience is a requisite for military success. Without it, an army is a mob and a rabble, ineffective and self-destructive, unable to execute orders, an easy prey to the obedient soldiers of the enemy. Even in civilian life, obedience is one of the cardinal principles of success. No industrial or mercantile concern can succeed without organization, and organization is based on the obedience of the staff to the orders and requests cf the superiors. Ten thousand men have the physical strength and the determination to become an army. Until they have been taught to obey collectively the orders of their officers, they are useless for the purpose of attack or defense. Prompt," unquestioning and implicit obedience, trained and dril

led under the direction of authority, makes them an effective military unit. The young men that go into our cantonments must learn this lesson. The quicker they accept this fundamental fact of the military establishment, the quicker will they be converted into real soldiers. The Kansas City Star remarks with emphasis: "Success in the military art never yet was attained by a commander who could not trust his army to do exactly what he told it to do. The success of American generals in France must depend, therefore, upon the kind of armies the training camps here at home turn out for them. Every man who goes to a cantonment should keep that truth in mind when he finds that the drder of his life is entirely different from what it was in his own house. What he is required to do in camp as a soldier has a different purpose from anything he did for his own pleasure or convenience as a civilian. What he does now in uniform he does as a part of a great and complex machine, the perfect working of which must depend upon the performance of every part. As a civilian your act, or your omission to perform an act, probably affected nobody but yourself as a rule, or at most a few persons only. As a soldier your act or your omission may affect thousands. You are not the judge of what its effect may be. You are to understand as a good soldier that there is a reason for every order given you, that its result' is calculated from the experience of highly trained officers and from the lessons of all military history and that it is not you, as an individual, whose personal convenience is con-; cerned in it but the welfare and working of an entire army, an entire military system." The submission of the individual will to authority that seemingly robs it of all personal in

itiative may be difficult for many young men and i

as a result they may be disposed to question its

wisdom. A little thought will convince them of its necessity. AH of them will agree after two weeks in the army that a squad of trained soldiers, knowing how to co-operate effectively, will be able to disperse a mob of unorganized men without much trouble. The lesson of obedience learned in the army camps at home will help whip the kaiser.

Tainted Money The complete ramifications of the $1,361,000 which passed from the German treasury through Ambassador von Bernstorff and Dr. Heinrich Albert, the German fiscal agent, to Dr. E. A. Rumely at the time he took over the New-York Mail, have not been unravelled by the federal agents. It is believed that other newspapers were subsidized by the German government to create

a pro-German sentiment in this country and that the New York exposure may lead the way to their discovery. The investigation so far indicates that the money derived from the sale of German war credits in America prior to our entrance into thewar was for the purpose of raising money for the nefarious work of the kaiser's

agents. Money which was given for the relief of German orphans and widows and for hospital work never reached its charitable destination, but was use"d in a dastardly manner by Bernstorff and his aides in blowing up American factories and dynamiting ships. The kaiser's effort to control public opinion in America through a subsidized press is an example of the monumental stupidity that marked his policy in America. The purchase of the Mail followed shortly after the destruction of the Lusitania and was a measure designed to counteract, the rising tide of opposition here to the methods of the Berlin gang. After investing $1,316,000 in the Maihthe kaiser has nothing to

show for his money, excepting the poor satisfaction that he failed in .thwarting the course of destiny and of retributive justice,-which slowly but surely and often in the face of tremendous obstacles, punishes crime and violation of the moral code.

"Just the Usual Thing" From the Saturday Evening Post. HOW many times I threw myself flat I don't know. Now I was furiously tearing myself free from the barbs; next I was down on the ground, dumbly praying to the Creator for protection, while In front, behind and all round the shells were lashing the earth. Twice the mud they threw covered me from head to foot. I'm not ashamed to admit that I prayed. What I am ashamed of is that I hadn't done such a thing before in fifteen years; and now, like a yellow dog, I turned to my Maker for help. But who doesn't? I don't care who the man is or what his belief may be; I don't care what his pluck or what his past, or how atheistic his leanings when all else fails him, in the agony of pain or fear of death, he will cry to a higher Power; he will make some sort of prayer to his God. I managed somehow to reach the other side of that barbed wire, and a little distance beyond was a lone strip of trench. I made a dive for that. As I did so I dimly perceived several French artillerymen standing in an orchard, frantically waving their arms at me to take cover. What did they suppose I had in mind? Well, the shelling died down in about an hour, while

I croucned in the trench, cooling off and contracting pneumonia. Then I went on and had to pretend fine indifference when the machine-gun guys wanted to know whether I had noticed any on the way over. "A few shells. Just the usual thing," I said carelessly with that mock modesty so dear to the Anglo-Saxon. Tonight I have only one hope left in life: It is to meet a little French half portion who sports a black mustache and talks something like a hen that has just laid an egg. He wore a flock of medals on his chest when I saw him this morning. If we ever meet if that guy and I ever hitch up well, I'll be wearing the medals.

Mark west, low down! Four words which convey to a man In a duck blind a vast amount of Information upon which to act. Ducks are coming toward the blind from the west and are flying low, ready for action. Billy Crosby, Rolla Heikes, Fred Gilbert and the writer, had been In attendance at a shooting tournament In Kansas City. Crosby invited the pnrty to stop and enjoy a duck hunt with him, an Invite which was immediately accepted. Starting from O'Fallon, 111., the home of Crosby, we arrived at Grafton, where the Illinois Joins the Mississippi rived. We headquartered at the Smiley club on Twelve Mile Island about two miles above the Deerplain club, one of the finest on the Illinois river. An Introduction from Crosby made us welcome guests, with all club privileges. Visit Expert Hunter. The shooting lodge is near Fowlers Lake, the home of George Bethel, a native son of the marshes and expert hunter, and all around woodsman. This lake Is the roosting and feeding grounds for migratory ducks and, geese. Celery, grass nuts, rice, sm weed and mast are the Inducements offered duckdom to stop and linger. Shore blinds located on points extending Into the lake are use. Heikes and Gilbert were located in a couple of blinds on the south side of the lake. Crosby and the writer were cn the west bank, where we could see to advantage the shooting of those boys on the pass flight. There never, was a better team of duck shots than Rolla and Fred. Their artistic work with the scatter gun,

attracted the attention of George Bethel, the shooting oracle of that section, and he came over to meet that pair of duck shooters. He knew Crosby personally and the balance of our party by reputation. After an introduction, he invited us to go with him in the morning to "line" some wild bees which he had located In the tim

ber above our camp. A new experience. When Bechtel called the following morning he was carrying an axe, rags for a smudge, two bright, clean wash boilers, mosquito netting to protect the head from the bees when the tree was cut. In a small wooden box fitted with a glass cover he had a piece of honeycomb, the cells of which were filled with heavy sugar syrup scented with a few drops of anise seed oil. The day was perfectly c.ear and there was no difficulty in seing the shine of the bees' wings. Wait for Bees. Arriving at a likely spot in the timber a small piece of beeswax was burned; it is claimed that bees will locate and are attracted by the odor a distance of five miles. While waiting, Betchel advised us that three kinds of bees were found in a hive. Work bees or incomplete females, who

care for. the young, work Inside the hive, maintain the heat, renewing the air and making the wax. Drones or male bees, who have no sting for defense and gather no honey. One Queen or Mother Bee. who lays all the eggs, averaging 3,000 per day for

several weeks. "Here comes a bee, says Betchel, who then dusted a little j flour on the visiting bees that they j might be recognized and timed upon j their return trip, thus approximately i estimating the distance the bee tree was away. With eyes directed heav-: enward he started on the bee course, finally locating them about one half ; mile away in an old elm, the bees . working about 30 feet up at a point ! where the tree forked. ! No bee hunter's mark was on the i tree, hence it was Betchel's find. He decided to cut the tree immediately,' that we might be in at the finish, i We adjusted the netting about our ' heads and pulled long stockings overj our hands. Bees grow very peevish j when the tree falls, immediately i looking for the cause of their troubles, j transacting business with the trans-! gressors. Bees curve their bodies J

and sting much more readily when j their stomachs are empty. Those I j came in contact with had all been ; fasting. The air was immediately filled with J bees, intent upon getting even with j their home wreckers. Betchel started j for the woods, calling to us as he I passed, "Run, you fools." We under-j stood and immediately acted upon his j suggestion. Crosby lead our party in j the marathon race; Heikes was a run-i ner up, with Gilbert a close third, j The writer was "carrying weight for j age" and proved to be an "also ran." j

My hee veil fluttered loose and I don't want any bee experts to ever tell me that a bee cannot sting but once, it is a mistake. With my war bride veil I attempted to protect my face. Oh, you neck! Over logs and brush I rushed, my tormentors were ever with me and growing more4 industrious every moment. My line of conversation proved

amusing to Gilbert, whose head was : safely wrapped and he stopped to give me the laugh. That was his undoing I and just retribution overtook him, when he ceased to move the bees at j once ascended his pants legs. He tore up his Union card and immediate-1 ly worked overtime. A garter snake j having a fit-were mild contortions' compared with Gilbert's We finally j returned to the tree collecting two j

tubs of wild honey for toll. Did you ever eat wild honey? Oh, you wild honey colic.

for the slick catalogue man. Don't let him try to persuade you to make purchases of him he laugh s up his sleeve every time you fall for one of his so-called "Bargains." It's about time that you were finding out that nobody is giving things away now days and the Richmond merchant is giving you as good a value for your money as can be found any place. When he sells you an article you may rely upon its being the very best for the money. Do you know that a large catalogue house in a large city in this country has been ordered by the Federal Trade Commission to desist from certain unfair methods of competition including false and misleading advertisements which they (the company) had admitted had been practiced. The sale of sugar at less than cost, conditioned on the purchase of other groceries on which a sufficient price was received to give a good profit on the combined sale. Again we say "Don't Be Bait" to the catalogue man.
