The Manner In Which the Sock and
Shoe Problem Wai Solved by Our
Military Men Has Given Uncle Sam
the Beat Shod Soldier! In the World.
The cure of soldiers' feet Is one of
the Important tilings In war. A soldier
Is no better than Ills feet. Many things
enter Into the snui total of military ef
ficiency, hut two of the great (actors
making for efficiency in troops are
marksmanship and marching power
Infantry thut cannot march would tie
ns unfit us Infantry that could not
shoot. It muy he because ot the lm
portunce of the feet In Infantry that
the men of that branch ot the service
are called "foot troops." Infantry
without good feet would he more use
less than cavalry without mounts, ar
tillery without cannon or u Hying corps
without an aeroplane.
Napoleon has been credited with Buy
Ing that an arini' marches upon Its
stomach, which, of course. Is true us
far ns it goes. Soldiers to hrtug or
maintain their efficiency at the highest
point rnuBt be adequately fed. und a
world of endeavor has been put forth
by brainy men to Insure the proper
supply of food, to put into the ration
the constituents needed by the human
system and to have the food well cook
ed. But It Is Just us true, figuratively
as well as literally, that an urmy
marches on its feet
When u recruit or a prosiiectlve re
cruit comeB up tor bis physical exam
ination the exnmlniug surgeon gives
just about us much attention to the
applicant's feet ns tu his lungs, heart
kidneys, teeth, vision und hearing. He
will not pass a man with fiat feet, be
cause thut man could nut march. He
will Insist on a certain amount of urcb
to the foot Too high an arch, which,
bowerer, is rare in men. would result
In his rejection. Any defect In the feet
which would militnte against Ills en
durance on the march would be a cause
for rejection of the man.
With the recognition of the impor
tance of the soldier's foot came long
and earnest study and experimentation
with the soldier's sock und his shoe.
The sock question was soon satisfac
torily adjusted. The necessity of fre
quent bathing of the feet, especially on
the mnrch. was early determined on.
and woolen socks, light or heavy, ac
cording to the season, were decided on
for marching men. Fresh and clean
socks are insisted on. and a sock with
u bole iu It or a sock that has been
darned Is not to be worn At least tbai
Is the Idea as developed In the Ameri
can military service In the matter ot
the fit of a soldier's socks It Is pre
scribed in regulations that "the socks
will be large enough to permit free
movement of the toes, but not so loose
as to permit of wrinkling."
When ll came down lo the study ot
the shoe the military men bad a seri
ous problem which it Is believed In
this country lo have been correctly
solved and with the result that the
men of the American army, are the
best shod troops In the world. The
cost of the United States army shoe,
garrison or marching, is In round fig
ures $3, and so popular is It with the
men of the army that they rarely buy
a pair of private shoes for use when
absent from post on pass or oo fur
lough The quartermnsler shoe of the
present day Is considered an excellent
specimen of the shoemaker's art and
la vastly different in fit and finish from
the army shoe of a generation ago
In those states where these shoes
tire issued by the national government
to the organized militia It Is one of the
perplexities of the nutlonal guard of
ficers lo keep their men from wearing
the shoes In civil life
Before the foot and shoe fit question
came undfer the study of men concern
ed with the efficiency of troops there
was always a grent deal of foot sore
ness among the soldiers on the march
This trouble was always severe and
annoying among new troops and
among old troops with new shoes
The old Idea was lo equip a soldlet
with a pair of shoes that would weal
long. The stoutness and durability ot
the shoe was the main consideration.
There was very little consideration fot
the foot that went lDBlde the shoe. If
the shoe was large enough and not
very much too large for the man the
matter was thought to be settled. Foot
trouble among regular troops on the
march has been greatly reduced, hut
or course has not been eliminated.
Probably that Ideal never will be at
tained.
A soldier's marching efficiency de
pends not alone on the size or wbat Is
commonly called the "fit" of the shoe,
but on tbe shape. It has been said
that Dr. Herman Meyer was the first
to formulate the theory that tbe great
toe must lie In such a position that
Its axis wheD carried backward aball
pass through the center of the heel.
The foot 1b a lever of the second class;
the fulcrum Is at the ball and great toe
and power at the heel, which is trans-
DIRECTING A BATTLE.
How ths General Staff Keep* In Touch
With the Firing Line.
In wartime the many threads lead
lug from the long buttle line at length
reach a eoiatnon point, which Is the
headquarters of the general stuff. The
activity of each officer atuelied to the
general stall Is therefore of the great
est Importance for the success of ev
ery military enterprise.
During the action every officer of the
staff Is at the Immediate disposal ot
the commanding general and assists
him in the carrying out ot orders.
Among the duties ot the staff officer
during action belong the gathering and
compilation of reports which lire con
stantly pouring In to headquarters and
which give Intimation of the progress
or the buttle. The staff officer must
observe tbe needs of the troops lu uc-
tlon. He must keep a close watch on
tbeir supply of ammunition tie must
see that their commanders properly ex
ecute the orders of the coumnuidlug
general. He must look after the wound
ed, see Unit they lire properly treated
and sent to lazarets. He must see to
It that prisoners nre properly eared for
and thut the commissariat Is adequate
ly provided for and the provisioning
of the troops.
Sometimes the commanding general
Intrusts n staff officer with the observa
tion of the action of tbe opposing
forces which may be beyond tlie view
of headquarters, or lie may be sent to
tbe tiring line with Imisirtaut orders
to commanders there, which, however,
tbe staff officer has authority to niter
If In his Judgment this Is necessary.
During defense movements It Is of
particular luqiortauce to observe close
ly the movements of tbe opposing
forces In order to make preparation for
counted moves, such us advances, re-
treats. the sending of re-enforcements
and other movements of troops The
execution of these movements fnlla
within the province of the staff officer.
Tbe training of tbe staff officer is
very thorough. A complete practical
course lu military science, extending
over tunny years' of active service with
various bodies of troops. Is augmented
by years of study ut tbe war college,
which embraces the last word In the
theoretical science of modern warfare

BEARD OF THE TURK.
It la Sacred, For by It He Pledgee Hit
Word and Honor.
Some years ago tbe German Colonel
von Sebllcbting. instructor to the Otto
njnu army, was shot dead on parade at
Yildlz kiosk by a young Albanian sol
dier, Hadji Balaam, because tbe Ger
man In correcting the fnulty pose of
the soldier’s head touched his chin
with his riding whip.
Unfortunately the colonel did not
know or did not remember thnt to
touch a Mussulman's chin Is a grave
offense from a religious viewpoint It
is by the beard of tbe prophet or his
own heard that he swears allegiance
and makes his vows and promises. Ac
cording to a Turkish general, an Al-
banian would kill his own father If he
laid hands upon Ills sou's bead in so
disrespectful a manner. A Mohamme
dan military service Is simply a re
ligious duty, and it implies a volun
tary submission to discipline. But
Turkish officers know her t thun to
touch their men rudely or even to
shout nt them.
Of course It was a very regretnble
misunderstanding, and tbe sultan sent
u telegram to the kaiser to express his
sorrow.and an Imperial Ottoman prince
and three Turkish ministers followed
the victim's hearse to the cemetery.
But In the Interests of discipline the
murderer had to die despite an appeal
for a reprieve from the colonel’s
widow.
The Albanian was shot by ten men
of his own battalion, and when he was
asked before the execution If Ue re
pented of the deed he replied twice in
a firm voice, "Nol"—Washington Star.
Memorial by Ebenezer Baptist
Church,
God has seen fit to take from our
midst our beloved brother, W. It. Orr,
jr. We cannot rebel against God, and
we know, through faith in His good
ness, that He doeth all things well, We
cannot see now why he was taken from
us so unexpectedly. God’s infinity
keeps us from understanding how and
why He dealt with us apparently so un
kindly; but He “moves in a mysterious
way His wonders to perform." We
pause in our grief to offer this tribute
of love and praise to our dear brother.
He was a faithful member of our
church, loved his pastor, and was al
ways ready to do his part in any under
taking to advance the cause of Christ.
That death loves a shining mark was
never more forcibly demonstrated than
in the case of our deceased brother.
None of us know what a vacancy there
is left in his home, or how he will be
missed by hiB loved ones. His last few
years were years of great Buffering,
but he bore his afflictions with a degree
of fortitude not found in the hearts of
those without Christ. It may be truly
said that earth is poorer and heaven
richer with the passing away of our
brother. Bereaved ones, look up and
think of him there, for the great Crea
tor is looking down on you in grief
from the glorious heights of heaven.
What a blessed thought that these sep
arations are not final, and that with
crownB on our heads and harps in our
hands we shall meet again and sing to
gether on that golden shore, where
there will be no sicknesB, nor Borrow,
nor death.
‘’Asleep In Jesus, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to weep."
Bro. Orr wss born Aug. 6, 1870, and
died April 19, 1915. At an early age he
united with the First Baptist church at
Newnan, and later moved his membei-
ship to Ebenezer church. Be it re
solved—
1. That our hearts go out in sympa
thy to the grief-stricken family and
relatives, and pray that God may com
fort them.
2. That we bow in humble submission
to our all-wise Father, who doeth all
things well.
3. That these resolutions be placed
upon our church record, and a copy of
same furnished his family.

TOP DRESSER
FERTILIZER
Can you do full work on half rations, Mr. Farmer?
Well, how can you expect a full crop from a starved or half
fed plant? Don’t expect something for nothing. Make up for the
meager plant food under your crops by a liberal application of
Swift’s Top Dresser Fertilizer. If you use no fertilizer at all under
your crop, the more urgent the need of Top Dresser.
Do not “save at the bung to lose at the spigot.”
Your best interests demand proper fertilization of your crops.
Especially at the fruiting period must the plant be properly fed.
Swift’s Top Dresser means Fruit, an abundant harvest.
Well balanced, high in quick acting Ammonia, as is proper, with
sufficient Phosphoric Acid and Potash to supply the varied needs
of the plant as necessary, the Swift Top Dressers give far great
er net results than the use of Ammonia alone in Nitrate of Soda.
Use Swift’s Top Dressers and be prosperous.
