' la States which have not yet organ ised local legal committees the legal advisory boards and the local bar as sociations are offering their services tree to soldiers, sailors, and their de pendents. Legal advice for mon who are in the camps is to be obtained through the division or camp judge advocate.

CANTONMENT TYPES 1 "THAT’S HOW YOU CAN TBUb THKY’RE nUSH" c-ixuwciy "Yen can tell by their walk, I l ow cox ted by tk. ir tali, 1j J'ok can teli by their eyes of blue; I’ou ran tell by their Blarney They're from Killancy— By the May they smile al you." THUS runs an endearing ditty of the Latter Days, the purpose of which is in lyric fashion to give one tips on how one may pick out an Irishman. Wherever there’s a fight there's an Irishman. And since tho current affray embraces about all of the at-present known world, there are countless Sons of Erin, to use the language ot the street, ready with their sleeves rolled to the shoulder for an exchange ot punches. You can tell ’em even in the cantonment, whore there is a minimum of prganlred fighting except for secon'a on the Embalmed Raisins. The above quoted points ot distinction are visible, of course. And there are other signs by which the wearing ot green on hearts of olive drab may be detected. For a single thing, you ean pick them by their proximity to mules. Drop into any given stable. Listen closely. Observe the delightful roll and the Irish lilt In the speech ot yonder private. Climb aboard any can tonment-going wagon drawn by the Animals with Enlarged Ears. Hear the brogue that bristles from one or more members of the caravan. Perhaps it’s because tbo mule offers such fine flint for exercise of wit and humor that Irish lads eventually drift Into his company. An Irishman has a gift of lingual parry which is the only successful come-back to a mule's kick. He possesses adroit adaptability that makes the flying hoofs vain to an extreme. Pass from Mules to Rainy Days. Does your Irishman allow his spirits to be inundated by such a trifle as ralu, even though drill may go forward as usual? A chorus of "Noes." Does your Son of Erin allow mud to gum his gusto? A like chorus. i The Irishman fits into olive drab as though born to it. He is the exuberant warrior. Age does not wither nor custom stale his infinite variety. He effervesces above the leaden weight* of monotony and routine. For to him there ain’t no sich things. There is varietv and spice in everw thing. A Yarmouth pork butcher notified his customers that he had sold out by hanging in his window a pig s tail with a card ’’earing the words: 'This is the end of our pork this week.” ’ tian with the assistance ot the local , legal committee or such other legal . committee or such other legal advi sory machinery as it established ’ there • The American Rod Cross provides . financial aid and whatever other , forms ot assistance needed, including information and guidance respecting ' allotments, allowances, componnaUon, I and 1 naarance under the war-risk in surance art, and In respect to other > matters which make tor the welfare i I ot the men tn service and their faml- i Ilea. in’doing this work the Red Cross t necessarily encounters a large num t bor of eases requiring legal advice or ! the Institution ot legal proceedings. . To attend to these matters tho home ' service sections of the American Red i Cross are calling upon the lawyers as I organized in a legal committee of the . State council of defense, a legal ad- • vtsory board, or otherwise to furnish i the necessary assistance. Where the I State councils have organized legal - committees, the home service sections i are, wherever consistent with existing ■ arrangements, providing legal assist ance through these legal committees. As many of the matters bandied by I tho home service sections relate to »i- - lotmonte, allowances, compensation, i and insurance, and as these problems are the subject of frequent rulings and decisions by administrative au i thorittee in Washington, the Amorl i can Red Cross maintains an informa tion service by means ot whtoh decl- > sions and rulings made in Washing ton are promptly communicated to all i home service sections.

C. —The National Geo graphic Society issues the following war geography bulletin on Soisaone. "The strategic Importance of Soissons, a city of 14.000 inhabitants at the time of the outbreak of the world war, is due chiefly to the fact that it is a great rail road center. It is situated on the left bank of the Aisne, 25 miles east of Com- I plegne and 35 miles west of Rhelms. On • the Paris-Laon railroad it is 65 miles northeast of the capital, and 22 miles {southwest of Laon. I "Before the war, Solssons was an im- I portant center for the grain trade of northern France, and was especially noted I for its haricot beans. Its most flourish- • Ing industries were iron and copper foundries, boiler and agricultural imple- j tnont factories, straw hat and glass works. “Solssons is one of the oldest cities in | France. Before the advent of the Ro ’ mans, it was the chief city of the Sues - sioncs, who held 12 towns of Gallia Rel igion. Divitiacusb one of their most pow i erful kings, extended his sway even be : yond the sea. among the Britons. i "The city’s present status as a rail s road center is an inheritance of many {centuries, for in ancient times it was a • starting point of military roads to Rheims. I Chateau-Thierry. Meaux, Baris, Amiens ‘ and St. Quentin. It was Soissons that ■ Clovis, King of the Saltan Franks, de- I seated the Roman general. Syagrius. and Ut was here that he married the Chris tian princess Clotilda. Three years after i the marriage the king and three thous- ■ and Franks were baptized. "A short distance down the Aisne, on the opposite bank, are the ruins of the famous Abbey of St. Med&rd. where the Short was crowned by St. Boniface, the j papal legate. It was in this abbey, alco, I that the famous Abelard, of Abelard and Helolae memory, is said to have been imprisoned !n this vicinity, too, Thomas Becket, the fighting English prelate of Henry H's time, lived during his long sojourn in France. Louis the Debonair, one of the most unhappy of French Kings, made two enforced stays here as the captive of his undutiful sons. "No doubt, when the present war is over, Solssons will erect a second raonu- AVIATORS GIVEN SPECEAL COURSE IN SHOOTING With special instruction itmelved' in shooting at moving objects aft'the twenty aviation schools that are equipped with traps, American air men are-quite proficient to wage wart on the Hun filers when they take their place l in the air with the allied forces. Fifty per cent. oT those- who harvoj enlisted' in'the air service never-snot at clay targets or in the field, and 'therefore it was necessary for ths Government to give the recruits thd necessary Instruction. The success of the English and Canadian air ffghters, who lii many cases were expert day target shctß, caused General Squiere, head 1 of ttn United States Army A<r Serritre, to adopt trapshooting as a meane of fit ting the aviators for overseas work. Usually the course oT instruction IS 200 targets, 25 each week for eight weeks. This gives each student sight -days at Hte traps, and each thus th? receives individual on every shot.
