LEVS BE FAIR TO
THE Y. M. C. A.
I»n’t it tim* for us to Mop and ask
ouiwfveg whether wo are beinij quite
fair to the Y, M .C. A.? We arc a pco- I
pie fond of generalities; we do not deal
much tn fine distinctions. A year ago
we were *n eaying to each other; “The
Y. M. C. A. is doing wonderful work."
Today one hears everywhere criticism of
the association, frequently from people
who hear it themselves at second hand,
and are not in any position to have
weighed all the facts.
Dr. John R. Mott, with characteristic
frankness, asked the War Department to
make f an investigation of the criticisms
against the Y. M. C. A. as soon as they
hogan to be common in this country;
that investigation is now under way and
its results will be available In a reas
ooabk time. They will show doubtless
j* that both our first enthusiasm for the
Y. M. C. A. and our present proneness
to criticism have been considerably over*
done'-that the association jumped into
a difficult situation and has done a great
of work which, because its tools
W Anita human beings, has not been
frsft from imperfections.
Ona or two points are obvious e/en
in advance of. the investigation. The
Y M. C. A. is engaged In the store*
keeping business in France; engaged on-
L « swale involving $5,000,Qu0 of gales a
TWith. It was a business which the
J:Y** had no expectation t»t undertaking
IH went to France; a business thrust
,£2** by army, which knew its
difficulties. Now there is no store in
Boston, or anywhere else, no mutter aou
established and finely organised,
which does not receive every <iay its
quota of complaints Transfer that store
to a lorcign country; break it up into
several hundred parts, separated by miles
of shell-torn roads; Jet it deal in foreign
money, and In good that have to b<-
brought from this country and trans
ported miles by motor-trucks, and no
must sell at greatly enhanced prices
create this condition and Is it any wonder
that the complaints arc constant and
often bitter?
floods could not b<? Bold at any price
under such conditions without creating
dfssatlafactlon. Soldiors are proverbial
Srurnbiers, they inuwt have something
on which to expend the irritation pro
voked by lon< hours of idleness, or dull
routine; and the Y. M. C. A. cantcon
has, in this war, served the useful, if
unpleasant, function of giving them a
taiget for their complaints.
Another thing which the investigation
win almost certainly show is that the
whole difficulty In France has had Ita
roots in the question of personnel a
certain type of jovial, good-humored Y.
-vj. <!. A. secretaray could sell goods at
almost any price to boys; and the hoys

Arizona Joe. the animal hunter and
trainer, was telling an after-dinner
story:
“Old Bill had charge of the animal
tent, and among his pets was a leop
ard. the only one with the show. Ho
was a bad leopard, too, and gave Bill
far more trouble than all the rest of
the menagerie together. One day.
whan the show was in New Jersey, 1
went out to Chicago to arrange some
business. While I was having dinner
a telegram was handed me. It read:
“The leopard has es. apeci. Prowling
x about town. What shall I do? Bill.'
' “Bill was one of those fellows who
had to have explicit directions to do
anything, even In an emergency. He
w r as always afraid of making a mis
take. J rushed from the table and
sent a reply.
"‘Shoot hint on the spot' I wired
being unusually busy I forgot al)
about the affair until about two hours
later, when 1 returned to tlie hotel
another telegram was handed me It
proved io be from careful, ronw'rn
tioua Bill, and asked:
“•Which spot?’"
The dapper little man bustled into
the tailor's and asked to see some
regdy-pjade suits. He was given a
choice.
‘Til take that one." he said, "if vou'll
make any alterations I require." ’
“Certainly, sir!’’ beamed the tailor.
"All alterations free, sir!"
"Good! ' said the little man. “Just

Tn a certain reserve battalion in ire

“Lietttenant—the command is—For
ward!”
With his last breath an American
officer thus ordered his troops to con
tinue their offensive on a French bat
tlefield. His dying command exem
plified the spirit of American Army
training.
Discharged soldiers return to their
civilian duties with the same thought
uppermost in their minds. For them,
a# it was in military life, the command
always will be “Forwardl” No doubts,
no hesitations, no sudden waverinrs
will be tolerated by these aggressively
trained men, in their new encounters
in Mfe. It is a matter of record that
Americans never yielded a' foot of
ground they had gained during the
Great War, although in other*armies
the policy of withdrawing forces in the
face of attacking foes still prevailed,
when it seemed certain counter-at
tacks could reestablish the line. Com
■nanders of other nations’ armed
forces never quite understood this par
ticular species of esprit de corps, They
pointed out that it meant heavy losse*
—and it did, but it brought quicker,
Petter results. American offensive
methods tipped the balance and ended
the war. Tnere was no letting down
in the face of heavy odds, no with
drawal to prepared positions when su-
THE VALUE OF DISCIPLINE
So-called "hard things” in the busy
world of commerce, and professional
activity, ought to come easy to the
man vzho has been drilled in an Army
training camp. Military discipline,
which seemed so burdensome to many
men when they were in barracks, wist
now prove more than ever its real
worth to those who thrived under it,
but often chafed at wharf seemed over
attention to inconsequential details.
Punctuality—a cardinal virtue in
military regulations, will insure a man
getting to work promptly when he re
enters business. And punctuality is
often the stepping-stone to snccess. It
means being on hand when opportu
nity knocks—-opportunity proverbially
being given to the habit of fading
away if one is not there in time to
grasp it. Then there »re the seem
ingly unpleasant factors of business
existence, possible complaints from
superiors, demands for overtime work,
the necessity for rising early at times
to catch trains or to meet men, the
caprices of Fate which sometime leave
one with little money for meals and
lodging. Obviously the man schooled
in military discipline, who has listened
respectfully and with manly attitude
to complaints from superiors, who has
hiked uncomplainingly when he was
hungry, or slogged In French mud

The French and English languages are (
not competitors. They have different In- (
fluences, geographical and social zones. .
It is necessary only to develop and for- j
tify their power of expansion and pone- ,
trat ion. j
Kent, de Gourmant, being a little in »
advance of his lime says: “One can go
anywhere in Europe with French. and (
outside of Europe with English.” and this j
is not exactly correct, as the French lan- i
guage ■» certainly found more useful than i
any other language in all the South Am- <
er lean republics. As a pix>of of this -
statement, it may be said that the French i
language has been recognized in Chili as <
an official language. In the same re- 1
public, the medical students lined mostly ;
French texts, but they had to take their <
examinations in Spanish. From now on, i
the professors have the right to give 1
their courses in French. In th« great -
city of Rio de Janeiro, French is the
language of society and of all the cultured ;
people. Even in business, Portuguese can
be dispensed with if one knows French.
The propaganda made now for the study
of Spanish is another form of German
trickery in order ’<• ’wart the French,
vet they know better than anyone ‘hat
French is ‘ho recognized second language
in Cemral and South America.
But ,et us r>U’n to Europe The '

German states, especially Switzerland and 1
Holland, who have already such a sym- I <

In poor and brave Belgium, they will have ■
done more In favor of French as the uni
versal language than fifty years of pro- ‘
poganda auainst what has been called '
“Flamigantisme.”
Without being taxed to exaggeration, it

peri or foes broke through. We fought
—many died—but we conquered.
Soldiers remember the revision of
boxing regulations which the War De
partment Commission on Training
Camp Activities effected. The revision
did away with “stalling,” with the cov
ering-up and running-away tactics em
ployed by boxers in the old ring days.
Such tactics were clever admittedly,
but they did not accomplish what the
Array wanted. Therefore new rules,
which stressed the importance of of
fensive tactics, were made. The man
tn the ring who kept after his oppo
nent from start to finish was the pre
ferred fighter. It was a case of “Get
your man!” Those rules produced
many sizzling bouts in the early days
when our cantonments were nurseries
of heroes destined to perform epic
deeds in Europe. The same aggressivd
fighting, transferred to French soil,
demonstrated its worth. Offensive
smashing broke the bubble of Hinden
burg resistance in less than a year.
So, too, in civil careers, seeming ob
stacles fade before the ex-soldier, who
never lets up fighting the battle of
right. The ‘'‘impossible” constantly
becomes possible. Firm in his under
standing that his goal warrants the ef
fort, he will persistently strive. And,
striving, he will win.

ordered to do so, will face such bar

Accustomed to routine tasks, begin
ning with prompt response to Reveille
and ending with similar obedience at
Taps, the man who has been a soldier
will never be confounded by the
minor demands of civilian careering.
He has lived with a sense of responsi
bility of his duties, and this in the later
years will be an asset. Fire Depart
ments in many cities are employing
discharged soldiers as inspectors. The
fire chiefs feel such men are the nioat
competent to enforce the regulations
of their departments. They know the
man who has been a soldier in the
U. S. Army has grown to understand
true discipline and to govern himself
accordingly. He, therefore, will make
a good governor of others, a splendid
overseer of conditions in civilian life.
This discipline has a dollars-and
cents value. It is one of the intan
gible but demonstrable benefits of
Army life. Erect in carriage, dear of
eye, drilled to physical preparedness,
ready to comply with law and order,
the soldier goes to his new work. 4,1

WILHELM REGARDED AS
DANGEROUS BY PARENI
Lass than two years before William
11, the former German Emperor,
came to the throne of Germany, his
father, Frederick considered it dan
gerous to allow him to have any hand
in the foreign politics of the German
Empire. Frederick, in fact, had an
extremely low regard for his son's
mental equipment and ability, and it
la frankly set forth in a letter writfen
to Bismarck, September 28. 1886,
from Portofino. Italy, and which has
just been made public,
William s principal defects at that
time, as his father saw them, were
“his habit of making snap judgments
in a manner tending to exaggera
tion,” lack of “actual learning,”
which was "still full of gaps,” and
“a» inclination to conceit.” Here is
the text of the letter;
“My son, Prince Wilhelm, has
