At this stage. of the “Jar. no one can deny that the British have borne a heavy weight in the war, not only the little army of 100,000 that saved the world at Mons but the big British army now standing between the world and the Huns of Attila. The most necessary thing to win the . ywar is discipline, says W. \Applins, D.S.0., of the British army. ation that discipline is the first and last . word of modern war. Look at Russia. Comparatively unprepared in 1914, she was able to defy Germany and enter East Prussia, thus giving us valuable time to prepare. iYet the moment she lost her discipline she 'was unable to prevent an inferior force from running the country. Italy is another example of the vital importance of discipline. \ If we have learned anything in this war it is that discipline and efficiency are the same thing. If Germany had not had iron discipline we should long ago have been in Berlin, and the/reasâ€" on we are now able to drive back the Germans‘and [capture ground, guns, and prisoners at any time, anywhere on the western front, whereas Ger- many has not gained a yard of ground or won one military success in a year, is the fact that our system of discipâ€" line is better than theirs. ‘ / The Anglo-Saxon Discipline. over- Compulsion is purely German, whereas the discipline of the Britishâ€" or rather of the Anglo-Saxonâ€"â€"â€"is that of free will. It is absolutely volun- tary. I can only liken. it to the discip~ line of the football field,.where every man submits himself willingly to hard discipline to wiii the match, and plays not for himself \but for the team, obeying instru‘ctions, whether he agrees that they are right or not. Fighting men must submit them-. selves in the same way to Spartan training to meet the conditions of modern wan-conditions far more seâ€" Lieut.-Coloncl . It hard-1y requires any explain. 4. Stories of Nursing Sisters. 1 “I will tell you of a nurse I knew; in our clearing station in Ypres. \Vel will just call her Miss Blank, but thci story is true, for says a major who has from Belgium. , “Miss Blank was quite a commander in her ward, and she was very strict [and sharp with any of us who dared just returned ftO venture in bud talk with her patiâ€" ents. The wounded soldiers all ador-i ed her and she worked hard for them} {every moment, but she was rather a scold to the rest of us. She had line young patient who had a wound in IiIS‘ lung and she would not allow anyone to talk to him nor let them ask him any questions and make him talk. _ ‘ “One day King George and the 3 Prince of Wales came to visit the hos- pital, and while the king was talking" with some officers the Prince wander» ed about it, and as luck would have it he went into that ward and walked over and talked with the young wounded soldieT. “Nurse Blank was at the other end of the ward, but suddenly she heard a cough from her wounded boy. Like a torpedo destroyer she pounced upon ithe Prince and, seizing him by the shoulder, she put him out of the ward. “, ‘What do you mean by coming in hefe and talking to my patient withâ€" out my permission?’ she scolded. ‘I am iincharge here.’ He tried to murâ€" mur an apology, but the indignant nurse had no time to listen to him and ruihed back to take care of her pati- en . “The Prince of Wales looked bewild- ered for a moment and then he joinâ€" ed the King, and when he explained Lhow he had been pushed from the ward they both had a good laugh over it ,and the King said._ ‘She was right; ‘she was doing her duty, and she is in 3 command there.’ ' l “‘Duty!’ That is the watchword :with the young soldier in the ranks. l “I remember one day, when the fir- ing hadbeen very heavy, a young I saw it myselifi”, :with them all, just as it is ‘duty first" The Red Cross nurse went over to him 'at once and pettcd him and took his He kissed her hand and said joyously. ‘Oh, mother, I need you so much. I knew that you .would come. I am so glad that you lhave come, mother.‘ And then he ‘Went to his last sleep holding her hand. There was a smile upon his lips, for in his dream world he was with his mother. The nurse who had lplayed the part of mother left the ward with tears streaming down her cheeks, and that. night, after hours, she sat up and wrote to the mother, hand in hers. rfar across the sea, and told her how rbravely her boy had given up his life 5‘ â€"his first thought of his duty and his l last thought of his mother. “The nurses are constantly called ‘Vupon to fill the role of mother or sisâ€" ter or of wife ‘or sweetheart, and they ‘are called ‘nursing sisters,‘ for they are 11 'e good sisters, and are very much gloved by their patients. Some- times t e nurses are happy when they { can restore a soldier to his family, and .sometimes a family is restored to a !soldier, as was the case told by a nurse [of the volunteer aid detachment. ' “This nurse was very much Worried , about a wounded young Belgian whom ’she was nursing. His wounds were lmending, but he did not seem to care ,to get well. He was sure that his iwife and five little ones had been kill- ed in their home at Liege. He had 3 seen such horrible sights that he could inot get them out ‘of his mind. He f could not speak French and it was dif- ficult for his nurse to understand him. ‘But she knew that e loved children and so she moved 15 bed close to the lwindow, where he might see the chil- I ,dl‘ell as they passed by on their way to school.

What the Salute Means. An American asked pie the ‘other day why a British officer drew himself up so stilfly and looked his brother of- ficer full in the face when he saluted. I asked him if he understood what the military salute was. He said he guessed it was a sort of homage. explained that he was entirely mistak- en. The military salute is a kind of Masonic sign between soldier and sol- dier and it originated in the Ages, when only the highest classes of society were permitted to bear arms. rode out with the visors of their hel- mets down, cOveriiig the face. When two knights met it was the custom for the new or strange knight to raise his ‘ visor and show his face, the other then . doing likewise. If you perform this motion you will find that it is same as that of the modern military salute. That is why, in our army, a man never salutes unless he has his cap on. It corresponds to the visor Whether it be‘ the fighting man in, the I . ': fresh forces came up to the relief of, Middle . When knights wore armor they f the tightly about a live Mills bomb.

He was only 20â€"a mere slip of a ladâ€"but suddenly he became a little boy again and he called out. “Oh, mother; dear mother, come here!’ i to pull the trigger or he would have, fire it,’ he cried excitedly, ‘but I don’t, iback upoh his pillow. The nurse i looked out into the narrow street, and .there she saw a group of Belgian re- fugees, all buddled together like a ;floek of frightened sheep. ,One poor woman had four little children cling- ing to her skirts, while in her arms 'she carried a wee mite wrapped in a i ragged shawl. “The nurse seemed to, understand at once, and without any thought of" ‘ order or hospital rules she rushed out into the crowded street and, seizing the started woman ‘by the arm, she .dragged her and her brood into the lward. When the woman saw the sol- dier she gave a loud cry and ran to this bedside. He said not a word, but I opened his arms, and she-fell, sobbing, ‘across the bed. Then such a look of ‘happiness and peace came over his face, for he had found his family. “That is what the Red Cross is dor ing toâ€"dayâ€"serving humanity!" 3M l _.. lbody of survivor’s instantly followed L I Ihim to apparent death. * When Discipline Saved the Army. ‘ Through a few yards of bullets they , ,ran, falling into a drain which. the; .youth’s sharp eyes had discovered.

A large proportion of Canada's re- serves of coal is unsuitable for use in the ordinary way as locomotive fuel. The coals of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and portions of Alberta are lignite or sub-bituminous, high in moisture. and owing to excessive “sparking,” can- not be used as locomotive fuel be- cause of their liability to set fires.

When the man} \vho had saved the army was ,called‘ for he proved to be a drummer boy,l :and he afterward received the Victoria - Cross from the hands of the King. The lesson of this incident is not_ the valor of the drummer boy, but the magnificent discipline of the men. which enabled them instantly to obey, the order without hesitation or ques-i tion. although they knew it might. mean death.

This class of‘vfuel 'has already been used with economic success in a few plants.
