TIE PRACTICES OF YESTERDAY DIBUARDED TO-DAY.
Aside from maihemiaticnl problems, there seems to be no se: rule.
Business, trades and fashions and even social ethics suffer innovations
that make the conservative realize that oonstructiveness and initiative
are tearing away cbstacles in the old worn trails.
Just as thu present method of warfare had begun to develop into a
system of rational comprchension, General Byng shows that a new wrinkle
may upset all calculations and throw a who'e army into disorder and con
fusion. The great gunfire tnat has been supposed to be necessary to dis
organize opposition and clear the way for the action of troops he has
shown may in some cases be very advantageously omitted.
It has been aseerted that the American troops could not become etici
clent until after months of training, and that our officers would not be lit
to lead them, because the old school of military instruction did not meet
present requirements. Something of this may be true, but it is evident
that new ideas are being developed so fast that the practices of yesterday
may he discarded to-day. The soldier who understands the tactics of
military drill and who is fearless and brave will do~good work under
proper leadership. The American readily adapts himself to new condi
tions, and trench lile sl:cuid not offer dhlficulties that will take him long
to master. When it comes to quickness of perception, initiative and the
invention of new methods of circumventing standard safeguards, our
generals may hiad a way, just as General Byng shattered the impregnable
lines of Von Hindenburg's army, and they may invent new ways of doing
things that will further alter the system of warfare.

served in New Netherland. Govern
)r Kieft proclaimed a publIc thanks
,iving to be held in February, 1iti4,
,n account of a victory over the In
lians; and again in 1645, because
,f the conclusion of peace.
Thanksgiving and fasts, sometimes
)artial and sometimes genera., were
tppointed in several colonies., and
;arly in the Revolutionary War. the
Continental Congress adopted the
>ractice. From 1775 until 1762 a
day of thanksgiving was appdinted
each year by the Continentai Con
;ress in the form of recommenda
ons to the executive heads of the
several stare governments, reciting
he occasion which prompted the ob
ervance. With only one exe ption
Congress suspended business on the
days appointed for thanksgiving
Washington issued a proclamation
for a general thanksgiv:ng uy the
Continental Army on Thursday, De
emjer 18, 1777, and again at v aley
:orge, May 7, 1778.
As pre-ident, Washington app olat
ed Thursday, November 26, 1681), a
lay for thanksgiving throughput the
Union, successive presidents were
moved to do likewise from time to
..me.
The "Book of Common Prayer,"
:evised in 1789 for the use of the
.'rotestant Episcopal Church in Am
ýrica, directed -the first Thursday of
November (unleos the civil authori
ies appoint another day) to be ob
served as a day of thanksgiving to
Lmighty God for the fru.ts of earth,
jtc.
In New England especially a day
if thanksgiving has been annually
.:elebrated for a century or more, and
made the occasion for family reun
ons. The custom gradually extend
,d to the other states, and for sev
sral years the president of the United
tates has issued a proclamation for
a day of thanksgiving throughout
he Union-usually the last Thurs
lay in November-and the state ex
?cutives have chohen the same day,
o that the custom is now general.
Thanksgiving Day is now a legal
aoliday.
Imagine the joy and deep thanks
living felt by our Puritan fathers in
Massachusetts Bay in 1631, when
travation seemed to be so near that
:o proclaim fast days was necessary.
r'hen in answer to their fervent pray
irs, the vessel laden with an abund
oce of food arrived. Sorrow was
urned into joy-anu with hearts full
f thankfulneos to their loving Fath
ýr, the day was changed from a fast
lay to one of Thanksgiving.
L Reniew of Interesting Events of
National Importance lluring
the Past Year.
The beg'nning of the year 1917
round the United States of America
t peace-loving nation. We had re
alected our President with the cry:
'He kept us out of war."
When all at once the call to arms
resounded throughout the land.
F Germany was using the osubmarine
So0 Intimidate all nations. Our Pres
dent's protest to the frightfulness of
such a campaign was nothing to Ger
mnany. She would sink neutral ships
and everything else in order to win
he war.
We were allowed to send one ship
a week beyond the mouth of the
4udosn river, providing we painted
hat sh'p with the colors Germany
lemanded. All the other American
hips must stay In port or be blown
p.
On the second of April, President
: ' son a speared before the members
f Congress, assembled in joint ses
en, aad read his war message. Part
tih message sa'd: "There I- one
hoire we cannot make, we are in
"sb of making. We will not
the path of submission and
the most sacred rights of our
'ation and our people to be Ignored
)r violaled. The wrongs against
vhich we now array our elves are
rommon awrongs. They cut to the
erv roots of human I fe."
W'ar was declared on the Cth'day
of April.
Immediately after the declaration
of war, the Government started in to
.no~bilize the Nation. National mob
lization means the organization of
p hhe whole country behind the firing
t lines. It means the production of
everything necessary-fuel and food
at the head of the list. Navies must
have fuel; the nation that will win
the great war will be the nation
which has flour In the barrel when
the enemy has eaten his last loaf.
The man with the plow must be
willing to show the country that he
is no less a patriot than the man
with the gun.
Volunteers soon filled the navy
with the amount of men called for.
However, the need of men to carry
on the industrial work of the nation
caused the War Department to put
into effect selectve conscription for
the army. All the men of the coun
try between the ages of 21 and 30
must register. The five hundred
thousand thus chosen would be the
first element of the new army which
would provide further forces, from
time to time, as our military need
required. Young men are better
ashle to endure the hardships of the
campaign; they more readily acquire
the training and skill necessary :n
the use of arms. Volunteers of all
ages still enlist in the army, but the
nation claims the right to distribute'
the burden in the fairest possible
way.
At present most of our regular
army is in France and the new vol
unteers and selectmen are dr Ills
away for dear life, being turned into
soldiers. Wrist watches seem to be
the hardest thing for the oau . o g
used to. Some of them turn their
backs every time they look at the
timepiece, and I read of on. who
says his watch feels like a wart.
An unusual event was the call for
all women from the age of 16 up.
to register on October 17th. This
was done so the Government could
know what service the women could
do if needed.
You all know about our L'berty
Loan.,, Red Cross drive, et^., so I
shall end by saying that the hisiro-i.
cal events of the past year resemble
the Crusades. For America is light
ing this wa: with the cry, "Onward,
Christian Soldiers."
The most important bu'ine'
taken up at the meeting was the
euestion of 'nstitutirg a Civic Com
mittee as part of the School League,
but as there was not a fall attend
ance of members presen t it was
thought best to try to get a large

It was a real surprise as the recipi

CERTAIN CURE FOR CROUP.

treatment of this disease. She says,

up these attacks immediately, and I
was never without it in the house.
I have taken it myself for coughs
and colds with good results."
SECRETARY McADOO GIVES VAL
UABLE INFORMATaON.
To the Officers and Enlisted Men and
Women of the Army and Navy of
the United States and their Rela
tives:
Teh secretary of the Treasury,
through the Bureau of War Risk In
surance, has been charged with the
administration of the War Insurance
Law enacted by the Congress as a
measure of justice to the men and
women who have been called to gave
their lives, if need -De, in the servica
of their country.
I wish to acquaint you with the
benefits and privileges which your
Government has placed at your dis
posal. - It is essential that you and
your famil'es at home should know
of your and their rights under tht
:aw in order that full advantage may
be taken of them.
To care for the wife and children
of the enlisted man during his ser
ivce, the War Insurance Law com
pels him to contribute up to one
half of his pay for their support.
The Government, on application, will
generously add to this an allowance
of from $5 to $50 a month, accord
ing to the size of the family. More
over, if the enlisted man will maze
some further provision himself for
a dependent parent, brother, sister,
or grandchild, they may be included
in the Government allowance .
If, as a result of Injuries ipcurred
or disease contracted in the line of
duty, an officer or enlisted man or an
Army or Navy nurse should be dis
abled, provision is made for compen
sation of from $30 to $100 a month
to him, and should he die, compen
sation of from $20 to $75 a month
will be paid to his wife, h's chij4 or
his widowed mother.
In order, however, fully to protect
each person and family, Congress has
made it possible for every soldier,
sailor, and nurse to obtain life and
total-disability insurance. This In
surance applies to injuries received
while he or she is in the service or
after he or she shall have left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers of
war makes the cost of life insurance
in private life insurance companies
prohibitive. It was, therefore, a
plain duty and obligation for the
Government to assume the risk of -in
suring hundreds of thousands of our
soldiers and sailors who are mak'ng
the supreme sacrifice. Under thin
law, every soldier and sailor and
nurse, commissioned ano enlisted.
and of any age, fas tae right, be
tween now and February 12, 1918,
to take out life and total-diasbility
insurance up to $10,000 at very low
cost, with the Government without
medical examination. This right is
purely optional. The Goldiers and
sailors are not compelled to take in
surance, but if they desire to ex
ercise the right, they must do so be
fore the 12th of February, 1918.
The cost ranges from 65 cents
