Why are well drilled troops the best troops? How is the soldier of the future to be trained? What was the fatal defect of training as it revealed itself in the world war?

HOSPITAL ROMANCE ENDS IN MARRIAGE Society has just received word of the latest case in the epidemic of rich men marrying poor girls. Wealthy Van Duzer Burton. ex- son-in-law of Sir Ashley Sparks, managing director of the Cunard fleet, has secretly married his nurse, Miss Charlotte R. Rhodes. The romance began when Burton was a patient in Union Memorial Hos- pital, Baltimore, under the care of the young nurse. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE THE IDEAL SOLDIER Probaby the strongest motive the soldier can have is hatred, which oper- 'ates best when he can see his enemy trying to kill him, but this rage is prone to evaporate under long range small- arms fire or shelling. As a matter of fact it was extremely diflicult to get soldiers in the last war tuned to the pitch of ferocity headquarters thought desirable. The soldiers laughed at pro- Mr. Conway then proceeds to exam- ine the motives which give soldiers the morale that ensures victory. Patriot- ism, he says, may cause a man to en- list and may induce him to endure and resist defeatist propaganda. but it will not cause him to rush at his cnemy forgetting that by so doing ‘he is risking his life. Esprit dc corps will have some effect upon him when he is under fire, but only if he knows that he if”. observed by his comrades, and that if he distinguishes himself his con- duct will be noted. But in modern conditions the soldier is frequently under fire when he does not know where the rest of his unit is. So it is that ambition and the hope of glory are not the spurs they once were, since ,the soldier is aware that the chance ‘that anyone will note his heroism is no greater than the chance that he will be unobserved. Probably twica‘ as many men won the V. C. in the late war as has witnesses to their heroism who could make a report to headquar- ters. However, Mr. Conway says that after a man has been decorated he is generally a better soldier, for he acts in the principle that he must set an example. Infantry”: Days Over. What?
