Compulsion intelligently applied in a good cause is a blessing. For example, a youth of 19, with a normal desire to perform his duties as a citizen, finds the incentive toward service in the regular military establishment or in the militia somewhat weaker than the incentive to take his ease, avoiding all discipline. The country's need that he shall know how to defend it is not brought to his attention. If, however, there were a law requiring his service with the colors for a given time at a particular period of his life, he would perform the service...
...Owing to the suspension of intercollegiate contests it is the plan of the Athletic Association to promote and encourage intercollegiate sports so far as possible without interfering with military preparation.

But the regular army man, no matter how limited his practice may have been in that kind of work, is in the way to master it quickly. With the reserve officers the task will be harder, but they will...
...main part of the address was devoted to an explanation of the regulations in the Quartermaster's Corps. It was stated that a man in the supply department has an equal opportunity for promotion, with any other man in the regular army, and if he has been capable his experience in army management will always prove of the utmost value. A differentiation was made between the two branches of the service. One of these has charge of all the base work such as the collection and organization of supplies. The other group is concerned with the work of taking supplies...
