The men who make the rank and hie of the armies in Great Britain and
the United States are totally different from the men who make up the armies
in the nations of continental Europe. In this country and Britain, the world
knows men join voluntarily while in the countries of Europe all are com
pelled to serve. This is known to everyone hut the diflerence in the two
methods are such that they lead to a train of thought as to the results of the
two sy stems.
It is a matter of history that the Duke of Wellington declared that his
army in the Peninsular campaign was made u > of the scum of the earth. Kip
ling has told u> in verse that Tommy Ukins is thoroughly despised until “the
guns begin to shoot.” One may go further and declare that in the British
Islands a private soldier is a social outcast. Even a female domestic servant
who keeps company with a private soldier becomes suspected. Labouchere,
nephew of a lord but a true democrat, told often during his lifetime in the
columns of Truth how the officers of the British army regard the privates as
something akin to dogs. It is perfectly well known that a British officer will
not travel in the same compartment as a private. Indeed the private is to the
officer as a negro is to the southerners. And, worse still, snobbery goes so
far that there are officers in some British regiments that will not dine at the
same mess or recognize officers of regiments lhat are less socially elect.
In Belgium the business man. the professional man and the longshoreman
serve in the ranks a-* comrades. It is by no means exceptional to see officers
and privates in the French army sitting at the same table in public in l'aris.
A couple of officers are sitting at a little table outside of a cafe in Paris when
a couple of privates come along. The privates give the military salute and
sit, it may be. at the next table. That would be impossible in Britain, but in
the French army the private may belong to a more socially elevated family
than the officer. No doubt the same is true of Germany except that aristo
cratic rule is still to the fore in the land where the kaiser rules.
Major Marchand who was met by Lord Kitchener in the Soudan—which
meeting nearly brought about war between the two nations that are now
lighting side by side—was the son of a carpenter. Even in the days of the
Imperial Napoleon there was an inn-keeper who had a son who became mar
shal of France and whose descendant is now sitting on the throne of Sweden.
In the l nited States the sons of laborers may become generals but in
the British army the man who rises trom the ranks to a commission is lid the
life of a dog. Kipling also tell" us of the life ot the “ranker as the man who
»i>es from the rank" is called. It would be better for him had he never become
more than a color sergeant. I here was one man. only one, who was a private
and the son of poor people in British army and yet rose to the rank ol
general. This man was Sir Hector McDonald who is said to have won a great
war for Britain. But what happened? Hector McDonald was accused of a
crime and called home to stand trial. On the way be blew outdiis brains. If
General Hector McDonald had been the son of a lord he would probably be
alive today.
Today, however, when Britain needs a great army young men are coming
forward who are inspired by the highest feelings of patriotism whatever the
rights or wrongs of the war might be. They are men who instead of enlist
ing for a shilling a day are giving up good positions and risking their lives
to save their countries. In every sense almost they are better than poor
Tommy Atkins. But in one sense Tommy is their superior he can shoot
and maintain his place in the evolutions.
Some day Britain and the l nited States will recognize the advantage of
raising the rank and tile of their armies in the estimation of the people. They
will realize that in the rank and tile of the armies may be the germ of the
salvation of their flags. \ breath can make an officer but the rank and
tile when once destroyed can never be supplied. But, no doubt, from the pre
sent war will come a les^vn to Great Britain and the Liberal government
which is now in power will take that lesson to mean that it is not by snobbery
hut by worth that an army can he made efficient.
MUSIC WHILE
SHELLS BURST
! GERMAN BAND FLAYS DURING
BATTLE AGAINST THE
FRENCH.
—
BERLIN, Nov. 21.—A concert in the
firing line is thus described by band
master Adolf Becker with one of the
j German armies in France:
“After a long march we went into
| camp at G-and promised ourselves
a good night’s rest. At 2:30 we were
suddenly and rudely waked up; our
outposts had come into touch with
! strong French forces, and the whole
| camp became suddenly alive. A sharp
tight was soon in progress. The
French artillery was firing incessant
ly from a covered position. Their
.shells came with a sharp whizz, to ex
plode with a mighty crash. Their in
fantry also kept up a hot lire. 1 went
forward with my musicians in a cov
ered position and met Col. von R
who ordered me to contribute my part
to this infernal concert.
*i crawled forward therefore with
my men to the most advanced trench,
asked them to get their instruments
and we played to the great amusement
j of the troops the beautiful air: 1 heel
so Fine in the Evening.’ After some
time the moon came out from behind
a thick bank of clouds and lit up the
battle-field with its bursting shells,
and we gave it a welcome with the
melody: ‘Good Moon, You Move So
Quitely and the soldiers joined in with
spirit. Somwhat later the French at
tempted a forward movement, and we
' promptly received them with Dolly,
: You are the Light of my Eyes.’ The
French did not seem to trust this as
; surance, however, for they hastdy
withdrew, to the resounding laughter
of our men, who did splendid shooting.
In order to make it clear to the French
just whom they had in their front. 1
next struck up the fiery Radetzki
March; and just as the rising sun was
coloring the east biood-red I closed
the concert with the hopeful choral:
Fair Beams the morning-star.’ Many
of the soldiers, holding their rilles in
firing position, joined in lustily.”
Becker has recently received the
Iron Cross in recognition of his
bravery.

FRANK J. COTTER, Manager
Phone Adams 131 “Don’t forget the Parcel Post*’ Seward, Alaska
partmont estimates the yield at CO to
80 million hundred weight, which is
more than ten per cent below the yield
of 1913. France consumes 80 million
hundred weight, and, since 10 million
weight is required for seeding, the
shortage will be from 10 to 30 million
hundred weight. With the duty on
cereals suspended this shortage will
be easily made up.
The best root crop, which is very
important in the north of France,
furnishing the raw material for a
great many sugar refineries, has suf
fered from German occupation. The
refineries may be unable to work for
some time. In consequences there has 1
been an advance of 3 cents per pound
in the price of sugar and the public
has been warned that a further ad
vance is possible.
Next to the beet crop, the most im
portant product in the region of the
military operations is champagne. All
of the Champagne povince was tem
porarily in the hands of Hie Germans
and the heavy fighting of the battle
of the Marne extended over the entire
length of the wine growing country.
The damage to the crop seems to be
less than was expected. Around Es
pernay in particular the vines seem
to have been intentionally spared by
the Germans as well as the French,
but in other regions tfie terrible artil
lery fire that raged for days worked
great havoc among the vineyards.
Some reports indicate that around
Rheims the crop is entirely lost, while
further south it has suffered compar
atively little.
BUILDING HOUSE FOR
THE BRITISH SOLDIERS.
London, Nov. 21.—Carpenters are
working day and night at the army
encampments to provide winter quart
ers for the recruits of Lord Kitchen
er’s new force.
The new huts are not warm struct
ures, being either of wooden or cor
rugated iron wails, with iron roofs.
But their completion before winter is
considered highly important to the
health of the men, who are now shel
tered in tents.
About 600,000 men are encamped
on the Salisbury plains in the south
ern part of England. They are being
housed at the rate of 6,000 a day. I oi
table huts are to be sent to the expedi
tionary force as soon as a fixed base
is established.
