An Odd Way of Enforcing Discipline Employed By British General. They are laughing in the British trenches in France and in the London clubs over a story of how an English General taught discipline painlessly to! one of the millions of new soldiers' England has made. > The name of the General varies in the telling. Some say he is Field' Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. Others say the Irish General Gough only could have done it. Whoever he may be, he cannot let the day 'pass without taking his ride a-horseback. Though British soldiers, and though his uniform shows his rank, he passed one day while on his daily canter a private soldier wal in the opposite direc- tion. The soldier did not salute.

"Well, my man, I want you to un- derstand this--a British soldier who does not salute a British officer is eith- era spay or a fool. . You, apparently, are just a plain fool." Thereupon, turning on his heel, the General jumped into the saddle and reined in for a moment and turned in his saddle, grinning down upon the soldier who stood at attention, "half . dressed, his belongings about. / , "All right, you can dress now!" said | the General, and this time he gal- loped off. 5 The story spread and there are few- er complaints now of inattention to the rules of the service in the British army. -- sen CROWNED AT DAYBREAK.
