Dinner Stories A young American who was hi- cycllng in southern France was pushing his machine up a steep hill. when he. overtook a peasant with a donkey cart who was making little progress. although the donkey was doing his best. The benevolent cyclist. putting his left hand against the back of the cart and guiding his machine with the other. pushed so hard that the donkey. taking fresh courage. pulled his load up to the top successfully. The summit reached, the peasant burst into thanks to his benefac- tor. "It was very good of you. indeed. monslcur." he protested. “I should never have got up the hill with only one donke . - s Quite new to the business of play- ing Lady Bountiful. young Mrs. Spender was taking the place of the regular district church visitor. who was away on her summer holiday.

"What is my iirst pleasant task. dear Mrs. angpell?" the young woman asked. winningly. "Well. ma‘arn." came the reply, "fust. you axes after my rheuma- tiz." “Yes?" queried the visitor. “Then you reads me a. few linba of poetry." Again came the query.

She must answer the\ Carmichael girl. And she couldn't turn her back to Helen Hunley. the outcast now. What right had those people to pun- ish Helen? She made her answer firmly: “I haven't received her re ts." Katherine stared. The Carmich- ael girl returned Lilah‘s smile with studied sweetness. "Oh, I Just wondercd." Lilah imagined herself ill. She longed for Michacl. If only he were here. Why had she come anyway? The Carmichael girl moved. leav- ing Lilah with Katherine. who re- garded her with a strange intensi- ty. “I won't have persons tt'lling me who to invite and who not to in- vite." Lilah said. ,nervously. “l'm afraid you've. spoiled your dinner party. Lilah." ion murmured. _ “I don't care!" But she did. Ter— rlbly so. "I must phone Michael and see how he is feeling." She went to the instrument expectantly. She would ask him to drive over and get her. But she wouldn‘t. she decid- ed. ask him right out to forgive her. No. she would just make him feel that'shc was sorry. , The operator appeared to he hav- ing trouble in getting the number. "Ring again. operator. there‘s surc- ly some one there." Another wait. Then a voice-—-Saily's voice. -"l\ir. Michael isn't here. He went out half an hour ago. Why. I thought he was with you." She turned away from the phone sick at heart. Where had he gone? What would he do? He was angry What would he do for spite? v Bertha came up to her when she reentered the Beall library. “That snippy Carmichael girl says you're going to have Helen Hunley at your dinner. You're making a big mis- take. Lilah. Recall the invitation. Helen will understand. You have her izonipan- Marriage (By mount.) the right spirit. but people will pun- ish you for it." Lilah was demonized. She was thinking of Michael. “Oh. I don't care what she thinks." She stamped: her foot. “I won't have such peo- ple dictating to me. Who is she anyway?" Bertha Beull shrugged. "It's your own dinner. not mine. I just tried to tell you how everybody feels. As for myself——." A wild thought entered Lilah's head. Rather than give in to them. she would recall all of the invita- tions. No, she couldn't do that. If only Michael were here! She want- ed to go home. Where was he? At the office? She went to the telephone again. Five minutes of uncertainty. Then a woman's voice. Louise Wentzel. “No. Mr. Menlow isn't here. lie never comes down on an ewnlng." l’ier surprise was apparent in her voice. Lilah put down the phone.

The Regular Army has no more important mission than the training of the civilian soldiers of our new citizen army. The summer camps would be almost as futile without Regular Army officers and enlisted men as our schools would be without teachers and administrators. The National Defense act of 1920 divided the Army of the. United States. which it created, into three components—the Regular Army, Na- tional Guard and Organized Re- serves. Under our new defense plan the Regular Army is to expand in the event of a‘ national emergency into at least nine infantry divisions for the purpose of checking the ene- my with the least possible delay. The National Guard is, to muster eighteen divisions for the purpose of re-enforcing the Regular Army and making certain that the enemy is held at his starting point. The Or- ganized Reserves are to expand dur— ing hostilities from a mere skeleton into twenty-seven infantry divisions and more if need be. for the purpose of bringing.our defense forces to such strength that the enemy will seek again the peace be disturbed. However. the Regular Army must not. confine its efforts during peace to perfecting itself alone. Our whole defense system would collapse in make certain that both the National Guard and the Organized Reserves will also be able to fulfill their de- fense missions in an emergency. Cl- vllians of the high stander demand- ed by our plans. are too busy to spare much time from their private business. in most‘instnnces they do not acquire sufficient. technical mili- tary knowledge from their daily oc- cupations to undertake the forma- tion and perfection of thler own mil- itary organizations and training without assistance and guidance. The peace-time responsibility of the Regular Army. under the National Defense act of 1920. is greater than it ever has been in our history. No similar standing army has peace- time responsibility that ia even com- parable with that of. our Regular Army at present. ‘ Approximately (.800 officers and 65.000 enlisted men of the Regular Army will actually be engaged this summer in the training of the Na- tional Guard. the Organized He. serves. the Reserve Otiicers' Training Corps and the Citiesns‘ Military Training Camps. Every summer camp will have its quota. This means that the Regu- lar Army will be spread out in athln Myer over the United States from the first of June until the first of Oc- tober. as there will be camps in every State. except Mississippi. Teu- great distances to reach the organ- izations they are to train. For ex— amplo. a battalion of infantry march- ed mor- titan 260 miles from Fort. Snelling. Minnesota. to Des Molnes. Iowa. Engineer companies have been sum. from Fort Humphriee. in Virginia. on the Potomac to Camp Knox in Kentucky and to Camp Cue. ter in Michigan. Anti-aircraft. de- tnchments have been sent from the I’rosidlo of San Francisco. on the Pacific mast and from Fortress Mon- roe on the Atlantic coast. to Fort Sill, nklahm as. which is situated almost in the renter of our.country. Thole instanrvs are cited merely to illus- trate both the magnitude of the Regular Army's summer training Job. and the. Regular Army's attempt to perform its civilian training mission satisfactorily to all concerned. liluch more of the Regular Army's time. is devoted to the National Huard. Organized Reserves. Reserve I‘l‘ftcers' Training Corps and the Citl. :zeus‘ Military Training Camps than even this would indicate. Training programs and schedules for courses of instruction have to be prepared- during other than the summer months of the year. More nearly one-half than onevthird of the War Department's time is devoted to oth- er activities and interests than those perialnil’ig to the Regular Army alone. . As a matter of fact so much effort .lius been put forth by some organi- nations that their own efficiency-has :=tlff(“i't‘d temporarily. The 108s of the. tour summer months is a. serious handicap to the Regular Army. This means that its units in the United States must accomplish in eight months more than it was necessary to lvarn in twelve months before the World War. The fall. winter and spring are unfavorable for extensive outdoor training. Of course. the Regular Army has been handicapped in other ways. The. barracks in which many of the regiments are stdtioned are a war: time construction and are falling to pieces. to fatigue duty in keeping up repairs, instead of drill. No doubt. in time. money will be appropriated for eut- tlcient and more livable barracks. Successive reductions in strength for the past four or five years have low. ered most organizations to less than half their normal size. while the work to'be done has mounted each year. The Regular Army. as ' its needs become known. will be in- creased at least to the minimum strength for its proper. function. The nxcessive work now required of the Regular Army is a temporary con- dition. Every effort is being made by the War Department to remedy our ex- isting situation. Under a new train- ing schedule. regiments will "alter- nate in training civilians. This will give each organization one year out of two to devote to its own training. Regular‘ Army posts are being sub- stituted for our war-time canton- ments for civilian training. which. will mean less disturbance and less moving for the Regular Army. The immediate result will be increased efficiency and better instruction for the civilian soldiers. Pupils 'are never much better than their teach- ers. On the other hand the training of the civilian components is proving helpful and beneficial to the Regu- lar Army. Every officer and man has to work hard. They also have an opportunity during the summer at least to function with full com- mands. This means that they have some training in the actual handlin of "war organisations." In an emerg- ency the Regular Army will have a much better conception of its Job. There will be fewer mistakes in the future. The Regular Army person- nel will know how to handinthe large mobilisation-training and sup- ply problems that an emergency would in" Mdiately brie-2.
