OFFICERS WORRIED , > Indications Are That Many Amy Men Will Lose Jobs. YOUNGSTERS IN SPECIAL DANCER Mcfo of High Rank Nettled by Lack of Appreciation for Defenee Work? Military Man Want Coyntry to Keep Big Fighting Force. These are anxious days for the office;* of the Regular Army, rays a Washington dispatch. , The lads who pollMu.d. the swivel I chairs in Washington during the war, and likewise the men vrho lod battaj -t ions, regiments, and even divisions into the face or ihe enemy wnp nv? visible evidence of fear and trembling ,ty>-day are listening: nervously 1 or any sort of a tip as to what congress intends to do about the military forces of the United States. '* The younger officers are frankly anxious about their Jobs, and they will tell earnestly how unjust it would be to ruin the .career . of one who has spent four of the best years of his life in such a place as West Point, only to be ruled out at a time when he. seems to be in a fair way to realize upon his investment of weary weeks endured under the scourge of ruthless dlscipline. t Call Policy an Error. Officers of higher rank will give you n lengthy disquisition upon the unsoundness of a policy which permits a nation, to run from one extreme to the other in the matter of national defense and will quote you long figures '18 show how much more inexpensive the World war would have been if the government hadn't made such, errors more recently. They cite the recommendations of various chiefs of staff of iUustrLous fame to prove that 250,Q00?or is it 150,000?men are the Irreducible minimum necessary for the safety of the United States, and then they inquire anxiously "whether Anthony of Kansas or Herrlck of Oklahoma has said anything further in congress recently about reducing the army to 60,000 men. From Secretary of War Weeks on down the army Is frankly worried. The higher authorities realize that, like the demand for .reform, the demand for national defense comes in waves but they are fearful that in the hysteria for education of armament the country t^ill. lose much of the valuable ground it gained by the expediences of the World war. Opinion of Experts. The following quotations from the lecture recently delivered at the Army War College Joy Colonel John McA. Palmer and published to the army in an official bulletin, will show what the opinion of military experts on the subejct is: "It has been the -practice of the United States ution the outbreak of \var to expand a small professional peace establishment into a great lionprofessional war army, .These, expansions have always been perfected without any perpetuity of doctrine or organization, through wfcich the expertence generated in one expansion could be utilized in the next. Or, to put it another way, at certain crises in our history, with a vast expenditure of treasure and human energy, we have erected a great war organization and then have demolished that organization after the emergency, without any nnnvlalnn fnr mjilftnf thnt ovnpnrlitlirp a jtermanent national investment. After being forced to militarize a whole generation we have taken no precaution to make the sacrifices of that generation a heritage of experience for the next generation that may be called upon to bear the stress of war. "No National System." "At the outbreak of the C'vil war wo had no national military system, and such military knowledge as we had was concentrated in a limited number of trained soldiers, most of I them in the regular army, with a few others in civil life who had served in the Mexican war. It suddenly became the mission of these men, without preconceived plans, to impart tha^ knowledge to vast citizen armies. Their visual experience had been limited generally to company and battalion units. I think it is fair to say that only one leader showed any conception of the practical business of troop leading in 1861. This was Stonewall Jackson, and it is interesting to remember that he had left .the piddling routine of the old army shortly after the Mexican war with the deliberate pbject of seeking an opportunity to study military art. "By the end of the war we were the oreon toot nAufot? An no rt h Wo had'developed a powerful military organization. We had leaders and staff bfficers indoctrinated with the latest conceptions of strategy and tactics. Our supply officers had overconle the difficulties of Sherman's advance tc Atlanta. We had a General Staff in ^act, though not in name. "Remained Great Power "Even after the demobilization ol the army we remained for a time p great military power. For a few years ftur armies were still potentially Ir being, prepared if necessary for i speedy recall to the colors. This was fully recognized by the world thai jp 1S67 a mere hint sufficed to causi a withdrawal of the French armies from Mexico. A little later, however fye great war organization had meltc< |\v;iy. Its officers and professional sol tjiers went back to the problem ot tn< company and the battajlon, with n< ajrangemeht for transmitting thei: ldre and experience to their younge: brothers and sons.

From being leaders of the people in a great national crisis our American professional soldiers passed again into an isolated caste, without vital contact with the body of the nation." It is some .Such state of affairs as that pictured by Colonel Palmer that serious-minded officers of the army have in mind today when they note the tendency of congress to cut down appropriations for the war department. No doubt the element of selfishness enters into the consideration in a few places, but in a majority of cases the thinking men of the,regular army believe that the policy which now apparently has a dominating position is "penny wise and pound foolish." < WON WITH CAVALRY . | t; . ?" " ' . Yankee Officer's" Report oh AllenbyV Operations. .. i Cavalry won the war, at least so much of the world conflict, as ? was fought out in Palestine, according to Lieut. Col. Edward Pavls? United States army, who has just returned to Washington to present to the general staff his observations on more than six years' service with the armies .of other nations. Before the entry of the United States in the" World war, and afterward, Colonel Davis served with the force of Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Serbia and Greece. According to Colonel Davis, his most valuable experience was with the British cavalry during the Jerusalem campaign. In hoth the Jerusalem and Damascus campaigns. Colonel Davis said, the master stroke was delivered by the cavalry. He described several of the mounted charges made by General AJlenby's forces, and explained that the mnct ufi'iUntr ntt'fiinpd hv those swift and unexpected blows at enemy infantry and artillery groups. "After the British had reached what looked like a stalemate on the Gaza. BEGINS HER CAMPAIGN. ^ / * IHHHBHHHH ! Trfitiiii riitfi Mrs B. T. Cotb.nm of Little * j RocU.

But the clng love over the ethereal waves, everal persona "listening in," Miss least bit fazed as she sent a kiss Beersheba llrie," Colono' Davis said, j "it was decided to employ cavalry lfa a final effort to pierce the Turkish deI fenses. The British strategists decided cavalry could operate best against one end of the line, and a mounted squadron was sent to "bite off" an end of the intrenchments that had resist[ ed every effort to capture. "Within an hour the cavalry had effected contact with the Turks and then began a process that might best be described as 'rolling up' that thin line that so long had resisted every effort at assault. The operation was a complete success, and the entire line was in British control Within ten hours." ? GIRLS AND TNE MOVIES Congresswoman Alice Robertson Gives n Advice. The end of the Tainbow trail to happiness is found in your own home town, according to Miss Alice M. Robertson, gray-haired congresswoman, from Oklahoma. It Is the simple philosophy of "Miss Alice" that "happiness Is contentment" and "contentment can only be found by making the best of what you have." These were her observations when her attention was ,called to the recent scandals in the movie world on the Pacific coast involving young girls who sought happiness and fame on the (silver screen, far from the protecting influences of home life. To these screen-dazzled girls, she says: "Stay home and be content." The congresswoman Is satisfied that the movie-producing world will be much cleaner after the present scandals have died away. Usually Clears Atmosphere. "A thunderstorm usually clears the atmosphere and rid3 it of disease and germs," she said ip her quaint mild way. "This disruption ,in the movie world will only clean it of the worst characters. I think it will bring a higher standard of morality among the people who have become idols and teachers of practically the whole human race." Miss Alice declared that girls who sought happiness in the movie woldd failed to find it. "Newspapers say these stars are drug addicts," she observed. "You don't take drugs when you're happy. They are used only when the soul is depressed,! and you see some short road to happiness. It is pitiful, too, for the awakening only dissolves all the beautiful dreams that come from drugs and makes their surroundings more sordid and unhappy in contrast." Miss Alice is admittedly old-fashioned. She said ,it was the duty of every father and mother to "want their cmiuren 10 live ciean lives. "Should Censor in Home." "Mothers and fathers today seem to lose sight of this," she added. "I'm old-fashioned. I believe the movies should be censored in the home. You chu't (reform a nation by law. If mothers teach their children to desire clean things the movies will be compelled to abandon indecent things." To girls who ure dazzled by movie careers she gave this solemn warning: "I know some sweet little girls who went to the coast to enter the movie colony," she said. "They came back unsuccessful because they wouldn't pay the price. Some may succeed without paying, but these girls were asked to sell their souls for a chance to act. "Girls ignore advice, but I'll te'.l thetn, anyway, to stay home and be I content. Happiness is contentment | and contentment can only be found by j making the best of what you have. Girls you'll find happiness chiefly in your own home town." ?There are two kinds of men?very busy men who will serve you now and I men who have little to do and will at- J tend to your case next week.

And then and there he told It. .Aside from the house and lot, his good uncle had quietly handed hlr.i a case containing the Jewels belonging to dead Aunt Beulah. Jessie was the only bride in the family, he hnd explained, and she should have them. Then Alan opened the dusty, timeworn case.to reveal gems that blazed forth a richness way up Into the thousands. For a moment Jessie stood transfixed, fascinated, her eyfes sparkling ..with a woman's natural delight over the radiant gems. Then she realized what they, meant. Their, treasured savings, the price of an education, had vanished* but what a sure replacement! A She turned from the glittering display, her arras extended towards husband, daughter and son. .

"I don't know New York judge or what experiences he may have had, but he generalizes, and that's net fair. *$t is true, no doubt, that many wives drive their husbands to bankruptcy by their demands but.no man was ever made to cbmmit a crime by a woman.

"In big cities like New York there .is too much 'keeping up with the Jones' spirit, and people live for the neighbors instead of for themselves, but even in those cities the women who drive their husbands to the bankruptcy courts or the suicide route by their desire to have more expensive furs and a larger collection of jewels than Mrs. Smith Vf their set are in the minority.

They shouldn't be blamed for this; neither should their husbands. I know when I finish my day's work I don't want to go home to talk about it. I'm tired of business and want relaxation. And that Is true of the average business man. He doesn't let his wifi know of his business affairs because he Is just too tired to talkiihop.
