YOUNG men are training by the hundreds of thousands somo selected and serving Invol untarilyfor a dollar a day, r board, lodging and clothes. Those men are in the army. If emer gency requires it they will ven ture their lives, some possibly be killedothers maimed. In other parts of this same country thousands of other men, hired to render service of a vital nature in the defense program, are being very well paid Indeed but are striking. Some are strik ing for higher pay and some are striking because factions In a i particular plant or industry arc fighting over which shall control the Industry. They arc battling, that is, mainly for the purpose of seeing which group will have the power of collecting the dues from the workers. There Is something peculiarly wrong with this picture. The whole thing Is hard to figure out. The best bet Is to classify it all under the heading of "social gains" and let It go ut that. This year the members of the American Legion will observe the anniversary of Washington's birthday with a roll call registra tion. The purpose Is to list the veterans, their experience, quali fications, and abilities, as an In ventory of trained manpower available for national defense. Not so very long ago men elig IKo for active military service were registered -Inventoried and frpm that inventory will be drawn the troops necessary for any emergency. The draft registration was fol lowed almost immediately wllh a registration of industry, Indus trial equipment and productive rapacities. In connection with I this Inventory there was also made an Inventory of skilled workmen. j Hut the values to the national defense program of the millions ! upon millions of hours of train- ! Ing In the work of war, repre sented by the more than one mil- j Hon members of the American ; Legion, had somehow in the rush of things not been taken Into con ' sldcnitlon as a national asset. National commander of the American Legion, Mllo J. Warn ' er, alert to the great defense : value represented by the Legion ; membership, yesterday an niiunccil his plan lor a vnlun 1 lary l egist rat Ion, or Inventory nf , this valuable manpower. The Idea hark nl this plan is not that the veterans will be railed for active military duty, but that they will be ready for serv- Ice In whatever capacity they may be needed. ! It is a tine thought, and one that certainly will have the ' heartiest cooperation from the - mon of the Legion. Editorials on New (Continued from uiga 1.) mean the beginning of a German J push to the south. He speaks suggestively of j what might happen If Britain, ' Turkey and all the peoples of the j Balkans stood together to hold ! up such an assault. Mu'l'rJ that he doesn't Include Ftussin, which has done nothing to stop these seepages of Germans Into Bulgaria ol fled by plane to Join Weygand in Africa. There was nothing to it, but it shows hosv tensely all Europe is waiting for some thing to happen in that quarter.) "'ERMAN planes appear over Iceland, which since the Dutch collapse has been held by the British and Is reported to be heavily fortified. Some of them swoop low and machine-gun Brit ish planes on the ground. There have been reports for clays that Germjn planes arc making methodical observation flights over Ireland, and you will recall that one of them crash ed in County Cork the other day. Presumably they arc mak ing aerial maps. Map making is preliminary to Invasion. VOTE also that Chamberlain in his report to- the commons Included GLIDERS among the means by which the Germans may be expected to try to land troops in England if and when the long-expected attack comes. That is a new thought to most of us. Gliders (or sail planes) can be manufactured In vast numbers and very cheaply, but training glider pilots In vast numbers would be another mat ter, one would think. ANYWAY, the news In today's I Monday's) papers points strongly to the probability that the winter lull In the fighting is about over and that big events are beginning to stir.

As she sat there beside him, while the old car strained over the road, Martha thought of the guardhouse where she had found him last Sunday. Would this be- ing absent without leave mean a longer term in the guardhouse? . More severe punishment? "Bill, will they court-martial you?" "I don't know." He turned and his eyes met hers.

Then they turned their faces resolutely straight ahead to the Immediate future that awaited them at the camp. Two hours later, going down the road that led to the sentry hut and the cantonment, Martha saw Suzanne's car. "BUI! There's Paul and Suanne!" Bill touched the horn button. Paul and Su zanne tumbled nut of their car In surprise and relief. "Oh. Martha, you found hltn!" "Yes." Her smile was tremu lous. "There's no lime now. Bill must report at once. Wall lor me." As Bill stepped on the slarter, Martha saw Paul turn to Su zanne. "You've been wonderful," he said simply. Suzanne answered, "I was wrong about those things I said at the hospital, Paul.

"How odd, that my life and Bill's should touch the lives of others at every point. . . ."

Bill was led away, after a last long look and her smile, sure and -id. to stiffen his spine. "No matter what comes now, Bill can iace it with courage," sfle thought. She, herself, faced wllh cour age the stern, gray-haired man behind the big desk in the bare, clean office. "I only wanted to explain, sir," she said steadily. "My husband and I had been hav ing trouble. He thought I'd left him, and he lost his head, went home to find . out whether I'd really gone. Whatever he's done has been mv fault, too. I must share the blame." . The commanding officer eyed her with frosty wisdom. "Unfor tunately, Madam, the army has no iurisdictlnn over wives." leaned forward, softening a little.
