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.

nothing to stop these seepages of

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

strongly to the probability that
the winter lull In the fighting is
about over and that big events
are beginning to stir.

again. "I looked for you all i

"I Hity, he said. "It 3 their fa

"It's a big word, Bill. A sol

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. "All 1 know,
Martha, is that I'm ashamed in
my soul to have given you all

.After that oh. Bill. I've never
stopped loving you!" She lifted
her tear-stained face. Bill kiss
ed her .wifty. 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

As Bill stepped on the slarter,
Martha saw Paul turn to Su
zanne. "You've been wonderful,"
he said simply.
Suzanne answered, "I was

now none of them was true. But

that perhaps this crisis had
worked a minor miracle. It had
brought Paul closer to Suzanne
it had given Suzanne a chance
to atone. "How odd, that my life
and Bill's should touch the lives
of others at every point. . . ."
She did not need, now, to hear
Paul tell her that he, too, had
been wrong.- He had thought
loving her was only his own busi

on. others while he locked It in
his own heart. But it had If

smartly saluting a young officer.
"Private Marshall reporting, sir.

'the young officer looked at
; Martha. Her chin came up.
I "Mav I sneak to the commanding
officer, please?"
Bill was led away, after a last
long look and her smile, sure and

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

has been mv fault, too. I must
share the blame." .
The commanding officer eyed
her with frosty wisdom. "Unfor

No wonls came.
