No Sex in Initials

signing merely initials and leaving you

notion of their identity

weeks in desultory correspondence

YOUNG COLONEL IN DILEMMA
Ways Of War Were New Thing to
His Understanding

At the Army and Navy club in
Washington a number of veteran Off
GERS were telling stories, when Gen.
Chaffee told this anecdote of Gen.
Carr, who died In New York some
years ago:
1t appears that Gen. Carr, at the
outbreak of the civil war, had left
Troy to take command of a regiment.
The engagement In which. as colonel
he first figured was at Big Bethel His
regiment had been halted for rest
and refreshment in a pleasant place
and had not yet experienced the ex-
citement of a skirmish. 1t happened
however, that confederates were in
ambush In the immediate neighbor-
hood and from a safe hiding place
they opened fire on the northerners.
Carr, so the story runs, instantly put
spurs to his horse and dashed up to
a group OF officers. Excitement and
bewilderment were apparent upon his
young face as he approached the
party.
"They are firing upon my regi-
mentl" he shouted. My God! Now
what is to be done?"-Harper's
