ALARM THAT WAS NEEDLESS

The days of waiting for the word to
move around the Seventh regiment ar

the pathos and humor which accom-
p;tny high-tension times. On the eve
of entraining when the mothers had
begged and wheedled in vain for adj
mission at the front door of the
urmory, they tlocked to the Lexington
avenue side, the back door. Here they
sursed at full tide.
As a heavy truck backed up they
shifted the strong odor of coffee. The
wagon was piled with sacks of it. One
of the mothers turned sorrowful face
to her companion.
what! Eevery one Of those bags full
of coffee?" she asked. "Oh, dear! Cot
fee makes Alfred so nervous he can't
sleep wink
Then came an enormous bread wag
on following the coffee load into the
dark nrmOry. The smell of newly
baked bread floated through the over
wrought group.
All that fresh bread?" queried an
other mother. you mean warm bread
just out of the oven? Well, I can see
