LONDON April lo.--Thc Times
military correspondent, discussing
American participation In the war
heartily Endorses the apparent inten
lions OF the American government tc
use tho regular army and the Nationa
Guard as a nucleus for the formation
of 4 national army. He recalls what 1
Eertous disadvantage II was to Grea,
! Britain 20 be compelled TO throw her
regular forces into the lighting line IN
1914. because OF Frances urgent need
Of help.
"It the United States" he says
,.'cares to send n regiment or two to
london or Rome. TO affirm the scli-
-dari.v OF the allied cause. 1t would
lie n graceful and rightly apprccis ted
sRct But this war is very serious
business. and for the national army
which America proposes TO create. the
whole OF her existing professional cadrc
Is little enough. We shall not mis-
understand American action in the least
81 we have TO wait some months until
her first divisions, we'll equipped and
thoroughly trained. make their ap-
pearance in Franco.
Hastily formed and unframed levies
arc useless. Our now armies
I'm 1918 took nine months in forming
before the first division had arrived in
France. and this division took three
. months more TO harden in trench war
fare before Il could safely engage in
q great attack. America may be able
! to curta!l these periods and send over
fcw di".sions this autumn. but 1t
will hardly he THIS year that America
IA adequately represented on the bat
rtle field. Germany reckoned on this
) delay when she deliberately preferred
the hostility of the United States TO
abandonment Of, ruthless submarine
warfare"
>OEFICEns SHOULD TRAIN
AT SEAT OF WAR
Tho writer emphasizes the necessity
OF systematic training OF officers, and
I points out that ;he experience Of the
allies has been that this Is best done
I at the seat OF war. He continues:
Every facility Will certainly be &C.
corded by the allies II America takes

fully expect that American science and

I great deal when the Stars and Stripes
!. come over the water. but meanwhile
5 elementary professional education of
NIL ranks Is as much necessity to the
+ American army as it has been and
I still is to ours"
The correspondent concludes BY in
. histing on the necessity of counterins
, the submarine menace before every
tainE else. In order to clear tho At
lantic for the passing OF the American
army and supplies. ITO this task" n.
concludes, the skill and value OF the
American and allied navics must be

why, yes" said Margaret, mo-
tioning to chair. Her mother was
not home and she even dared to
make a hot cup of tea and set out a
plain but dainty little lunch for the
man.
'T'm not used tO>begging, he said,
but had my pocket picked at the
station. I have come quite a dis
lance on the train and must walk
quite a long way to reach a friend"
His voice and manner were those
of a gentleman and Margaret looked
wonderingIy at him. She saw he had
stopped eating and was gazing at a
little charcoal sketch she had pinned
up on the wall.
"Who did that?" he asked.
Margaret admitted that she had.
1t was a study of her mother in the
act of rolling out a pie crust.

served. But that right arm Is trif1e
out"
ooh, then, you know.
"a Httle,3' he broke in dryly.
Then Margaret told him how she
had never had any instruction, how
much she wanted it, and somehow
she found, herself growing confiden-
tial about the dear dream of her life
to this entire stranger. She asked
him if he knew of Alton Faber. Oh,
yesPhe knew of him and his pictures
were pretty good. She told him Mr..
Faber was a second cousin. He did
not seem to show any great interest
in the disclosure, but gave his atten-
ton to his cup of tea. AS he rose to
go he thanked his entertainer cour-
teously and the next moment was
gone.

~. JUST 10 nave uaQ one take an m

it as though he knew and to tell her
where it was wrong, was something
worth all the trouble and nagging it
entailed.
About two weeks after this Mar

New York postmark. It was from
Alton Faber, saying that if she would

her sketches, he might be able to
help her to study. A check for the
railroad fare to New York and back
was inclosed.
Mrs. Tyson nearly collapsed in her
establishment.

how did he know anything about

Then Margaret confessed that over
three weeks ago she had written to
Alton Faber telling him of her am
bition and asking his advice
fWell, you just better send that
money back advised her mother
You'll lose two or three days and it
Won't amount to, anything"
But Margaret was determined to
go and mentioned that the man had
said Faber's pictures were good.
"Oh," cried Mrs. Tyson. 81 see it
all. You talked to that man about
going to New York, and this is just
one of those awful plots to lure you
down there to your ruin. I should
think you had heard enough about
this white slave business not to fall
into this snare. How do you know
this letter is from Alton Faber. You
wouldn't know him if you saw him."
Margaret had to admit there was
some groundwork for her mothers
suspicious, and her heart sank. But
she did not send the check back and
at last got her mother to consent to
go with her.
