BIGGEST FIGHT IN
HISTORY Of j. s.
ARMY IS PENDING
Age Limit For Generals Placed
by PerShing Causes Un-

International News Service:
WASHINGTON. Aug g. - The
biggest army fight in the history of
the service impends today. It is be-
tween the younger element and the
older. Before it finally is settled
there is a distinct likelihood that
congress may be injected into the
situation
The fight comes over the question
of promotion TO general rank. on
Pres't Wilson's desk today is long
list of colonies recommended TO be
made brigadier generals. The list
was compiled by Maj. Gen. Tasker
II. Bliss, acting chief of the general
staff. The average age Of the men
who are thus suggested for promo
ton, and incidentally for leading the
heavy fighting on the battle line in
France. is above 90 years of age.
This in the face of a recommenda-
ton by Mai. Gen. Pershing, in SUI
preme command OF the American
forces in France, that the age limit
for brigadier generals be fixed at
about As.
Represents Old school.
Gen. Bliss represents the old
school i'm the army He is a strong
believer i'm the system CT promotion
by seniority. II is in accordance
with this belief that he has recon-
mended the ranking colonies for
promotions. In the last list OF pro-
motions a number of colonies were
overlooked by Gen. Scott because
he feared that they might be too old
for the hard service thai would be
found in France. 1t is admitted that
some of these old men have been
marked now for promotion by Gen.
Bliss.
1t is understood here that Gen.
Pershing's recommendation as made
to the war department, declared
that modern war was no work for
an old man. He pointed out that
while these men undoubtedly were
fully equipped from a scientific
viewpoint for directing fighting, they
did not have the vitality and vim TO
stay with their troops IN the violent
work that mUst be faced in fighting
the Germans.
In making this recommendation
Gen. Pershing had the advice Of
Field Marshal Joffre of the French
army and of Gen. Haig of the Brit
ish army. They pointed out that
under modern conditions Of warfare,
the brigadiet generals were COM
PEELED 70 get personally into the
game and 10 stay with their men In
everything that was met. Old men
cannot stand the pace, Pershing was
told. and this is the message that he
sent back 20 this country.

under way Saturday morning and
began the examinations of the men

Owing to the failure of the board

men reported for examination at

were sent away, regardless OF

Women Rule Hospitals Now.

In the days before 1914 women were
rare in military hospitals. Today, ex-
cept for the doctors and the patients,
the military hospital is almost nun
merry.
This is one of the CHIEF revolutions
wrought by modern warfare The men
who used to act as orderlies are re-
quired for the fighting line. But some
thing more than this The women who
took their places do the work infinite
ly better.
In the Third London General hos
pitaI at Wandsworth you find some
thing like 500 women attending to the
needs of 1000 wounded men. This
number includes $50 trained nurses.
1877 probationers. 123 scrubbers. so or
derlfes, SO clerks, 10 mattresses. mas
seurs and 3 cooks.
The presence Of women in a mill
tary hospital has psychological value
Not only does the wounded man re-
act to the tenderness Of woman. but

My hand closed over hers as she

He stared up into my face, but his
fear of me must have been greater
than of the tapping water below, for
the strands of the rope slipped through
his fingers, and an instant later he
clambered into the bow of the boat,
and sank onto his knees in the water.
To NV relief the dOry did NOT sink

she would never rise again, and my
arms clasped the girl to hold her
steady. Then the hulk rose slowly,
painfully, like a giant struggling for
one last breath. No words can describe
the dead, sedden feeling Of the sinking
bulk under us.

my courage. Ay, there was a chance

the boat was small one, a mere
dinghy intended for use in smooth wa

CHAPTER VII.
I Enforce Authority.

Scarcely had we taken this new
course when the sun, now well above
the horizon, q red ball of fire, burst
through a rift in the clouds, and the
waters in our wake became a trail of
crimson. The encircling mist seemed
rent asunder by some invisible power,
whirling away like wreaths of smoke
blown by the wind, and yielding us
broad view to where sky and ocean
met. Our straining eyes caught no.
where a signal of life or hope, no CLEAN
of distant soil, no black shadow of
smoke. We were alone in the drear
waste Of water, with not even speed
ing seagull to break the dull vista OF
warning sea and sky.
I forced myself to TURN away from
the grim fascination, bAck to the boat
In which we floated. Mccain had sunk
down abaft the jury mast, and rested
there hanging over the side. staring
modify down into the green water.
His heavy face exhibited no interest
and looked almost brutal In the garish
light. Lord, how the appearance OF

the same fellow had played cards
with on the quarterback Of the Esmer-
aida only two days before? Why, then
he had been the life of the company,

be sure, and drinking more than was
necessary, yet apparently good fell
low. But now-why, he actually had
the aspect OF q brute; aye. and like
wise the manners of one. A single

knife. "Just enough to keep US from
starving. Here, Mccain, is your por-
ton"
He reached out and took what I
handed him; then gave utterance to a
curse.
MY GodI do you mean I am to
breakfast on this half biscuit?'' he ex-
claimed angrily.
"On that, or on none at ALL" an
swered, cycling him sternly: "You
haven't done SO much work as to earn
double rations. I give you the same as
take myself. All we have is what is
in this bag, and heaven knows when
we shall meet a ship"
"Ship, HI We are not far from
Long Island"
"Two hundred miles at least, and
with this jury rig we should have to
make some wide tacks on that course.
Take what give you, man, and be de-
cent about it,
He grumbled something regarding
his belief that I was keeping most of
the food for myself, but I broke in, de-
termined to end the discussion:
THAT'S talk enough. Eat your half
biscuit the same as we do, and be
thankful you have got that; and when
you come to the water, one swallow
each will be all we are entitled to. You
hear me?"
Eyes. hear you; but who In thun-
der are your

am not seeking trouble with you, but
you will obey my orders while we are
af1oat here, or take the consequences.
That half biscuit is your ration; eat it,
or leave 1t, as you please, but you'll
cut out the profanity, and I'll not
warn you again"
He was too great a coward to force
the issue, and fell to munching his bis
cult, one hand gripping the gunwale,
as though he wished my throat was be-
tween his fingers. As nibbled at my
own small portion, watehful of his
movements, and thinking Of how best
to keep the fellow at a safe distance,
the girl leaned toward me, and whis-
pered word in my ear.
HE has q revolver. saw the butt

you need have no fear for me-" I
answered reassuringly, and ventured
to touch her hand where it rested on
the thwart between US. 81 have been
a bucko mate, my lady. and learned
how to handle his kind. IF he ever
draws a gun on me out here, I'll teach
him something he never learned yet in
Wall street"
The hours of that day fairly dragged
along, as we stared out dulI-eyed on
the same vista of sea and sky. The
girl and I talked, avoiding as much as
possible all reference to our situation,
and the fate of the yacht, our CONVEX
sation drifting here and there. We
spoke of books, of art, of drama, and
she exhibited even a wider range Of
knowledge ON these subjects than I
possessed, while her comments were
keen and originaInot pedantic, nor
bookish in any way, but the outspoken
frankness of young w0manhood. In
deed, she was wholesome all through,
her face mirror of her nature, her
eyes rejecting back each mood. Never
before had / met one of her sex 80

and plain-spoken.
