Enlisted Man In v. S. Army Has Nine
Steps to Climb Before He
Arrives at the Top.

The private soldier, standing at the
bottom of the army stairs, has nine
steps to climb before he arrives at
the top, a general. His first promo
ton is to corporal and the next to
sergeant. He Is elevated to these
grades by his. regimental commander.
The next step to commission bear
ing the presidents maine was former
ly the most difficult to negotiate, but
thanks to the army's pressing need
of officers 1t Is now fairly easy to
take for men who honestly possess
the qualities necessary to make the
right kind of officers, says Richard
Smith in Leslie's.
After he becomes second lieuten-
ant time and opportunity will give
the soldier his first lieutenancy and
later captaincy. Next he becomes a
major. Directly above the major
stands the lieutenant colonel, who Is
one grade below q colonel. At the
top, for final reward, is a generals
star.
Easy as the ascent seems to the
laymen, superficial examination of
the facts will prove 1t difficult
climb. but by no means forlorn hope.
Witness the fact that one Of the most
caste-controlled armies in the world,
the British. has at Its head general
In chief who began as ranker. Even
on peace footing enlisted men Of
ability in our army have been able to
secure commissions through study
and application to duty. On war
basis this opportunity is much greater.

Sir Hubert HerkOmer, the we'll
known artist, used to tell an amusing
story of a London art dealer. This
man had two beautiful reproductions
of the painting "The Approaching
Storm"
One of these pictures he placed in
the show window, but 1t did not sell.
At length, in order to draw attention
to the picture, he put card on 1t on
which he printed the words. 'The APP
proaching Storm, especially suitable
