SAYS EUROPE IS CREATING
ARMY FOR UNITED STATES
Will Irwin, War Correspondent, As
serts Thousands Of Americans
Are in Ranks Of Belligerents.

Europe IS doing more to build up an
army for the United States than the
United States itself is doing" said Will
Irwin. noted war correspondent. in a
personal talk to the members of the
National Press Club yesterday after
noon.
by that I mean that there are thou
sands of Americans fighting in the war
zone in Europe. I know an American
Of twenty one who is already a major;
1 know one who is the head of the
most difficult special aviation service.
The American ambulance companies do
three times the work Of any other sim
ilar organisations.
What will this country do with these
trained war veterans when peace
comes? At present there is no way
that they can enter our army above
the rank Of lieutenant, and that will
not be acceptable. Congress should
take some step to permit these espe-
cially trained men to make themselves
useful to thir own country"
Mr.. Twins talk was a characteristic
description, for the most part, of GER
tain romantic phases OF the war. On
this last trip Mr.. Irwin saw more of
the italian front than Of any other.
and gave a most interesting descrip-
ton of the difficulties and excitement
of fighting 1900 feet above sea level.
He said the italian army is a wonder
full organization. with especially eff
cient officers.

old fertilization and out at an opening
and through Rock Springs. A quarter
of a mile farther we came to a very
thick woods. the guides having previ-
ously marked their path by means of
blaZes on trees.
"In the midst of it we encountered
the old right of way Of the abandoned
Glen Echo-Chevy Chase line. Out of
the woods we passed by a large granite
quarry, some of US following the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad to River road
and others making the shorter but
rougher descent and across fields. both
sections joining ranks within ten min

Snow

When I was young / viewed
the snow with dancing eyes and
heart aglow. 1t meant that !!
could slide and coast, with all
the happy schoolboy host, and
mold the snow into a sphere and
soak some old gent in the ear
The falling of the sparkling snow
meant joy and laughter long ago:
I, being young, was not aware OF
sorrow in the world, or care, and
all I wished, beneath the sun, was
lust to have all kinds OF fun. But
now I'm old view the snow, and
think of suffering and woe. l
sit in comfort by the fire, and
punch the sawdust from my Tyre;
but others, by an empty CRATE,
are shivering and cussing fate;
and little kids, too thinly clad,
are trudging through the snowy
grad and poor old men feel rheu-
matiz through all their joints
and tendons whiz. And there
are widows needing spuds, and
down-and-outers needing buds.
There's so much grief, there's so
much dearth, whenever snow en-
shrouds the earth! But there's
a little one can do. to make the
wintry day less blue. I'll send
some plumber to the poor. to
those who suffer and endure!

Paying Basis Not Necessary"

For a number of years ii has been
the uppermost thought in the minds of
some Postmasters General as to what
methods could be pursued that would
put the Post ONCE Department on a
paying basis. Why should this be?
Why should a seven or eight hour law
be effective in the case of certain gov
eminent offices and the postal clerks
be required to work at all hours Of the
day and night in order that the Post
ONCE Department might be run at a
profit? It's all wrong. No department
Of tt. government should be run for
profit.
This country is big enough and
financially able to pay. and pay well, for
the services Of it's employees, and the
time ia fast approaching when 1T will
be realized that these departments at
to be of service to the people. and not
source of revenue for the govern
ment. II 2-cent postage can be main
tanned without any loss to the govern
ment. then cut the rate to l cent. even
IL il does cost money to do it. Let us
realize that we are in Washington
mainly to serve the people as a whole.
When this idea begins TO simmer
through tho cr2niums of some of the
powers that be then. and then only
will something be done along the line
of paying government employees sal
aries commensurate with their work
and in accord with present living con-
ditions."
