WHEN PERSHINC
 AND JOFFRE MET

You have come, God bless you!" This was the greeting of Marshal Joffre to General Persh- ing as the leader of the Ameri- can Army in France stept off the special train in the Care du Nord Tn Paris. It was memor- able meeting of two great fight ing men, and Charles H. Grasty, special correspondent of the New York Times. draws this picture of the scene:
 When the music stopt Gener- al Pershing stept abruptly down the car-steps to the platform. Ambassador Sharp introduced himself and welcomed him; then Viviani. After the latter's ef- fusive welcome Pershing turned a little to the right, and there stood Papa" Joffre. 1 never want to see anything finer than the meeting of the those two. Both hands of each went out to the other. They stood face to tace without a word. l have never seen such smile as wreathed the face of the great Marshal. It did not change in the course of the salutation. What he was saying was as plain as if he were shouting it.:
 You have come, God bless you! a splendid solder from a people unconquerable in their great ness, to help save France-my France! l know your country and l know you, and the saliva tion of France is sure. After that the hand-shaking with Plainleve, with the representa- tives from the Elysee. and even with Foch. seemed perfunctory.
 As the party moved toward the gate there was a shout-a real rebel yell. It had not only the volume, but the tang in it. it smote ones tympanum. 1t took me back to New York and the shouting for Joffre that rocked the Woolworth Tower. This rebel yell was repeated over and over again. It was even more tremendous when the party reached the street. and it was taken up and spread as by an electric current from square to square until it became faint in the distance.

TRAINING 1ODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
Shall You Let Your Children
"PIay SoIdier7"
ARE DRAMATIC BY INSTINCT
Imp%ersonating Pirates and Robbers
Not Necessarily Harmful and Anti
MiIitarism Is Not Encouraged by
Forbidding Military Toys.
By sIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

by W.
N TIMES Of peace many of us can
! visualize the horrors of war clear
ly enough to make us oppose every
thing that encourages militarism. But
with half of the civilized world bleed
ing, the horrors are before the minds
of all of us constantly, and we are
moved to do something more effective
than shutting our eyes. We realize
the importance Of intoxicating in the
young a type of patriotism that Is free
from aggressiveness or jingOism. Con-
fident of our patriotism, we turn our
attention to q crusade against mill
tary" toys and the playing of soldiers
by the children.
There is, of course, no use in over
stimulating children in these plays.
Nothing is to be gained by urging a
more lively interest in details of mill
tary campaigns or in making the chill
dren more familiar with the instru-
ments of destruction. But neither Is 1t
wise to forbid to boys the playing of
soldier.
When boys play soldier it is in re-
Spouse to two facts which cannot be
entirely removed. The child, at a GER
tain age, will not only initiate what he
sees going on around him, but he will
dramatize all the activities of which he
learns. This instinct is there if the
child is normal, and any outside regu-
lation, to be effective, must consist not
of rules regarding what may or what
may not be played, but 1t must take the
form of selecting all the ideas that are
to enter the child's mind. This is OBJ
viously an impossible task. With all
his devices and resources, the father or
the Buddha failed in his efforts to keep
from the child all knowledge of suf-
fering and death. Nor can we hope to
keep our children long in ignorance of
suffering and death, or war and MUIR
der, or robbery and other crimes. n
whatever they learn they will incor-
porate in their plays just as certainly
as they have an opportunity to play
at all.
FOrbidding certain types of play will
not INQUIRY tne HdtuTui lHl'uloeS "
initiate and to dramatize. Neither will
1t destroy the child's natural interest
in the unusual and in the dramatic"
On the contrary, fOrbidding is one of
the surest ways Of arousing interest,
one of the surest ways of tempting to
action.
But even if we could prevent the
childrcn's participation in these mimic
~paradings and warnings, it is very
doubtful whether it would be worth
while to do so. The injury that may
come from playing soldier has been
exaggerated. The fact is that children
do all their playing, at least during
the years before adolescence, entirely
without prejudice. They are alter,
nately Indians and Puritan Pilgrims
they impersonate the parish priest or
Captain Cook with equal sincerity and
abandon. When they enact a stage
robbery there is no moral implication
in the assignment of roles, and as
they view the drama of life from the
unsophisticated level of three to four

TURNING LIGHT ON THE SUN
Scientific Explanation That at First
Seems a Little Paradoxical to the
Average layman.

Sorae of the scientists connected
with the Smithsonian institution in
Washington have been throwing light
on the sun. Paradoxical as this may
seem, it is not more paradoxical than
their discovery that the sun is not a
burning ball because 1t is too hot to
burn!
They explain 1t In this way: At 5000
DEGREES centigrade, almost all chemical
rompounds can neither exist nor form.
without chemical compounds you a n
not have combustion. Thus, wood is
, chemical compound. When it burns.
The combustion is merely the process
If oxygen and other air elements unit
ing with the elements in the wood.
which in turn are ~rearranging them
relyes into new compounds. At GOO
degrees of heat, matter can exist only
In its basic elements, such as carbon,
potassium and the like, nor will the in
tense heat permit these elements to
unite to form combustible compounds.
