Best Service Column I'm City.

Secretary of War Baker is evolving
a plan whereby general officers in
the American army will receive des-
ignauons that will allow them to
rank with commanders of the allied
troops. The Secretary spent two hours
yesterday with the Senate commit
tee on Military Affairs explaining the
appointments.
There are now about forty major
Generals in the field for the United
States. Many of these will be elevat-
ed to lieutenant-generalships.
1t is probable that there will be
but one full general-Pcrshing.
The allied commanders include
many generals and some field mar
shals. But the idea of a field mar
shal in the American army has not
been considered.
The indications are that each COM
mander of an army corps will be
named a lieutenant-general.
Secretary Baker will soon make a
written recommendation to the Sen
ate committee upon the subject dis
cussed today.

Written from memory

Once upon a time when the
world was new and the birds had
just learned how to build their
nests there had been several
quarrels and there was no one to
settle them.
They decided to have a king.
The birds had a certain day they
were to meet. The bird that could
fly the highest in the air was to be
king.
They met one morning in the
garden. All the birds were there,
big and little, singing and chirping
ON the bushes. The eagle sat on
the top of a tall pine tree.
The little wren few up to where
the eagle sat and said, u suppose
YOU expect to be king"

The birds began to fly up in TIE

to be seen for he had hopped
lightly on the eagles head.
When The eagle looked down he
could see nothing Of the wren.
