to persuade her TO come to Plattsburg
to be married, Miss Gilbert finally
consented. The date of the wedding

officerS' Reserve Corps
Exercises Impressive.

Nothing has happened here during
the past week, however, nor for many
weeks, so interesting as the closing
of the Officers Reserve Corps camp
at Fort Myer, with its thrilling exer-
cises. and the train OF weddings which
followed immediately after the re-
lease of the young officers from
training Sitting on the back OF an
automobile seat at Fort Myer on Mon
day afternoon, pinched myself to
be sure that / wasn't dreaming.
Watching those 500 men, the finest
in, the country, march by in perfect
formation to receive their diplomas,
/ could but half realize what it all
meant So often have we seen mo-
tion pictures OF similar scenes. OF
young men receiving intensive train
ing for active service in France, but
always they have been men of other
nations. THIS time they were our
own lads preparing in the same way
for the same work.
It was thrilling. inspiring. moving
and. to my mind. the exercises
marked an important step in the max
ing of the history OF our participa-
ton in the great war. They were the
closing paragraph in the first chap
ter of a 6story entirely novel TO this
country. Never before have officers
OF our army been trained in so short
a time. and their graduation was the
first big step in the plans this coun-
try has laid out for a decisive milf

and who served as cicerone. guide.
philosopher, and friend for the first
japanese mission which came to
Washington over fifty years ago to
negotiate a treaty between the two
nations. Plans are maturing for the
official functions to be given in their
honor, which will add a picturesque
chapter to the already interesting
social history OF this summer.
Meanwhile the Washington world
Is amusing itself in a rather less
formal fashion. The marriage of
pretty Dorothy Shuey and Christie
pher F. Smith. OF the Norwegian le-
cation staff. and the numerous fes-
tivities in their honor during the
week gave a filliP OF interest to the
