OF DESK MEN
oomo rroot Army Jobs Should be
Filled by Older Men and
Not Those Of
Draft Ace.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The pro.
cess OF eliminating bomb proof army
jobs for men of draft age is under
way.
The general plan is to rid Washing
ton OF draft age officers whose places
can be filled by older men or civil.
ians and to give the youthful desk
men field service.
Some OF the highest army officials
point out that it is essential to have
vast army behind the lines and that
only comparatively small part of
this stay-at-home force consists OF
'slackers"
Six to twelve men are required to
supply each soldier on the line. And
there are many men here, 1t is point
ed out. who are tied to desk Jobs
who would prefer outside service.
The present move is intended to rid
the army of men with secure COM
missions who have sought the desk
jobs as safety first posts.

Above a new made grave today,
Who sleeps the long, long years

Dear soldier heart that beat SO true:
You reached at last the journeys
end,
When thy great spirit homeward flew
And left heartache with a friend.
Mid fame and shot and clashing
steel
And courage such as lions show.
You persisted for the great ideal;
A despot's seething overthrow.
Dear roamer of another world,
Thy fame shall echo year on year;
When freedoms flag has been un-
furled,
Thy name will on It's stripe appear.
The stars upon that flag shall be
A little brighter for your loss
One of a mighty company,
That died upon war lords cross.
And sometimes In lonely hour,
With life a trife hard to bear.
I'll see a grave where blooms a
flower,
And wish that were sleeping
there.
