George Creel, chairman of the

Th~re would seem to be some lit

propriety Of publishing the Claxton
letter. 1t is to be noted that in tn.

clares that his views and sentiment
are fully in harmony with those of

with the President. Notwithstar ding
il is sad to express the Pres'd ent's

of the statement: Frankly. | would

Mr. Cresi has not gone far enough
in his efforts to make amends He
merely says that he would not have
permitted the publication of the

discharged from TIL service of the

As To You.

Did you give him a lift? He's a
brother OF man,
And bearing about all the buzz den be
can
Did you give him a smile He was
downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped him
to battle it through.
Did YOU. give him your hand? He
was slipping down hill,
And the world so | fancied, was
using him i'll.
Did You give him a word? Did you
show him the road,
Or did you Just let him go on with
his load:
Did you help him along He's a
sinner ike you,
But the grasp OF your hand might
have carried him through.
Did you bid him good cheer? Just
a word and a smile,
Were what he most needed that last
weary mile.
Do Won know what he bore in that
burden of cares
That is every mans load and that
sympathy shares?
Did you try to find out what he need
cd from you. =
Or did you Just leave him to battle
it through?
Do you know what il means to be
losing the fight.
When a lift just in time might set
everything right?
When a mans borne about all 4
man ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was-why the
quivering lip,
And the glistening tears down the
pale cheek that slip?
Were you brother of his when the
time came to be?
Did you offer to help him, or didn't
YOU see?
Don't you know it's the part of a
brother of man
To find what the grief is and help
when you can?
Did you stop when he asked you to
give him a lift?
Or were you so busy you left him to
shift?
Oh, | know what you say may be
true
But the test of you manhood is;
what did you do?
Did you reach out a hand? Did you
find him the road.
Or did you just let him go by with
his load2

SUGGESTED SHANGE
IN THE INSIGNIA OF
OFFICERS RANK
(Camp kearny Trench and Camp)

Suggestion has been made by a
major in one of the United States
Engineer commands now in France
that the insignia of the commission
ed officers from second lieutenant
to colonel be slightly changed to
prevent confusion in the minds of
French and British soldiers.
The second li~eutenants with their
gold shoulder bars and brown braid
on their sleeves are primarily res
ponsible for the major making the
suggestion. Writing home the major
said:
"A lot of second lieutenants ar
rived yesterday from the United
States with a single gold bar on
their shoulders and khaki colorad
braid on their overcoat sleeves. I
makes them more distinguish
ed- in appearance than first
lieutenants and greatly impresses the
French, who. in common with the
rest of the world, think gold is SUI
perior to silver. We have the same
thing in the gold I'af for a major
and a silver leaf of the same pat
tern for a lieutenant colonel"
Silver Bar For Lieutenant
The major suggests that the sec
ond %licutenants' gold bar b. eliminat-
ed and th0t officers Of that rank be
given a single silver bar. First lieut.
enants could be designated by tv o
silver bars; captains could be given
the silver l-af. the majors could re-
tain the gold leaf. the lieutenant
colonel could be designated by the
silver eagle. while a gold eagle could
be used by colonies.
"Our system does not seems to be
rational and is entirely arbitrary"
says this major. an every other
army in rne world a Single device
braid. star, pip, etc.-indicates a sec
ond lieutenant; two a first lieutenant;
three a captain. etc. Officers and civ
ilians are continually having us ex-
plain our system, which calls for much
memorizing without n mnemonic
aid. Also on the sleeves of our over
coats we are one behind other armies
Since we are acting with armies hav-
ing a definite system we should con-
form. One braid for a second lieu
tenant. two for a first lieutenant.
three for a captain. four for a major,
five for a lieutenant colonel. six for
a colonel. The change would be
easily to make and would not cost
much. As it is our first lieutenants
are thought to be second ~lieutenants,
our captains to be first l~ieutenants.
our majors to be captains. etc"
The present gold and silver shout
der strap designation for officers and
chevron system for non-commission-
ed officers in the United States Ar
my was adopted in l847. Originally
%lietenant colonies wore two leaves to
differentiate them from majors.
1t has been suggested that if the
United States creates the rank of
field marshal during the war the in
sigma would have to be a sun. similar

that the operations will be on a more
