1t did not mean much to the
American soldier boys to be told the
house was a perfect model of the
Petit-Trianon. 1t was like no house
they had ever seen before but by far
the grandest.
Pink marble facades and gorgeous
wrought-iron gate way and imposing
door created an impression that the
rest of the house deepened. In the
great hallway butler in livery
usnered the men into cloak room
and relieved them Of their hats and
coats Coming up the marble stairs

.precariously on the smooth floor.
They made their way in awed silence

WAR OF 1Of7?"

Thus far the only official attempt
to give a title to our war against
Germany has been several references
to it as the "War Of 1917" It would
seem that the European War"
would be a more fitting appellation
since this is the first time American
troops have ever fought on that con
tinent Moreover, if the war con
tinues for several years longer the
mere limiting it to 1917 in its title
will be scarcely adequate to the pros
pective gigantic task the country has
of fighting war 5000 miles from
home. to say nothing Of its added
tale of years.-Army and Nary Jour-

DISTINCTION IN RANK ONLY
IN INTEREST OF DISCIPLINE

Distinctions of rank in the U. S.
Army imply no social distinction and
are solely in the interest of military
discipline, according to Secretary
Baker. This statement was made by
him in letter to Vice-President
Marshall in response to a Senate reso-
luton asking whether there are War
Department rules and regulations to
prevent social intercourse between
onscerS and men.
Citing paragraph 3, Article / of
the Army Regulations, Secretary
Baker said in his letter:
In this paragraph will be seen an
endeavor to arrive at true balance
in the proper relationship between
officers and enlisted men on the one
hand to encourage and exchange CON
1dence and cooperation between the
officer and the soldier, and on the
other to avoid personal intimacies be-
tween an officer and any particular
soldier or soldiers, which might have
a tendency to lead to favoritism or
the suspension of favoritism in as
signments for duties or cause discon-
tent on the part OF those not selected
for special intimacy by the officer in
question. Distinctions of rank in the
Army are solely in the interests OF
military discipline They imply no
social distinction; indeed, III a coun-
try like ours the advantage Of edu-
cation and culture very frequently
will be found in favor of the soldier,
and yet it is necessary that the sol
der should acquire by continuous
and unvarying practice the habit of
instant obedience to his superior.
This is as true of officers as it is Of
men.
In the emergency of battle, when
every condition tends to distract
mems attention and peril is on every
side, safety for command frequent
ly lies only in its organized and CO.
ordinated activity, and this can pro-
coed from one inspiration aIone-the
instant, unquestioning compliance by
all with the voice of authority. While
here and there instances undoubted-
ly occur of thoughtless and incon-
siderate conduct on the part of of
ficers and of unreasoning complaint
on the part of the men who have
failed to understand the just obliga-
tons of this disciplinary relationship,
am still persuaded that in the great
Army we now have in the field and in
training there is a growing realiza-
ton that it is both possible and use
full to be faithful to military dis
Eipline and at the same time to the
democratic ideals Of our country"
