"MR. PICkwICK, RIDES AGAIN

''NuIAs flSn "1C hlDES AGAIN From the London Times.
 MT. Piokwick was resuscitated the other day in the person of Bransby Williams, and journeyed by coach and four through many of his old haunts in London. He was accompanied by the members of his celebrated club and others of his contem- poraries impersonated by we'll known performers.
 The drive was arranged by the modern Pickwick club, which will give perform ance at the Empire theater in aid of the Eccentric Club Rest Home for Soldiers.
 From the Eccentric Club house the coach, driven by Horace Smith as the Hon. Samuel Slumkey. proceeded by way of Piccadilly, Haymarket, Strand, Fleet street and Ludgate hill to the bank, thence into King William street. and over London Bridge to the renowned old coach- ing inn known as the George" in the Borough. Here halt was made for re- freshment, and the scene in the yard, with the background of the old world hostelry immortalized by Dickens as the White
 Hart" in 'Pickwick Papers''-was very picturesque.
 Bransby Williams, in a new blue sur tout with brass buttons. wore in his cra- vat the actual pin which had belonged to MT. Sainsbury Cthe original MT. Pick ! wick") lent by Eugene Corri. Other characters represented were MT. Wrinkle Geon Zeitlin), Mr. Tupman l Charles Flinn), MT. Snodgrass (Frederick Arthur, and MT. Trundle Geonard Sal 1 isbury).
 l The return drive was by the way of the Elephant and Castle, St. Georges Road Westminster Bridge, Whitehall and Pal Mall. Arrived back at the club the party sat down to a Pickwickian luncheon.

It was funny the way Le Grand Wilson got my number at the last Ro- tary lunch,' said Herman Beck. He was making a corking good after din- ner speech, and was telling some jokes with real pep in them Just as he was concluding his first one, he re- marked that he was sure if Herman Beck was present he had already whis- pered to his neighbors at table that he had heard it 40 years ago when he was what I had done, and the boys around me had good laugh at my expense 1t was a fact, but somehow, coming as it did so pat. it got my goat"

CONGRESS SEES

Especial TO The star by y. r. ~
wASHISGTOS. Feb. 8. - How

reorganizcd under federal or state
control,
These arc among the srca, --riny
problems which face the national
legislature.
The return Of the boys from France
WIN open up for congress ard for
the war department the problem Of
re-creating the regular army and thu
National Guard
Tho regular army al present has
an authorized strength OF s7a.eoo
men. Expsrations OF enli.tmcnts
probably viii leave only about 10000
men. a. n large number 81 the yoiun-
teer cniistmen.s were for the period
Of the war only. and these men Will
have TO be released within four
months OF the conclusion Of peace.
Cancel Draft Army
Tho draft army. OF course. goes out
Of existence with the conclusion OF
peace. And the National Guard went
out Of existence when " was drafted
into the federal service.
Section OF the national defense
act OF June .. 1916. says the National
Guardsrnrn drafted into the regular
army shall stand discharged from
the militia which means that the
National Guard OF every state In the
Union will have 10 b. reorEanixed.
Some Of the states probably win con-
test this view. on the ground that
the federal government has no right
TO terminate the contract between
the state and its citizens who entered
the guard.
At any rate IL brings the question
up for decision. and " also opens the
matter OF rcorganizing the regular
army. This. in turn, suggests the
question OF tho size OF our standing
army In peace times and the whole
problem Of universal military service.
sornc army officers are In favor OF
solving tho whole problem By thu
creation OF a federal guard which
will include both the regular army
and the National Guard. thus pre-
serving the latter organization and
at the same time offering a nucleus
about which the graduates Of the
universal military training schools
could cluster.
