LET'S COLLECT
By LIEUT.. EUGENE GREENHUT

They have learned how to collect
They not only have the goods and can
prove it-but they make the sale and
collect.
How many men do you know; nice.
clever. outstanding. clean-cut fellows.
who are always starting who
never finish.
They have the merchandise; they
can present their story we'll. But
somehow they don't collect. Are you
one Of them!
Wake mp, boy; of course you have
it in you! But hoy are they to know
unless you show? No, telling other
folks what q great guy you are, won
do. Produce and you'll collect.
Don't show on where 1t will do you
no more good than fiatter your vanity
. bit. Don't show your greatness
over the whole barracks. They prob
ably can't appreciate your greatness
IL it is expressed in words only.
Bat in this little old army Of ours,
the sky's the limit for the man who
can produce and collect. All you have
to do is offer goods up for specifca-
ton and they'll fight to buy. And Of
course, they'll pay.
But they are the judges Of value,
not you, for they are the purchasers
and the payers. So they are the ones
to BE- pleased.
Think well OF your ability, Of
course. But remember that the goods
must conform to their specifications.
Get it? Alright, then
Let's go.
Trench and camp. ([Admiral, Md.) 1917-1919, 1919-06-12

Why Is It that you are what you
are? Not only what you are today
or win be tomorrow or next week or
next month. Nor what you were last
year? But why are you not diner-
emit? Why are your ambitions not
satisfied? Why is it you are not
sought after 40 Is this one or that
one? why have you not reached the
top? why have you not realized your
every desire?
Do you know why?
That Man whom you envied some
time ago because he had Q Rolls
Royce and was q millionaire, those
men whom you've met and served and
worked for, the officers you salute a.
you pass them by-how do they diff
fer from you?
Do all these people possess some
thing You do not? Is there some mys-
FERROUS force operating for them and
not for you?
No! Men have the same number
of eyes, ears, arms, legs. Men each
have ONE body, one head, one mouth.
You have brains. You have intel
gence. Well? Why are situations
not reversed? What's that? Hard
luck? Lack of opportunity? No pull?
No, air, don't you believe 1t. Not
by . long shot. Listen. let me tell
you something.

States and Cities May
Buy Surplus War Stocks

States and municipalities in the
market for food and clothing for their
public institutions, machinery for
their manual training schools and
penal institutions, or any OF the thou
sand and one other commodities
which the United States acquired in
quantity to equip and establish it's
great Army, viii henceforth be per-
.mitted to make such purchases from
the War Department.
The Act Of Julya9, 1918, by which
disposition of the surplus war mate
rial was authorized. while expressly
authorizing sales to any foreign state
or government associated in the war
with the United States, omitted ref
erence to the states that constitute
the Union or their municipalities.
The Director of Sales of the War De-
partment, realizing that state govern
ments and municipalities might be
developed into customers for q con-
siderable part of the nearly $780,
10000 worth of supplies which he
must dispose of, sought an intefpre-
tation Of the act.
It has been decided by the Acting
Judge Advocate General that the

states and municipalities. Thereforp,
