not far from the general headquar-
ters at Chaumont. This hospital, the
nurses said, handled 1,70U infectious
cases.
All our boys acted alike said Miss
Isabel Rooney. "They were perfect
men. In the operating rooms and at
bedsides in the hospitals of France

In the excitement of dancing before

for the first time in her life Mrs. Doll,
the midget wonder of the circus, solfar
forgot herself at the Greenhut Base
Hospital yesterday afternoon as to get
lost. Immediately d great hue and crv
was raised. Mr.. Doll, from the height

the mate with whom he has never quar-
clled The soldiers took it to heart no
less than the Liliputian husband. Even
the men who were wheeled around
hunted vainly underneath their wheel
chairs in the hope Of finding the elusive
little lady.
"She's so tiny. We'll never find her
Perhaps some one took her upstairs to
the wards" Uemoaned Mr.. Doll from
his eyrie. And then with a whoop of
JOY he spied her. She was serenity es-
tablished behind the piano, and as she
plrouetted out to join the rest of her
family she exclaimed:

with wounded men, many of whom had

background instead of the customary

Of it in their hearts. laughed and
cheered and made merry with the gay
world of circusdom just like rrespons-

1t was visitors day and the wards
were too crowded to allow the giant,
the midgets, tho clowns, the acrobats,
the cowboys and all the other interest
ing people to wander through the hos
pital as they would like to have done.
But they mingled freely with the sol
diers who were able to walk or wheel
themselves around in bath chairs, and
wherever the midgets went they had an
admirng khaki rctinue.
Not All Bashful

After their performance at the hos

General Organs own status while

command of the guard. He is acting
quite Independently, but has reopened
the old division Offices in the Munici
pal Building. 1t has been stated on
the authority of Governor Smith that
he can return to the command if he
desires. The condition of his imme-
diate return is that he serve without
pay until July l, when state funds
will be available
One thing seems certain at this time
military men assert, and that is that
there will be no camp tours for the
state forces unless the reorganization
plans are under way
The present state guard is expected
to be merged into the National Guard
Division. Many of the junior officers
are eager to retain their places.
One plan is to create a supplemental
state force, to be known as the National
Guard reserve. This would give an
opportunity to all the men now SER
wing with purely state forces to con-
tinue their affiliations.
Theoretically, every man of militia
age-between eighteen and forty five,
inclusive-is a member of the reserve
militia. But the reserve, until the
