N THE month of cool October, Winnie thought
Il the trees looked sober. Nothing, so far, had
she seen, but the summers dusty green
whats the matter?" so she queried care you
all of color wearied?' "No, indeed,' replied an
Oak. Somewhat bitterly he spoke "Color bright
is to our liking, but the Painter Gnomes are strk-
ing, saying they will not be bossed by that tyrant
old Jack Frost! They walking deep in cav

started off and soon Winnie heard a lovely Groom.
The trees all stood still as death, the little
oreezes held their breath, until rugs of purple
aster, Indian Summer hurried faster Her ewes
were blue as autumn haze. her hair was yellow as
the MAIZE Her round cheeks gowed with apple
red and wreaths of grapes were on her head.
Then suddenly Jack Frost appeared, with lev
whiskers, hoary beard His manner was so verv
freezing that even Winnie felt like sneezing, His
daughter cried, Dad, don't be chilly It makes
you look extremely silly' He said. "You mustn't
blame your dad. It's horrid Gnomes who make
me mad. Then Indian Summer cried, "Oh,

WEST POINT TRAINING
SYSTEM JUSTIFIED IN
FRANCE, SAYS GENERAL

Washington, Nov 2O.-The army
system of military training adopted
years ago ana now used at West Point
was fully justified by experience in
the world war, Maj Gen. John l..
Chamberlain, inspector-general, declar-
ed today in his annual report. He
pointed out that ultimately it was found
necessary in France to abandon the
defensive tauics" recommended by
foreign experts and revert to the ag.
gressive American system"
1T is safe to say that no nation ever
before had available such superb per.
connel from which to organize an
army the report continued. Dur
ing the first six months of the train
ing period there was a great shortage
Of clothing and equipment, but this
condition was to large extent yeme-
died by the beginning OF the second
year Of the war. At the close of the
war our arms and equipment were un
doubtedly superior to that in use by
any of the foreign armies
General Chamberlain criticised Sc
yerely the general disregard by Off
GERS and men Of uniform regulations,
called attention to the unsatisfactory
manner in which soldiers baggage was
handled but strongly recommended
that in the future activities of chari.
table societies in connection with the
military establishment be conducted
and controlled by the government.
Disciplinary conditions in the army
generally were satisfactory, General
Chamberlain said, adding that the al.
legged mutny of company |, 329th in
fantry t'Serbian eXpedition) was shown
not to be so serious as first reported
and could undoubtedly have been pre-
vented by company commander of
force and judgment.
Adoption of q rolling collar blouse
along the lines of the British coat FOR
the army, with a collar insignia of
cloth instead of metal, and of new
trench cap with visor and ear flaps,
was recommended and creation of per
offices of chiefs of cavalry. field
artillery and infantry again was urged,
