The Return of the Sword.

The British army order requiring all
"field marshals, generals and colon
els, when dismounted," to wear the
sword on all ceremonial parades and
at official ceremonies, has provided
material for the humorists. The
sword, having been superseded by 9th.
er weapons for those who actually
come In contact with the enemy, and
being therefore dOubly useless to on.
GERS of exalted rank who must remain
at considerable distance from the
hand-tO-hand engagements. had been
discarded during the war. But now
1t returns with all its faded glory for
times of peace and its formidable
"clank" will once more accompany its
wearer's- martial stride. However In.
dicrous this may seem, it is apparent
ly to some extent unavoidable owing
to the forbidding ugliness of modern
engines of war-bombs, trench peri.
scopes, portable machine guns and
the like, which are obviously less de.
sirable ms emblems of authority than
the graceful lines of the sword, the
scimitar and the halberd Of Other
times.
