CAPT. r. c. BOND IN GERMANY
Writes to Brother, Baxter Bond, Of
Work In Army of Occupation.

Captain Raymont c. Bond, of tn,
39th U. S. Infantry. former star tracl
man University team, is now located
in Grienersburg, Germany, in the
American Army of Occupation. In q
letter to his brother. Baxter B. Bond
president of the student body here he
says in part:
I'm order that you may know ap-
prOXimately where / am, | will give
you the names of the larger nearby
towns; Cochem is seven kilometers to
the southeast; COblenz eight kilome-
ters to the northwest. This is where
We will likely be installed for the win
ter. Part of the 39th is here doing
guard. We are the only company in
this town so | am the monarch, so to
speak, only when a car drives up with
star or two on the front.
This has been different kind of a
war. namely that of dressing up and
appearing like a soldier in peace
! times. This has been very hard un-
der the adverse conditions of march
ing in rain and mud
AN old German lady told one of
the men that the sun would never
shine on the American Army in Ger
many. Its nearer true than thought
when | first heard the statement.
Since this town is to be our home
I haN
days in trying to get fixed cOmforta-
bly, | secured a school room for a
kitchen, mess hall. place of storage
and recreation room and secured an
Edison for the reading room.
"Later-NOw | have received an or
der from the division headquarters to
the effect that no school houses are
to be used by American troOps-move.'
Have bath house made out of stoves,
boilers and wash tubs taken from the
people; however they give up what
they have very readily and pleasantly.
The people in this section we have
passed through have suffered very
little from the war OF course there
are many things we know nothing of,
but they seem to have plenty of food
much more than the French. We are
able to requisitiOn a certain amount
of our forage. | have seen very few
horses. They lost very heavily in the
war. When you go to Burgomaster
and tell him that you want ton of
hay and thousand pounds of oats or
so. he forthwith goes out, rings his
bell and at the assembly of the citi-
zens he announces that each person |
will deliver so much hay and oats at |
such and such a place at a certain |
time. Each person furnishes a pro-
pOrtiOnal share. We have found this |
to be the case in every town We have
been in so far"

fering Thracians, Gauls and Germans
The armies of the government me,
with defeat after defeat at their hands
and for time it looked as though the
tables of Rome were being turned in
a manner vastly distaste:ul to the
ruling classes. But as is true in most
rapidly rising militant movements
there was dissension in the ranks OF
the victorious slaves and they divided
in two.
Much against the wishes of Sparta
Gus, the soldiers, drunk with power,
pillaged the country in a manner much
worse than their aforetime oppressOrs
had done.
In the end, of course. the superior
forces of the organized Roman armies
defeated the rebels and made a horri-
bic example of them by crucifying
5000 rebel soldiers on the Appian
Way. Spartacus died like a true SOL
dier. with his sword in his hand.

"The Shielding Wing"

The shielding wing is the compile
tion and protection of a man by the
love of his mate
Archer and American war cores
pOndent, sickened by the sight of war
starts out unwittingly in quest of this
He travels from Vienna across Asia
to Peking, meeting with numerous ex-
periences, always searching yet not
realizing that he is, until he finds his
shielding wing in Nayan Quiston, the
sister of a heaven-made friend he
found on his journey.
His meeting with Nayan results in
his interest and devotion to the big
cause" in China, and complicating cir
cumstances arise from secret service
agencies and spies.
The story is quick in developments
and filled with the fearless courage,
will and daring of the disciples of the
new age.
The simple fervor of the Russian
peasants, and the fixity of purposeful-
ness of the Orientals is viyidly por-
trayed. The mysticism and intensity
of emotions add a force to the style
of the author

THE NEW BOOKS
@The Great Change"

This is not radical book 1t is
not conservative 1t resulted from
an honest attempt to find out what the
war was doing to us. That it would
bring changes in every phase of hui
man life thereafter was obvious. The
extent of those changes l could not
guess. | doubted if anyone could
guess. Besides, | didn't want any
bodys guess; | wanted facts
In the first, few crisp sentences of
his introduction to The Great
Change" Charles W. Wood gives a
clear insight into the style and con-
tent of his book, which is made up
largely of interviews with big men of
today. Bernard NJ. Baruch, Charles NJ.
Schwab, Charles P Steinmetz. Frank
P. Walsh; these are some of the men
who are making America what she is
and who give us a glimpse of the
process through these pages.
An expert interviewer for the New
York World, Mr.. Wood lets these men
tell us their beliefs and observations
in their own words LAS for my per-
sonal conclusions" he says. 81 trust
that they will not obtrude themselves
That Columbus discovered America is
a fact; that he thought he was dis
covering India is immaterial"
With one or two exceptions. these
men refuse to make any forecasts,
they merely chronicle from an ex-
pert's standpoint the changes that
have been wrought in American in
dustrial life and government by the
war.
Government by facts, is perhaps the
keynOtes. America has had to meet
the demands of supporting an army
