There are hundreds of thousands OF
young men In this country who went
through the training camps ON this
side and who were bitterly disappsint-.
ed because they were not given an OPP
portunity TO serve abroad. IL will NOT

plenty of opportunities to see things
worth while.
Many Are Glad to Return to Europe.
In New York II Is said that Ameri-
can veterans of Chateau Thierry, the
Argonne and other battlefelds who
only a few weeks ago accepted their
army discharges are daily re-enlist-
Ing in considerable numbers. This
goes to show that good many of the
men who saw service abroad and per-
haps became homesick for America
are now homesick for the other side
and wish to go back.
One Of the interesting features Of
the re-enlisting process is the an
swers which some Of the men make to
questions which are put to them. 1t
is said that over 30 per cent Of the
men who want to go back into the
army say they desire service because
II gives them chance ut vocational
education.
A great number of the men who APP
piled for re-enlistment said, "the srmy

Washington probably will make the
most of the praise which has come to
the service from the lips of the men
who have served and who want to.
serve again.
Cummings and Hays Busy.
Homer s. Cummings, chairman OF
the Democratic national committee,
and VIII II. Hayes, chairman of the
Republican national committee, have
their work cut out for them along
campaigning lines for the next year
, plus the odd months which will bring
them up to national convention time.
The first work OF these two unques-
tionably amiable gentlemen Is one OF
harmonizing. Mr.. Hays has been In
Washington on harmonizing errand
: quite recently, and Mr.. Cummings
also Is bending his efforts along par
allel line. 1t Is needless to say that
Mr.. Hays Is not trying to bring about
t harmony within the Democratic ranks
n nor is Mr.. Cummings trying to do Il
8 like work for the Republicans.
e Each one Of these chairmen prob
t. ably hopes in his heart that the efforts
y of the other to bring harmony will be
n dismal failure, and this hope, o.
n course, is not felt in mere meannes
