MISS PINPAcK's CLEVER IDEA
New Scheme In Army Formation 10
Called to the Attention Of Experts
In Warfare.

The great Victory ball was a blaze
Of lights, uniforms and beautiful
women with beautiful faces.
"Miss Pinpack, l want you to
meet General Floop. General Floop,
Miss Pinpack, and vice versa
ooh, general. the very manp'
cried the gorgeous Miss Pinpack. 'I
have an idea that I want to submit
to the secretary of war, and I'd like
your opinion on it first"
"Charmed, Pm sure" said the
general CALAMITY.
swell, it's like this. There are
eight men in squad"
.Your intimate grasp Of army life
surprises me-" the general bowed.
"And the army is made up of just
squads and squads and squads and
squads"
'sYour military phraseology
amazes me-" said the general.
sWell, my idea is-why not make
squads out Of six men instead of
eight, and then the army would have
just as many squads and not nearly
so many men to pay"
"Squffxp choked the general, and
staggered off to lean his fevered
brow against the grateful GOODNESS of
a low-necked widows marble neck.

The colored one had come to
Camp Custer from West Virginia,
and had been issued his uniform. As
he passed down Harmonic road, he
admired himself muchly, CHANGING
down at his bright new tan shoes
and pulling up his 'peg-tops" every

the latest arrival was so engrossed
with his personal appearance that he
failed to notice him.

The dispatch yesterday which
stated that the Germans were again
preparing to become militaristic, in
spite of the provisions of the treaty
of peace, which they solemnly &C
cepted, brings to mind historic in
cident After Napoleon had subdued
Europe he decreed that the Prussians
should be allowed an army of but one
hundred thousand men. BY keeping
constantly under arms that number
of soldiers, by changing them from
regulars to reserves every three
months, and by continuous intensive
training, King Frederick was enabled
to have always ready an army of
several times the prescribed number.
Possibly the same game is to be tried
on the entente allies.

Someone is always taking the JOY
out of life," according to a current
saying. Now the Episcopalians pro-
pose to eliminate the VOW of obedi-
ence taken by the bride in the we'd
ding ceremony, and to blot out the
fiction subscribed to by the groom
that he endows his spouse with "all
his worldly goods" AS to the former,
it is quite true that a certain per-
centage of wives still follow the in
junction of St. Paul, to "obey" their
husbands. But it may be that the
percentage will decrease with the
revised ceremony. And as to the
groom endoWing the bride with all
his worldly goods-well, it sounds
most self-sacrifcing, and if the better
half Of the marriage partnership de-
rive any satisfaction from it, why not
let it remain? We are for WOmen's
rights.

To allay any possible anxiety on
the part of Republican friends of the
Daily Times, assurance is given thar
there is no inclination on the part
Of the temporary editor to use the
great influence and prestige of this
newspaper in starting a presidential
boom for William j. Bryan, Hokn
Smith 81 James Hamilton Lewis.
While we can not conscientiously ad-
vocate such Republican doctrines as
a high protect e tariff, we may be
permitted to discuss such problems
as are not of partisan character
as, for instance, the peace treaty, the
high cost of living and what DISPOSE
ton is to be made of Jim Wicker

The practice of some discharged
soldiers affecting. service stripes,
chevrons, cords, medals and other
unauthorized and meaningless in
sigma has greatly confused not only
the general public but also men in
the service.
The War Department has recently
warned that wearing 81 unauthor-
ICED decorations and accoutrements
may result in disciplinary action.
Ribbons are worn on the service
coat only by those entitled to wear
the corresponding medal or badge on
the full dress coat. No one entitled
to wear any medal or badge or rib
bon unless he has received the same
from the depot Quartermaster in
Washington, who issued them on
lists received, verified and approved
by the adjutant general of the army.
It is thus seen that the ribbon on the
service coat is merely an evidence OF
the fact that the wearer has duly
been awarded the corresponding
badge or medal.
The medals and badges authorized
by the War Department are as fol-
lows:
MEDAL OF HONOR
Ribbon-Blue with white stars.
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE CROSS
Ribbon-Blue with red band at
each end and a white stripe between
blue and red.
PHILIPPINES CONGRESSIONAL
MEDAL
Ribbon-Blue with stripe OF red,
white and blue at either end.
CIVIL WAR CAMPAIGN BADGE
Ribbon-Blue and gray.
INDIAN CAMPAIGN BADGE
Ribbon-Red with two black
stripes.
SPANISH CAMPAIGN BADGE
Ribbon-Blue and yellow.
PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN BADGE
Ribbon-Blue with two broad red
stripes.

REVISED u. S. CASUALTIES

Figures Of revised casualty conf
putation given out by the War De-
partment show the total American
casualties of the war to be 273,07S.
OF the aggregate 69,O55 are dead
from all causes; those killed in action
or dead from wounds numbering
46,476, an increase of SIP over the
earlier figures. The November COM
putation showed 1920 missing, but
this has been reduced to 1913, many
men having been located in hospitals,
with other attachments or recorded
among prisoners released from Ger

Origin of Sam Browne Belt

AS to the Sam Browne belt Col.
John C. Stiles writes: Now that
the dust has seemingly settled over
the contraption, we are led to the
conclusion that it is either the most
Internal machine ever invented, or
the greatest boon to suffering man
kind that has yet appeared. Our
Army has had a contrivance some
what similar, for in the '7Os the Ca
valry trooper had at least one sus-
pender from front to rear over his
shoulder for the purpose of holding
up the saber. The Sam Browne belt
was the invention of Gen. Sir Sam
Browne, VIC, G.C.B., K.C.S.I., Of
the British army, in the days Of the
Indian mutiny, and as the Britons
have been toting it around for nearly
three-Quarters OF q century it must
have some merit other than . tradi-
ton"

THE LUCKIEST MAN
IN THE GREAT WAR"

The luckiest not from the view
point Of the man who got his thrills
from n newspaper; not the luckiest.
even. in the opinion of the doughboy.
or the sailor who risked his neck ON
the seas or under them, but the luck
lest on the testimony Of the luckiest
bunch of fighters that ever faced the
Hun-the combat aviatOrS or the Al
lies. whether British, Italian or
American, which, one might admit,
is SOME LUCK.
The Luckiest Man Is Lieut.. Waldo
H. Heinrichs, late or the 95th Aero
Squadron, first of the American
squadrOns to take the air against the
Germans, who has recently arrived
from France after two months in q
prison hospital at Metz. He was in
the same fight in which Lieut.. Quen-
tin Roosevelt was killed, and his
own roommate, Lieut.. VIM. H. Tay-
Tor, son of w. H. Taylor. of the Hotel
Ansonia, this city, was killed the day
after Heinrichs was shot down.
Here are some Of the things that
happened to Heinrichs: -
Dodged splinters from propeller
which was torn completely on when
he was flying at full speed at height
of $500 feet, landing without
scratch.
Fell a mile in a plane from which
most of top wing had been stripped
/ in collision with Hun he was fighting.
but landed right side up.
Turned a double somersault in ma
chine which WIS blown into ditch as
he was making landing. Escaped
without a scratch.
Fell 5000 feet, wounded in ten
places, yet dived through some tele-
graph wires and made safe land
ing.
With arm broken in two places, ell
bow smashed, both jaws broken, two
bullets in hand, one in thigh, wound
! in right ankle, another in left heel.
fifteen ,eeth gone and right side OF
face torn out by explosive bullet, he
lived two months in a prison hospital
which had three surgeons and six
nurses to care for 600 men.
And last, but most important of
all, Heinrichs was found in that hos
pital in the nick of time. He had
! lived only on his nerve, the surgeons
agreed, and his morale was at its
| lowest ebb when Willard H. Will
Jams, the Y. M. C. A. secretary, who
was the first American to enter
Metz, appeared in the hospital, the
i first visible confirmation that the AL
lied forces we're close at hand.
"And let me say that he was a
welcome citizen" Heinrichs declares.
= "Sihce l have got back | have heard
things said about the Y that don't
correspond at all with my experience
with that organization. There was
Y outfit with our squadron most OF
the time, and it was one of the big
gest helps we had. You can try to
/ imagine how we all felt when that
~ man reached us at Metz-an ex-
ample. of enterprise il anything is.
And after l left the hospital l was
entertained by ~ men at Tours, at
the officers hotel. l have nothing
but good to say Of them"
The scars of ten wounds and the
Croix du Guerre, with q palm. are
some of the evidences Heinrichs
bears that he was in the war. He
enlisted as a private in the ground
school for aviators at Boston Tech,
and was one of the ten honor gradu-
ates He went overseas a year ago
last July, took the finishing courses at
Tours, Avord, Issoudon and CaZaux,
and ON February IA, went to the
Champagne front with the S5th
Squadron.
