Secretary Of War Guest at First
Meeting of Organization Of

Secretary of War Baker was the
guest of the District of Columbia
Chapter of the Society of American
Officers of the Great War. which held
Army and Navy Club. an address by
the Secretary being followed by mu-
steal program and buffet luncheon.
Mr.. Baker spoke Informally in
very happy vein. but touched on the
high purpose that carried Americans
into the great war. and the immortal
page the soldiers of the new world

THE good feature of this society Is
that you are not representing any one
section of the country. but the whole
United States" said the Secretary
was more of a unit on November IL.
1918. than ever before. and perhaps
than 1t has been since. But I am not
fearful of the future and believe a
solution will be found for all our
present day difficulties.
Things Tint Really Count.
we found during the war that
though separated by state lines there
was no real difference in our people.
and the old ideas that had interfered
with our freedom We're dissolved. The
things in mans character that real
ly count are what show in hours of
trial and danger. and for one thing
we learned that the man who speaks
broken language does not neces-
sarily have a broken loyalty.
This organization is made up of
men who took part in one of but three
or four purely disinterested move
ments recorded in history. America
wanted no territory, no one was try
ing to take our territory, we had no
economic doctrine we were trying to
impose on another people. Yet we did
intervene in the great war in the in

Men weary Of the interminable dis

high cost Of living. the filthy streets and
such like things can find relief in Rock
well Kent's journal Of quiet adventure
in Alaska. Mr.. Kent is a painter with
fondness for Blake. He went to
Alaska with his nine year old son in
September. 1918. found n vacant cabin
on Fox island near Seward and stayed
there till March Of the following year
He painted pictures in the intervals
when he was not chopping wood to keep
his cabin warm or was not going TO
Seward to get his mail or was not
wandering about the island. lie kept n
daily journal in which he wrote down
the state of the weather, the activities
of the little boy and the remarks of
Olsen, Swede, who was the only other
inhabitant of the island beside Kent
and his son. 1t is record of the mental
activities Of man of Imagination in
the wilderness undisturbed by what was
going on in the great world outside.
Reading it is as refreshing as a cold
bath on a summer day. The book is
illustrated by reproduction of Mr..
Kent's drawings. They are mystical
Gfter the manner of Blake, and deco
rative with the same peculiar quality
that makes Blake unique.
