DENOTED HEROES

are back in the states now, and their commands have disappeared like snow in the spring. The duties of those days of war are gone for them forever. They are back to the humdrum days of 1914 with their assignments of post duty, staff duty, and attendance at service schools
 There is one considerable group of these men who commanded troops in France and who were inclined to re- gard themselves as entitled to special consideration, which found itself sit ting high and dry as long ago as last fall. The brigadier generals of this group were reduced to majors and the major generals to colonels and were ordered to report to the army war col lege.
 Arriving in Washington, these men looked about them and found that there were certain other officers of high rank holding staff jobs or bureau jobs, some of them men who had not been overseas at all. but who were still enjoying their wartime rank and the increased pay that appertains thereto Some of these officers accepted the situation philosophically. as becomes one who consecrates himself to a ca reer in the army, but others consci- entiously objected. believed themselves outraged. It is said of one such of ficer that he tore the decorations from his heaving chest without so much as stopping to unclasp them. thereby doing much damage to the uniform.
 The apparent injustice in this sit uation. however, was capable of being explained away: The assignment under which an officer commanded troops no longer existed when his ganization was disbanded. There was no longer any pretext under which he might retain his wartime rank. The same was not true of certain bureau and staff assignments. The men in the purchase. storage and traffic di vision of the general staff, for in stance, had to clean up the whole mat ter of disposing of war materials and settling war bills. The construction division had scores of great enter pr:Ses under way and the problem of what to do with them. Military InteI- ligence was still busy with muliing over world problems such as the men

ace of the reds, and was far from the pre-war status. There were officers in these services whose tasks were not completed as were those of the men who had commanded troops in the field.
 The men who had been overseas. who had done the fighting, were not always charitable to those who had stayed at home. Some of them were inclined to View that failure to get overseas service indicated lack of ability. There was a tendency to cast aspersions on the desk soldiers of the army of the potomac. And here was the desk soldier holding war rank after the fighting soldier had been reduced.
 This man who stayed at home will argue that it was over here that the war was won, that here the army was organized and trained, here the task of production was mastered, here the munitions were made, here the prob lem of transporting materials and troops were mastered It was sim pie matter he holds, to fight troops with all these details provided. He will cite many examples of men who failed over here being sent to Europe that their tasks might be placed in competent hands. There was one case of the organization of the different branches of one of the complicated
 
 of whom was chief of one of these branches. One had genius for organ. ization. The other had not. The com petent man got his service working like a clock The incompetent man produced only a tangle. The incom- potent major was sent overseas and the officer who had succeeded with his service was kept at home and transferred to the work of the man who had failed. He burned midnight oil to the end of the war in getting the machine to working properly.
 So the war over the question of who won the war goes merrily on.
 The whole question of rank is but temporary, for all officers with the exception of the few who have been especially promoted go back to their pre-war. status on June 30, next.
 The present law provides for. the maintenance of the 1S,000 officers. designations have reduced that staff to 17.000. Of this r ,000, between nine and ten thousand are regular army men. Between seven and eight thou sand are officers who came into the service for the emergency.
 These officers are still holding their emergency ranks. They were all to have been dropped the first of last November but it was found that they were the experts, the detail men, in much of that complicated organization which had grown up so rapidly. It would virtually scrap many of the de- tail organizations to discharge these men. So they have been retained at their emergency ranks. Most of them are men who earn much more than their army pay outside There was a plan for a blanket reduction of all such officers, but the final decision was that it was unnecessary. These experts are being discharged as rapid 1y as their services can be dispensed with, and unless there is some legisla- tion providing for their retention all will go on June 30.

By Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C.-There is still war in the War Department. He roes are no longer falling in battle. but they are falling in rank, and many of them seem to find their fall more painful than the casualties of con- flict. Many man who took bullet in his leg with equanimity seems in- clined to howl like the traditional wolf when he is hit in the dignity. A man who has his head taken off by a German shell. probably suffers noth- ing, but many whose heads are taken off by the Secretary of War suffer acutely and tell all of their friends about it.
 Of course this business of demoting the men who fought their country's battles is essentially a sad one- It should not be treated facetiously. The shrinking of a brigadier general into a major is not at all humorous to the individual who does the shrinking, es- pecially since his pay shrinkS at the same time. But we cannot go on sup porting a large corps of generals in time of peace. This demotion is bound to take place.
 Especially delicate is the issue of rank among the seventeen thousand officers who remain in the service, nearly every one of whom must be reduced Nearly every one may be depended upon to look upon his reduc- ton as an injustice, to look about for other individuals who have suffered less in getting back to pre-war status than has he and to sizzle with heat when he finds them. With a task so complicated and with the circum- stances under which officers are as- signed so different, it is impossible to make the reductions equal and stimuli taneous, and so most officers are like ly to find cases that lead them to see- ing crimson. Thus it develops that there is much unrest in the war de- partment.
 There are the men who were over seas for instance. the officers of the regular army who commanded troops and who deported themselves with galantry and credit. There are many of them who had the war time rank Of major general. or of brigadier gen eral There are men who commanded divisions or even army, corps. Thev

THE THREE PLANKS

The St Louis conference of the com mittee of IS resulted in the adoption or this platform:
 1. Public ownership Of transporra- tion. including stockyards. large abat- toirs, grain elevators, terminal ware houses. pipe lines and tanks. Public ownership of the principal natural re- sources, such as coal, oil, natural sas, mineral deposits. large water powers and large commercial lumber tracts
 ?. No land Gncluding natural re- sources) and no patents be held out of use for speculation 70 ald monopoly. We favor taxes to force idle land into use.
 3. Equal economic. political and legal rights for all. irrespective of seE or color. The immediate and absolute restoration of free speech. free press. peaceable assembly, and all civil rights guaranteed by the constitution. We demand the abolition of injunctions in labor cases. We indorse the effort cf labor to organize and bargain collec- lively through representatives of ils own choosing.
 Quite simple. and to the point isn't it? Not much beating around the bush no straddling such as political con ferences and conventions are so given to.
 The platform is short. It can be read and studied by every American. and 1t should be. if we are to know what our liberal- minded fellow citizens would have us do.

Where All Was Bare a Short
Time Ago.

Travellers through the Great
American desert find great enjoy
ment and added attraction when they
come across focks Of wild horses. As
the horses notice the motorist they
pause for a moment, with heads up,
names unkempt, and tails blowing in
the wind, and then tear off to the
north, with the cattle, less wild, that
are grazing in the desert, tagging be-
hind them.
1t is said that chat is the free life
of the horse. He is racing off not
because he is afraid, but because he
is free While the motorist enjoys
the desert, and has these horses for
an added attraction, there are indi-
cations that the wild wanderers will
soon give way before civilization. AL
ready there are the first indications
that this desert will some day bud
and blossom as the rose. Even at
Blue Eagle, where there is a single
hut made out Of old cans and where
gasoline is IS cents a gallon, there is
windmill that is reclaiming a>plot
Of excellent soil. Each Of the dozen
houses has its well, its spring, or its
strcamlet trickling from the treeless
ravine in the mountain behind it.

DROWNED RYE COFFEE"

The high price of coffee at the
present time has caused many people
in the United States, especially in
the rural districts, to adopt substi-
tute that was popular during the
Civil war. 1t is that Of using
Drowned rye for the beverage that
cheers but does not inebriate." The
grains of rye are roasted to a light
brown color, ground and then used
in the same way as coffee. Those who
have used the rye say that it makes
g palatable drink at only fraction
Of the cost of coffee.
