So the plot was Matched and Winnie
Jones introduced to Steye's Aunt Sarah,
the guardian Of the family treasury, as
Mrs. Stephen Perkins
So far so good. In fact, It was i'm
mense, especially in view of the fact
that Aunt Sarah took a great liking to
Winnie, and dragged her and her ''hus-
band" off to a cottage in the. country.
OF course, Percy Jones had to trail along;
he wasn't going to let his bride out of
his sight If he could help 1t.
Then, to make matters more interest
ing, it develops that living right next
door was Major Whitman and his daugh-
ter, Ruth, the latter being the youns
lady that Steve is very much in lore with,
even to the point of violence And then
Aunt Sarah thinks she suspects an "af-
fair" between Percy Jones and Winnie
and between Steve and Ruth. Many
complications follow, developing many

outbreak of hostilities in 1914 On this
subject General Pershlng has very de1n-
tie ideas. He saw in 1917 how the War
Department general stan was disrupted
when it become necessary to take the
cream Of officer talent from that organi-
ration in order to form a STAFF for over
seas duty. He is determined that such
situation shall not be brought about
again if he can prevent it.
While the facilities at hand viii per-
NIT Of only skeleton organization, Gen
eral Pershing intends to build up that
skeleton organization in such way that
it will be adequate to take the field In
time of crisis and Immediately start
functioning as the directing head Of tile
American wartime armies. There would,
Of course need 10 be many additions or
personnel TO pat the organization on
war footing, but under General Pershing's
plan there would be a trained man for
every really vital post who would not
only know how 10 run his Job but would
also be ready to break In others as his
assistants when the proper time came.
The present general stan win have
charge Of all routine matters o. ad-
ministration in the War Department: dur
ing peace time That organization would
not be interfered with by the war time
machine. but IN time Of war would fun

armies IN the field.
General Pershing also has positive no
lions as to the part the civilian soldier
should play In our scheme OF national
defense As q West Point graduate and
regular Army man. the General APP
preciates the value OF the professional
soldier as q nucleus upon which 10 build
an Army. He labors under no Illusions,
however. as to the comparative impor-
lance Of the roles played by professional
soldiers and civilian soldiers during the
World War. He believes the United
States has in her youthful male popula-
ton the greatest military material In the
world. and he saw much OF it prove It's
worth on the battlehelds Of France

incidentally. General Pershing is ex
pected TO make a few changes In the
general staff While the nature OF these
changes has not been divulged officially
as yet, 1t is understood that they viii
be in the direction OF decentralization
The General intends that there shah be
no ground in the future for the criticism
that the general staff is usurping func-
tions Of War Department bureaus
But the Pershlng innovation, which
is awaited with greatest expectancy,
especially by officers who served over
seas is the suggested modification Of
the Uniform regulations to include the
sam Brown belt. The question OF the
Sam Brown belt first came up when the
American forces went overseas and the

mended by a board Of general officers
for use In the United States, but the
proposal was defeated by the opposition

Being a fun general General Pershing
has the right 10 prescribe his own uni
form, and IL Is noticeable fact
that since It's return to America
he has always worn the sam Brown belt,
regardless Of the fact that other officers
may not wear 1t in the United States.
II is expected that just as soon as he

mend to Secretary Weeks that the sam
Brown belt be adopted as part Of the
American uniform. General Haroord,
