selection in promotions 80 that those
officers who reached the grade Of
lieutenant colonel and of najor>wtih
past records of superior achievement,
can be pushed ahead at an accelerated
rate for valuable service in the next

The secretary also recommended

from the seniority list"

peoples, are subject to the law which
punlshes those nations vino fail to

who fail to strive for peace.
We are right to feel confident in
our strength. But we shall never de-

through.the-study OF our past faults

The world war, which caused so many
crowned heads to toppic, never touched
Alfonso. he managed TO keep Spain
strictly neutral and without losing his per-
sonal popularity The whole of Europe
is still his playground. He is welcome in
Paris, in London, in Berlin or in Buda-
pest.
Alfonso is handsome in a way, despite
his Bourbon chin--surprlsingl like some
of the famous Nelasquez paintings of his
ancestors. He has managed, too, despite
high living, to keep moderately slender
tigure--and he is passlonately fond Of
dancing,
Not only expert in the tango and other
dances of Latin origin, he is also a master
of the latest American steps, including
the foXtrot and "shimmy,' And he is as
fond of jazz as any Harvard freshman.
The latter part Of the Summer saw
King Alfonso at Deauvillo, gayeSt of the
French seaside resorts, crowded with rich
and beautiful women from every corner
of the western world.
The King was an ardent patron of the
fashionable dancing pavilons and ball
rooms He would enter, unostentatiously,
m simple and conventional evening
clothes, accompanied perhaps only by a
young military aide or a gentleman-in-
waiting. For a little while he would
Watch the dancers. Presently his eye
would single out one more graceful or
more beautiful than the rest, A few
moments later the gentleman-in-waiti
would approach her with a profound bow
and say,
His Majesty, the King of Spain, re-
quests the honor of a dance with you,
madamoiselle."
The day has long since passed when a
royal request is equivalent to a command
