elor needs only fifteen minutes notice to
travel to China or elsewhere.
But enough OF the bachelors-we don't
count anyhow.
Married officers and their families, of
course have homes very much as civilian
families have the size of these and their
comfort depending largely upon the rank
of the officer. The lieutenants who are
married are the boys who have a hard time
of it, according to the married lieutenants
themselves for usually just about the time
they get their quarters fixed up beauti-
fully along comes an order and they move
and some one else moves in to the little
nest on which he has worked for months
Mdis cest la 0uerre.
But the enlisted married men are the
ones who really benefit by matrimony in
the army. AS has been said, the>soldier
is a marrying man. Give him the moon
light give him girl and leave the rest to
him.
His amiable weakness in this respect is
known to the girls near posts and camps
in the United States. The mademoiseles
of la belle France have heard his whis-
pered words beneath the stars The red
checked maidens OF Luxembourg and Bel
gium have yielded to his opportunities
The frauleins of Germany have come to
know him as an honorable lover with seri-
Gus intentions and maids of Merrie Eng
land in many cases have joined him in
an alliance which brought them to the
posts and camps of the little old regular
army-an army which guards its own.
Nothing which the army can give is too
good for the soldier and his bride. In no
other army in the world is there so large
a proportion of married men, and when the
enlisted soldier marries he becomes at
once entitled to privileges of high order
Somewhere in some blue book or another
is the ghost of a regulation now long de-
ceased which says that a soldier must
ask permission of his commanding officer
before he marries This is usually hon.
ored more by the breach than by the OBJ
servance, for what can be done when the
American soldier trustfully appears in the
orderly room with the announcement that
he has gone and done it,? There is only
one thing to be done-take care of them;
and harassed commanding officers at once
get to work to assign quarters to the new

Lived Better as Private's Wife
Than as Bankers Daughter

A private soldier in the army on the
Rhine married a distant relative of the
House OF Hohenzollern. The father of the
bride was the president of bank in
sizable German city. II is an amazing
fact that the wife of this private in the
American army lived like princess, far
better than she had lived as the daughter
of bank president. With the provisions
made by the army for its married person
mel, with the additional pay for foreign
service and with the exceedingly favorable
exchange rate, the private and his wife
were most afIluent

stations. Then II would not have been so

II is in army camps and stations, mostly
located in the cantonments built by 10 per

tions prevail which we're described by
Gen. Harbord recently as quarters unfit
to house either convicts or lunatics."

When the enlisted soldier brings wife
home from abroad she is treated exactly
as though she were the wife of an officer.
She is given first class passage to this
country. The benedict however trav-
els according to his rank If he is pri-
vate he travels with the men Of the COM
pany in the quarters assigned the organi-

GER, he is given quarters which usually are
compatible to his grade.
But the bride-there Is no rank for
women in this mans army-gets the best
that the army can offer her.
If the husband is a noncommissioned of
ficer he is given quarters which usually
are somewhat better than those given to a
lieutenant. In permanent posts these con-
sist of little bungalows or apartments
which any woman would find cute" If he
is a private he is given smaller quarters,
but usually draws about two rooms, bath
and all modern arrangements.
In addition to his quarters the married
enlisted man is given what is called COM
mutation rations, as he eats at home, In
other words, he is given the cash value of
his ration and is also permitted to buy
from army stores on credit at cost price.

into mourning, for nowhere in the world
is there stronger feeling of comrade-
ship than in the regular army.
This feeling of comradeship, this mutual
respect OF officer and man, is the founda-
tion OF discipline When men are long in
the same organization this spirit breeds a
real affection. To those who think the
army hard boiled it should come as a pleas.

usual thing for officers and men who have

hands and chat a bit on meeting once

r T was not SO long ago that every one
was interested sentimentally or other
wise in the arrival in America Of
bevies of pretty war brides.
1t was admitted, of course, that it was
all very romantic the inclination> of the
soldier left on foreign duty to fall in love
with the attractive-and near at hand
German and French girls, but it was ad-
mitted, too, that it was very imprudent of
the lovelorn young soldier boys to really
get married This applied, of course most
ly to the soldiers of the regular army or
those who had reenlisted and who intended
to remain in the service.
What in the world" the question was,
"can private soldier do with a wife, espe-
cially young wife, very apt to chafe under
army discipline and fret about her hus-
bands having to take orders from so many
superiors?"
Really, such a bride hardly could call her
home life her own; there could be no sit
ting for a chat over breakfast; no linger-

So there is a great deal of wonder just
now as to how it's all worked out. What
has become of the war brides and their sol
dier heroes? And how surprising it seems
that privates in the army really can keep
their wives in quite the same luxury al.

GERS! It's all come about as one of the
peculiarities of the new army
Divorces are so rare as to be almost un-
heard Of In period of two years the
writer has heard of only one.
The married officers have quarters of
their own set apart. The nature of the
officers quarters is strictly dependent
upon the post, camp or station. At Gov
ernors Island and other old and long es-
tablished army posts the officers quarters
are very comfortable. They are somewhat
crowded at Governors Island now. At the
Fresidio in San Francisco, and at Fort
Sam Houston, in San Antonio, much the
same comfortable conditions prevail
But that Is rather generally known-or
guessed 1t is not SO well known that the
enlisted married men are extraordinarily
well cared for, that their families are
housed and their children educated. 1t Is
true that in the old posts the married non
commissioned officer is as well or better
cared for than the married junior officers
lieutenants.

of which usually show tendencies of open
ing to the four winds of heaven.
But just such shacks as these give the
women of the army an opportunity to show
their mettle 1t is wonderful to see just
what their clever hands can do toward
making comfortable homes of places which
at first appear to be almost godforsaken
in their barrenness. A touch of enamel
and of paint and rough boards become
most any soil will grow luxuriantly If
tended with care.

Making Comfortable Quarters
Appeals to Army Women

Making comfortable quarters out of
places of discomfort is the job which falls
to the army woman. And nobly she per-
forms it, as take the testimony of bach
elor who has often looked upon her work
from the windows of the bachelor quar-
ters, in which clothing, guns, pistols and
other equipment showed that it was the
abode of man, mere man with no refining
influences to civilize him.
Indeed, SO much is ours marrying army
that the bachelor officer and soldier is far
less comfortable than his married brother
The theory seems to be bachelors can live
of course, is exactly rights but once in a
while 1t does come with just wee bit of
strain to look over the married quarters,
hear the sound of pianos and of song and
then turn wearily back and give the pro-
sale travelling phonograph (your only mu-
steal equipment), the once over and then
wistfully go off somewhere for rest and
recreation.
In only one thing has the bachelor in
the army any advantage over the married
man. This is that IL a travelling order
comes he has only to pack and march,
leaving no wife behind to worry and not
having to bother with packing and Grating
and shipping the hundred and one things
that the army benedict accumulates. In
cidentally just on account of this, bache-
lors usually get the brisk, emergency as
signments, 1t being the currently held the

1t is a greeting between two comrades
III common cause. Officially, of course,
there would be the formality which regu-
lations impose, but unofficially these things
are waived when to waive them is both
good taste and common sense.
Critics of the army say that West Point
breeds snobbery. Many an officer who is
not West Pointer can and does readily
say that such outbursts as these are sim
ply based on as foul a misconception OF
as fine group of men as have ever served
this country. The West Pointer, indeed, in
the army sets the example of true democ-
racy-the treating of all men fairly and
squarely-and old soldiers are quick to say
that West Pointers are the very first OF
all to go out of their way to help the men
Of their commands. They labor long hours
with enlisted men who are ambitious to
teach them things entirely outside the
routine of military service which the men
wish to know for their own advancement
The West Pointer, indeed, is prone to deal
with his men not as a martinez but as
what he is trained to be-a leader, whom
the men will follow through sheer pride
Old 'Noncons' Factor
In Developing Raw Men
Next to the officer in developing the
spirit OF the army is the old noncommis-
stoned officer. Keen he is and canny he
is and wise to the ways OF man and maid
More often than not he has entered the
army as a kid" and has made his way
up through one enlistment after another,
getting touch of the Philippines, a taste
OF China and look see" in on Japan on
his Journeys around the world. These are
the backbone of the army-these noncoms
and most of them are married and have
children-many children.
For example, last year in one army
camp the Colonel visited the army school
one bright day, returned to his headquar-
ters and sent for the only lieutenant in the
