FEW BUCKS NOW IN U. S. ARMY
Number Of Trained ooughboys Has
Been Reduced. Bringing Total to
Not More Than 10000.

Doughboys-just plain buck privates
OF infantry--are becoming almost as
scarce in the regular army as shave
tails were some time ago. Every time
there is reduction In the size Of the
army, the number OF buck privates Is
very perceptlbly cut down. At the
present time, 1t is said that there are
not more than 10000 plain, unspecial-
lied bucks" In the ranks of the
United States army. There are only
1887 men In all branches of the foot
regiments while there were more than
$1,000 enlisted men In the infantry
when the war started in April, 1917.
Impending additional reductions in
the size of the army will show a
further drop In the number of prl.
Yates. officers say, and leave the in
fantry only framework of highly
trained specialists with just few
humble bayonet-wielding bucks here
and there to give sketchy suggestion
of wartime force.
This framework OF specialists will
be maintained, the War department
declares. so that In an emergency the
army may be able to quickly expand,
filling in the vacant ranks with raw
recruits who, with few weeks train.
Ing, will make our fighting forces a
highly trained machine.

Booth Harrington on Plot in a Story

A new edition of "The Magnificent
Ambersons" has an Introduction by
Julian Street which contains extracts
from letters to friend by Booth Tark-
ington (portrait herewith). 1t Is
generally admitted that Harrington Is
one of the ablest of our literary crafts
men. Here's something he says about
plot:
Don't worry about the plot, or
your alleged lack Of inventiveness.
What YOU mean Is something you
oughtn't to have. The characters
make their own plot-all the plot
there should be. Think Of them In
their relation to one another and they
will make your story. Your struggle
should be against everything ex.
traneous. It Is unusual poignancy that
makes a book unusual, not unusual
plot.
Treatment is the big show. For
get, when you work, about any re-
suit but the art result to you. Pick

who doesn't know your artist-selfs int
