 The Secretary of War Mir. John w Weeks. smiled broadly when he was asked for an article about tl,e War Department from peace view point--a story that would tell what the department does for the welfare of the country in times of peace
 .But the War Department was created primarily for military pur- poses" said the Secretary, with somewhat puzzled air. still, there is a good deal that might be said of the military activities of thts big office, even though the War De- partment has not arrived at the time :, to beat it's swords into plowsha res. The department was established in 17s9, and you must not forget that the first Congress provided by law for a War Department even before it created the treasury, which illus trates the importance attached by the founders of our republic to matters of national defense. Soon after II was created, Congress provided tbas in addition to it's military duties the War Department should have the charge of river and harbor improve Inent, river navigation, canals and other similar projects.
 With the growth of the cou these peace duties, if you care to so term them, have increased at an accelerating rate. In fact. the part the war office has played \, the civil welfare of the country reaches into almost every branch of Ameri- caan life and has had tremendous in- fiuence for the betterment of the people. Take what the War Depart mept has done for commerce through river and harbor Improvements jot- ting down the items as he spoke That work has been done through the engineer corps of the United States army and is an excellent ex- ample of the beneficial activities of the War Department in civil life. Take the contribution that the de- partment has made to the sciences. In medicine under the office of the sur -general-that is a story of marvellous. accomplishment. In the signal corps, General Squier, one of the inventive geniuses of the age. has Jurisdiction and the work the corps is doing under his direction in radio and other means of communca- ton is of vast benefit to mankind The aviation service of the War Depart ment Is making an inestimable con tributi6n to science and commerce. You must not forget, either, our i'm sular possessions. No. other country has fairer record for colonial ad- ministration than we have made in the Philippines. Cuba, Porto Rico and the Canal zone.

 A very kindly thought came into the boys head. Why explain? Why cut of it he could?
 So 1azelmere, senior. went over to the trunk and opened it and brought back the trousers, pok out the money and tossed it on the deal table.

 Both envelope and letter were in a pitiabIe state of disintegration Mary saw the hand of the millionaire shake as it reached for that letter. She saw the sons chin go up; but his lips quivered. How the two of them had loved that woman; and how they had all misunderstood Mary saw what the father was just beginning to see-the wild horses that had been pulling the boy in two directions.
 When Haelmere. senior. finished the letter, he returned it without comment. He wasn't sure of his voice.
