Commander D. ]. Hussey of the
District of Columbia Department of
the Disabled American Veterans to-
day offered the cooperation of his
organization to Maj. J. Franklin Bell,
District Commissioner, to assist in
making successful the celebration of
National Defense day, September IL.
Commander Hussey's letter follows:
II desire to offer the services of the
District Of Columbia Department of
the Disabled American Veterans in
assisting to make a success of the
national defense test September IL.
I'VE feel that no cross section Of
American citizenry has a better ap-
probation of the horrors of war than
those SCARED in national service. Our
national organization is composed of
100 per cent of men disabled in line
of duty, and our declaration of prin-
ciples calls for adequate preparedness
for the country's security.
Our national commander has de-
clared that adequate national defense
no more brings on war than insur-
ance invites fire, and we are heartily
in favor of a test of the defensive
facilities that are the outgrowth of
our experience in the war.
Trusting that this department will
be able to assist in some way to aid
in plans that are now being made for
the Washington observance Of what
we hope to be an annual affair"

Parents themselves occasionally
have been aided by the home. In one
case a mother and five children came
to the home, utterly destitute. They
had little more than a single garment
for each of the little group. The
father had been a drunkard. The
mother and the children were well
coined into the home and the result
has been reestablishment of a family
whose members have succeeded in no
small measure.
Principle Is Inculcated.
The youngsters know the loving
care at the home which under other
circumstances they might have re-
ceived in their own homes.
A little boy pleaded for 5 cents
from Mother Fleck" for candy. He
was told to wash his hands and come
back again. He appeared, spick and
span. But an assistant of Mrs.
Fleck called attention to the fact
10 cents a short time before to go
see his mother. So the little fellow
was in a quandary. He wanted the
candy, but, as Mrs. Fleck pointed out,
1t was the duty of young man to
pay his debts. He finally decided
that the S cents should be applied on
his debt. Whereupon Mrs. Fleck de-
cided that a little boy Of that kind
should have Is cents, instead of. 5.
And he had his candy and learned
a lesson at the same time.
For the most part, the children in
the home have been the children of
Washington parents, though a few
have been sent there from other
places. A case in point is that of
Mexican boy who was brought to
the home by his father, who had had
disagreement with his wife in
Mexico. The boy remained in the
home a couple of years. and eventu-
ally returned to his reunited parents,
but not without shedding tears at
leaving his Other nother. ..-.-..-=- ..-..--...-=-

CAMP MEADE, Md, August T.
District reserve officers have taken
part in their first maneuver. The
problem was laid in Maryland and the
Washington officers were practically
called upon to defend their city.
For the tactical maneuver of the
two armies, the soldiers were divided
into the Reds" and the Blues" Fol-
lowing was the situation:
Red European troops are invading
the United States. After landing from
transports in the Chesapeake and oc-
cupying Baltimore, strong Red
forces have started an advance by
the Baltimore-Laurel turnpike on to
derstood to be assembling to the
southwest and an advance by Camp
Meade reservation on Jessup is be-
lieved to be imminent" The War of
1872 was duplicated.
All through the day in every phase
of the battle, the Washington reserve
lists were in the thick of things. They
saw rival armies maneuver into DO
sition, airplanes circle overhead,
dropping messages for observation
through the brush. They saw cavalry
charge the infantry and get "anni-
hiIated" and led off by the umpire.
They saw artillery fire on bridges and
tnfantrymen charge with bayonets.
Col Heron and the officers of the
313th Field Artillery have received
training in. actually firing the French
75s of the 9Th Field Artillery Regi-
ment. Each officer demolished tar

May Be Permanent.
1t is a known fact around the camp
that the question of whether the
Camp Meade reservation will be made
sidered by the general staff at Wash
ington. Reserve officers from Wash
ington pointed out that because of its
location, near and yet not too near
a large city, its topography, it's eli
mate, its roads and other facilities,
the Maryland camp Is in strategic
position to win an important place,
if the contemplated Reorganization of
permanent quarters for the Army is
approved by Congress and carried
into effect

BRUEN HOME DRIVE
$4,000 Rebuilding Cam
paign to Be Pressed After
Middle of September.

The campaign for funds to erect
new building for the Bruen Home
for Children. recently burned, is al
ready bringing contributions. The
intensive campaign, however, will
not begin until after the middle of
September, Mrs. LIE Verne Beales,
treasurer of the home, said today.
Then every effort will be made to
raise $4,000.
1t is planned to erect a modern
ireproof structure, with an ample
playground in connection.
Among the contributions is one
from a woman in New York, who at
one time placed her children in the
Bruen home, that she might work.
Many other parents who have bene-
fitted through the home and men
and women who, as children, lived
in the home, are contributing.
Instftutionalfsm Is Eradicated.
Ever since the establishment Of the
Bruen home, some 80 years ago, it
has been the aim of Mrs. E. x
Fleck, superintendent, to make it a
real home for children, and hundreds
Of men and women in Washington
today can testify that Mrs. Fleck,
with her loving care and attention,
did in truth make the Bruen Home a
real home for them. Mrs. Fleck has
believed that everything possible
should be done to prevent the home
becoming institutional" in atmos-
phere. For that reason there never
has been. any uniform garb for the
Mrs. FIeck-'Mother" F'1eck to so
many-according to her children" is
a natural born mother, and the devo-
tion of her small charges to her has
been very great
The Bruen Home is a charitable in
stitution with a difference from the
accepted term. In the first place, the
parents sending children to the home
pay for their board. Often the pay
mentS are measured by what the par
ent can afford to pay, sometimes it
is as low as IS a month, and in some
cases the children are taken without
payment at all 1t is believed to be
better for the parents to make such
payments, thus avoiding the feeling
that they are subjects of charity.
Furthermore, they continue to have
a feeling of responsibility for their
children which otherwise they might
lose.
those, for the most part, of families
which have been broken up through
death or divorce. The parent to whose
lot the care of the children has fallen
is unable to work and to give the
care needed by the child.
Not Kept From Parents.
The children are not separated
from their parents any more than is
Necessary. They are allowed to go out
for the day with the parents once a
week. In this there is a distinction
from many other charitable institu-
tions caring for children.
Seventeen young men who grew
up in the Bruen Home served in the
world War. and three gave their
lives.
The Bruen home has given many
youngsters chance for an education
which they otherwise would have
missed, if they had continued with
their parents, struggling for an exist
ence. The home takes children of
from 3 to 10 or - years of age. but
