The extent Of the isolation and

War, the Regular Army Of less than

During his service he spends many
years in military schools; his work in
civil communities also comprises q
schooling in the responsibilities of cit
izenship. He is better officer through
being a better citizen. Through nu-
merous contacts with the Army, on
the other hand, the citizen comes to a
greater appreciation of the purposes,
aims and aspirations Of the Army
which he helps to maintain and
which. in the final analysis, Is his.
THE passing of the old Army has
seen. too. the passing Of the "old
soldier" His capacity to endure
hardships was well night incredible.
his courage approached recklessness.
He was the adventurer of adventures.
Too great tribute cannot be paid him,
for he was the builder Of the Repub-
lie. The old soldier was the man for
his day, and there was no type which
could have replaced him.
But as the army has changed, so
the soldier has changed. The army
cannot compete with civil industry in
monetary remuneration. It now has
little to offer in the way Of adventure.
The hours Of duty for the soldier are
long; the perfection of his own instruc-
tion ard participation in the training
of citizen.soldiers make heavy demands
upon him. The new soldier is young.
In most instances he enters the mill
tary service through patriotic motives,
but with the primary purpose of bet
ter fitting himself for civil life through
the educational advantages afforded

either through army schools or other
military activities.
He is quick to seek enrolment in
schools which cover such fields as
motor transportation, radio, aviation
and business administration. He finds
the door of advancement to commiss
stoned grades open to him eithsf
through appointment to the United
States Military Academy or directly
from the ranks. He builds his body
as he improves his mind. He returns
to civil life disciplined, respecter of
law, at once a potential wartime
soldier Of high military qualifications
and a citizen better equipped to win
the battle Of life.
The new order means much to the
army and to the Nation. Adequate
knowledge of the demands Of war has
cost us dearly in the past. This lack
of understanding was due to q mill
tary isolation which was born Of cir.
cumstances. Our army has never been
a class distinct and separate from the
rest Of our people. It's personnel has
always come from the people, and re-
turned to 1t after varying periods or
service. But because Of physical
separation from all but a small por-
ton Of our citiZenry, it had never
fully understood the people nor been
understood by them.
The army has now returned to its
rightful place. National defense gained
much from the World War. No
greater gain has come than that
which has brought the army to the
position where its officers and soldiers
are recognized primarily as citizens,
secondarily as soldiers.

defense, rather than local defense, be-
came the paramount consideration Of
the War Department. Subsequently
l.wlessness along our Southern border
necessitated the assembly Of troops in
larger numbers The joint action of
troops of the Regular Army and the
National Guard brought the Army
into somewhat closer association with
civilian life. Prior to the entrance of
the United States into the World War
there had been established, on small
scale, camps for the voluntary train
ing Of citizens. The year 1915 saw the
establishment Of corps of Reserve
officers.
But the declaration of the state of
war in 1917 found the Army faced
with a mammoth task for which past
military experience hardlv had pre-
pared it. officers had been accustomed
to the command of small units of
highly disciplined enlisted men,
trained in minute details of individual
military proficiency. With the small
Regular Army of 1883 as a founda-
tion, there had to be erected the great
military structure of more than 4,000,.
600 citizen soldiers.
New problems were presented daily.
There were those of the old Army who
with comparative ease adapted them.

personnel, detailed to duty with the
National Guard, Organized Reserves
and units Of the Reserve Officers
Training Corps at educational insti-
tutions. Moreover, during the last
Summer nearly 5000 officers and more
than 48 900 enlisted men Of the regu-
lar establishment were engaged in
training activities pertaining to in
struction of members of the Organized
Reserves, the Reserve Officers Train
ing Corps and the Citizens Military
Training Camps.
These civilian contacts have brought
the army back to the people. Gone
are the days of mental isolation. In
the course of his military career every
officer of the Regular Army will be
detached from troops to serve one or
more tours Of duty which will bring
him into intimate contact with civil
life and civil enterprise. Thus the
officer Of the present-day army is
called upon to assume q broad role
which demands not only that he main.

frontier to the major responsibility Of

soldier Of the old Army outpioneered

unconscious laying of a stone in the

Il olutionary War to the trans
formation period prior to the
World War the annals of the United
States Army comprise an epic Of self
sacrifice in the face Of danger and
hardship. It's personnel exemplified
the highest devotion to national well

be questioned whether there has ex-
listed at any time a military force
so thoroughly and unselfishly devoted
to duty, SO unostentatious in it's serv-
ice, SO willing to assume responsible
ties to the full limit Of it's strength
and resources.
The "old Army" in the accomplish
ment Of its mission had strayed far
from close personal contact with the
people. Its soldiery for more than
100 years, except when assembled in
the days Of a major war, were scat
tered in frontier posts over thousands
Of miles Of unsettled, savage-infested

Of protecting the pioneer and settler

he has successfully put them out of
his life. Deep down, these ambitions
and strivings still persist and pro.
woke a mental conflict between desire
on the one hand and what he feels to
be duty on the other that generates
emotional tension.
Mental conflicts require energy to
feed upon, and this energy must be
drawn from other activities. SO it
happens that presently the distressed
husband finds himself tiring easily,
has difficulty in keeping his attention
on his work, discovers that decisions
are coming slowly and inaccurately,
and feels himself in general slipping.

Virtually every one can recall
among his acquaintances a woman of
this kind. When she runs true to
form. n stock description fits her ad-

doll-like, with a trusting, appealing
manner and the naive insouciance of
a child. Psychologically speaking,
this is exactly what she is-a child.
An adult in years and usually in in
telligence, such woman nevertheless
has failed to grow up emotionally.
She still lives on a juvenile level. and
her ways Of reacting to everyday
experiences and her habits Of meet
ing the disagreeable or unexpected in
life are essentially the same as those
displayed during her childhood.
This means that the methods she
adopts to secure her own way may
range from adult disguises Of temper
tantrums to the most ruthless use of
sex appeal. 1t Is the variations OF
this latter method in particular that
characterize the true "clinging vine.
Instinctively almost, a wife of this
kind realizes she appears to best ad-
vantage in the role of pretty depend
ency. Drawing as much as the traffic
will bear on her femininity and win
some childishness, she strikes uner-
ringly at her husbands Achilles heel
