MILITARY DRILL
is DEFENDED BY
STATE OFFICIAL
FifieId Denies R. 0. 7. c.
Work Makes Robots
of Students.

Editors Of stunt publications and
others on the campus who protest
against compulsory military drill
are apt to wear their uniforms
proudly at military balls and when
back in the old home town on va
cation"
This was a new slant on the In
diana university r. o. T. C. war,
launched by the Indiana Daily Stu
dent, given alumni of the school at
a luncheon today at the Columbia
Club.
The speaker was Secretary Of
State Otto G. Fifeld.
II know how We used to cuss out
military drill when I was a student
at Purdue university Fifield told
the I. u. graduates.
Liked to Parade
But how we did like to parade
with that uniform on. I have an
idea that this still holds down at
Indiana university as we'll as at
Purdue.
In my opinion, the student body
at your alma mater will be better
of if compulsory military training
is retained there There is small
danger of the students becoming
mere robots, as the student paper
charges.
There may come a future time
when the knowledge Of military tao
tics may be of utmost practical
value, although we trust that this
will not be the case.
Learn to Walk
"At any rate students will learn
to walk correctly, think quickly and
act promptly"
Fifleld defended the right of the
student editors to launch such an
attack on compulsory military train
ing and also the new university rule
requiring the editorials to be signed.
They will turn out poor editors
at the school Of Journalism if they
do not teach and adhere to the
fundamental American principle of
freedom of the press he concluded.

followed the line of march through
the announcements that came out
of the air.
Tom was speaking. and she
thought that she detected a tremor
in his voice. He didn't sound real,
she thought.
Ladies and gentlemen" he was
saying, the real heroes of the ex-
pedition-are back there. Fourteen
brave men who died in the frozen
south"
He paused, visibly affected, and
then:
1.-THE 1ast-and greatest hero is
Lieutenant James Wallace who. sim
gle handed. came to my rescue and,
observation-disclosures for Com
mander Hall. and-perished in his
attempted rescue"
The hushed crowd waited as what
seemed a long pause followed, and
then Lieutenant Armstrong con-
stinued in a low tense voice:
$50. if there is any glory attached
to this expedition, it belongs to
those men"
Miriam shut off the radio. She
was disappointed in Toms address.
WHY hadn't he paid greater tribute
to the real helo Of the expedition
to Donald?
She wondered if he knew that
she were listening, and she reflected
that perhaps he deemed that recital
of the last moment in that great
unknown land were too sacred for
other ears than her own.
Oh! how she did want to see Tom
to hear from his own lips all that
| had happened But she realized
that hours must elapSe before he
could come to her. before he could
secure his release from the adoring
men and women whose guest he
was.
IF Miriam were impatient to see
l. Tom, the young officer was no
less DESTROYS of her companionship.
His longing to be alone with her,
to hold her in his arms was inten-
sifed with the passing of the hours;
and his reaction to the desire made
him nervous and i'll at ease i'll his
surroundings, a condition which was
interpreted by those about him as
the reflection of what he had I'M
dergone on the expedition.
A dinner was being given in his
honor that night, and he knew that
his only opportunity to see Miriam
would be before the hour set for
the function.
He fixed 5 o'clock in the after
noon as the time for his call, and
timed his other engagements to
make certain of being at liberty. He
thought of telephoning and dis
missed the thought promptly. His
first greeting would be in person.
He was more nervous than he had
been at any time since his arrival
when he walked up the steps Of her
! home.
He hesitated before pushing the
bell, wondering at what her recep-
ton of him would be. He was re-
assured when the door was swung
open by the grinning Negro butler,
who bowed before him with every
evidence of pleasure.
Mrs. Hall?" questioned Tom.
Yes sah," returned the delighted
darkey, indicating the way to the
living room.
Her back was toward him as he
entered the living room, and the
butler disappeared.
"Miriam!" he cried, all his soul in
his voice.
She turned swiftly to him.
Toni" she murmured In low
voice, which trembled in spite of her
efforts to retain her composure, and
thrilled every fiber of his being.
He advanced toward her with
outstretched arms.
