on Oct. 9. 1917, Ii was announced
tn. war service committees rep
resenting the several industries
furnishing war supplies 70 the gov
eminent were to be organized to
take the place Of the subordinate
advisory committees OF the Council
OF National Defense.
The new committees win have
no official connection with the
Council or Defense. but serve the
government as cons: lting agents
after the manner Of existing COM
mittees. This arrangement abol-
ishes the technical dual function
50 far exercised by several mem
beers OF the Council OF National
Defense.
On this date also President VIII
son signed commissions as generals
for Mai. Gen. Tasker III. Bliss and
for Maj. Gen. John y. Pershtng.
commanding the American forces
In France.
Though both officers had equal
rank, General Bliss took prece-
dence by virtue OF his position as
the directing head or the entire
army organization. Pay OF the
two officers was set nc $4,000 a
year. a $1,000 increase over the pay
OF major general.

Gilbert Swan, Broadway columnist, reports that re-
vivals of old-time music shows are becoming increasingly
popular these days.
A season or two ago the Gilbert and Sullivan oper-
ettas were put on to packed houses. More recently some
producer revived "The Merry Widow" and profited
thereby. Now "The Chocolate Soldier" is being played
and the Broadway crowds seem to like it immensely.
All of this, for some reason, reminds one just a little
bit of Henry Fordis passion for restoring buildings, vii
lagos and furniture of a century or more ago.
The motor king-who probably did as much as any
one to- make complete the gap between the present and
the slow-moving, picturesque past-seems to have been
assailed by the same emotion that has overtaken New
York's theater patrons; a rather wistful longing for a past
that won't come back, a feeling that the modern era
somehow lacks something that it is good to have.
Those out-moded musical shows emphasize the point.
The theater then, as wise-cracking Cartoonist John
Held remarks, was "fraught with romance in real truth.
1t could be flip and sly on occasion, of course; but the old
moonlightend-h oneysuckle, tnsel-and-s tarduSt recipe was
its staple, and the patrons who thrived on it could feel
that the romance that came across the footlights was not
SO terribly far removed from real life, after all.
Today things are different. Our highest-priced
music show stars are not ineffably handsome tenors any
more; they are clowns, in black-face or in the guise of
leering boulevardiers. Instead Of trying to transport us
into a magic land of beautiful princesses and gallant
young officers they tease us with wisecracks. Then try
to evoke outlaws in place of dreams.
To be sure, the change was inevitable, and probably
we are better for it. The Graustarkian, Prince-of-Pilsen
era was based on a profound mistake, and it dissolved
quickly in the lyddite fumes along the western front in
1914. But because that era lent itself to romantic dreams
of that kind, we of oday-who have lost most of our
dreams, and feel the loss badly-look back, and listen to
the old tunes and enjoy the old adventures, and wish
that we could get it back.

Coolidge Says MOI

1t Is hard to tell whether Mr.. Coolidges recent an
nouncement concerning his plans for 1882 is more inter-
esting to Republicans or to Democrats.
For the Republicans, of course, it removes a huge
element of uncertainty from the pre-convention plans.
The program is fairly well mapped out now; the cam
paign itself, and not the preliminaries, now becomes the
objective. The air is clarified, and more or less definite
plans can be made.
The Democrats, too, will find the atmosphere clear
ed. They can be fairly sure, now, who their opponent
will be next year, and they too will be able to make more
definite plans than before.
Incidentally, the mere fact that his announcement
has drawn so much attention testifies to the hold that Mr..
Coolidge still has on the public mind.

NEW YORK-Leave 1t to an ex-
columnist to spoil your entire dayl
A working columnist is bad
enough. heaven knows, but an ex-
columnist carries a positive swag-
ger. Having thrown off his shackles
and taken TO earning an honest
living. this cog In the machinery
will show up some day with his
fingers In his vest and. walking
into ones work-room, will open up
with-"Well, still shaving at the

town. New York Is terriblei. II

you've got around here Is q lot Of
new buildings and the greatest
assortment Of speakeasies In the
world. -"
And that very morning, I had
come to work and 1t had seemed to
me that never before had the big
town been so bright and shining.
A recent rain had washed clean
the faces Of the building, and
through the window the Empire
State building was silvery-sharp
against a dusty sky.
But to get specific: Once upon a
time q young man named Maurice
Henle. now city editor Of the Gin
cinnati Post, sat on the chair
wherein I perch and pegged away
at the same typewriter. He issued
a column. So did James w. Dean,
now general manager Of NEA Ser
vice. So did Steve flanagan, now
press agent for Miami Beach and
magazine writer.
Well, after all these years. Henle
comes bouncing into the office.
"Umm, everything Is 20 different
In Cinci," he begins. i can't get
used to the tempo Of New York
any more. How do you stand it?"
AS a matter Of fact, you don't
stand 1t; you accept i'll

they drive me merits" he goes on.
They always seem to be trying to
hit something"
But they seldom do" I volun-
teer timidly. Really the greatest
drivers in the world"
Il know but they almost hit
everything in sight. You know,
I've learned to take things easier.
It's great Nothing worries me any
more-or not much"
And at the time, you're worried
about a thousand things. A new
Manhattan season has begun; there
are a millfon-and-one things to do,
and only a few hours TO do them.
And these old editorial eyes droop
a bit, for 1t was about three in the
morning when we left the Nation
al Broadcasting banquet for news
paper folk who had come to the
Radio Worlds Fair.
Yes. sir" the voice goes on,
Everything is different. I even
buy my own theater tickets"
That, OF course, was q help, since
most visiting firemen expect one
to chisel two on the isle for a sue
cess that is sold out three months
in advance.
Hmm remember when / never
got any sleep and ran around in
circles. Now. when the papers out,
! get in my car and go out in the
country and take a swim. New
York is a lot Of hooie. it's the
bunk!"
All Of which being the case, you
wopder why they ever pick 1t out
as a vacation resort.
Well. I suppose an ex-columnist
earns the light to get that way.
But I do wish they wouldn't rub
IL in quite so much. And / doubt
II anyone in New York need be re-
minded OF the fact that there are
green fields and trees and leisure
and rest and comfort and homes
and lawns.
We dream about such things
enough as 1t is.
