T,iERE are millions who tread the lonely path;
who have never known, and perhaps never
will know the sweetness of love; the tonic OF
good companions the warmth of true friendship
You see them in little tearooms, hungering for a
dinner partner; sunk in movie chairs drinking in
the romance which they cannot share; alone in
frendless bedrooms, cropping for gaiety through a
kindly radio. All have stood at some time, per.
haps, on the threshold of happiness only to find
the door suddenly closed.

TWO NOTED SOLDIERS

Only two soldiers in our history rose
from private to the highest rank in the
United States Army-Samuel b. NJ Young
and Adna r. Chaffee. Both enlisted as
privates at Che outbreak of the Civil War
in 1861 Young i'm the volunteers and Chat
fee in the regular Army, and both even
tually attained the rank of lieutenant gen.
eral.
Young's rise in the volunteers was
rapid. and he was mustered out at the
close of the war in 1865 as a brevet briga-
der general, at the age of %. The follow
ing year he accepted an appointment i'm
the regular Army as second lieutenant,
which was one of the biggest drops in rank
on record. Finally. in 1908. he reached
the highest rank existing at the time. that
of lieutenant general.
When General Young was retired for
age in 1901, he was succeeded in the
Army 5 highest post by General Chaffee,
who also became lieutenant general. The
transfer of the office was marked by a
unique and pleasing incident. in which
General Young gave his successor pair of
shoulder straps, accompanied by note
which read:
Private s. b. NJ. Young. 18th Penn
Sylvania Cavalry, presents Private Adna r.
Chaffee. 9th L. s. Cavalry. with this pair
of lieutenant generals shoulder straps
General Chaffee retired in 1906 and
died in 1914 at the age of To- General
Young lived 20 years after his retirement
l.o..a active service, and died in 1924 at
the age of 81.

HAS JAPAN STOLEN A MARCH?

Discussing a two-ocean fleet and
hearing about a billion dollars to be spent
on warShipS the average American is apt
to get a little bit mixed up in regards to
his navy
In the first place, the present strength
of the United States Navy is below the
standard of parity set by the limitation
treaties. Despite the construction of the
past four years our fleet is still short of
modern-age vessels This may be the
basis for the statement of the Japanese
Rear Admiral Ishimaru, who says the Jap
anese navy is Superior in quality to the
United States fleet now
The argument over the relative eff
cheney of airplanes and battleships and
the decision to build battleships leads
some people to the conclusion that the
United States is "dressed-up" with battle
ships. AS a matter of fact, the two battle
ships started in 1887 will hardly be fight
ing machines before 1912 and by that time
five of our present battleships will be over
age, to the satisfaction of powers which
began to build modern battleships several
years ago.
The present debate over the billion
dollar naval building program is extremely
misleading because all that the proposal
does is to declare naval limit Today,
the size of our fleet is fixed by law in &C
cordance with the limitation treaty, which
nobody regards. The new program" au-
thorizes larger navy but it will take
other legislation to appropriate money be-
fore single warship can begin the pro-
cess of construction.
Because there is so much talk about
battleships and so many estimates of COM
parative strength on the basis of five
build there is an idea that we have the
ships. Actually, the suspicion exists that
before the United States can carry out its
construction program there will be a year
in which the Japanese navy will be more
powerful than our own. Certainly, even
now, in view of the Japanese building in
the past few years, there is much closer
balance than most Americans suspect. If
Japan builds while we debate, and Japan
will build, the margin will be against us.
Now, while our Congressman and
citizens debate whether to build fleet be-
fitting the worlds richest nation, the
word comes from Japan that Foreign Min
lister Hoki Hirota hopes to stop the worlds
naval race. This will lead some bright
patriot in this country to propose that we
stop all naval construction pending another
pow-wow on limitation of fleets, which will
be fine for Germany Italy and Japan, now
busy building new and larger battleships.
1t follows Japan's refusal to disclose her
building plans and the advocacy by the
same Hirota of Increased preparedness"
by Japan in order to guard against the pos
sibility of interference by third power in
her undeclared war against China.
