HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 13.-One of
the agreeable things about the ma
jority of night club artists is their
ability to take advantage of the

There was on Of the boys in

d~istaste for the show, although
the audience obviously liked it.

WASHINGTON
DAYBOOK

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Military experts
here are clapping their hands in wicked glee
and pointing to the District of Columbia Ma
tional Guards little stumble the other day as
a horrible example of what happens when
even one small army unit is unprepared.
1 wouldn't know whether it's an example Of
anything. But as nearly as 1 could make out,
here is what happened.
The 26Oth coast artillery, under command
of Col. w.. w. Burns, and composed OF LOU
men, anti-aircraft guns, searchlights and 9TH
err paraphernalia, had orders to roll for North
cumberland, Pa, at 9:35 am. Il never could
figure out why armies operate on off-minute
schedules.)
Colonel Burns was at the National Guards
ancient dilapidated-looking armory on Penn
sylvania avenue ahead of time. But IL trucks
he had ordered were not. When the trucks
did arrive, there were only six. That left 100
men with no way to get to Northumberland
THE COLONEL APPEALS
The Colonel went into action. There were
no more trucks, he was told. So the Colonel
jammed 20 Of his men into the already-crowd
ed six trucks, and appealed to the assistant
adjutant generals office. The office suggest
ed sending the men by train. How about
food, the Colonel inquired? Sorry, there was
no authorization for feeding 80 extra men on
the train.
The Colonel gave up, appealed to the men
themselves for private cars, got 10, crammed
the 80 now weary soldiers into these and
rolled his unit out at 1920 pm.
You'd think the fates would let a man alone
when he had done that we'll, but the luck OF
the 260th played out again before Northun-
berland. Two OF the trucks broke down.. One
was repaired, one sent back to Washington:
When the dusty, weary boys in brown rolled
into the Pennsylvania village, it was $3.50, SIX
hours and 10 minutes behind schedule.
LUCK DISAPPEARS AGAIN
|. My spy with the army of the north tells
me that they ate chow that had been luke
warm for four hours and that some of them
were too near exhaustion to pitch tents, mere
ly rolling up in their blankets and sleeping
wherever they could find a soft spot in the
Pennsylvania wheatfield.
P. S. Thai night, the luck Of the 10th held.
It didn't rain.
P. S. The next night, luck deserted the
Burns boys again. Rain poured. The trucks
begged down and the men were six hours late
again getting bivouacked at Watkins Glen,
N. Y. The 26oth slept in the mud. ]
