UNsTUFFlNc LITERARY SHIRTS

Remember those schooldoys when
YOU drowsed through Donte's Divine
Comedy ond Millions "Porodise Lost
CorIyIe's "Sortor Resortus" or "Cicero's
Conspiracy Of CotoIine"?
And how you allowed lozily that it
was all woste Of time? Well. 50 It was,
according to a group Of American liter
ory critics recently polIed by Books
Abroad, quarterly literary n,ogo-
zine. These critics, men Of standing, too
chose the Divine Comedy as the
worlds worst and most over-roted book.
They gave "Porodise Lost" second
place.
Whot is q classic? Why, classic
is work which, generations otter it is
written, continues to have vital inter-
est and meaning for those who con-
tinue to read it. School classics may be
selected by professors who. having
based their careers on deep study Of
them, have q vested interest in their
preservation. But once beyond school
days, every man hos the right to choose
his own classics. Which goes not only
for books, but for all the ideas Of life.

ONLY BEGINNING

The very small extent to which Sc
Iective service hos as yet affected the
United Stotes is we'll shown by the Of
ficioI figures on the army released by
the War Department.
Of 867 900 officers and enlisted
men, only l28, 900 thus for have come
into the service via selective service.
The regular army, 454, 900. and the
notionoI guard in federal service. 223.-
600, are all volunteers. So are the navy
and marine corps.
Surely never in peocetime have any
thing like so large q number Of young
American men voluntarily entered the
armed forces. 1t speaks we'll for their
obiIity to understand the need, and
their willingness to do what need re-
quires.
These figures also make it clear
that the raising and training of q mass
army has scarcely begun. This first
million is merely the advance guard; it
is to the army the United Stotes can
roise If it must, what the famous Ger
many "ormy Of 100000 sereeonts"
was before Hitler launched his "olI-
out" armament drive.

In the western pattern - THE

Iery from the Atlantic seoboord to
camp at 81 Poso, Texas, was accom-
panied by widespread comment in the
press relative to method and speed Of
transport. The regiment was broken
into two sections One section consist
ing Of three hundred men reached 81
Poso in seventy hours by rail. The sec
ond contingent, travelling by motor con-
voy, expected to spend seventeen days
on tn erood. 1t would be unfair to as
sumo that there was any race. to see
which could reach Ell Poso first. How
ever. the port that will be played by the
rails in national emergency is strik-
inely illustrated.
For twenty years the railroads have
built up their equipment for just such
q crisis as the notion now foces. Road
beds and tracks have been graded and
laid with an eye to sPeedLspeed and
sofety. At the same time more power
and performance have been the watch
word in the construction Of new locomo-
tives.
Yet during that twenty years, as the
San Marine, California, Tribune recent
Iy pointed out, the railroads "hove been
compelled to stand in the spectators
row and see competing systems, woter-
ways, trucks, bus lines and oirwoys,
gobbIe the business and revenues, the
waterways particularly receiving SUBJ
sides in one form or another while the
bus lines have heretofore worn out the
highways Of the country without con-
tributing by toxotion sums sufficient to
restore sold highways and place them
on q foirly competing bosis with the
roiIroods." Meanwhile, as the Tribune
further pointed out; a.. No motter
how hard the going is, before they can
roise q rote, they must get down on
their morrow-bones and beg -. with
the chances ten to one such permission
will not be granted"
The railroads do not expect fovors
from any quorter. They do expect. and
should receive, q foir hearing and
equality Of treatment in all tronspor-
lotion problems affecting them. The
defense emergency has shown what roll
transportation means. The miehtiest
army in the world cannot protect our
homes and industries without the help
