. An Army Of Realisis

From the camps come back the usual
stories and pictures of horse-play. of sol
der jollities and fun-in-uniform stuff.
They do no harm, but they are not true
reflection of army life today.
The men of the new army are not in
quest of adventure. Writing in Nations
Business. Herbert Corey quotes one of
their officers:
THE men are serious, eager to get
into ii and get it over with. When they
come home they'll have questions to ask.
The talk in my company at night is likely
to be on taxation, what will happen after
the war. and the fumbling of amateur
strategists. The men are savagely loyal
but they are realists."
Even the training schedule takes ac-
count of this realism. There's less make
believe than in the first World war and
in other armies. To work up hate in the
British army, for instance. soldiers at
bayonet drill charge bags filled with ami
NAL blood. Over here the blood bag is
dispensed with

say. They would probably miss the blood
bags with their bayonets, anyhow. They're
humorists. And then what the reporters
would do to u.s.
These young men are going to look
for realism at home too. Realism in the
conduct of the war; in war aims, in their
country's program after the war. And
when they come home they are going to
have something positive to say about any
changes in the American way that they
have been fighting IN preseryp

In 1918 China was asked for

AT any rate, this disclosure

United China Relief is just one of
the many agencies whose financing
will be strengthened by their share
of our War Chest contents.

, Inqois and Shapes

The layman is in danger of becoming
confused, in all the discussion about steel
output, if he ignores the big difference
between ingot tonnage and the weight of
finished plates, sheets, bars, pipe, wire.
rails and other forms.
Here is the situation. in brief The
national capacity now is approaching 90
million tons year. At the end of 194l
it was SS million tons. That is the capac-
ity TO make ingots-steel in its crude
form.
Presently we are turning out seven
million tons a month. These seven mil
lion tons of ingots make only about five
million tons of shapes. But we need nine
million tons of shapes. So. with the
worlds greatest steel capacity, we are
producing little more than half as much
steel as we should have

That may be. But if, with the distribu-
ton We achieve, We lack "a per cent of
