The same attitude-certainty Of event.
ual victory-prevails now. but based this
time on the greatly superior productive
capacity of America We can outbuild
our enemies, we say. We can put more
and better planes into the air and back
them up with more and better tanks,
ships and artillery.
Morale now seems actually higher
than then. I'VE did 1t before, we can
do it again." says one of the latest war
songs, correctly interpreting the feelings
of America. But there is less under
standing, this time, as to how we will
do It,
Disregarding the necessary sacrifice,
the answer was simple in 1917. Obvious
ly the thing to do was to get busy on
the western front, drive the Germans
back, and win. 1t might help some to
fight on other fronts in Bulgaria and
Turkey, but the main front was in
France and Belgium, especially France.
Where Is the "Front?"
Where is the main front now? Where,
in fact, is any 'front.'" in the old sense
of the word? War now is not only
amphibious; it is amphibious In three
dimensions. The front" often becomes
a mere figure of speech, meaning rough
ly any place where attack might occur.
There was more actual front" In Lon
don in the late summer of 1910 than
in the forward lines in France in 1913
Another factor practically unknown
in the last war is the fifth column. It's
kin, sabotage, existed, but was relatively
unimportant. The fifth column was
deadly In Europe; it was worth several
extra armies to Hitler. II Is being tried
nut here with negligible success. It
rays the nerves of few people who
we're fainthearted to begin with, but
Americans are too well satisfied with
their country to be seriously Affected By

The Army
Has a New
First Lady
BY Helen Lombard,
Author OF "Washington Waltz. +.

Author OF "Washington Waltz."
The United States Army No. lady is
somewhat of q mystery to Washington.
The town that knows everything about
everybody admits to a rather complete
blank concerning Jean Faircloth Mac
Arthur, the second wife Of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur.
There are several reasons for this. One
Is that the generals wife has never lived
in Washington. Another is that she has
considered herself background figure in
"this mans army" and has avoided
publicity and lmelight with tact and
frmness.
lege days, her pre-marital existence was
one Of cultural satisfaction to herself and
Of small impact on public notice. Her
membership in the D. A. r. and the fact
that she liked to select the military
speaker for the Independence Day cele-
brations of that organization, have now
been publcized. Her house in Tennes-
see is said to be full Of painting OF mill
tary scenes, battles, engagements, mill
tary heroes and SO on. Members Of the
D. A. r. say jokingly of her: Every time
Jean Faircloth heard Fourth of July
flrecracker 60 of she jumped to attention
and saluted!"
Hidden behind this meager outline is
. very real person who has earned the
warm admiration Of Army wives who do
not always indulge in untinged praise of
the other women in the service.
Mrs. Macarthur Is small and brunette;
she dresses well but unobtrusively and
would not necessarily stand out in q
crowd. Her most striking characteristic
is brilliant smile. She tells the story
on herself of being mistaken for Lily Pons
when she was travelling in Mexico, where
the opera star was a popular figure.
"And that" added the former Jean Fair
cloth, who evidently lacked a sense of
prophecy, lis the nearest will ever come
to being celebrity"
They Met At Sea
Jean Faircloth Macarthur was born
In Murfreesboro Tenn. Her father
owned a flour mill and a chain of

to his other activities. He left his
daughter an orphan at the age of II.
She finished her education, including a
college course, and then started out to
see the world. She had already seen
q great deal Of it when in 1885 she
stepped on board the S. S. Hoover for
q trip to China and the Philippines.
That voyage was due to be interrupted
by a prolonged stay in Manila, where
she became a favorite with the Army
group, and to end in New York with
marriage ceremony in the City Hall and
wedding breakfast of ham and eggs
at the Waldorf
Though Gen. Macarthur and his fu-
ture wife met on that boat, theirs was
not shiphoard romance. Douglas Mac
Arthur, accompanied by group of on
GERS and their wives, was on his way
to organize the Philippine Army at the
request of President Manuel Quezon and

Yes, this war is far more complicated

that this Is equally true for our enemies.

methods of warfare have produced newer.

Not long ago, dissatisfied with the

therefore, the nation able to produce the
most and best planes, parachutes, mobile
artillery and tanks would win, almost
regardless Of their man power. So what
did he do? He used mechanical equip

and over-ran Europe-but to what pur-

what modern war really is, put us on our

rashly declaring war on a nation that

Was that smart?

"You do like I tell you. You
wait"
Before he could argue furth-
err, she ran. He watched her blue
dress fluttering down the long
alley between the trees.
Later he went slowly down
the same way she had gone. He
thought first he had best go
home some roundabout way, but
/ he felt that he must see her -
pass her house.
When he came in sight Of the
little cottage he was surprised.
The doors were shut and the
shades we're drawn. He was
about to pass when he heard
voices. 1t was Sven-Gudrun,
too. Without thinking he ran up
the walk to the door. He could
hear Sven cursing, and Gudrun
saying something very loud.
They were speaking Swedish,
though, and he could not under
stand. Sven began to sh o u t.
Through it he heard a little wall
that almost stopped his heart.
Renee!
There was thud on the door
as though someone had been
thrown against 1t. Then he heard
the unmistakable swish of a
heavy leather strap. He heard it
strike flesh and heard Renee's
piercing scream. He hurled him.
self against the door and shout
ed.
Sven! Sven Gyllinson-Sven
Sven :"
But Sven did not hear. Sven
was cursing louder than ever.
The sharp slap of the strap came
lfaster and faster. Renee's
screams ran together In a con-
tinued stream of sound. Still the
murderous blows went on and
on. The screams changed. They
were suddenly hoarse-like the
cries of an animal.
Paris whirled and leaned his
back against the door. He flung
his arms straight on either side
to keep from falling. He looked
up where q few clouds seemed
to hang motioniess. Dear God
dear God-dear God-don't-
don't let"

DefIation!

Suddenly the terrible crying
sank to q shaking moan and
stopped, but the hideous swish
Of the strap went on-steadily-
relentlessly.
Paris felt himself turn icy
cold. He knew he was going to
be sick. He threw out his hands
as he saw the ground slanting
sharply toward his face.
1t was almost dark when he
opened his eyes. He remember
ed at once where he was and
what had happened. He crawled
few PAGES and listened. The
house was silent. Had they kill

him in gasps. He felt terribly i'll.

keep to the path. 1t kept swing

tore his hands in the rose trel-

He stumbled up the steps Of
the terrace. He heard Annals
startled exclamation as he step
ped into the binding lamplight,
and then his grandmother say

DR.. Gordon came, but Paris
could not sec him clearly. He
heard questions, and tried TO
answer. Faces without bodies
attached TO them seemed to
float over the bed. They came
close, and enormous eyes looked
at him. He tried to get away but
could not. He tried hard to
think. He said Renee-Renee-

happening to her? Maybe she
was still lying on the floor be-
hind that locked door. Maybe
she was lying in bed-all bloody.
He screamed and pushed at DR..

force him back on the pillow,

"I-I heard Mama say he

The terrible yells began again.
Willy threw his books into the
ditch beside the road. His face
was crimson, and he was crying
aloud. Then he began to run to-
ward the house. Hes got TO
quit that. Ill--Tll kill that old
durnfool doctor!"
Paris and Renee watched
Willy as he dashed up the walk
and flung himself at the front
door. He wrenched and pulled
at the door, but II was locked. He
ran around toward the kitchen
door crying. Hes got to quit

walked again but never for very

for a moment until the heavi-

once more TO think. A wagon
ratified along the drive below

his lips. That was 1t! Renee!

Renee to roam the place with
Paris as she used to do, thrash

tears and refusals TO obey him

told Paris nothing until, one
stolen afternoon, they went UP
through the spruce planting and
down the other side to the pond

branches of the big crab apple
