WASHINGTON-T first time met Bob Allen, he was fighting. It was at a press conference in the State Department. Frank B. Kel- logg, then Secretary of State under Calvin Coolidge, stood at one end of the long, blue, baize table in the Diplomatic Ante-Room, and at the other end stood a red-headed, bel ligerent newspaperman who pepper ed Kellogg with barrage of ques- tions as to why he had sent U. S. Marines to Nicaragua, why he was bulldozing Mexico, why he was DICK ing on little nations.
 That was the first time l saw Bob Allen, and we have been work ing together almost ever since.
 Today he leaves me to continue fighting-to continue the crusade he has been fighting all his life for the little fellow. the small busi- nessman. the unemployed, the public which sometimes gets it in the neck
 Only in this case, Bob will be crusading as an officer in the Unit ed States Army for the underdoe nations which Hitler has trampled in the dust.

came more and more to the reali-
cation that this girl had com
pletely taken his heart, that she
had become indispensable to him.
For the first time in his life, he
began to wonder; he had always
thought that he knew all about
life, all about women, whom he
had never considered more than
a pleasant pastime. And now
this little girl, this unsophisticat-
ed child from the province had
become necessity to him, had
captivated his heart completely.
I love my regiment he thought
by himself, L love the service in
the army, my horses and my fel-
low-officers; beyond that, every
thing else is either disagree
able obligation or a pastime. How
can I let myself go in this fool
ish manner! What about my
plans for the military academy.
what about my mission with an
embassy? There lies my future,
but to marry, oh no! Why should
I marry now already, anyhow
why should l bury myself on my
estate and breed children! My
father did not marry before he
was 40 years of age, why should

lOlitschka; she had come to ST.
Petersburg to study music; she
had come to ST. Petersburg to
study music; she had not come
to look for a husbandw
Yes, these were his reasonings
weren't they plain and logical
There was only one catch to it
Mind and heart do not always
march in unison!
| In this battle between head
and heart, there arose an anger
almost a hatred, against Olitsch-
ka whom he considered the cause
of his carefully laid-out plans for
his future being endangered. But
what did it help? Day after day
his heart drove him to her. What
did his regiment, his friends, his
career matter when love, tender
ness and understanding were
waiting for him: He did not even
care what happened to his much
vaunted self-possession, his in
dependence. He wished to live
only for and with his Olitschka

at her home again as usual, he
was informed that his lady did
not feel we'll and wished to be
excused. So he spend the eve.
ming with his friends, and while
sitting among his convivial COM
panions, the decision came sud.
denly upon him to tear asunder
the love-net which had drawn a.
round him: the friendly supper
ended by becoming a drinking
bout lasting the whole highland
it extended, thereafter, over days
and weeks: Champagne, gypsies,
horses.
Finally it had to come to an
end he sobered up only to real
ize that he could not live without
his Olitschka. But PRIDE, fool
ish pride prevented him from go
ing now to his darling to ask
her forgiveness. Instead he took
a leave of absence and made a
trip to Western Europe to find
mental peace and possible free
dom. But it was of no avail; a
few weeks later he was back
again, wondering what would
happen now. He was afraid to
see Olitschka because he knew
perfectly we'll that he would
kneel before her and confess that
he belonged all to her, to her
alone. He decided, for the time be-
ing, to avoid seeing her and take
up his former life. Although
feeling very unhappy, he succeed
ed in getting full control over
himself.

Years!
