FIRST IN CLASS

First in his class at West Point, in 1903,
he was to become 16 years later the young
est superintendent of West Point in the his
tory OF the Academy. AS commander of the
Rainbow Division, which he named he con-
Quoted trench raids in a garrison cap and
armed only with a riding crop so his men
would know he was with them and not be-
hind them" In $780, at the age OF so. he
was the youngest Chief Of Staff in the Arnys
history.
He fought with Congress for military pre-
paredness against the gathering war clouds
that he had long foreseen. His was the un-
pleasant responsibility OF evicting the Bonus
marchers from Washington. He performed
1t without loss Of life or even serious injury
to veterans or troopers. He started the mod
ernization of the United States Army. Going
back to his old stamping ground Of the Phil
ippines in 1885 he set about the organization
Of the Philippine Army. For this task he
was awarded by the Commonwealth the gold
baton OF Field Marshal-the first American
ever to possess that rank.

In HIS BLOOD

II Douglas Macarthur has found life con-
tinuousy dramatic, with heavy accent on
its Far Eastern aspect, it is due in large meas
ure to his heritage
The Philippines are in his blood.
1t was his father, the late Lieut.. Gen.
Arthur Macarthur, who, as Governor Gen.
>eral at the turn Of the century, set the islands
IN the road to self-government, won the in
tense personal loyalty Of the Filipinos that
has been the Macarthur reward ever since.
Drama, too, stalked his father A Civil
War recruit from Wisconsin at II, man
who saw considerable military action during
his life, he died at 81 In Milwaukee as he
was delivering fiery Grafton to the veterans
OF his old regiment at their 50th annual
reunion.

MILITARY GENIUS

Twelve days after Japan struck at Pearl
Harbor Macarthur was promoted by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to full General in command
Of our forces in the Far East. The appoint
ment was received in the islands with high
enthusiasm, President Manuel Quezon de-
claring it "a tribute to man of rare military
genius"
He didn't say much, but what he had to
say was said with a full appreciation of
soldiers duty. Inducing the Filipino Air
Force into the u S. Army he remarked: "Only
those are fit to live who are not afraid to die"
When Capt. Colin Kelly was killed he paid
this simple and eloquent tribute: "He died
unquestioning and accomplishing, with faith
in his heart and victory his end"

1t was to the Philippines that the latter's
military-minded son went Immediately upon
his graduation from West Point. He has
served three tours Of duty there. There his
mother died. There he wooed and won his
second wife, the former Jean Marie Fair

1t was there his young son, Arthur-the
third Arthur MacArthur-was born three
years ago. The happiest years Of Douglas Mac
Arthur's life have been lived in the Philip
pines More than any other place they rep
resent "home" to him
1t is little wonder, then, that he is fight
ing so desperately in defense of the Philip
pines.
1t is little wonder that he accepted with
alacrity the assignment in 1885, at the close
of his appointment as Chief of Staff Of the
United States Army, to organize the Com
monwealth's defenSes. He welcomed the op-
portunity Of creating a new army among the
people for whom he had developed great
affection over the years. And the affection
was reciprocated. The Filpinos liked his en-

Pete Reiser returned to the

Major League batting leader
ship to Ted Williams of the Bos-

Williams, who has collected

en- points ahead Of his nearest
rival in the American League
and four points better than Rel
ser, who tops the National
