Findinq the Best Man

Up to a certain point it is pos
sible to agree whole-heartedly with
spokesmen for the Firemen's Asso-
citation and the City Fire Fighters
Association in their plea that a
qualified" member of the District
Fire Department be selected for the
position of Fire Marshal, to be left
vacant soon by the resignation of
Calvin G. LAUDER. 1t is sound practice
to fill the higher positions in the de-
partment by promotion. 1t should be
done every time there is a vacancy
provided qualified men for promo
ton are available.
But it is little difficult to follow
the same Spokesmen when they reg
lister their unqualified opposition to
selection of anybody outside the uni
formed personnel of the department.
The Fire Marshal should be qualified
by education and experience to fill
highly technical position, requiring
knowledge of structural engineering
in its relation to fire prevention and
other subjects not necessarily related
to administration of the department.
When qualifications for the position
were raised in 1929, examinations
were held throughout the United
States to obtain the best man who
could be found. Mr.. LAUDER came
out on top and was appointed.
That is what the job calls for now
the best man available. If he can
be found within the department, his
knowledge of local conditions and
personnel will give him an added ad-
vantage. But it would be idle to con-
tend that membership in the local
department is the single considera-

Salute to ANSCOL

A significant step in the profess
sional education of our future Army,
Navy and Marine Corps staff officers
was represented in the assembly in
Washington this week of thirty off,
GERS, representing those services, to
begin phase II of the newly estab-
lished Army and Navy Staff College
known as "ANSCOL." Phase l began
two months ago. when the students

GERS above the rank Of major-re-
ported for special courses at the
Command and General Staff School,
Fort Leavenworth: the Army Air
Forces School of Applied Tactics at
Orlando. Fla. and the Naval War
College at Newport. Navy and Ma
rine officers learned about Army staff
organization at Leavenworth and
went from there to Orlando; Army
ground officers spent a month at
Newport and then joined their Navy
colleagues at Orlando. while the
Army air officers went from a
months training at Orlando to New
port. For the'next two months this
initial class will work in classrooms
here in Washington on some of the
problems Of co-ordinated operations.
In way 1t Is strange that this Is
the first organized course for training
officers, in the lower ranks, at least,
In the intricacies of amphibious war
fare and other combined movements
It is strange because this type of
warfare ~has become so vital now
because of the nature of our strategy,
that 1t is difficult to conceive of any
other way of fighting war on such
widespread fronts. Yet the training
OF our staff officers. up to this time,
has been confined almost wholly to
their distinctive realms. Until a
short time ago, Army officers imper-
sonated Navy officers-gold stripes
and all-at the Command and Gen.

eral Staff School at Leavenworth
when amphibious operations were
under study. For no Navy officers
were available. 1t was doubtless the
same at the Navy War College, when
it came to the study of co-ordinated
movements with land troops Until
recently, Of course, there were too
few air officers to spread around in
staff work at all.
The great Importance of unified
and co-ordinated operations in the
future, however, persuaded the joint
chiefs of staff some time ago to in
itiate a course for staff training in
this type of warfare. The pioneering
class of thirty officers, who met here
for the first time on Thursday, un-
doubtedly is the vanguard of many
other classes, to grow larger with
experience in curricula. There are
those who profess to see in the new
course the small beginnings of the
future military establishment, when
the old lines dividing the services
will become less pronounced and
specialists in different types of op-
Grafton will take the place of soldiers,
sailors, marines and the air forces.
without looking that far ahead, how
ever, even the layman can appre-
ciate the Importance now of ANSCOL,
realizing that in a short time none
but it's graduates should be eligible
for staff work in the higher echelons.

No one who really understands life
thinks this way, but there are millions
who do not understand. The wisdom of
the ages, of nearly all the great religions,
Buddhism, the Koran. the Old Testa-
ment. could make them wise. And
christianity could make them wise with
startling clearness. For in thousand
ways. Of which st. Paul's Words to the
Philippians are only one, it could drive
home the most salutary Of all lessons
that happiness is product of virtuous
character
Conditions contribute to happiness,
but they do not make it. Conditions of
sun and air contribute to the life of a
plant, but they are not the seed. The
seed is the principle of life of the plant.
Virtue Is the principle of happiness in
the human soul. Normally speaking,
religion is the planter of that seed.
The laws of mans being have not been
changed by the things he has come to

WHERE PEACE ABIDES
By the Rep. JOHN X. CARTWRIGHT. s. r. D., Ph d.
Pastor Of the Church Of the Immaculate Conception,

When st. Paul was in his Roman
prison about the year 63 his apostolic
career was near its close. It was natural
for his mind to turn back to the early
days Of his ministry. So 1t was then he
wrote one of the most beautiful Of his
letters. 1t was addressed to his first
European children in the faith, the
people Of Philippi. 1t ended with an
insistent exhortation to Christian glad
ness: Rejoice in the Lord always: again
I say rejoice. - And may the peace of
God, which surpasses all understandings.
guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus"
1t has always been felt with st. Paul
that christianity implies gladness and
peace. But not all people who believe
this realize the principles on which that
peace is founded. Some seem to think
that peace rests only on the thing called
will to believe" a sentimental and
Pollyannish attitude. Others, equally
superficial, attach happiness to what
they call conditions"
ot. 1dul kIicW WIeTS peace comes
from: Out of soul in harmony with the
principles of its being. So he added
For the rest, brethren, whatever things
are true, whatever honorable, whatever
just, whatever holy. whatever of good
repute, If there be any virtue, If any
thing worthy of praise, think upon these
things. ''' These things practice. And
the God Of peace will be with YOU"
The true, the honorable, the just, the
1ovable. These things practice. Then
God will grant His peace. For these
things, these virtues Of the human soul
not sentiments and not conditions, are
the seeds Of peace.

today needs more to learn Of the wise

What About DoiIies?

In laying down the law to the res

WhistIer's Little Cosmos

If the Peacock Room were shown
only once in a century, all Washing
ton-perhaps all the world-would
crowd the Freer Gallery to see it.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler, great
personality as we'll as great artist,
made it thing of beauty because it
had been, until his master hand
transformed it, incredibly ugly. Such
is the service which creative genius
is supposed to render to mankind.
The social purpose of art is, in that
respect, reformatory in character.
And Whistler was competent
above all other men of his time for
the doing of work Intentionally cor
rective. He set the example of in
cisive wit adopted by Oscar Wilde
and Bernard Shaw, Ambrose Bierce
and Gilbert Chesterton. But he was
not satisfied with mere pyrotechnics
of criticism. The Importance of his
controversy with John Ruskin lies
in the fact that he was right and
the verdict confirmed him in his at
titude. Yet he bore his success with
truer modesty than he pretended.
In effect he acknowledged the JUS
tice of his opponents complaint. He
never again was smart" for the sake
of being smart, Clever" for the sake
of cleverness. The experience of the
trial was educational. He had made
it dangerous to be intolerant of "im-
pressions," but he likewise rendered
it perilous to be adventurous in
dealing with the public-the army of
average people who like what they
like without being able to say why,
yet are not negligible on that
account.
In the Peacock Room Whistler
built a little cosmos of his own,
nearer to the hearts desire" The
motivation was that Of providing a
harmonious setting for one of his
fairest jewels - the composition
which he called La Princesse du
Pays de la Porcelaine," executed in
1854. It had been hung in the man
sion of F. r. Leyland, a wealthy ship
owner, in London. but, as T..
Martin Wood explains, whistler
could not reconcile himself to its
appearance against the valuable
Spanish leather on the walls" The
owner of the house gave permission
to treat" the setting and went
down into the country. When he
returned it was to find that Whistler
was painting over the whole Of the
room" The result came to Amer
lea by courtesy of Charles L. Freer,
a kindly friend of the artist, who
paid homage to him by buying not
only the Peacock Room, but no less
than Ct oil and At watercolor paint
ings, 1T drawings, 683 etchings, 1874
Autographs, Al pastels, 38 plates of
copper-the largest collection of
Whistler productions in existence
under a single roof anywhere. The
gallery on the Mall in which this
material now is displayed perhaps
would be better known to the gen.
erality of Washingtonians If it were
not SO easily available.

From the London Daily telegraph and Morning
Post
Where we have scored over the enemy
is precisely in having a consistent air
policy, reflected in the character of our
aircraft production. Productive capacity
Is now SO enormous, thanks to our own
efforts and the capacity of the United
States that we can pursue the central
thread of forming and applying continu-
Gus and devastating bombing power
without making inroadS upon an equally
massive development of fighter strength
Taken in conjunction with the working
out of system which makes the air war
not separate affair but an operation
dovetailed into sea and land warfare, it
may be fairly claimed that this policy
has outstripped the enemy both tn STRAIT

DRAFTING Futhers

The decision of the Selective Serv-
Ice Bureau of the War Manpower
Commission to adjust draft quotas
on Nationwide basis to defer the
induction of 'pre-Pearl Harbor"
fathers until all available men in
other categories have been taken
into the service will cause a lifting
of eyebrows in several quarters.
This is the essential provision of
the Kilday bill. which was passed
overwhelmingly in the House only to
be blocked in the Senate on the plea
OF Selective Service officials that it
involved impossible administrative
dlft1culties. If that was true last
spring, how does it happen that
Selective Service is proposing now to
adopt of its own volition the policy
that 1t said would have been un-
workable If written into legislation
by Congress? The answer possibly
lies in the threat by Senator Wheeler
to demand the reassembly of Con-
gress to 60 into the whole question
of drafting fathers-a question which
has been enveloped in almost un-
believable confusion.
Part of the trouble results from
the misguided efforts of the Man.
power Commission to use Selective
Service as club to force men into
essential occupations. AS conse-
quence of this history there un-
doubtedly will be those who will
wonder whether this latest threat to
induct fathers is not renewed effort
to coerce them into seeking draft
exempt jobs in war plants. Another
cause lies in the curious statements
which have been emanating from
Selective Service headquarters for
long period of time. AS far back as
last March these officials were saying
that they were already "scraping the
bottom of the barrel" for single men,
but here they are, in August, an
nouncing a plan for another stop
gap deferment of fathers. And this
within three weeks of Secretary
Stimson's announcement In London
that the Army has virtually fin
ished recruiting" and is concentrat-
ing on training.
1t has never been the view of any
responsible commentator that fathers
ought to be deferred from military
service merely because they are
fathers. Our primary concern must
be the winning of the war, and if
there is a genuine military need for
the induction of fathers to achieve
that end. they ought to be inducted.
But there Is every reason to protest
against the vacillating policy of
Selective Service in this respect-a
policy which leads fathers to believe
in March that they are on the eve of
induction, only to learn in August
OF some new plan of temporary de-
ferment. In these circumstances
there would be many to welcome
congressional intervention in this
matter of drafting fathers if by that
process the men with children could
be given some definite idea as to
when, If ever, they are going to be
taken into the Army.
