IT WOULD not seem possible,
i but the fact is that the navy
is still short of chaplains. Capt.
Robert D. Workman, chief
chaplain of the the United
States navy. continues to plead
for ministers for. his service.
Before the war. there were
about 100 chaplains Of all de-
nominations in our navy; today,
there are over 1000. But it is
not enough.
The immediate need Is for
400 to 500 additional clergymen.
with the assurance that an
equal number will be required
before the years end.
II is a curiosity Of this war
that the Catholic and Jewish
quotas are always filled: the
various Protestant sects are
running behind.
The Catholics are a disciplined
church and particularly among
the monastic orders, obedience
is rule.
There is no disciplinary body
controlling the Jewish clergy,
each individual being a free
agent to make his terms with
his particular congregation.
Can the Protestant shortage
be due to an unwjllingness of
churches TO guarantee a minis
ter his pulpit after the war;
THE navy recently sent an in
l. spection detachment con-
sisting of Capt. Workman. It.
Comdr. Joshua L. Goldberg.
Jewish chaplain of the third
naval district headquarters in
New York. and Comdr. John r.
Bostlet. Catholic chaplain at
tached to the director OF the
chaplains' corps in Washing
ton, to visit naval men in many
parts of the world.
II was perhaps the first time
in all history that the clergy OF
God, in various expressions OF
faith, travelled together in a
joint mission of mercy and glad
tidings. I can well imagine the
emotional effect Of such a visi-
tation upon sailors or, for that
matter, in some places even the
clergy who. having been taught
that the children of God used
to hate each other. discover
that there is one Father for all
and that these chaplains serve
that Father.
Capt. Workman said of this
tour:
NO wonder the men wor-
shipped seriously. thoughtfully

DASSING by:


Jack Norworth. Erstwhile
vaudeville and musical comedy
star. His name is so often con-
nected with Nora Bayes, who
was his second wife. IL has been
forgotten his first wife was that
very beautiful and brilliant
Louise Dresser.
We also hear so much of for
mer Ziegfeld Follies girls that
the connection of a great many
male comedians with the Follies
is forgotten.
For example, Mr.. Norworth
appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies
Of 1909.
Nora Bayes was IN this edition
of the Follies too. She quit and
was replaced by Eva Tanguay.
Mary Margaret Mcbride. Bril-
liant broadcast. Mary. who
freely admits she is "A years old,
Is not married.
]. C. Nugent. Veteran thes-
plan. One of Broadway and
Hollywood's few pipe smokers.
Mr.. Nugent. originally a cigar
smoker. took to pipe smoking
upon request of the girl he
loved. That was as years ago.
When a man will cease enjoying
cigar TO take to putting at a
pipe just because "a girl asks
him TO. that is really love.

Answer to Question No.

Answer To Question No. 1
No. just the opposite. There
is a deep-seated wish that they
had been born boys, or so the
psycho-analysis say.
Answer to Question No. 2
Certainly. 1t is one form of
egotism, and egotism is always
one form of cowardice. The
person who leases another gets
his satisfaction out Of feeling
superior 10 the person he is
teasing. It is precisely the
same feeling that a savage
(such as a Jap or NaZi) gets
out of torturing his victims.
Teasing is Just a mild form OF
torture. II gives the teaser

MAJOR DE SEVERSKY

THE German robot plane or

orally tagged in the press as a
nuisance weapon. This assign
ment to a secondary place is
justified. Though the device is
ingenious and another proof Of
German scientific skill. the man.

cannot possibly prove decisive.
This is fairly typical OF the
history of German weapons in
this war. II is on the whole a

grateful to fate for this flaw in
the German military mentality.
Every country, including our
own, Is trying to prove that its
own scientists were the first to
invent the robot warplane.
Nearly all of them are telling
the truth. since the idea has
been familiar to aviation circles
for many years. In this particu-
lar case, Germany has not in

no point in denying that the
Germans were the first to put
it into practice.

Air
Power

IN OUR day and age a really
L new discovery very seldom
occurs. The basic principles OF
important new developments
are known to every one.
Whether this or that nation
acts first to apply those prin-
ciples is often a reflection OF
their needs and their military
philosophy. The self-confidence
of the western nations, and the
conservatism of their military
leaders, held them back in the
matter of technical innovations.
The Germans, IL should be
acknowledged. have sprung one
chronological surprise after an
other. Fortunately they have
been backward in the tactical
and strategic application OF
their new weapons as eonsis-
tently as they have been ahead
in devising them. This in turn
gave US the possibility to neu-
tralize their scientific advantage
through our greater quantity
and better strategy.
IF THE Germans had matched
L their military innovations
with proper strategy. the war
might have ended in their favor
as early as 1910. Had we
directed our cumulative advan-
tages into the proper strategic
channels, the war might have
ended with victory for our side
in 1912. But both belligerent
groups were timid in the ex-
ploitation of aerial warfare,
thus prolonging the struggle for
years.
The Nazis were the first to
recognize the potentialities Of
modern air power and the first
to build a war machine geared
for the extensive use of aviation.
Luckily for us, they failed to
envision the new force as a
strategic instrument. concen-
trating instead on the narrow
tactical use of the airplane,
mainly as a dive bomber, to
clear a path for the ground
forces.
