NEW YORK - Wendell Will
kie has stopped fooling around
and begun his drive for the
Presidency. Apparently he feels
that no more can be gained
from behind-the- scenes sparring,
and that the time has come to
start smuggling.
1t was no mere coincidence
that Mr.. Willkie himself and
Gov. William II. Wills of Yer
mont, in apparently independ-
ent nationwide radio broadcasts
on the same day - the eve of
the Republican National Com
mittee's gathering in Chicago
split the Willkie appeal into two
neat Complementary bundles and
presented them to the pubic
almost simultaneously.
Mr.. Willkie has two tasks.
First is to get himself nominal
ed and second is to get himself
elected. The first may prove to
be much the more difficult, be-
cause the 1910 candidates stand
ing with working politicians is
considerably below that with
the rank and file membership OF
his party.
To Governor Wills was assign
ed the opening barrage aimed at
next June's convention. The
Vermont executive is not ex-
pected TO run for office again,
so he was in a position TO speak
his mind very bluntly. This he
did.

ing constructive to say, agreed
on no, candidate but simply
agreed in their hatred of the
outstanding Republican of our
times-Wendell Willkie."
MIR. Willkie himself refrained
from any attack upon those
GOPcrs who are trying 10 pre-
vent his nomination. He made
no new scars that might be
hard to heal. Instead, he began
doing what, if he had done II
consistently since 1910, would
have strengthened him greatly
with those who now arc bit
tcrcst against him. He criticized
the Roosevelt administration.

 On the other hand, there is no law to present her from marrying 8 commoner. Although the Princess fancies may necessarily be restrict ed, and perhaps even directed" !" she can, if she so wishes, follow the dictates of her own heart.

 Intimates of Elizabeth all com ment upon her charm of manner, her m-heartednes and happy disposition. Like her famous an- cestress, Queen Elizabeth, she loves to dance and act. Both princesses are excellent musicians, besides be- ing good linquists and with a cer- tain talent for painting.

ROLL CALL FOR INvAsION-NO. l. - QuartermaSter Ready To Feed And ClOthe Huge Army Of Attack

take a trip. You know where you're going, but not how long you'll be gone.
 You must take along not only your food for the trip, but the stoves anl fuel to cook 1t, the uten- sils to prepare 1t in, the equip ment to wash up with.
 You've got to take enough clothes to replace those you wear out-and you'll wear them out faster than you've ever worn out clothes in your life.
 You've got to take everything you are going to live in and sleep in. Then there are such comparatively minor matters os bathing and laun- dry facilities. You must take both.
 Well, that's the quartermaster's s job. Only instead of doing 1t for one person, he has to do it for hum dreds of thousands. He's responsible for feeding the army, clothing 1t, furnishing its equipage( from tent age to entrenching tools) and its non-aviation gasoline and oil.
 The exact amount which goes in- to the field with each man is a military secret. It probably runs in the neighborhood of quarter of a ton (including vehicles. ammuni- tion, etc). The quartermaster's share in this weight includes over 60 foods and 600 different items of clothing and equipage.
 KNOWS INVASION PLANS
 To do this job, the quartermaS- ter must know all about the opera tion months, if not years, in ad- vance. He needs to know not only general climatic conditions, but ex- actly how many men are going on a water assault. At Dieppe, for ex- ample, 1t was found that in cross ing the Channel the mems cloth ing absorbed several pounds ot water. That extra weight handicap ped them gonig into battle. So lightweight, waterproof throw-away garment was designed for future water assaults.
 The QuartermaSter must know the plans of each assault commander The commander decides what his men shall wear and carry on an assault. The quartermaster must take for them the things they don't carry but which they'll need later.
 He must know, too, almost the exact route of the assault convoy Men going into battle direct from a short water crossing will require very different rations and very different last Shore-mea1 than men going on six-day voyage.
 Scores of men in each of the Services of Supply must know all about the coming operation many many months in advance. The se- curity problem makes it an ad- ditional wonder that an army ever successfully gets into the field oi operations.

On coming of f-age, the Princess will have her won household, which will include a comptroller, equer- ries, ladies-in-waiting and private secretary; and she also will have her own court circular. So far she has only her own personal maid and her own suite in her fathers house which she shares with 15- year-old Princess Margaret Rose.
 Princess Elizabeth already has had a foretaste of her many future duties. On her sixteenth birthday she emerged from the seclusion of childhood by attending the first of the many public ceremonies which will be part of her job-she reviewed a battalian of the crack Grenadier Guards, of which she was made colonel-in-ch
 ROMANCES HUNDRED
 The education of their beloved Princess and ultimately her mar riage-for which she now is eligible are matters of tremendous interest to the British public. For the last two years they have read that Elizabeth has been meeting various young men at private parties, usual ly at Buckingham Palace and at the royal country residence.

to two or three caretree years De- fore deciding serious questions of marriage or careers, Princess Eliza beth must shoulder the very real responsibilities of her new status.
 For some time now, official cir cleS have been discussing problems of precedence and etiquette relat- ing to her position. King George, however, already has had to face four problems concerning his daugh- ter. These are: 1. her future title; 3. the question of National Service; 3. her higher education; {. her pulp lie appearances.
 appearances.
 According to latest reports, King George and Prime Minister Church i'll have decided that she will not be cheated Princess of Wales. There are six dukedoms at present in abeyance-those of Clarence, Edin- burgh, Sussex, Albany, Cumberland and Connaught. But it has been suggested that an entirely new title should be bestowed upon Princess Elizabeth-one which would have a wider imperial significance and would emphasize the new, closer relation of the Dominions to the Crown under the Statute of Vest minister. In all probability, however, she will be made a Knight of the Garter and Thistle, the highest dis tinction in the land.
 COULD DON UNIFORM
 So far as National Service is concerned, at 18 the Princess be- comes eligible for service under the Ministry of Labor scheme, either in the Forces or in indNs- try. On this question the King will consult the cabinet, and 1t is pos- sible that the ministers may recom- mend that her apprenticeship and training for the throne are most important.
 Linked directly with this is the question of Elizabeth'S higher edu- cation. So far, it has been entirely private, and in the last two years 1t has been decidedly more arduous than that of any girl of correspond ing age. Perhaps because of this, it is felt that a period at University where she would meet and contact other girls of her age, would be of great advantage.

Tor the lieutenant governorShin and was unsuccessful in that also.
 The main reason for these failures was that the small town Republi- cans wanted no part of him. There will be another state election this coming November and conditions In the Republican party in the state are not entirely stable. There Is some opposition to Senator Danaher and some possibility of a shift in the makeup of the state ticket. In the event of such an occurrence, 1t is reasonable to as. s1me that MT. Pape still covets 8 place on the ticket.
 It Is still necessary to shed some light on where MT. Olmstead fits into this and that gentleman dropped clue or two recently. In his last sally at the Democrats, MT. Olm- stead took Long Tom Spellacy, for mer mayor of Hartford as his sub- ject. And in reviewing his record, he found that Long Tom was the junior member of a political part nership with the late J. Henry Rora- back. Later he became the senior partner of double machine con- bination with the Republican or- ganization of the city of Hartford. Since that combination went on the rocks in the last city election there, Mir. Spelacy has turned back to the state in his quest to serve the pulp lie and is willing to run for gov- ernor. senator or congressman from Hartford county or at large.
 The weak point of this sympOs-
 illm is that it exposes MT. Pape.
 For whem it comes to double ma-
 chimes, the Hartford model was
 piker compared to our own and
 MT. Pape is the big mogul on the
 Republican side of it. And as
 to office seeking, I can state un-
 officially but I believe authOrita-
 lively that he will seek any one
 of the offices that Mir. Spellacy seeks and will add to them the
 lieutenant g0vernOrship. And that seems to expose the why and- wherefore of MT. Olmstead him. self. In order to realize his am-
 bitiOn, MT. Pape must line up small
 town support. And apparently
 MT. Pape believes that MT. Olm- stead can do that for him.
 That still leaves the question, why does MT. Olmstead do 1t? Is he a babe in the wods, or common gar- den variety of propagandist who will write anything if properly coaxed or persuaded. regret to say that I cannot answer this question just
