For its first major assignment, the 79th drew an important role in the assault on Cherbourg. Smash ing through the town in savage street fighting, the Cross of Lor- raine men beat the rest of the Army into Cherbourg.
 The city surrendered on the 18th of June, and the next day the 18th was full tilt on the way to Le Have de Puits, German supply center for enemy forces in northern France. The battering doughs of the 79th took the town July 8. Turning east from the PalaiSe pocket, which they helped button up, the 79th raced for the Seine. The bewildered Germans rallied, threw everything they had at the Cross of Lorraine men. The divi- sion shook off the attacks and started forward again.
 Shifted to the Belgian sector, the 18th hammered across the Somme within 72 hours in another dazzling, speedy maneuyer. Later, the out fit was moved far to the south, on the Seventh Army flank, and fought its way across the Rhine and deep into Germany.
 Late in 1914, Gen. Patch told the division: "You have achieved sig nificant victory. I have full confi- dence in your ability to continue your relentless pursuit until the final victory"
 That's exactly what the 79th divi- sion did.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON SERvlcEMEN'S PROBLEMS
By DOUGLAS LARSEN (NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Nov. 6 - Question upper-moSt in the minds of wives and relatives of men overseas is when these men will come home.
 Q. My husband Is in the 196th General Hospital, Cherbourg, France. Will he be home for Christmas? He has II points, is top sergeant, has been in five years.
 A. This hospital group is sched- uled to come home, but Army doesn't know the exact date yet. Your husband will come out with it, however, because 70 is now the point score for discharge and those with that number will be brought back as soon as possible.
 Q. How long will boys who now are gOin g0verSeas have to stay? l know that the Army's going to re- you're eligible on two-year service but haven't been over more than five months; what chance would you have for discharge? Does the Army give half points for age?
 A. Two-year service limit is Army's present plan for men in the Army of the United States (dura- ton and six months Army, as diff ferentiated from the Regular Army which will continue in peacetime) However, plan for discharge next month on the two-year basis hasn't been announced. Army doesn't give half points for age; it emphasizes long and arduous service, actual battle participation and dependency in it's point system. It also dis charges for age 38 or older, without regard for service; 35-36-37, with two years.

Court, which is annexed to the
Charter, does not provide for COM
pulsory Jurisdiction. 1t does, how
ever, include an optional clause un-
der which members of the United
Nations may agree in advance to
submit all their justiciable disputes
to the Court for settlement.
The Charter provides that when-
ever disputes are referred to the
Court, Its decisions shall be bind
ing on the parties and that any
member of the United Nations,
party to such dispute, must COM
ply with the decisions of the Court.
If 1t fails to do so the matter may
be brought to the attention of the
Security Council for appropriate ac-
ton.
The International Court will also
have most important part to play
in the further development and
strengthening Of international law,
just as the courts of England and
America have helped to form the
common law. The court will be the
subject of separate testimony be-
fore this committee by Mr.. Green

United Nations organization in tht
Years Immediately ahead, but thai
lit recognizes and confirms power
which a majority of Americans be-
ieye the United States should have

Charter Awaits Ratification.
The Charter itself will come into
force when 1t has been ratified by
the five permanent members of the
Council and a majority of the other
signatory states. Amendments will
come into force when they have
been adopted by two-thirds vote
of the General Assembly or of a spe-
cial conference called for the pur-
pose and have been ratified by two
thirds of the member states, includ-
ing the permanent members of the
Security Council.
1t should be noted that there is
no power of veto over the adop-
tion of amendments. The Security
Council does not vote on amend
ments at all. The power of veto ap-
plies only to their ratification by the
nations concerned
In practice, no important amend
ments to the Charter are likely to be
adopted in the near future unless
there is unanimous, or virtually un-
animous, agreement upon them and
ratification is regarded as assured
The General Assembly is not a legis-
lative body. 1t is an international
meeting of the representatives of
sovereign nations. The act of voting
on an important matter, therefore,
is not likely to take place until all
the means of adjustment usual in
negotiations among nations have
been brought to bear in order to
reach a common viewpoint. At the
San Francisco Conference there was
no veto and the two-thirds rule ap-
piled. Yet the provisions of the
Charter were adopted unanimously
United Nations Defined.
I feel that much of the criticism
of the voting provisions of the
Charter arises from failure to re-
member that the United Nations is
neither federal union nor a world
state and that voting procedures
among its sovereign member ma
tions cannot necessarily be judged
on the same basis as voting pro-
cedures in a State Legislature or
in the Congress.
AS the peoples and governments
gain experience and confidence in
world organization in the years
ahead I hope that they will learn
to apply and adapt to international
affairs many more of the principles
and techniques of democracy. But
I believe it would be fatal to this
hope If we were to attempt now to
go beyond what the nations are
clearly ready to undertake today.
The Charter affords full opportunity
for later amendments whenever a
sufficient majority of the people of
the world is ready to go farther.
