Snappy cadets in blue soon will
be marching again in the city'i
high schools, as they have beer
marching every year since 1882.
They are of the same stock that
paraded with the Grand Army oi
the Republic in SO, that escorted
President Cleveland on his inau-
guratlon day and stood at attention
at the Washington Monument dedi.
cation in '85.
They are the DR.. Luther Reichel-
derfers of today, the DR.. Reichel-
derfer who was the first cadet COL
onel IN '93, and later became a Dis
trict Commissioner They are the
successors to the cadets of '27 whose
commissions were presented by Gen
Douglas Macarthur, and they will
march in the footsteps of some
World War II heroes who did not
come home.
Peak Year Expected.
This year the Washington High
School Cadet Corps will be on the
conlback from a wartime enroll
ment that hast year dwindled to
$500 in the white schools and 1000
in the colored schools.
1t. Col William E. Barkman, pro-
fessor of military science and tactics
in the white schools, is setting his
enrolment sights for 2,400, which
would be 200 more than the corps
peak year. 1t. Col. Howard o. At
wood, who holds comparable posi-
ton among the colored cadets, also
looks for an increase.
Both also visualize better days
for their girl cadets, about 1,100 of
whom were in uniform last year.
Eight Regiments Envisioned.
Col. Barkman is shooting for a
regiment at each of the eight high
schools under his jurisdiction. Last
year only Western, with $50 cadets
could muster regiment, thus elm
mating the annual regimental COM
petition.
Western mad four companies. Cen
trail, Mckinley and Eastern produced
three companies each; Roosevelt
Woodrow Wilson, AnacoStia ano
Coolidge had two each. The voca-
tional schools of Bell and Chamber
lain manned company each.
Company competition has long
been the spice of the corps. Each
spring the grand finale of a seasons
rigorous training has sent the crack
teams into battle for supremacy al
Griffith Stadium.
Among the colored schools, Arm
strongs COS cadets led the field last
year. Dunbar had 236 riflemen
Cardozo 135 and Phelps 62. Since
Col. Atwood took over the inStruc-
ton in 1888, enlistment" of coloreo
cadets has nearly doubled.
Cadet leaders believe the corps
ranks will in out this year because
the wars end will release more boys
who were obliged to work after
school. That's when the white
cadets do their training-from 3:3(
to pm on Mondays and Thurs
days. The colored boys start Their
work at am. on Tuesdays ano
Thursdays.
Hope for New Rifles.
They also hope the War Depart
ment, which furnishes some of the
equipment as well as field manuals
to guide the training, will come
through with some new rifles of the
MI Garand variety, or at least thu
'03 Springfield. Right now ths
schools soldiers are marching with
Enfields, which are little heavy fol
teen ayers to tote around.
The war just closed will have its
influence on training. Col. Barkman
wishes to place greater emphasis on
combat formations developed during
World War II. This Is in line with
the wishes of the War Department.
Col. Atwood's prospectus calls for
more physical training and map
reading, as well as training in citi-
zenship.

man literature, Hauptmann was
planning to move soon to Berlin at
the invitation Of the Soviet Military
Government.
Hauptmann visited the United
States in 1882. He was received at
the City Hall in New York and Co.
lumbia University conferred an
honorary degree on him.
Gerhart Hauptmann frequently
was characterized as the greatest
literary genius of modern Germany.
AS a vivid portrayer of social
misery and a writer of fantastic
dramas, his fame spread rapidly be-
yond the confines of Germany, espe-
cially to the United States, England
and France, where his works were
staged with extraordinary success.
He won the Nobel Prize for Lit
erature in 1912.
In 1885 Hauptmann published his
first book, "Promethidenlos," which
he Withdrew from publication soon
afterward There followed several
voyages to Italy and other Mediter-
ranean countries.
Drama Was Sensation.
Hauptmann created sensation
with his "Vor Sonnenaufgang," a
gruesome, realistic drama. Rejected
by all the theaters and vitality de-
leted by the censor, the play finally
was produced in Berlin in 1889 by
the then newly founded "Freie
Buehne." patterned after the The
alter Libre of Paris. The novelty
caused public demonstration and
q turmoil Of conflicts in the literary
world.
Settling down at Erkner, forest
suburb of Berlin, Hauptmann
launched one literary product after
another. He was awarded the
Grillparzer Prize in 1896 for his
"Hannele," a dramatic fantasy, and
captured the same honor three years
later with his "Fuhrmann Hent-
schel."
Hauptmann's "Die Weber" was
produced as The Weavers" in the
United States and England with
great success and also was staged in
Paris. Another which also had
successful run In this country was
die Versunkene Glocke" (the
Sunken BelD which also was pro-
duced as an opera with music by
Heinrich Zoellner.
Hamlet Adaptation Made.
In 1927, Hauptmann conceived the
idea of adapting Shakespeare's
Hamlet" as it is now produced, to-
the lost original manuscript by in
Producing several novel features.
The fourth act was entirely rewrit-
ten and Hamlet's famous monologueI
ITO be or not to be- was transferred
from the third to the beginning of
the fifth act The Hauptmann
adaptation, which had its premiere
at the Dresden National Theatre,
was almost universally protested by
the critics, but public opinion was
divided.
Among his principal works besides
those mentioned were: "Frieden-
fest; "Einsame Menschen":: the
comedies, college Champion" and
der Biberpelz," with the latter's
sequel. Der Rote Hahn: a farce,
"Schluck und Jau," and the drama,
Michael Kramer" There also were
several novels.
Among honors accorded him were
a Phi. D. degree by Oxford University
and election as honorary doctor of
the University of Berlin.
Some years ago Hauptmann re-
turned to his native Silesia as a
place of abode He established his
literary workshop in the seclusion
Of q rustic villa at Agnetendorf, at
the foot of the Giant Mountains. His
principal hobby was collecting first
editions and rare coins. He also in
dulged in the study of science and in
scientific experimentation as a pas
time.
