WHERE u. IS. TROOPS REMAIN

Of the 677,000 troops allowed the
Army under the budgetary limit set for the
next fiscal year. there will be $4,000
men overseas, under present development
plans.
Lieutenant General J. Lawton Col
Inns, Vice-Chief of Staff, discloses that
plans call for total of 1877 900 men in the
Far East, $4,000 in Europe, 1920 in
Alaska, 5000 in Trieste, $4,000 in the
Caribbean area and 1000 in Hawaii
With total of ten combat divisions,
the Army has allocated four combat di-
visions to the command of General Doug
las Macarthur in Japan and only one for
General Lucius D. Clay, commander of
the European Theater. The other five
combat divisions will remain in the United
States. 1t should be noted that some of the
divisions are not yet at full strength
In view of the responsibility of the
United States, in connection with its du-
| ties in foreign countries. the disposition
of our troops seems to be somewhat
| modest. Certainly, there is no overburd-
| ance in Europe and what we have in Ger
| many constitutes no menace to Russia and
| represents only minor obstacle to any ad-
| vance of the Red Army.

VETERANS PENSIONS

1t is estimated that there are 18,50O,-
600 veterans of two World Wars. ~,
Representative John Rankin Of Missis-
sippi is the leader of movement in Con-
gress to provide a $90-a-month- pension for
all these veterans when they reach 65.
While it seems like whopper of a
notion it is pointed out that it is less cost
ly pension plan than that suggested by the
American Legion.
There is no doubt but what the peo-
pie of the country will sustain any reason
able increase in the pension system. But
the general suppostion in Washington is
that Rankin is shooting the rockets too
high.

ENGLISH, GOOD AND cHoPPED-UP

IL s--&.s3 49,.
The Linguaphone Institute of Anleri-
ca,has listed 10 United States cities. which
it considers as having 'the best American
speech habits"
In New York City, we heard residents
poke fun at Key West and other parts of.
the South for using the inclusive "you-all."
We remarked that we had heard some New
York City high school graduates employ
the grating "youse" when addressing a
group and wished to make the remark in
elusive. f #. 'f-
1t is easy to determine the reason for
using each term, though the .youse" is bar
barious compared with "you-all." Let us
assume person is conyersing with four or
five friends. He feels that if he: uses the
pronuon you alone, his listeners may
think it is addressed to only one of them.
So, as an assurance that all of them are in
Guided in the remark he says "you-all, y
the equivalent of "all of you''
We have heard the term ''you-all" dis
cussed pro and con, with good many men,
well versed in English, maintaining that
the term is not improper when applied to
more than one person. However that may
be, we can see no justification whatever
for New York's ''youse''
"You," because of its singular and
plural forms, unlike the Quakers' thou and
We, has resulted in another form, besides
''you-alP' and ''youse" to distinguish the
singular from the plural. Negroes in the
Bahamas and some of their descendants in
Key West, use "yenner," an extension of
"ye," when they wish to make their remark
, inclusive, that is, if they address a person
alone, they say ''you," but if they speak to
two or more, they employ ''yenner." We
have heard also some Negroes and white
folks in Key West, who stem from the Ba-
hamas, use "youmongy' when they adj
dress more than one. That term is con-
traction and transpostion of "among
you.'
The English language is steadily ex-
panding. The day will come when some
word will be agreed on to distinguish the
singular from the plural of you
Finally, good English is spoken in
every city in the United States. Conversely,
chopped-up English is spoken in all cities,
including those listed by the institute.

The final vote in the Senate occurred
on March 10. 1920 when fifty-seven Sem

The best way to serve God is to
help our fellowman-for a servant
Of God must be a Friend of Man.
Kind words are Lipservice-but
good deeds will build better world
America is the best country on earth
but it is not good enough if we can
build it better. We can; we will; we
must.
Better Americans will make Amer

make Americans better-for as we
sow, so shall we also reap.
