Dr. Henry S.

However, he thinks it more probable that the Ha- wailans and Egyptians worked. out the problem of rough cutting with hard stone in much the same way,' but entirely independently. | 1 | Dogs in Celebration.

Leroy Herron, commanding officer of the 313th Regiment of Field Artillery, Organized Reserv. the regimental adjutant, Capt. Percy McCoy, and Lieut. Col. John Scott., executive officer for the local units of the organized reserves, attend- ed the meeting last week of the 1st Battalion of that regiment, in Baltimore, The 2d and 3d Bat- tallons are loca- ted in Washing- ton, while the 1st is 'in _Baltimore Lieut. Col. George H. Baird is the acting execative officer for the battalion. to, be the consensus of this year's Col., It seems opinion that tralning of the National Guard has been the best that h ever been experlenced by that component of the service. Representatives of the mili- a bureau who visited the training camps cxpress themselves as highly pleased with the businesslike atmos- phere that prevailed and the spirit generally displayed by both the com- missioned and_enlisted personnel of the National Guard units. It ‘must bo admitted that the em- ciency of the training of today in the Infantry regiments is due in no small measure to the graduates of the Infantry School at Fort Benning who are on duty with those organiza- tions. The chief of infantry has sent some of the best of the graduates to duty with the National Guard, and the policy of doing <o is reflected in the big work that belng ac- complished throughout the service. These officers go through a strenu- ous course of tralning and instruction the Infantry School and when they sraduate at that fnstitntion they are capable of going to a National Guard organization and putting Into prac tical use the doctrines and princlples that they have learned at the school. As time goes on and more officers through the Institution it | probable that every officer on dut: with the National Guard will be graduate of the school. First Lieut.

On that occasion it was directed that a committee of four officers of the National Guard be appointed, of which the president of the association should be one, to request the Secretary of War to call these officers to active duty under the provisions of section 5 (B) of the na- tional defense act for the purpose of studying amendmenis to law which would provide for the issuance to all officers of the Naational Guard a ‘commission in the Army of the United States,” which would be effective both' in peace and war, and which would make -possible assign- ment of such officers to any com- ponent of the Army of the United States. Cu i expected that the National ¥ uard officers assigned to this duty, functioning as members of the War Department general staff. will in- clude Maj. Gen. William Gray Pric of Pennsyivania: Brig. Gen. Milton A Rickord of Maryland, who is the newly elected president of the tional Guard Association, and Brig. Ward of New York. In the resolutions adopted at the onvention it was stated that the National _Guard Assoclation, _assem- bled at New Orleans and later at In- dianapolis, went on record in favor of providing for the commissioning of all National Guard officers in the Army of the United States. The nec- essary legislataion was prepared and presented .to the War Department with a request for a study of the situation. It has been pointed out that, not- withstanding the fact that Gen. Pershing and Gen. Rickards, chief of the - militia bureau, have expressed willingness to indorse the legisla- tion as soon &s drafted, nothing ap- pears to have been accomplished. It is further stated that the executive committee for thix association (the National Guard) was requested by the War Department to accept in lieu of the proposed legislation a form of commission purporting to Do in the Army of the United States, when in law it is a commission in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, which the executive committee declined to accept as not satisfying the needs of the National Guard component of the Army of the United States. The convention_ reaffirmed Its posititon taken at New Orleans and Indian- apolis conventions and notified the ‘War Dogln.ment that the association insists that the wishes of the conven- tion be carried: out in full, to which ond the request was transmitted to the Secretary of War and at once spproved by him.

This and the matter of the commissioning of offi- ers are announced as “issues of ital import to the active military ¥ The draft of new regulations on this subfect has encountered considerable criti- clsm from National Guard officers, notably in the methods su; the determination of individual quali- fication and _the requirements im- posed upon National Guard officers in order to establish eligibility for appointment.

C., DECEMBER 2, Reviews of New Books THE STORY OF THE BIBLE. By Hendrik Willem Van Loon. Il- lllxu;l;lled, New York: Boni & Live- ght. MPLE proof is already on rvecord that IHendrik Van Loon possesses the gift of story telling. He knows how to pick telling scenes and events. He knows low to project these in live words that selze upon the interest and hold it in that tension of sus pense which stands as the high mark of the story teller. The gift is in prime working order in “The Story of the- Bible.” One is con- vinced that the reading of this story would make a natural and reason- able approach to the Bible, now so generally lacking. To the most of us the Bible is, in effect. something let down from heaven by the good God for our mystified guldance. That we do not understand it is one of the proofs of its divine origin. Our sole business in respect to it is belief and acceptance. Now hero Mn. Van Loon tells the story of R real people, the Jews developing as all people have deveioped, both ma- terlally and spiritually, out of the demands and opportunities of their physical surroundings, coupled with tha instinct of human fear that turns men for succor to some power greater than their own. When, in this history of the Jews, the author reaches the time of Christ he holds to’his plan of setting Jesus in the natural surroundings of his own time And place. In n word, he has res- cued the actual story of the Jews from its setting of poetry, imagery and bewildering ceremonial. In ef- fect, he made reality stand clear out of much that is clearly unreal and non-essential. A grown person finds _the story illuminating and restoring. It will give children the main lines in a great story, leaving its poetlc mystical content all the richer when the time comes for it enjoyment and acceptance. THE JORDAN rah Millin. New Boni right.

In these mystery tales Randolph Mason. lawyer, takes the place of ll\e] Qetectives who have operated so en- ergetically, if not always so con- vincingly, since Conan Doyle, by way of Sherlock Holmes, revived the tra- dition of the great detective and gave to his work a pseudo-scientific turn. Randolph Mason specializes in finding loopholes In the law for the escape of victims from its seemingly flawless front. An admirable practice that would be in real life. That {s, obvi- ously, what ‘this author thinks, too. And in these substautial and interest- ing stories such Is the theory upon Which matters turn. However, there is no suggestion of a lesson to teach here. That comes by indirection. Live stories, these, through which moves the figure of Randolph Mason, 2 man of whom any writer might be rather proud. We know this man, for We have seen him before in the Mel- ville Post stories, We shall be glad to see him again. THE BIG HEART. By Jokn G. Bran- don. New York: Brentamo's.
