This startling announcement was made pub- lic this week by the War Department, and is in accordance with the provi- sions of the act approved March 4, 1933, which authorizes appropriations for the support of the military estab- lishment for the 1934 fiscal year. In other words, this means that District Reserve officers coming under _this cal may qualify for a certificate of capacity, but they cannot be pro- moted, and they will not be eligible to attend any of the approaching camps this Summer. This provision will also prevent any resident of the District who is recelving a pension or disabil- ity allowance or compensation from the Government from being_appointed an officer in the Officers’ Reserve Corps during the 1934 fiscal period.

H | How she and dad had laughed and | {how Jack and Jules and mother had laughed about it! | _“Mr. Russell” otherwise the Kaid | Raisul Abd'allah Karim, son and heir | to the great Kaid Haroun Abd'allah Ka- rim, the most powerful man in Mo- rocco, greater far than the Sultan him- | self and able to defy mcre than two or three European powers when he could not play them off one against the | other. | “Mr. Russell,” late distinguished alumnus of the Paris Sorbonne, full- | blooded Moor who spoke English, French and Spanish as perfectly as he did his native Arabic. Strange that the true, pure-bred Moor, a princely descendant of a hun- dred 'princes, warriors, corsairs, leaders | and rulers of armies and of fleets, should be the cne who sat there in'a chair of Buropean origin and dressed precisely as he would have been at a bachelor dinner party in Mayfair— strange that it should be he rather than Jules Maligni of Eton and Oxford. Did he, with his subtle cleverness, wear that dinner jacket, black tie, those black silk socks and patent shoes because he guessed or intuitively knew that she | must hate to see her husband with his bare feet stuck into Arab slippers, squatting there in native dress? Strange that the Etonian-Oxonian Englishman should dress and squat like a native, while the real Moor should dress, look | and behave like an English gentleman. Yes, almost certainly it was calculated, for Raisul did nothing without a rea- son and a motive. For how long would he “behave like an English gentleman” here in Mo- rocco? Had she been fancying things or was he going to make himself a nui- sance and, if so, would he be very diffi- cult to manage? | Suddenls Raisul, who had been in-/ dustriously pick & flower to pieces, | looked up, opened wide his great dark | eyes, gazed into hers and, as though reading her thought, smiled with a flash of brilliant teeth. Not a friendly pleasant smile of kindness and affec- tion, but a twisted smile, sardonic, sar- castic, .enigmatic. Ignoring him, Margaret's glance trav- eled on and rested for a moment upon the fat, jolly, evil and cruel face of his father, the Kaid Haroun Abd’allah Ka- rim. Watching him as he sat chuckling and whispering with Zainub, his wife, whose lively sallies evidently pleased him much, Margaret found it almost impossible to believe the tales df his appalling cruelty, tales that her hus- [mlkh which followed; at breakfast- sister, had told her—as interesting an- ecdotes and family gossip. Amazing to think that that middle- aged gentleman sitting there enjoying his Turkish cigarette and coffee was a human monster, a brute who had al- ways delighted not merely in savage war, but in its aftermath of slaughter and actual torture. And yet, why wonder at this if, as one was taught, heredity and environ- ment make the man? What else should this descendant of pirates, bandits, brigands and raiders be, living as he did in this robbers’ stronghold, dominatin, a wild land known as “the Country the Gun,” because it produced nothing else but the gun and its people lived and died by the gun? ‘Was there as much difference between this cruel, blood-stained medieval baron and his twentieth century son as there was between thelr respective dress? Was there as untamed and unchanged a savage Moor in Raisul's Savile Row dinner kit as there was in Haroun's silken garments? ‘Why on earth had she been such a fool to come into this horrible country, band’s mother, the Kaid's own half-|ing among these incredible people, into this fantastically impossible, fantasticaly Author of “BEAU GESTE” real Moorish life that they led today as they led it 200 and 300 and, for all she knew, 500 and 1,000 years ago? Margaret had thought it a sim splendid idea and a_unique op) of seeing—not as the tourist sees it— a uniquely interesting country. And_there, awaiting her arrival, had Leen Raisul, a little too insistent om the fact that they were now cousins and he endowed with cousinly privie leges, Had the Kaid any influence and power over his son or did he love him with too besotted a devotion to thwarg or cross him in anything whatsoever? According to Jules' mother, El Isa Beth el Ain, the child had ruled the man from babyhood and, far from ever denying him anything, the Kaid had turned his murderous wrath uj any man, woman, child or beast t had cver refused, thwarted, hindered or an- gered the boy. Had he not stabbed with his own hand the favorite horse from which Raisul, as a child, had fallen? Had he |not consented to the death of his own Jules, because of Raisul's Jules nephew, mother’s bare suggestion that ! might grow up to be an enemey and & usurper? No, probably the Kaid's in- fluence over Raisul was nil, while thas of Raisul over the Kaid was parae mount. From the Kaid Margaret glanced ad his wife, the once lovely Zainub, according to El Isa Beth el Aim, been reputed the lovellest woman in Morocco, the desired of the Sultan hime self—the autocratic, all-powerful tan, whom the Kaid had first and then defeated. Evidently a woman of character, forcefulness and determination, as proved by the one fact alone that she had retained her power and influence over her ferocious, autocratic and un- trammeled husband. Evidently, teo, & woman of fascination and charm, in that the Kaid apparently enj her { society today as he had done m| ago. ‘What was the secret of her power that she should retain and, Lo El Isa Beth el Ain, sugment strengthen it, even as she changed lovely girl to fat old woman? For & Moorish woman in her 40s is old. mlPl;o.blb}{h ll‘: and mlxlld ‘were “two nds wi ut a le thought” on most subjects and he admired her ruthe lessness and strength as much as had once admired her beauty. ‘What a pity one could not talk to her, get _her point of view, attitude and out- look on life and current events—if talk .s!léewm.\ld,wlhlfiedlndwm sider. Watching her as she sat with uncove ered face, Margaret thought Lucrezia . & middle life, of Catherine de Catherine of Russia. Of Lady Zainub, wife of Abd'allah and mother of Raisul. And that equally, if differen ing woman who sat next to Lady El Isa Beth el Ain, Jules’ half-sister of the Kaid! How could have found life bearable and contrh to live it beneath the same roof, ever vast, as the woman who had to kill her baby, the little Jules, who had put the child’s life in danger that she, the child's mother, sent it away, with little hope of seeing it again?
