Too Late Do I Wish I Had Taken a REAL Man.” By Helen Rowland Copyright, 1918, by the Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) OW, MY DAUGHTER, there dwelt three damseis in Babylofi, and they N were thicker than minnestrone, and fonder of one another than the Kaiser of his own photograph. And it came to pass that one of the dameels marriod and went Yo live in Fifth Avenue, and the second mar- ried and went to live fn Harlem, but the third was wedded to her ART, and went to live in Greenwich Village, And behold, after ten years they remembered one another and foregathered together for goseip and tea, and “auld lang syne.” And the second woman addressed the first woman gently, sayin; as yee fn World, PULITZER, ESTABLISHED BY JOSEPH Published Daily Except Sungey a 4 the Pree Publishing Company, Nos. 6) | Row, New Yor be avi oe ate President, ‘s, Park Row. | AN HAW, ‘Treasurer, 63 Park soserih PULITZER Jr. Secretary. 63 Park Row, MEMBER OF THD ASSOCIATED vases, Arpociated Peete exctotivaly emptied to the, jm, ceoeltad BMC tan Gtherins credited th is paper and “aiab ee VOLUME 58... By J. H.Cassel enjna World) DISCIPLINE. OMETHING besides an individual, heroic spirit of do and dare is required for the kind of warfare Germany has forced the world to learn. To members of the Harvard Club of Boston, Major Lowell, O. R. C., instructor at Plattsburg and Camp Devens, told a few frank and helpful truths about the difficulties encountered in making efficient soldiers out of college men: “We tried many theorles in an effort to make officers of men in the short space of three months. We decided to watcl the college men and see where they excelled and where they fell short, and we have come to certain conclusions: “One ts that the college men, who should be leading, are lacking (1) in @iscipline and (2) in the thorough realization of the alms and the seriousness of the war. In some ways they are ahead and in some ways they are behind. My message ts to teach the boys discipline in the home, the school and the R, 0. T. C. If you teach them nothing else, send them to the camps disciplined.” | In other words, there is a tendency among college men to look} upon war as a sporting proposition for which individual bravery and| initiative are to be rated above training and obedience. To a considerable degree haven’t Americans, young and old, in all walks of life, shared the same view—beginning with those early days of war enthusiasm when to many it seemed that a few self-led battalions of embattled American business men with right on their side must be enough to rout all the Kaiser’s hard-driven slaves? | Haven’t more than a few Americans in their heart of hearts resented the turning of sons, brothers, husbands into mere cogs in the most undemocratic machinery humanity ever invented to serve its ambitions or provide for its defense? The lessons of the war, however, were not to be ignored by any people that hoped to make its strength tell in the conflict. As Major Lowell reminds the college boys: “The collapse of the Russians was due to lack of discipline. The first Canadian army was sent back to England for five | months to acquire discipline. The Australian army forgot their discipline, went ahead of their objectives in their enthu- siaam and were shot down by their own artillery fire—600 casualties took place in half an hour, “Discipline is reducing common sense to set formula, so that when the men get into battle, with their bodies trembling and minds lost, they will, because of their training, follow the commands of their leader and have some chance for their lives.” Bistor! All my life I have envied thee, be- Heving thee rich and happily married! Yet, lo, I perceive that thy beauty hath fallen from thee as the veil of Salome, and thou art thinner than a war loaf and more weary looking than a Show Girl. Yea, verily, if I may say {it frankly, thou lookest more pathetic and battered than the rem. nants of a lettuce salad!” And the first matron shrugged her shoulders and answered her wearily, ing: erlly, verily, Sister, thou hast #Poken the unsweetened truth! For lo, in the marriage market where I thought I had drawn a first prize, I found that I had plucked only a citrus! And all my days have been spent fn the bitter endeavor to please an unpleasant person and to sweeten an acid disposition. And I have worn myself to a rag, and a bone, and a hank of hair, striving to keep up the appearance of ‘happiness.’ Yet now am I on my way to Reno! And Jo, hereafter I shall live comfortably upon alimony and my philosophy, and shall wax FAT and content! “Yet tell me, Sister, how fs {t with THEE? For thou, thyself, art no longer a ‘living picture,’ but a chromo-copy of thine old self! And I per ceive by the worry wrinkles on thy forehead that the path of matrimony hath not been ALL velvet, nor the going all down hill!" And the other matron sighed and answered her, saying: ell, I should say NO’ For though tn the Garden of Love | chose a prize peach, all my days have been spent In the stupendous effort to HOLD him and to be ‘worthy’ of him, In the cooking of his viands, and the mending of his clothes, and the darning of his socks, and the cleaning of his safety razor, and the saving of his Pennies that he might continue to think me forever the ONLY Perfect Wife! Yet, alas, my Beloved departed this life last month. And now I shall ifs in loneliness upon the Insurance and memories, and shall doubtless wax FAT and sloppy!’"* Then the third woman spake up, saying: “Go to! Ye are both simpletons and know not when ye are fortuna | Your lives have been as heavenly rest beside MINE! For, lp, all my s Lave been spent in the heartrending pursuit of ART, and the futile search for an Ideal Man! And now, too late, do I wish that I had taken a REAI. man, good or bad, and remodelled him to suit my fancy! Yet, I too havea last ceased struggling after art and ideals, and shall settle down to live upon my earnings and the lesson of experience and wax FAT and flabby! And thereupon the three women sighed gently and loosened their staya and ordered BUTTERED toast, and marshmallows, and cream puffs, and | tea WITH sugar and cream, and double portions of salad with mayonnaise dressing.

There is good reason why free-spirited, peace-loving Americans should dislike the distinctions and discriminations such organization on an extensive scale entails.
