He was made a second lieutenant on October 26, on the very day Ludendorff resigned his German command. Not that Lieutenant Deane had the field marshal worried. The two events just happened to dovetail. By the next February it was First Lieutenant Deane. He lagged for a while after that. He waited 16 years for his majority. But he is a major general now, and his present job in Moscow, at the head of the American military commission which is supposed to blow all e bottlenecks out of our program there, is likely to move him still farther upward, and at a fast pace, too.

Forty-seve- n now, in his 26 years of military life he has served in nine states, the Panama Canal Zone and China.

Representing 900,000 members, the executive committee of the CIOs United Steel Workers decided to demand higher wages, with the exact extent yet to be determined. It was in awarding the steel workers a raise of 44 cents daily two years ago, that the War Labor board developed its hotly contested wage formula. While the steel workers made their move, spokesmen for 1,100,000 railroad union employees rejected the governments offer of graduated pay increases ranging from 10 cents an hour for all wages less than 47 cents an hour, to 4 cents an hour for wages of 97 cents and over per hour.
