Already the hue and cry was rising ris-ing west of the Alleghenies sharp on the heels of the first hysterical waves of fear. What of the Army? Why had our armed forces been caught napping? Why hadn't the raiders been detected and shot down? The first reports of mobilization of Army and National Guard were pouring in. Mobilization was less than one fourth complete'. The Regular Reg-ular Army was ready to entrain for concentration points from its far-flung far-flung network of small garrisons whose location had been dictated by chambers of commerce and congressmen con-gressmen rather than by the necessities neces-sities of military training In the vital vi-tal team-play of larger units. Plans were being laid for a call for 500,000 volunteers.

As for modern equipment, that would have to wait. - There would be no such thing as buying it in France and England, even in Canada, Can-ada, as at the time of the World War. A year, or two years, might elapse before industrial mobilization, the country's own resources, could have two reports that interest you." will provide anything more than the crudest necessities of combat. If a major war was in the offing, the country would have to depend upon the massed valor of its manpower to take unequal red losses and drive through at all costs. It was nine o'clock before Colonel Flagwill stamped in from the Chief of Staff's office. His face was ashen and lined, but his level black eyes glowed vitality. "What an inglorious tangle!" he muttered to Benning with a tormented torment-ed shake of his head. "Which way to turn, that's the question bedevil ing all of us." "I've been reading the reports and recommendations of the staff sections, sec-tions, sir," Benning answered. "Mobilization "Mo-bilization seems to be moving right along and the panic is cooling off, even in Washington." "Mobilizing is one thing, fighting another," Flagwill snapped out. "By tonight when the Second gets cracked at San Antonio, the whole country will be howling for action. The howl for anti-aircraft is already pouring in and every one of our ten regiments of anti-aircraft is short something, a battery or two, a full battalion, or essential equipment equip-ment Not to mention ammunition. "The big trouble is, we don't know yet what we're up against and we've got to play a cautious game. If all we had to consider was Van Has-sek, Has-sek, we'd rush troops in there and give him his lesson in a very few weeks. What the public will not be able to understand, nor even Congress, Con-gress, is that we've got to use most of our peace-strength army as a framework for building a national army. "But anyhow, come what may with the future," Flagwill went on with a sardonic grin, "the Chief has just made one ten-strike of a decision. deci-sion. We're to make our first real military stand down around Fort Worth, which is about as far as Van Hassek would dare go in any event" Flagwill bolted a sandwich and washed it down with a cup of coffee, then pulled himself up to his desk. "I've two reports that will interest you, Benning," he announced abruptly. "First, we've a tip from London that the Coalition espionage system in the United States is organized or-ganized to completely wreck our industrial in-dustrial organization.

They also suggest that the enemy espionage has its headquarters headquar-ters in New York, disguised as some large corporation, no details avail-able. avail-able. Second, I have positive information infor-mation that Van Hassek's bombers had ground liaison in Washington last night Light signals were flashed from the area of the White House during both raids." Benning started. Into his mind flashed Captain Fincke's cryptic statements at the Shoreham. Promptly he decided against reporting report-ing this conversation for the time being. He gave Flagwill a brief account ac-count of his discovery of the Austrian Aus-trian captain and Colonel Boggio and explained his logic In not immediately immediate-ly causing their arrest "All right Benning," Flagwill said, his eyes snapping. , "I'll assume as-sume you made no mistake in not arresting them last night But now you forget everything else and get out after them! Use your own judgment judg-ment about when you make arrests, but see to it they don't get away from you. I needn't tell you that the Coalition spy net is ten times more dangerous in the long run than Van Hassek's present rotten invasion." CHAPTER X General Mole sat in the hot shelter shel-ter of his command post which had been dug by engineers into the reverse re-verse slope of a squat ridge. He puffed glumly at the stub of a cigar as he observed the arrival of his regimental and battalion commanders command-ers whom he had summoned from over his battle position. Planes soared overhead, American Ameri-can combat planes covering his position posi-tion against air attack. From time to time an observation plane dashed low with a dropped message reporting report-ing progress of the Van Hassek approach. ap-proach. At last word, the main Van Hassek column had cleared the Nueces Nue-ces River after routing a motorized battalion strong-point that Mole had sent out to gain contact and delay the enemy. Mole's plan of battle was shaped; his formal orders had been distributed. distribut-ed. Since morning the men had been digging in. All his artillery had been dug in and camouflaged. Here he had an immense, hastily organized citadel of mutually supporting strong-points. Machine guns had been placed for the maximum of destructive effect. The breaking of one line yielded the enemy the grim necessity of attacking attack-ing a new one. Roads menacing his flanks were strongly covered. It was not such a position as he would have selected of his own choice, but since necessity forced it on him, he meant to make the 'most of his opportunities for ' stubborn resistance. re-sistance. His senior aide-de-camp came up to him and saluted. "Sir, the officers are assembled," the captain advised. There was a greenish hue to the general's lean, cadaverous face, brought by the stress of the past few days. His eyes were bloodshot under puffy black lids, but they shone with a stout even glitter, that proclaimed the mastery of will over flesh. As he stood up to face his assembled commanders, he was perfectly per-fectly contained. "I wanted a few words with you before we go into action, gentlemen," gentle-men," he began in a calm voice. "The decision to fight here was made for us by General Hague. Therefore, it becomes our decision. Let me frankly say that the Army is on the spot that the people wouldn't understand the simple wisdom wis-dom of our falling back without a fight." He paused and his pale, bluish lips drew down into an expression of bitterness. "All right, we'll go through! We'll hold! We'll give the country a new tradition to remember! We'll fight Van Hassek with one regiment to four or five! If we're attacked this afternoon we'll fight until night We'll hold through tomorrow. Then I'll make my further decision. .When the time comes I'll give the order for withdrawal which must be by night" General Mole paused again to look about among them and then spoke in slow, biting words. "Gentlemen, a final word! We'll show the country what our mettle is. We'll show the enemy what they can expect to meet once our armies are mobilized and organized and trained. Remember this. If we lost every last man in the Second Divi sion, our losses would still be only a fraction of what the good old Sec ond took in France, even if nobody remembers that fact but the Sec ond's survivors!" His voice rose to a furious in tensity and his clenched hand rose above his head. "A new Alamo to remember, gen tlemen! That's what we'll give the country a new Alamo to remember! remem-ber! Put that thought into the teeth of your men. That's all!" (TO BE COSTIM'ED) SfkESCRE By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

NEW IDEAS t By Ruth Wyeto Spears w Most of the quilts of today are planned as bedspreads and have a color scheme to harmonize with other decorations. If a variety of figured scraps are used in the piecing, one dominant plain color is generally repeated in each block to give the design unity. Again, one color is combined with white throughout the entire quilt. Some quilts have elaborate pieced borders ; others are finished with a band of white with the dominant color used as an edge binding. A bias striped material makes the binding of the quilt in the Whirl Wind pattern shown here. The beauty of any quilt is enhanced en-hanced if it is set off with a valance val-ance around the bed.

For a flowering hedge, Four o'clock will produce attractively within two months after seed is planted. Glowing borders of flowers that beautify the yard, and at the same time provide ample cut flowers for the housewife, may be enjoyed the first summer. The fastest- growing and most dependable annuals an-nuals for cutting include the Zinnias, Zin-nias, Marigolds, Bachelor Buttons and Petunias. There are tall, me dium, and dwarf varieties of each. Most widely used of fast-grow ing annual vines is Heavenly Blue Morning Glory, whose giant, soft- blue flowers are m a class by themselves. It is well to scratch the coat of Heavenly Blue seeds before planting them to speed their otherwise slow germination. Potent Events There are certain events which to each man's life are as comets to the earth, seemingly strange and erratic portents; distinct from the ordinary lights which guide our course and mark our seasons, yet true to their own laws, potent in their own influences.

Spitting Image The expression "spitting image" was used as far back as 1751, when Smollett wrote, "He is the very moral mor-al (model) of you, and as like as if be had been spit out of your own mouth."
