Douglas him ed MacArthur was going to retire. The sergeant let up on his prey, shook his head slowly. He turned to the recruit: There goes a soldier, son." It was a sentiment shared by many in the ranks of the U. S. Army. As a soldier, MacArthurs flair for the theatrical combined to with his fighting brilliance Inspire all who knew him. Their number was legion. One episode hard-boile- l 1 4 d t It was the summer of 1618 md rome officers were looking for who, typically, was MacArthur, roaming the front lines somewhere, Have you seen Gen. MacArthur? they asked some doughboys. No, sir. Do you know him when you see him? Hell, sir. every one knows Gen. MacArthur," the soldiers replied. MacArthur went to France, a colonel, as chief of staff of the 42nd Division, the famed Rainbow name. a MacArthur inspired Always on the offensive, he wanted the Rainbow to be the first to France. He was beaten to the field because he would not sail without complete equipment. And it was no small tribute to his wisdom that the outfit that beat him to France had to call on him for supplies during the winter. HE SAW PLENTY OF REAL ACTION Once in the field, there was no holding him. As one private in the A. E. F. put it: He's a baby, long and lean, who can spit nickels and chase Germans as well as any doughboy in the Rainbow. Twice wounded, once gassed, MacArthur came out of the war with most of the eight rows of ribbons that now, with his four stars of full generalship, decorate his uniform.

INSTILS HIS OWN SPIRIT IN CADETS MacArthur was immensely popular with the cadets. Every inch a soldier, equally flamboyant, he has always been able to instill army spirit into younger men; His job at the Academy was to humanize its program and streamline it to the techniques of modern war. His avocation was to plead for Its enlargement, "lest" as he warned in best MacArthur style, "a condition may ultimately result which will be paid for in the bitterness of American blood." In 1922 MacArthur was transferred from the Academy to the Philippines. In the same year he married Louise Cromwell, stepdaughter of rich. Republican Edward Stotesbury, and sister of James H. R. Cromwell. The marriage was not a happy one and was dissolved in an amicable divorce in Reno in 1929. After three years in the islands, the latter ones as commander of (he Philippines Department, MacArthur returned to the U. S. a major general, spent the next five years commanding various corps areas. Then, in November, 1930, President Hoover called him to Washington as Chief of Staff. He in American was 51, youngest military annals. Gen.
