Draft Sirs: It is neither TIME nor TIME-worthy to take credit from the dead. See the last sentence in the carried-over paragraph on p. 15, July 3 issue: "It was he [General Johnson] who conceived and directed the Wartime draft."

Also surprisingly Major Garey, though his manual of arms textbook is standard in U. S. colleges, abolished military training at St. John's. Major Garey worked for the cultural improvement of St. John's, but he and the trustees disagreed on policies...
