Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Van Dyke Book: Selected From the Writings of Henry Van Dyke Oh! I always understood that Americans allowed women the first chance. The panic subsided, and the crowd melted away. Again, I recall an amusing and characteristic pic ture of Doctor van Dyke at the time when we, our selves, were entering the war. I had gone to him for his advice as to what branch of military service I should enter. Logically, and with his accustomed directness, his first words were: As you are well above the draft age, and the support of a growing family, you cannot, of course, think of any very dan gerous branch A few weeks later I came across him in the uniform of a lieutenant-commander in the navy. With the eagerness of a boy, and with a boy's flushed cheeks, he told me that not only had he been commissioned, but had, by dint of pertinacity on his part, I imagine, been promised a post, whenever pos sible, in one of the ships in the first line of battle. I am glad to say that the war ended before he got this post. He, himself, was also beyond the draft age, and the head of a family.
