After making the rounds I began to feel rather well at home in the war office. I surely am well "heeled" in friends there. But the war office is not the war college, and it's the war college to which I'm assigned. I fear I shall have still to make good on my own nerve and sweet nature. The war college is a division of the general staff which works out many of the problems of the conduct of war. The gathering of information is one of its activities. It is housed in a great and splendid building on the left bank of the Potomac at Washington Barracks, down in the south east corner of the city. Immediately after lunch I went out there to report for duty. There was no fraternizing this time. The doorkeeper looked me over as I might be straight from the Wilhemstrasse.
