He implies that American regulars are
also inferior TO the French infantry in
mobility. If so, IL IL not because practice
marches are omitted in the training Of
American troops: AZ a matter Of fact,
they complain that their officers over
work them on the road. Perhaps this
complaint would O be made IL 40 many
chores" did not fall to the lot Of the
enlisted man. Suppose we admit that
the American regular il not accustomed
to march as far and a. nimbly az the
lighter Frenchman. If the American
should have more marching in a day
when mobility is so important, as was
proved by the turning achievements OF
the Japanese, then there should be more
practice marches for the American
regular, but obviously less manual and
mental labor in quarters.
Is General BUTT an object of derision
when he says that we have no man9uvres
in this country to correspond to those
great exercises in which the French and
Germans are trained for war? At Fort
Riley next week a regiment Of artillery
and n regiment of infantry with detach-
ments of engineers, cavalry and signal
service men will make an attempt to
carry an intrenched and fortified posi-
ton on which the Engineer Corps has
been working for three months. This
operation is termed in a despatch from
Washington -the biggest and most spec
tacular "a well az most interesting war
game ever played in this country" The
description does not sound ~extravagant
to American ears, but mainly because
wal games on any scale have not been
common in this country. They are
being held with greater frequency, and
the fact that the General staff is doing
all it can to multiply them and TO include
the National Guard proves that there is
some point in General BUTTS contention.
The team work" in which he says the
French and German armies excel. our
own troops are not as proficient in as
they should be. There il not an intelli-
gent army officer who will take excep-
ton to this statement. We are not in az
sorry a plight AZ we were before the
Spanish war, when some of M Generals
had had no experience in m~anpuvring
brigades and Colonies had only battalions
to command. The General STAFF is doing
excellent service in intoxicating the prin-
ciples of team work, but there is still
for Improvement. General BUTTS
proposal that more of the young Cap
tains and graduates Of West Point be
assigned TO tours Of Obser walton on the
Continental training grounds will be
approved, we think, by the military
specialists themselves.
Criticism even from a closet soldier
and a national guardsman not averse
to contention should be welcomed by
the Regular army if the critic is a man of
good intentions and he is able to sug-
gest any improvement in the service.
Individually the American soldier, "
saws General BUTT, makes the finest
soldier in the world when trained" 1t
will not be maintained, We believe, that
the American Regular and his officers
are yet trained 10 the highest point Of
efficiency.

eral discussion thus far points toward
a treaty, accepted by all, in which pro-
vision shall be made for an international
board OF arbitration having final au-
thority in all cases Of dispute or differ
ence which may come before IL. Mexico
and the United States should be, and
quite naturally would be, represented
on this board. The question Of a third
member would lie between a choice by
these two or an agreement by the con
ferees upon a permanent member. In
either case the choice should be made
from some Latin American country. IL
would be by no means a bad plan TO have
such a board consist of the Secretary of
State Of the United States, the Mexican
Ambassador to Washington and the
Brazilian Ambassador or the Minister
from Argentina, Chile or Peru. The
body would then be self-perpetuating
and at all times available. The Central
American countries, having their diplo-
matte Representatives here. would be in
touch with the permanent board and
efficiently represented before it in case
of need. The advantage Of a prepon-
derant Latin American representation on
such a board is entirely obvious.
The plan, so far as the result Of informal
discussion and consideration can be
called a plan. is admirable. and there is
every reason to hope that it may be
carried out. II it shall be so carried put
a large measure of praise and gratitude
will be due to Mr.. ROBERT BACON, As
sistant Secretary of State, who has dis
played skill and judgment in handling
this difficult business.

Clearing skies In Central America


There is encouraging news regarding
the situation in Central America. The
clouds which have so long hung over that
region are not vet entirely dissipated
but there is new ground for belief that
they soon will be. Some friction. some
little jealousy, may yet arise and upset
entirely the present encouraging pros
pect, but the probabilities are that there
will be no such experience. An effort
il being made to bring about a confer
encc out of which there shall come n
treaty Of peace and friendship that will
signalize the dawn Of a new and better
era in Central America.
We have commented from time TO
time on the discussion Of this project
il has been under consideration for
'-"n-sl months The general plan has
Included a convention. either in Wash
ington or in Mexico city. at which the
five republics should be represented by
delegates authorized to act for heir
respective countries. The diplomatic
representatives of those countries in
Washington are generally agreed that
the meeting should be held there. al
though there are certain arguments
which point to Mexico city as the more
fitting place. While something is TO be
said in favor of Mexico, much more can
be said in favor Of Washington, and II
the meeting is held, az it probably will
be. there is little doubt that 1t will be
held in the latter city.

THESUN did not assert hat there were no
adequate docking facilities in the Pacific for
the largest American battleships. but asked
whether il was true. as stated by the Ma v.
a service journal. that there were none on
either side OF the ocean. The Sun is glad
to have IN assurance from one who seems
to he well informed that the Hunters Point
and Bremerton dry docks are large enough
to accommodate warships of the size OF the
Connecticut and Louisiana. There still
remains TO be answered the question
whether those vessels could be locked and
repaired at Olongapo on the Asiatic side Of
the Pacific.

Supt. Mccormick is home'from the
Superintendents meeting at Topeka.
Tho committee on resolutions In Its
report declared for the permanent
organization Of the superintendent
with meeting each August just before
the school terms begin. The super
intendents also adopted a resolution
that hereafter all examinations for
gradhations from the eighth grade Of
the country schools should be based
on q uniform list Of questions pre-
pared by the state superintendent.
Uniform grades are also to be estab-
lished, instead Of letting each county
set its own standards.
One session Of the superintendent
was taken up with discussion Of the
various features Of consolidation OF
schools by which graded country
school was established with three or
or four districts combined. Several
superintendent from counties in
which this plan had been tried tDld
of their experience and advised that
1t should be done, as it was OF great
benfit to the school children.

always short Of teachers. II does not

mand. 1t Is good for its rs million

teaching has hitherto been meager.
With the genaral prevalence Of the
marriage habit in Kansas, this de-
ficiency will be removed In time, Of
course, but Kansas is a large state
and a young one.
Hence the state superintendent Of
education reports shortage Of some
S76 teachers Of twenty-five counties.
and In the fear that the report may be
generally circulated in the New Eng
land and Middle states and induce
some Of the younger teachers to 60
out to Kansas, full Of intellectual as
pirations never to be realized, we
hasten to condemn it as a mere mar
rage trap. History sustains us. The
superintendent OF education means
well, but he is powerless. These
poor, confding young teachers will
scarcely be settled at their new tasks
before insatiate Kansas agriculturists
will swoop down and marry them.
