Foot Soldiers Are Not Fair

Washington, Sept. 2l.-The Infantry
officers in many cases do not take
kindly TO severe criticism passed BY
the inspector general upon the march
ing ability of the American foot sol
der Some OF them feel that the COM
parison between European troops and
our own was decidedly unfair In sew
eral important respects II is true. they
say, that some OF the continental infan-
trymen have made some remarkable
endurance and distance marches
against time. But they assert that in
many cases these tests were moro or
less spectacular and the marching was
done BY specially-trained and selected
troops The general army average
would be far below these performa noes.
American infantrymen have I'm case Of
need, they assert, fully equnlIed any
European performances in marching and
they can do II again. but OF course more
or less preliminary training and hard
