Tor the present army. In time OF wal
the army would be stripped"
Twenty officers Of the army of the
Argentine republic are coming to the
United States army to be trained.
This is one consequence of the off,
cial visit of General Wood to the cen
tennial celebration of the independ-
ence of the southernmost nation pro-
tected by the Monroe doctrine.
The significance of this was not al
luded to by General Wood, but from
other sources it had been learned that
the circumstances was important, as
Germans, who have been frequently
reported as unsympathetic toward the
United States policy regarding Euro
pean ambitions in this hemisphere,
are now instructors of the Argentine
army, and Germany, next to England,
holds the largest share Of the Argen-
tine trade.
Would you," General Wood was
asked, "go that far into army ques-
tions as to say what you think Of fly
ing machines as an adjunct in warp
Yes, | will say that l think the
smallest dirigible, one that can carry
the engineer and four or five men. is
going to be important, especially when
we can get them with a reinforced en-
velope able to withstand the required
pressures. Their utility is already as
sured for accommodating.
Our army's front is now twenty or
thirty miles long. If we can put up
men who can swiftly skip along over
that and see the enemy's lines of COM
munication, his field works, bridges,
etc, obviously the information would
be of enormous assistance.
II don't think the aeroplane will be
as useful as the small dirigible until it
is made large enough to carry at least
one man besides the driver. They
should also have duplicate engine.
But they are improving aeroplanes SO
fast that l don't predict only speak
of the present moment, when | say
prefer the small dirigible."

Der industry there:
An estate was sold to promoters for
$150,000. The syndicate got an old
planter who knew the estate to put
a fiotation value on it. He named
$250,000. The promoters were not sat
isfied. Another expert examined and
reported. His price was $350,O00
British and American gold was pour
ing into the country and the get-rich-
quick spirit was born. Another expert
was called in. He was told of the for
mer valuations and that they were un-
satisfactory. He valued the estate at
100000.
Just at this time, rubber took a big
jump in the London and New York
markets and another expert was asked
to report and he placed the f1otation
price at $750,000 and the syndicate in
order to have it in round numbers
made it an even 100000 and foated it
at this price.
People fought for the stock, the
share issue was oversubscribed and
many of them Immediately sold at a
good advance. All this was done with

Trial by Ordeal in Japan.

Tokio.-Trial by ordeal still exists
in some parts of Japan. If theft
takes place in a household, all the
servants are required to write a GER

conscience is supposed to betray ifs
workings in the waves OF the ideo-
graphs written. Tracing an telegraph

that the service often leads TO the dis.
covery of the guilty party. The test

the ordeal by boiling water, to which
accused persons were formerly sub
mitted in Japan.

FOR SHORTER Term

for Soldiers Enlistment.
New Head of the United States Army
Talks of Air Machines as War

New York.-Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood the new chief of staff of the
United States army, thinks the term
of enlistment of regulars should be cut
down and favors younger men for I'm
Gle Sans fighting forces.
You know l have recommended. in
formal reports, that the term of enlist
ment should be cut down." said he.
This would serve to turn back into
civil life larger proportion of men
who in emergency could be called
upon. They would constitute a reserve.
How to arrange that they would be
subject to call to the colors for oc-
casional maneuvers is a mere matter
of detail
Further than this General Wood
would not comment upon what he
would advocate when once he has Ia
ken up work as chief of staff of the
United States army.
His recommendations of shorter
enlistment would send back to the
population 10000 to 10000 men a year.
The plan would cut off a greater part
of the retired pay" and a greater part
of the pensions. The United States
standing army is now practically a
veteran army.
1t appears to be General Woods
idea that it should not be an army of
men of ten to fifteen years or twenty
five years service. Younger sinews are
required for spirit, dash and efficiency,
he believes.

said. There are just officers enough
