THE WAR GAM e

The game Of war played by 20. 900
United States Regulars and Militia
about New York City has been a
sporting holiday for applauding
crowds. Red p~arasols and picnic
luncheon parties have lined every
road where the theoretical carnage
was splitting its hypothetical blood.
The @ is taken more seriously
among military men who in militia
armories all yer the country are dis
cussing the awards OF umpires and
the massing OF men. The
too. are exciting wide spread discus
sion. as to how far they are making
the National Guard into an efficient
military organization.
A large number OF active dissenters
are arising TO say that he does not
learn TO care for himself as well in
the field as he did in the old fashioned
militia camps, with all their futile
gold lace parades. B~rigadier General
Bliss. in his last annual report. Sc
verely criticised the California ma
neuvers. on the ground that the train
ing given the militia was like asking
a child TO take a high school course
before he had fitted In the lower
grades.
The conception OF the National
Guard has radically changed in re-
cent years. Formerly II was a local
organization. designed to protect the
state against home disturbances. Now
IL is regarded as a reserve for the
regular army. TO be used as backs for
the regulars.
The old style military camp was
too much a thing OF red tape and
cockade reviews. Buy the new meth.
cd OF training the militia through the
war game is a big proposition. For
mer Secretary OF War Root suggested
having a paid reserve OF 100000 men
to perform this work.
According 10 his idea this should
consist of former regulars who should
70 into camp a few weeks a year. AID
relieve the militiamen from tasks be-
yond their power to accomplish ef.
ficiently. Something like this plan Is
In use in European nations.

truly R~ooseveltian- II can mean ev-

to the resolution TO protect the ma

legitimate use" To open to the gen.
