MILITARY DISCIPLINE

In many ways military organization Is the most
peaceful of activities. When the contemporary
man steps from the street, Of clamorous insin-
cere advertisement, push, adulteration, undersell-
ing and intermittent employment, into the bar
backyard, he steps on to a higher social plane
into an atmosphere of service and cooperation
and of infinitely more honorable emulattons.
Here at least men are not flung out Of employ
ment to degenerate because there is no imme-
date work for them to do. They are fed and
drilled and trained for better services. Here at
least a man is supposed to win promotion by
self-forgetfulness and not by self-seeking. And
beside the feeble and irregular endowment of re-
search by commercialism, its little short-sighted
snatches at profit by innovation and scientific
economy, see how remarkable is the steady and
rapid development of method and appliances in
naval and military affairs!
Nothing is more striking than to compare the
progress Of civil conveniences which has been
left almost entirely to the trader, to the progress
in military apparatus during the last few decades.
The house appliances of today, for example, are
little better than they we're so years ago. A
house Of today is still almost as il-ventilated.
badly heated by wasteful fires, clumsily arranged
and furnished as the house of 1858. Houses a
couple of hundred years old are still satisfactory
places of residence, so little have our standards
risen. But the rifle or battleship of so years ago
was beyond all comparison inferior to those We
possess; in power. in speed. in convenience alike.
No one has a use now for such superannuated
things.
The conceptions OF order and discipline, the
tradition of service and devotion, of physical fit
ness, unstinted ~exertion and universal RESPONSE
bility, which universal military duty is now teach
ing European nations, will remain a permanent
acquisition, when the last ammunition has been
used in the fireworks that celebrate the final
peace.-H. G. Wells.
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-08-29

the number of gallons of oil and the number of
gallons of water used in the engines, dynamos
and auxiliaries.
Competition thus engendered and intelligently
rewarded for success or failure has compelled a
study of the enlisted man by the officer which
has resulted In a feeling of mutual interdepend-
ence which has brought officer and man in a
relationship which makes snobbishness on the
one hand and misunderstanding on the other more
nearly impossible every day.
To fit the man to his position Of maximum
usefulness In the navy demands, therefore, no
change in existing mechanism Of effort. The
only thing necessary is to coordinate and to
direct to a given end the forces already in ex-
istence on every ship and at every station of the
navy.
This given purpose is twofold in character.
First, to use the navy to give education, broad
mindedness and personal efficiency to each Of
fcer and enlisted man in the service, training
each individually to give the highest possible
returns in actual useful effort for the money
expended for his pay and training.
This first aim will send forth among our citi-
zenship each year approximately 1000 men, each
of whom is qualified by his industrial training,
by his association with officers and men Of diff
ferent nations, by his habit Of mind of intelli-
gent comprehension and quick, well-disciplined
action and by his broad understanding Of world
politics, to act as a center for spreading knowl-
edge Of discipline, of good citizenship, of the
highest ideals of mental, physical and spiritual
efficiency. through every section Of our United
States.
Second, from the body of men thus qualified
the employer will be able to select, from exact
records, the man fitted in every respect for best
efficiency in any given position. Letters from
some Of the largest employers of labor in the
country show that they are now employing men
holding honorable discharges from the navy and
getting from them higher efficiency than from
the average man.
Give greater certainty of direction to the in
dustrial education of each man and It is not pos
sible to avoid the conclusion that greater eff
cheney still will result.
Let us pass now to consideration of the ma
terial side of the navy. Do you realize that
when a ship of our feet visits a foreign port
ing demonstrations of the best and latest Ameri-
can-made types of machinery?
Suppose ! am a mine owner In Rio de Janeiro.
It is my desire to install a $25O,000 pumping
plant in the mines under my direction. The
feet visits Rio de Janeiro and l go on board
the ship as a visitor. In the engine room and
in the fire room l find American pumps operat-
ing so smoothly and efficiently and with so small
a necessity for supervision that / am impressed
Immediately with the fact that those pumps,
made by an American manufacturer. are the
only ones that will serve my purpose.
In other words, the actual demonstration of
the machinery has overcome any means brought
to bear by foreign manufacturers to convert me
to their product.
A systematic use through the consular service
OF the possibilities in this line would, 1t seems
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-08-29

rms FEELING is based upon the fact that the spe-
ciallzed industries of today demand specialized
education. Vocational training in the public
schools, In extension courses and the, still more
highly specialized training of the corporation
schools, are all long steps in the right direction.
An accurate fitting of the round peg to the
round hole demands, however, something in ad-
dition to the above. The navy requires "a trades
to administer to its needs. All these trades are
under the common direction of one head. Each
ship contains modern machinery for each trade
to attain maximum efficiency.
Does 1t not seem possible that during the
four years of the enlistment period the natural
capabilities Of each man might be worked out
in such a way as to practically insure locating
this man in any profession to which his par
ticular type of brain and mental and physical
equipment best fit him?
Fitting the Individual man In the navy to his
position of maximum usefulness means a care
full, personal, unselfsh consideration of the am
billions and capabilities of each man by the Off
GERS under whom he serves. Mutual understand
ing between officer and enlisted man in the navy
is being developed at a wonderfully rapid rate.
In the first place, a very large majority OF the
work in the navy is with machinery. Officer and
man are both in overalls.
The officer is Mr.. Brooks, for example, and the
man is simply Smith" but that is practically
the only distinction between the officer and the
man, except such as is given by the power of

turret crew gather around to discuss the advis-
ability Of the change. Each member OF the tur-
ret crew is Just as vitality interested in the sue
cess of the turret as the officer is, and each man
knows that his best effort is absolutely essential
to the maximum score of hits.
In this way machinery on the ships has proved
a great force working toward intelligent democ-
racy in the navy.
The second force tending to draw officer and
man together is the fact that the efficiency of
each officer and man: from the commander in
chief to the latest recruit on board, is a matter

A terrible tragedy of madness &C.
Cured near Dr~aguignan, France, a few
days ago. Doctor PORE was hastily
summoned to attend a peasant named
Chic, an Italian by birth, who was CIV

The doctor, who had been talking with
his patient, turned his back for a mo-
ment, %whereupon Chic, who had con
cealed a razor up his sleeve, sprang
upon him from behind and cut his
throat, death being instantaneous. The
man was overpowered and taken to
the gendarmerie. Here he attempted
