KING AT THE FRONT

King George of England has gone
to France to visit his army. A few
days ago it was announced that the
Prince of Wales was at last to be
permitted TO go to the front and see
some military service. The young
man had wanted to do it for a long
time, but Queen Mary had stood in
the way.
George is the only ruler involved
in the war, so far as Europe is con-
cerned, who has not been with his
troops at the front, excepting the
Emperor of Austria. whose age
makes it impossible for him to go,
and the Sultan. Albert of Belgium
and the Kaiser have been the real
leaders of their armies, the directors
and inspiration of everything; and in
each case the personal leadership of
the sovereign has unquestionably
done much to inspire the nation. The
Kings of Montenegro and Servia, the
Gar, and President Poincare of
France, have been at the front.
King George is not a popular ruler
as his father was, or as his grand
mother was. He is decidedly lacking
in personality, and is credited with
little sympathy for the radical poll
tics that govern his country now
adays. The war came just at the
right time, for him; he was getting
mixed up in the home rule contro-
versy in way that threatened to
cost him, not the personal popularity
which he has never enjoyed, but the
support Of that tradition of superior
ity that doth hedge about a king.
Perhaps at the fighting line he will
be able to give a demonstration of
unaffected human quality that will
win a new estimate. Seemingly, the
King has been diffident, untitled for
linking" as his father did it, and
therefore too much under the influ-
ence of the little group who had ac-
cess to his acquaintance and conf
dence. At any rate, his determina-
ton to go to the front has caused
some surprise in Great Britain; no.

GUNS AND CUNNERS.

If the same amount of printers
ink which goes annually to dissent
rate throughout the country the
miles of talk delivered by the ma
tons lawmakers in Washington
were used to further a countrywide
circulation of the recent report on
arms and ammunition by Brig. Gen.
William Crozier, chief of ordnance of
the War Department, the thousands
of little army" men might do more
individual thinking and less mob
bowling.
General Crozier's report deals with
guns and gunmaking. 1t is particu-
larry vital in its revelation of the
field artillery of the United States.
The necessity of large and efficient
field artillery is proving out unan-
swersbly in the European war.
The artillery arm Of the United
States army at present musters
about $500 officers and men organ
lied into thirty-siX batteries. The
artillery force in the National Guard
is not much larger.
Military scientists have decreed
that, because the difficulty of equip
ping and training artillerymen and
cavalrymen in times of war is so
great, those two arms of the service
should be kept at an inflated
strength in time of peace.
In war the proportion should
stand: Infantry, eight-tenths; cav
airy, one-tenth, and artillery, one
tenth. In accordance with the fore

CITY HEALTH.

By degrees we are coming to know
the country boy is not healthier than
the city youngster that takes proper
care of himself. It's hard to shake
the belief that ruralites are better
off in health than are residents of
the city, but figures tending to dis
turb that belief have been presented
in a report made by joint committees
of the National Council of Educa-
ton and the American Medical Asso-
citation.
Experts of these organizations
have been investigating conditions
among school children to determine
the physical fitness of country and
city youngsters.
Three per cent of the country chill
dren examined were found to have
tuberculosis. The disease was found
in only 1 per cent of city pupils.
Ear trouble was recorded as l per
cent in the city and 5 per cent in the
country; eye trouble, 81 in the city
and 21.5 in the country; enlarged
tonsils, 8.8 in city, 80 in country;
malnutrition, 1913 in city, 31.2 in
country.
At first glance one is inclined to
assert these figures prove the city
boys life conditions are superior to
those of the country lads, forgetting
that tuberculosis is the only vital
trouble mentioned. However, the
statistics indicate urbanites that ap-
ply the rules of hygiene can over
come the defects of city life to the
extent their health is superior to
that of country residents that are
lax in their health observations.
Country life does not necessarily
mean good health any more than
living in the city means inferior
physical condition. Perhaps rural
ties could improve the standard in
Dictated in the statistics if they ap-
piled to their living conditions the
knowledge of hygiene.

going rule the United States cavalry
now makes up five-sixteenths of the
whole regular army. The field ar
tillery, however, is only one-six-
teenth.
The War Department says that to
face frst-class power in battle the
American army should number 450,-
900 men. That force would include
a regular army of 100000, Nation
al Guard force of about 100000, and
a volunteer force of 100000.
Therefore, to raise the field artil-
lery to its one-tenth war strength
would mean the equipping and train
ing of about $4,000 men. Even the
present National Guard artillerymen
would need several months of train
ing.
General Crozier says the United
States would need 264 batteries of
field artillery for war. In the same
paragraph of his report he says
there are on hand nowhere near the
number of field guns such a force
would require. Counting those now
in service, those in armories, those
being manufactured and those for
which appropriations have been set
aside, there still remains deficiency
of enough guns to equip ten regi-
ments. Many of the guns on hand
are not up-to-date.
The best natural-born soldier in
the world could not make an efficient
artilleryman without guns. General
Crozier's report shows that field gun
ammunition is equally lacking. Field
guns and field gunners make for
readiness. Readiness means safety.
The Washington times., 1914-12-01

body dreams that it will have any
military or diplomatic significance,
because the King, in Great Britain, is
expected to devote himself strictly
to being King; he isn't presumed to
do any ruling, lawmaking, or any
thing else at all serious. He pro-
vides the dignity of the state, but
he is expected to be content to stop
there.
However, a King has almost as
much chance to be regular man, as
anybody else. George might easily
enough do something to make huge
hit with his people. 1t would be no
more remarkable than was the per-
formance of King Albert, now the
most popular man in the world by
common consent. He could be elected
to anything, anywhere, on any plat
form; simply because, with all the
handicap of being King, he devel-
oped, under the difficult circum-
stances of modern political life, a
system of living right up to the full
stature and quality of true kingship.
1t is hard to imagine what Great
Britain would do if it should discover
itself possessed of King capable of
making the appeal that Albert has
made to his people and to the world.
1t would go wild; British pride would
burst all bounds, and the experience
would place a rather insecure mon
archical system firmly on its throne
for two or three generations.
The Washington times., 1914-12-01
A MILITARY INQUIRY.

The President is represented as
opposing an inquiry into the coun-
try's status of military prepared
ness, on the ground that it might
lessen this country's influence in the
forthcoming negotiations for world
peace, and that it could produce no
facts not already known.
As to the first reason, difference of
opinion seems justified, though the
Presidents conclusion is not very OBJ
vious. AS to the second, the Presi-
dent is entirely right in saying that
no new facts could be developed;
and, we feel. entirely wrong in as
Stunning that that is reason for op-
posing the inquiry.
It is true that the 1913 report of
General Wood, as chief of staff, the
recent report of General Wother-
spoon from the same high place, the
reports of the various division chiefs
of the military organization, have
embalmed in print the essential
facts. An inquiry would add little
to them.
But these facts, while they are
available" are not generally
known" There is a vast difference.
The important results of an inquiry
now would be to accomplish general
knowledge of important facts that
are today known only to a limited
circle of experts whom the public is
wont to regard as prejudiced in favor
Of big military establishment.
If the whole public knew about
our military posture exactly what
these experts have repeatedly said
and printed, there would be a right
prompt change of conditions.
An inquiry will make it possible
for the whole public to know these
things.
Getting public intelligence and
public opinion back of desirable re-
form is the way to get the reform.
