WANTS CONGRESS
TO SEE WARFARE
senator Chamberlain Would
Have a Demonstration by
Regular Army.
FOR DEFENCE LESSONS

WASH INoroN. Dec. Ex-senator George
ate Committee on Military Affairs. has
decided to ask that a division Of regular
troops be detailed to give a demonstra-
tion OF an attack on a fortified position
with shrapnel. high explosive shells and
also with bullets and hand grenades.
This would mean the employment Of
both artillery and infantry in the attack.
The Senator. who Ia taking great In
terest In the legislation looking to pre-
paredness. would first have the troops
give an object lesson In erecting forti-
fcations by digging trenches and erect
Ing the usual modern temporary forth
fications. Then he would have their
work put 10 tho test by having them at
tackled. No one would be put under fire.
Senator Chamberlain would have Com
gress witness he demonstration. which
he believes would furnish a better object
lesson than the usual sham battle.
He believes that the average member
OF Congress would be better prepared
to pass upon legislation for the national
defence after having witnessed such an
attack.
The Senator thinks that such a plan
as he has In mind would inform members
OF Congress as to the training. organixa-
ton and discipline necessary II a divi-
sion is going to dig itself In properly or
otherwise prepare for the defence Of any
position II may hold.
This plan. he declares. would demon

fire and grenade fire and what Il means
to face II h w lack In the way Of
Held gums necessary to attack and de-
stroy infantry trenches and would illus
trate the difficulties Of modifying one
complete division, which ID the smallest
complete tactical unit Of an army.
81 am constantly impressed with the
difficulty Of creating a thorough under.
standing OF the necessity Of providing
an adequate national defence said
senator Chamberlain. People read
how battles are fought nowadays in
Europe, but do rot realize how far short
We are of the preparation TO light such
battles.
"in my opinion nothing would por-
tray more graphically what we must
do to NJ our army Cor modern warfare
than the mobilization OF a body OF troops
to attack a fortified position. IL either
the War Department or Congress will
make such an object lesson possible the

Action Of Michigan Progressive.
Resented by Colonel.

II was intimated yesterday that Col.
Roosevelt will ask the Secretary OF State
Of Michigan to take his name OF the
Presidential primary ballot. where 1t was
placed on Friday by the filing OF Pro-
Eressive petitions.
The Colonel has received no official
word as to the flins. Newspaper des-
patches from Lansing were real news
to him. 1t "A been suggested by some
Michigan Republicans that they might
try to nominate the ex.President In
their preferential primary. but the Pro-
gresslves kept their plan under cover
until the petitions were filed.
1t WAS said In the Colonel's behalf
that he did not know anything about
this procedure. and was likely to take
the same course that he followed In re-
questing the Secretary OF State OF Me-
braska to withdraw his name from con-
sheraton. In Nebraska, however, the
Roosevelt petitions were filed by Repub-
licans.

ment from European officials III
Washington brought up the question
OF Q possible disavowal Foreign

gised that this government regards
the Ford party merely as tourists.
No passports will be granted to any
one to visit belligerent countries.
Many applications were turned
down because they insisted on Wis
iting some belligerent nation. The
department is standing pat on its
refusal to grant such passports.
That many Of Ford's envoys will
take chances and sail without pass
ports seemed likely today. State de-
partment officials insist that the
Ford travellers are not being dis
criminated against because the
United States is issuing passports to
no individual to visit belligerent
countries. England has adopted a
new rule that no person will be
permitted to leave that country
without an American passport.
Passports for Ford. Judge and
