standards set by the national edu-
cational bureau.
Education is one thing this coun-
try needs to pay attention to in the
same broad way it has undertaken
conservation work. The former
President pointed to the German boy
of fifteen who is as well qualified to
enter college as the American boy
of eighteen or nineteen. With the
German nation education has been
reduced to science, with us il is
yet pretty much Of an experiment.
Only by such process of standard
izing as would come through the
work of some central governmental
agency can the essential features of
an education be widely agreed upon
and followed.
The United States Bureau of Edu-
cation has taken one notable step
in rescuing education from the dry
as dust library stage and bringing it
into the open by practical, sane pub
licity. 1t now needs to place it in
the laboratory of life, and there
blend it with the ideals and purposes
of American people and their needs.

Although the army is giving more ana
more attention to the motor truck. and
provision is being made more and more
for Its use in army transport. that
ancient and honorable military insti-
tuition. the mule. II still In demand.
Moreover. army men say there II not
the slightest Indication that the mule
can be dispensed with In the future.
One OF the features OF the army est-
mates this wear will be those for pur-
chase OF motor trucks. Estimates will

motor trucks and one supply truck.
These are wanted for the equipment or
a motor truck company. Such a motor
company will be assigned to the work o

The ideas for the organization OF the

Information OF Value.
Although little or nothing OF the re-
ports OF the military attaches has been
revealed. the fact is the War Depart
ment has Information of the greatest
value from its observers. This informa e
tion will be applied as far as possible
bv the department not alone in respec,
to the solving OF problems OF transpor-

Cnauestionably. however. the present
war has been remarkable for the ad
vances II has demonstrated In the work
ing out OF supply and transport prob
lens. although NE differences between
the road systems OF this country and
parts of Europe have to be taken into
account.
The proposed motor truck company
will be able to carry 5000 pounds
against 1900 pounds. which Is the ca.
pacity of a divisional wagon train. The
advantages of the motor truck company
are speed. quantity OF supplies which
can be carried. and the fact that less

OF National Defense Problem.

To the kditor OF THE TINES:
Inc people OF the United states would
sanction the economical expenditure OF
noeraI amount OF money for a larger
anu petter navy and for adequate coast
oeienses. but they are unalterably op-
poseo TO big standing army. The army
we nave costs much. and Is inefficient.
haFlns lived twelve years In Europe.
en'eiy IN Germany. with frequent ex-
tended visits to France and Switzer-
iahd. think I know a soldier when
see one. With the exception OF tho
Medical Corps. which Is honored the
world over. our army has no standing
among military ymen abroad. 1t will
not compare in general discipline and
marksmanship with the army OF Switz-
erland. which is organized and main
'ained on militia basis. and at a
comparatively small outlay. The safest
ana pest way to provide necessary in
iantrv forces to back up the navy and
the coast and field artillery win be
round In large bodies OF well trained
citlZen soldiery. There Is lots OF first
rIass material In our National Guard
u can never be menace TO the country
IN times OF peace. and II paid for It's
services would give a good account of
itself in war. In all OF our wars the
volunteers have done most Of the fight
ing. although trained after hostilities
began. Why not put the militia on a
good sound basis In time OF peace? We
shouId not expect too much OF them
when working without pay. All German
officers with whom ] have discussed
the subject agree that this is our best
means OF defense.
lf the Administration tries to force a
DIG standing army on the country. the
next President will be Republican.
