BUSINESS MEMS TRAINING
CAMP, American Lake, Aug. 27.
Three men in khaki sat on
army cots. in brown army tents.
resting.
They breathed heavily, fol-
they were very tired. They
wiped their brows, for the day
was sultry and their bodies UNI
der the flannel shirts were wet
with sweat.
When they were rested some
what, they talked of war and
peace, of preparedness and I'M
preparedness, of militarism and
peace at any price.
What these three men and
many others like them are doing
is remarkable enough. What
they are thinking and sayins
about the thing they are doing
is more remarkable still and more
significant far than the movement
itself.
Who They Are
Now, one of the three was Pri-
vate Robert n. Stith. When not
in khaki, Private Stith is Dr.
Stith, a recognized authority on
tuberculosis.
Another of the trio was Pri.
vate Robert w. Mccullough
When not in khaki, Private Nc
Cullough is the Rev. Mccullough
pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist
church. Seattle.
The third man was Private
Harry Whitney Treat. When no,
in khaki, Private Treat Is Multi
millionaire Treat.
1t was at the end of their first
day in camp. They had left the
ease of their homes, the familiar
routines of their offices.
They had not slept well tha
first night in camp. They hat
risen at Sis. Now they were
weary and none too clean. A
days growth of stubble was OF
their chins. They did not lool
like a man of God, man of sci
ence and man of money.
Looked ROugh-Neck
They looked like rough-necl
rockies.
The khaki is a great leveler.
1t is not likely that Private'
Stith, Mccullough and Treat, nm
der ordinary circumstances
would cross paths socially, pro
fessionally or In business.
But the khaki has made then
comrades, and they talked frank
ly, as comrades talk.
| They have come to camp, al
hundreds of others, at American
Lake, at Plattsburg, N. Y, at Sar
Francisco, have done, to learn thu
trade of soldering.

Student
Soldiers Think
OF Experiment
IT'S n Big Idea

me idea Is big, AS | under
stand ii, II Is this We want to
be prepared for war il il comes.
but we hope ii won't come. We
don't want "militarism. We
don't want big standing army.
If war comes. there will be no
lack of raw material. There
never is any lack OF raw material.
Nor will there be lack of gem
erals.
But general cannot waste his
time teaching the rockies the
manual of arms and how to
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The
need is for lieutenants and cap
tains.
And so the business and pro-
fessional" men, who presumably
have little more intelligence
and executive ability than the
average run of men, are attending
these three-weeks' camps of in
struction.
They will be the lieutenants
and captains of our army IL war
comes.
They are trying to cram a
years instruction into three
weeks. They are hitting the high
spots. They are getting birds
eye glimpse of soldering, or such
part of 1t as a captain or a lieu
tenant must understand.
Instructors Amazed
They are working hard, these
rockies. The regular army of
Ulcers who are their instructors
are delightfully."- amazed. In a
single days work they skipped
lightly from the "Hay-foot.
Straw-foot!" stage to company
formation
l. Soon we shall be prepared. ="
And then what?
The idea will grow" said
Private Treat. Next years
camps will be larger than this
years. Personally | enjoy the
exercise, the hard work, the
changed conditions. And If war
should come"
Which heaven forbid" said
Private Mccullough.
All three agreed that war
would be a calamity. The bust
ness men rockies are under no H.
iusions about war. They do not
talk Of war as glorious.
If every man In America"
said Private Stith, could have
this experience once a year, II
would improve the race" Pri-
waite Stith has high hopes that
drill will reduce his weight.
Danger? Perhaps.
Other rockies entered the tent
and Joined in the talk. Some one
asked if there was not danger in
the movement.
Then they all fell to arguing
at once.
Out of the clamor of conten-
tion an orderly concensus of opin-
ion at length arose. 1t was this,
which, it seems to me. is more
important than the movement it
self:
There may be danger. It is
true that some men, when they
talk fight, want to fight. And
there is nothing fine or glorious
about war. But some nations,
like some men, are DULLES. We
must be prepared to fight them
| If they attack us. On the other
han, we must guard against hot
heads and jingoes at home. We
must not strike first and inyesti-
gate afterward. And we must
never enter upon an unrighteous
war or war of communist

BRITISH POUND
DROPS IN VALUE

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-During
yesterdays five-hour day in the
money market the English pound
sterling dropped to $4.63 "a.
This is the lowest 1t has ever been
since 1917 when the coin was
first made. The franc and the
lire also dropped. The only money
which registered an increased
value was the German reichmark,
thought to be due to the easing
of the Tutonic diplomatic tension.
