TR|UMPAL ARCHES
 ERECTED BY FRENCH
To Welcome British Who Take
 Over Section Of Their Line

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
 British Army Headquarters in France, Aug. 11-Triumphal arches were erected by the French soldiers to welcome their successors when the British took over a section of the line from the French a while ago. An occasional sniper's bullet ana the occasional burst of a shell ac- companied the informal ceremony.
 "The peculiar thing is that tra French do not like to go," said Staff Officer They have spent months in building up their trenches to make them comfortable and as secure from tho enemys fire as pos sible. They Hre proud of their trenches. In q sense they feel that the results of their labor belong 70 them. Besides they have got settled IF the associations of the villages to the rear where they are billetcd. They Know all the local people,
 Great Event for Men.
 Strictly speaking all that happens is that British battalion marches in and a French battalion marches cut after the officers of the incoming Battalion have spent a day or two iE the trenches familiarzing themselves with details. But to the men of both sides it is a great event
 Though the British and the French arc allies the soldiers of the two armies rarely meet. Each is on his own side of the line which bounds the zone of the two armies.
 Make One Another Understand.
 "Probaly not one out of fifty French soldiers speaks much Eng islr," said an officer, "and certainly not one out of fifty British soldiers speaks much French. Yet in five minutes they are talking together and some way or other they make one another understand"
 What interests them most is tho comparison of equipment. They must try the mechanism of each others rifles The BritOn must try on the new French steel helmet which the Frenchmen wear to protect their heads from shrapnel bullets and spinters. After the helmets he must eXaninet the French knives which the French use at the close quarters in trench fighting when the bayonet is unwie1Iy; and after that comes d comparison of bombs and bomb throwing methods Gestures servo pretty well for this kind of a convcr- SatiOn.
 Troops Bid Farewell.
 Meanwhile every bit of school book French and English is in play in the midst of laughter. The outgoing soldier eNpatiate& on his "dug-out' and how comforta bIe he has tried 70 make it; and the new conner is prop erly complimentary in this diplO- matic interchange between the men in khaki and blue.
 When the French go they Say "Goob-bye' and the British try their hands at 'au revoir.'

Governor E. F. Dunne of Illinois, who said he felt the nations main reliance for a reserve force might well be found in a requirement that every college and university receiving funds, federal or state, should give four years of military training to it's students. "If war were declared on the United States by any of the principal Euro pean nations tomorrow, it must be admitted our situation would be a pre- carious one" he said. Referring to the need of a great supply of muni- tions, as developed by the European war, Governor Dunne said that "any great British or German fleet could { take possession or destroy all means of manufacturing munitions in the Unit ed States, such plants being almost entirely within 150 miles of New York city" He said in part:
 Board on National Defense. Governor w. s. Hammond of Minne- sota emphasizing what he said was the fact that this country had spent hum dreds of millions more dollars for its army and navy than any other nation in the world, recommended the crea- tion of some board which would be able thoroughly to inform congress of the needs for national defense He said he was not so pessi mistic as some on the subject of unpreparedness, hold ing a suspicion that, if need arose, we would find these battleships of ours giving a very good account of them selves" It was his opinion that the nation must depend largely upon the patriotism of it's people for defense, that "the men would not stand for nd hA nation cannot afford to hire its sol- diers''
 Belief was expressed by Governor P. l.. Goldsborough of Maryland that an extension of measures of defense was necessary.
 Trusts Citizen Soldicry.
 Governor Park Trammell of Flor ida felt that dependence was to be placed in the citizen soldiers, and was applauded when he added "If the European war lasts two years more, as seems likely there will not be 8 first class army or navy in the world except our own"
 Adequate preparedness was urged by Governor H. c. Stuart of Virginia, while from Governor David l. Walsh fo Massachusetts came the suggestion that state or federal provision be made for bringing into the schools encour- agement and opportunity for the boys of the land to develop as citizen soldiers
 Mentally performed"
 new note was struck by Francis 1I. McGoVern, foi mer governor of Wis cOnsin. We have been mentally chloroformed." he exclaimed, "by the international propaganda for peace as it has been advanced in America. Our people have been over-persuaded by this moving. which has dubbed the officers of our state militia tin soldiers and has removed the incentive from officer and man. l believe there is as little danger to the nation today as at any time in score of years Never- theless we can never be secure until we put the country in a state of real preparedness such as it's vasts inter- ests demand"

 Several of the delegates cried out: Yes, yes. Let matters stand as they are"
 "The ladies have no place now to wear their watches" said Delegate k. c. Barnau, of Greensboro, N. c. try ing to be neutral. "They might jus: as we'll wear their watches on their wrist as tucked away in a bag some place about their person, as they do now"
 MT. Manahan's motion was not act ed on, favorably or otherwise, and the association apparently had adopt ed a policy of wrist-watchful waisting.

MANY GOVERNORS
 URGE PREP AREDNESS
Conference of Executives at BOS.
 ton Brought to Close

Boston, Aug. 28.-After discussion of the country, in which it was gen orally agreed that the United States was not adequately prepared against foreign invasion, the conference Of governors ended it's annual sessions today. No resolutions on the subject were proposed, but several of he executives said they felt certain that all the governors would return D their staaes with the intention of de- manding from their congressman sup port in any program for strengthen ing the forces of defense. The gov ernors chose Salt Lake City as the place for next years meeting and elected the governor of Utah, Wil- liam Spry, as chairman of the eX ccutiVe committee. Other commit tee members elected were Governor Henry C. Stuart of Virginia, and Gov ernOr Arthur Capper of Kansas For mer Governor John Franklin Fort Of New Jersey was again chosen treasuI- CT and Miles C. Riley of Madison, Wis, was reelected secretary.
 The conference program. which had included 9 review of the Atlantic fleet and a parade of 1000 members of the Massachusetts Militia, had aroused great interest in tOday's dis cussion. As result. the sessions were removed from the Senate cham Der to the more spacious hall of the House of Representatives, where large audience followed the address, es with frequent applause.
 The discussion by the governors was prefaced by remarks from Secre- tary of Commerce William c. Red field, speaking, not in behalf of the administration, but as a member of it, he said.
 Redfield Urges Restraint.
 Secretary Redfield urged restraint of speech and soberness of thought in what he termed these trying times With that spirit of restraint he added. should we not be ready for any emergency of any kind that may arise? should We not at least have the tools ready. not for offense but for our defensH of our natiOn.
 Under the head What should bc the states duty in the matter of ma tional defense," Governor James Fielder of New Jersey, in opening the discussion, urged an increase in thr standing army, with an adequate line of trained reserNIsts. He said he felt the states should he ready at all times to furnish 250,00O men to this re- serve body.

mpracticability they do not compare with even a narrow zone of barren land, where food and water are non existent and where bad ground makes transport either laborious or alto gether impossible. Battlefields, like the sites of capitals, are not made by man, but are the outcome of geograph- ical position. The chief lines of com munication Of the world, and conse- quently the warpaths of nations. are, in like manner, determined by the lie Of the land and its physical features. So long. for instance, as Egypt and Palestine are not under one rule, and so long as there is a likelihood of a recurrence of hostility between the powers that control these two coun- tries, the desert barrier that separates them will be the scene of conflict. Be ing narrow neck of land joining two continents. and being the only land link between two of the most fertile regions of the earth, it has always been, and will always be, an important line of communication. For the same reason it must retain its significance from military standpoint. It chances that the link between Egypt and Asia Is cursed by the blight of aridity. But the same providence that caused this area to be useless to man provided the | more favored region of the Nile val ley with an iTimitable protection from | envious foes. A hundred miles of l waste is a better guard against inva- sion than any other natural feature: it | is far less costly than modern fortifi- | cations and probably more effective. Yet, In spite of natures buIwarks. this area has probably been the scene of more hostility than any other desert in the world. Inexorably, as it were, the silent wilderness has been dis turbed by successive waves of migra- tory hordes and by the continual pass ing of military expeditions. There is no rest for this land; it seems to at tract tragedy.
 The desert, Egypt's ancient barrier against intruding foes, has proved to be formidable breakwater on to which many an enemy has hurled him. self. Their efforts have been met with varying success. Although it has proved of no avail against determined and systematic attacks, it has caused 6 hostile advance on Egypt to be looked upon as big undertaking. It would be foolish to treat such an ob- stacie lightly, but with sufficient initi- ative its difficulties can be success. fully surmounted. It Is noteworthy that desert frontiers to fertile lands also probably entail the responsibility of wild tribes to be kept at bay. The wilderness that fringed ancient China was a barrier against distant foes, but the nomads actually inhabiting that desert were the source of so much danger that they might be considered the direct cause for the building of the Great Wall. In the same way the early i1ha bitants of the Nile valley did not consider natures battlements suff
