PROVIDING ARMY OFFICERS

The plan Of the War Department
to create among the high schools of
he country junior division of the
Reserve Officers Training Corps is
:eally step toward conservation
"ather than toward militarism. The
Washington High School Cadets are
being employed for experimental
purposes in an effort to work out a
standard course for high school mill
tary training. The cadets here IL
lustrate just how similar groups of
boys may be utilized to their own
advantage and the Governments 5
GOOD.
For many years the cadets in
Washington have been drilling, week
ifter week, in the monotonous close
order formation. which has little to
10 with modern military science, and
has been pronounced by physical
"ulture experts detriment to many
ooys who are too young to handle
The gun in this fashion in their first
year at high school.
Under the new plan, to be ap-
nlied all over the United Stat,s
nigh school boys will be taught
craftsmanship, wall scaling, and the
essentials of field maneuvers in
weekend and summer training
lamps. This will be beneficial to city
boys, especially, and it will create
group of young men who know the
essentials of military discipline anC
practice.
The War Department is preparing
TO ask Congress to sanction thi
plan, and to give the boys in boil
the junior divisions, from higl
schools, and the senior divisions
from colleges and universities,
recognized standing. Provision is t.
oe made for letting them have tn
necessary equipment. including mu
nitions and uniforms, and to assig1
officers as military instructors.
Already $1,000 young men are un
der instruction of this sort in col
lcges, and it is hoped to increas
that number to $4,000 in the college
and to an equal number in the hig
Lonls. " bi~.'an is fittin

ShAVlAN ECCENTRICiTiEs

G. Bernard Shaw has been some
what in eclipse since his publica-
tions under the title Of Common
sense About the War" The British
people generally didn't think his
views were sensible, and certainly
they were not common in England
or any country friendly to the al
lies cause. Mr.. Shaw always feels
under the necessity of doing the un-
usual and the startling and incident
ally Of being clever about it. He
commonly succeeds at both points;
but when he tried to talk common
sense about the war, with the notion
of being smart at whatever sacri-
flee, he managed to get more smart
ness than sense into his discourse
and most people went away from the
reading more or less disgusted.
In the effort to rehabilitate him
self and make the public understand
that he is not pro-German, nor a
mere carper against everything
concerning his own country, Mr..
, Shaw talked the other evening in
the interest of a movement to help
/ unfortunate mothers and babies. He
pleaded well for the babies, and
MADE an effective presentation of
the especial necessity that the babies
must be we'll cared for at a time
when the manhood of the country
is being sacrificed.
But rambling away into smartness
once more, as if to defy the notion
that he would like to be sensible
even at the awful price of being
simple, Mr.. Shaw proceeded to at
tack the leaders of British public
life. He gibed against the extrava-
gance of the recent wedding in the
home of Premier Asquith; he as
sured his hearers that Chancellor OF
the ExcheGuer McKenna didn't know
anything whatever about politica
economy; he derided Mr.. Lloyd
George. Precisely what he coulc
have meant is not at all clear. Thus
Mr.. Loyd-Georgc seems to have
| no democratic instinct whatever. he
| is not industrious, and, though eio-
| quent, he never understands any
thing he talks about He ought never
to be allowed to touch business with
his finger ends
Could a more impossible charac
terization be provided, for the maj
who has compelled Britain's ars
tocracy to swallow democracy ant
pretend to like it; who is notoriousi!
industrious to the point of constant
ly overworking himself; and who's
genius for business administrator
first provided Britain with the none,
and then organized an effective sys
tenn of spending it?
1t seems as if Shaw is merely an
purely contrary; experimenting t

But in a general way 1t is known
that almost all the trucks or "co;i-
mercial cars" that are going to Eu-
rope. are consigned to governmental
uses: they are to help win the war
for the allies; the central powers, or
course, are unable TO buy. because
deliveries cannot be made. II It were
possible for Germany, Austria aud
Turkey to make purcha ses here, there
is no guessing TO what limits the ex-
port business in this line would
reach.
The European peoples have been
much impressed according to all re-
ports, by the American motor cars.
Manufacturing methoi Is in this coun-
try are wonderfully different from
those In Europe. Here. the least pos
sihle amount OF individuality. OF pei
sonal handicraft, is the aim of the
manufa Cturer. Every possible process
that can be standardized and per
formed by machinery. is placed on
that basis. 1t il said that one i'm
mense factory in the United states
turns out more cars in a year than
are made in all Europe. Whether this
Is quite literally accurate or not. 1t =
near enough to the facts to lllustra'e
the point. The American car Is Il
standardized product. The control OF
a homo market that is vastly the
largest and best in the world, ha !
made IL possible for American manu-
facturerS to perfect labor-saVinG
methods OF production as could not
be done anywhere else in the worlr
At the same time. the immensely Of
that market has also made possible
the production of a great variety of
trDes of cars.

Tariff Grows Unpopular.


In this regard the motor car in
dustry has paralleled the manufacture
OF agricultural implements: American
manufacturers OF farm machinery
have been gaining in all the markets
OF the world. because they could make
good, efficient machines cheaper than
anybody else. The motor car busi
ness is following in the same path.
1t would cost many millions OF dollars
to produce car Nc. j from plant in
which everything possible was done
by machinery; the same initial car
could be made by hand for a far less
amount. Rut when the plant is once
! in operation IT con turn out cars at
a rate that would look preposperous to
! European makers 1t is necessary to
have a cDrreSr Ondingly preposterouS
! market to keep the factory going :;
| aud that market. tn" only one OF Its
| kind, is to be found in America.
War conditions nave introduced
| American cars to the whole world,
! especially to Europe. The cheap car
had been proved and populariz I'd here
! before the war: now il is known TO
| Ijmrope. There is the same universal
| Gesire to "own a car" in Europe as
/ here. The people over there are

be bought by the government when

Advantage May Be Permanent.

This is. indeed. the great advantage of
American cars everywhere outside of
western FIurope. Americas bad roads
have developed type of car that other
manufacturing countries don't need.
because they have real roads This is
believed to be the only case in which
the possession of a complete outfit of
verv bad roads has turned to the COM
mercial advantage of country.
South America. Asia. Oceanica, and
most of the world. have increased their
purchases OF American cars in the last
year. and the introduction is likely to
be complete before another years end,
for Europe has less and less capacity
either TO make or to export cars. There
IL every reason 10 believe that among
all American industries. that of turning
out automobiles will enjoy the biggest
permanent advantage after the war.

making the tariff on, automobiles In
tensely unpopular.
There has been a good deal of talk
about resuscitated European industries
''dumping' their products in this coun-
try after the war. In this matter Of
automobiles. 1t is quite likely that the
tables will be turned: American manu-
facturers. highly stimulated by war
demand. will need to keep the foreign
market. and IL they fight for it they will
have magnificent chance to dominate
the world in this line.
Figures Of the Department Of Com
merce show that exports of motor cars
continue to gain month by month. In
October last 1.696 commercial cars valued
at A.3OI,OW, were exported: also 34I9
so-called pleasure cars. valued at 81. 49,
coo: and parts. not including engines
and tires. valued at $lSl9.0 900. This is
little more than three times the amount
of business in the same month a year
ago: and that month marked the big be-
ginning of the foreign demand inspired
by the war.
For the first nine months of this
year. Americans exported 1886 CONNER
cisl cars. valued at S52.N6W0: &Sl5
parts valued at $12.S14.Ooo. Total. ss4.-
422. 900. This compares with S26. o96 600 in
! the same period Of 1914; and again it is
/ to be noted that this 1914 record was
; i'll large part caused by the war.
Italy May Buy Heavily.
Both before and since the war began
| Great Britain has been the best GUS
| toner for American cars. In fact. dur
| ing 1915 it has taken almost exactly one
| third in value. Of all cars exported. Its
/ purchases were 1850 cars. worth $751;
! $4,000. France in the same period-the
| first nine months-bought 5,lS3 machines.
valued at Sl3,03S. 900. Italy bought 210
cars. valued at sl34.sOl. 1t is understood
that the Italian market is just now
| promising a great expansion: the Italian n
| government Ia in need OF a great in
| crease in its motor service. and the
i United States is the one place to buy
| what is needed.
Nearly all the other cars sent abroad
| went to Russia. and there is a reason
10 believe that. Russia will lead the
world as market for our cars in the
next few years. 1t has almost no motor
! industry of its own. and is learning
about the peculiar adaptability of
American cars for Russian conditions:
