reinforcing their pleas with figures
and facts Of an authenticity never as
sailed. appealed to the President in
vain to exercise his authority for the
protection of the American foreign
ship industry.

Dropping the Grand Duke Nicholas.

The military experts in the west
are all at sea about the deposition Of
the Grand Duke NICHOLAS from chief
command Of the Russian armies and
his transfer to the Caucasus. To
them 1t seems a sinister stroke Of fate
that the man who displayed such sig
nal ability In the Galiclan campaign
that resulted in the taking OF Lem
berg and PrZemysl, and who saved
the Russian forces from capture by
II mastery retreat from Warsaw,
should be shelved and practically ex-
lied to the remote Caucasus.
In Russia the true reason for the
Grand Dukes retirement from the
desperate campaign in the Baltic
province and west Russia must he
known in court circles. The facts
cannot be long concealed. In the first
year OF the war fame WAS busy with
his name. He was regarded as the
genius Of Russian strategy, as Il stern
discipllnarian and as a great organ
izer. With incompetence he had no
patience, and cowardice he would not
tolerate in any officer high or low.
Stories were told of his drastic meas
ures In dealing with subordinates who
did not please him, He brooked no
Interference with his plans-at least
such was the report, and It was not
denied.
As commander Of the Russian ar
mics Inc Grand Duke NICHOLAS was
popular with the rank and file and a
hero to the common people. But n
man who expected all his officers to
work rs hard as he did and who was
constantly wedding out the undesir-
ables must have made enemies, some
Of whom no doubt were influential.
II may have been the case that the
time came when the Car, who has
been noted for firmness, had to
choose between retaining the Grand
Duke In authority In the field or part,

PLATTSBURG'S CAMP.
Its Real Function Was to Make Drill
masters and Not Ohicers.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: The
editorial article on the camp at Platts-
burg in THE Sun of September 5 is a
good illustration of the misunderstand-
ing which threatens to result In more
damage than profit to our necessary
preparedness from that very excellent
institution.
TIC my personal knowledge many OF
those who have spent their time and
best efforts in the National Guard lave
foolishly been led to believe that men
who served through such an encainp'
ment would be considered suitably pre-
pared to be American army officers.
Among National Guardsmen such talk
has the unfortunate effect OF confirm
ing those who have ambitions for pro-
motion In n belief that they ARE wasting
their time in the service, and those who
are not so ambitious, but willing to
serve solely for the general benefit OF
their country, fear hat they may be
sent out on active service under the COM
mand OF such III prepared officers. That
would be suicidal. Unless the idea Is
corrected recruiting for the militia will
be seriously handicapped.
But the principal harm comes In mis-
leading the unsuspecting citizen. TIE
Idca OF all this talk OF military pre-
%paredness is truly ''pifle" II one month
In camp can produce efficient officers.
No one knows better than the men who
went to plattsburg how absurd Is such
a statement. Why not do away with
our expensive establishment at West
Point II PlattsburG Is the most sue
cessful military educational establish
ment yet founded in this or any other

General Wood WAS quoted. but un-
fortunately his statement was entirely
misinterpreted. The school OF the
soldier is a professional phrase. II
represents one chapter OF the Soldiers
bible" 1t is the arithmetic OF military
training. Is n child who knows his
arithmetic a mathematician?
General Wood said that those men who
were In camp at plattsburg could teach
the SCHOOL OF the soldier and that is
what any good corporal should be able
to do.
