Another Essential OF Preparedness

CO-ORDINATION OF the country's traction
- systems with the military districts as
urged by Colonel Baker, of the United States
Army. is of the essentials OF thorough
military preparedness. Germanys example
to the world OF the wonderful mobility eff
fected by complete coordination Of all her
transportation facilities should be sufficient
to impress this fact on the country.

lined by the Navy Department. referred to by

much as has been spent for schools. and more
