CURRENT COMMENT
Not an Adequate Reserve.

In the entrsining the feeling, and the
offering OF the regular army trouble IS
seldom reported. The officers are ac-
auainted with their duties and the men
with conditions of army life.
But when the National Guard is mob
ilized the row begins. The officers think
they know their business, but they don't,
for their experience has been largely
confined to armories. The "non-coms
who are the backbone of orderly mill
tary routine, are unsteady in their du'
ties. The men know how to take care of
themselves. 1t is necessary to hold in
spections to weed out incapable officers,
and when a popular officer is displaced
there is great cutlery. On the journey
to the front breakdowns in the arrange
ments occur, sometimes the result of the
blunders of the overworked general stall
and sometimes through the fault of the
commanders OF the militia units. Work
is crowded into few days on which
weeks should be spent. 1t took Kitchen
er six months to get the British terri
torials, as well prepared for active oper-
ations as our National Guard, ready to
go to the front.
The National Guard system does not
provide an adequate reserve, and it IS
doubtful if it ever will. The thin veneer
of liberalization does not cover up its
defects. Washington recognized this,
Jackson recognized it, Grant recognized
it. The men are good and the officers
are capabl of becoming good. The spirit
is excellent. But the sort of training
that tradition has established as the only
one possible is insufficient.
The more or less leisurely mobilization
on the Texas border is developing the
same old basic weaknesses. 1t is sur.
prising that the evil consequences are
not worse than they are. 1t should De
at this time as clear to the public as It
is to the members of the guard that the
militia system does not provide an ade'
quate reserve. As long as we depend on
the militia as at present organized into
forty eight separate armies. to be weld
ed into one force only after infinite pains,
this country cannot consider itself pre-
pared in military way. Imagine what
would be the conditions OF things If three
OF four really efficient army corps had
taken ship TO cross the Atlantic and were
now making a landing somewhere on our
ooasts.-Sew York Globe

ADVOCATES MORE wARsHIPs,
Famous Explorer Thought United States
Ought TO Be in Second Place.

Advocating fleet OF IS dreadnoughts
to place this nation among the Irst.
class powers of the world. an aerial fleet
superior 10 all and military system
modelled after that OF Switzerland and
Australia, Admiral Robert 4. Peary made
a stirring plea for defense at the Greater
Vermont association meeting yesterday
aftrnoon. As preamble he mentioned
the country's wonderful advancement, its
geographical position and the effect tie
Monroe doctrine had played in United
States history.
He divided his plans for defense pro
gram in three parts, urging first that
eight battleships OF the largest type be
constructed Immediately for service in
the Pacific ocean. eight for the Atlantic
and enough smaller ships so that the
country would be ranked among the
second. class as a fighting power on wat
er Eventually 30 dreadnougths should
be built
At the present time there are only
two aerial stations in the country when
we should have an aerial patrol service
superior TO anything possessed by any
other power France is planning to have
an aerial fleet Of over 10000 ships and
we should have enough so that every bit
of coast could be patrolled. An aeria!
school, similar 10 ones conducted for
chauireurs, should be established with
out delay.
His suggestion that the military sys-
TEN be modelled after that of the great
little European republic, Australia, was
received with much applause Admiral
Peary said that the training would not
be compulsory and men would not be
obliged TO give up vacation TO enjoy
training, but the country would have
100000 trained men to place in the
field in As hours time.
The amount Of money expended by
the warning powers across the ocean in
three DAYS would be sufficient, said the
speaker, TO build such fleet as needed;
two days expense would provide TIE
aerial fleet and one days expense estab-
lish the military system advocated. Re
turning to the aerial possibilities he said
that the men should receive careful train
ing; the providing OF the ships would
be the easier part.
A resolution was introduced by Mr.
Nichols OF Bennington, asking that the
government take steps along the
lines suggested and that the Vermont
legislature appropriate money at the
next biennial session to halp IN the work.

New York medical experts announce
that they think they have cornered the
infantile paralysis germ, the same germ
which the Vermont medical experts, as
sisted by outside scientists have been
chasing for we'll toward year. 1t makes
little difference who locates and recog
nizes the germ, providing the job is done
and done well. We hope that the New
York medical men have accomplished
what they are reported to think they
have done The sooner the germ is

forth in the Somme sector is to bring up
a smashing attack by artillery and then
send forward the infantry to complete
the work of emptying the trenches and
Notifications The slow progress OF the
British and the French recently has been
due, one might Judge through the scant
information gained from the official re-
ports, to the haste to get results with
ont first building firm foundation for
infantry charges in the shape OF artillery
bombardment 1t is possible that the
two allies hesitate to bring their big guns
into the enclosure made by their previous
drive for fear that a sudden, strong Ger
man attack might carry the ground and
force the REIMBURSEMENT OF all or great
er part of the heavy armament. 1t is
possible, too, that the condition of the
ground after heavy rainfall has preclud-
ed the possibility Of bringing the heavy
weapons rapidly up to the new front.
But it is almost certain that just as soon
as the guns repeat the tremendous bonn
bardment which preceded their initial
drive the Germans will be forced to yield
ground. Artillery is playing a very i'm
portant part in the present war.

THE EFFICACY OF ARTILLERY.

As long as the British and the French
used their artillery as a prelude to at
tacks on German trenches in the SOmme
sector they were uniformly successful in
making advances but when they resorted
to attacks without the heavy lombard
ment as a prelude they met with deter
mined resistance or were checked en-
tirely. II was the same with the Ger
mans; they won ground when they first
pulverized their enemy's trenches and
fortifcations with heavy guns, but their
sudden infantry attacks were easily met
by the French in the Verdun sector. The
lesson Of the Anglo French experience in
the Somms region and Of the German ad
vance in the Nerdun district ought TO
tel Generals Foch and Hsig that their
greatest hope OF success from this time

Information that has come to hand in
dicates that the Vermont troops in camp
at Eagle Pass, Tex, are fairly well To-
Gated and are taking as much comfort
as the climate and the rigor of military
routine can allow them. That which is
particularly reassuring is that thus far
there has been comparatively little sick
ness among the men and that they are be
coming accustomed to the work Of being
soldiers, while at the same time they are
becoming acclimated to certain extent.
All this is good news to the people at
home, who are watching the progress of
events on the border with keen interest.

The inactivity OF the allied troops in
Saloniki cannot be explained at this
time when the armies of the allies else
where are engaged in tremendous conflict
with the central powers. 1t is barely
possible that some of the troops there
are being moved to some other war front,
where their services are more immediate
ly needed. Surely 100000 men will not
be allowed to lie in idleness while their
fellows are fighting bitterly to thrust
back powerful foe.
