Hits at Historians.

The speaker characterized the atti-
tude of Americans on this question, mp
to the last few years, as 'proneness
to live in FOOLS paradise" and struck
sharply at historians for 80 distorting
the facts connected with the military
history of the country that children
are brought up in the false impression
that the United States is invincible In
arms. He stated that the minimum
number Of men needed in the standing
army Of the country is 100000
A tribute to the effective system Of
training intensively at Plattsburg was
paid by John f. Laskey, district attor-
ney. who attended the August camp OF
this year. Mr. Laskey explained to his
audience the daily life Of the rookie
while in camp. and closed with the
statement that he had been informed
by officers in the regular army that
they never would have believed that
unframed men could attain to the de-
gree OF proficiency which character
izes Plattsburgers after months
work had they not witnessed the

The statement Of Mr.. Laskey was
borne out by Maj. NJ. z. Stuart. L. S. A..
who outlined the work at the camps
from the officers viewpoint. He said
that one of the big lessons learned by
members of the camps was the DIFF
ference between personal preparedness
and national preparedness. He further
claimed that 1t is the opinion OF army
officers that one month of training at
Plattsburg. involving 200 hours of in
tensive work. is the equivalent OF three
and a half months in the regular army
and three years in the organized mill :

INTERESTING FIND
BY CROWD CHILDREN

London, May 10.-Children playing
on the mound which had probably
been raised over the grave of some
Viking leader at Valtos in the island
of Lewis, one of the Hebrides group,
recently discovered a number of Vik-
ing relics of the ninth century. They
consisted of a pair of large oval
brooches of noted Scandinavian
type, small brooch, a round disc
shaped ornament with central boss
and a decoration of interlaced loops,
a small buckle, portion Of bronze
chain probably used to connect the
large oval brooches and a single big
amber bead. These articles had be-
come exposed by the recent heavy
gales in the sand close to the sea
at Valtos.
