to the fact that militarism does not

Some idea of what American army
officers are learning on the battlefields
of Europe was given the Senate mill
tary committee yesterday by Col.
Charles G. Treat of the Army War Col
'ege. Much of what the colonel said
was treated as confidential, but 1t is
known that he told the committee there
was an American observer with the
armies of each belligerent nation. and
that their reports to the War College
had been of great value in the prepara-
ton of new army plans.
AS matter of course. Col. Treat
said none of the observers would send
home during the war information which
might be of value to other belligerents

Washington. July 14.-Tragic stories

and preventing any more loss Of life.
Instructions We're sent by the treass

resorts of their presence.
Secretary Redfield told the cabinet
that the government fisheries bureau
had been unable to offer any scientific
explanation of the attack on human
beings by sharks.
Formal statements made public by
Acting Commissioner Moore. Of the
fisheries bureau. said the bureau ex-
perts reluctantly had been compelled
to come to the conclusion that no eff

small number of attacks compared
with the many bathers, with the sug-
gestion that there appeared to be no
reason for a panic at seaside resorts.
