EXPERTS DISAGREE.

In his testimony before the senate military committee
last week General McComb president of the war college,
said that most people utterly mscacuated the amount
of training necessary for infantry soldier. He est
mated that would take two years of five hours intensive
work day to make ''what we call good infantry sol
der On the other hand General Murray said that in
1899 he had organized regiment OF volunteers which,
after three months training under an intensive SYSTEM
had developed into well drilled and disciplined force
any regiment in the service regular or volunteer
Other officers he said had agreed with him after seeing
the regiment on duty i'll the Philippines.
OF the uninstructed layman can see that
much would depend the intelligence and character OF
the General Murray may have had material far
above the average. But it is nevertheless fact that In
three months he developed regiment fine as any In
the army Probably it would be fair to say that the time
needed is somewhere between two years and three months
The English have made good soldiers out of recruits
in six months year. some of the former, we under
stand having rendered good service in the trenches On
the basis of General Mrays experiment. and the expert
Of the English in this war, one would think that
maximum period Of one year would suffice for the making
of good infantry soldier.
But the divergence of opinion between these two a

the time required to make soldier depends the amount
OF work done each day The regiment that General Muir
ray got into shape in three months always ION the
job And this, of course is true of the English volun
teers 1t would not be with those of whom General
McComb speaks, for they would devote but five hours
day to drill They would presumably, not live in camp
all the while and certainly would not give their whole
time to things military In favoring enlistments for
year, General Murray to accept the theory that it
would take at least that to make good soldiers out of those
who enlist in the regular army. Much depends the
the question thus raised for the size of regular
army would depend very much on the time needed to mold
volunteers into soldiers. Further information the
subject will be welcomed by all who trying to form

NF course you remember Jimmy
l Graytail, the pretty little
- squirrel who lives in the big
city park. Have you ever wondered
what he has been doing all this long
winter?
Jimmy has been having a very
good time-he always does, you
know, because he always manages to
be very busy. and being busy and
being happy are so nearly the same
thing there's no use quarreling
about the differencei
When the cold autumn days came
piling one on tsp of the other, Jimmy
didn't care one bit, not he! For he
knew that he was ready for winter!
You should have seen his home
so full of stored-away nuts that he
almost had to move out; and still
the boys and girls came every Sum
day land sometimes ON Saturday,
and brought him more. Jimmy was
'sery popular, as you can guess by
that.
After he had his house in the tree
all full of nuts, he began storing
the extra food in tiny holes in the

and the storms or anything.
But one day Jimmy had an awful
shock.
He was playing around In among
the bushes when suddenly he felt
hungry. very, very hungry; so hun

he could go back to his nest and get
his dinner. "Oh, well, don't have
to go way back there" he said to
himself, 81 can eat right here. And
isn't it a good thing that / slowed
away food all around"
He scampered over towards the
bushes; found the place where he
had only two weeks before buried
three fine big peanuts; and began
digging. He dug and he dug, he
made the dirt fairly fly; but no nuts
did he find.
