their refusal to be misled by any OF
the optimism and confidence which
radiates from oI-don, on their aIoof-
ness toward the war councils of the
allies. As a result, they take the mega
tive side Of every problem that pre-
sents itself to the War Department
If they had had their way, there
would have been no Pershing
expeditionary force; and today there
would not have been the slightest
chance of the American flag flying
on the lighting front before next
spring at the earliest. They had a
neat little budget of arguments as to
why we should stay at home until
We could spring full-panoplied into
the conflict. When they lost their case,
they forgot their arguments and de-
vised new ones to halt the sending OF
more men.
We hope Secretary OF War Baker
will not hearken to these experts,
but will push our participation in
the war without reference to their
professional gloom.

officer:
BRIG. GEN. FRANCIS ]. HERMAN
Assistant Chief of stan
Born In Florida, October 10, 1859.
and appointed to the Military Acad-
envy In 1877. Upon his graduation In
1881 he was made a second lieutenant
and assigned to the infantry, in which
arm of the service he has served
continuously. He served on the Gen.
eral STAFF from 1906 to 1903 and was
assigned to the Army War College
In 1914.
The Quartermaster Generals De-
partment has sent out kilograms 10
presidents OF fifty-eight hotel asso-
Citations throughout the country re-
questing the loan" OF $50 expert
enced cooks to superintend the kit
chens in the sixteen environments for
the new National Army. For this
work fifteen civilian cooks will be
required for eachh regiment 70 be
formed, making an average OF $40
for each cantonment.
The Quartermaster General has
been authorized 20 organize sixteen
schools for the instruction of cooks
for the Army. The plan Is TO have
school for each National Army can
Torment on September !. when the
mobilization takes place. The cooks
for the organization OF the National
Army will be appointed after the
Army is organized. Therefore, prepa-
ration must be made for feeding the
men when they are assembled at
the cantonments
1t is not the object OF the Quarter
masters Department to make these
especially appointed cooks a perma-
nent part OF the military organlza-
ton. II is believed that their sery-
ices will not be required longer than
from one month to six weeks. In
!, addition to their work of getting the
Army kitchens into running order,
they will be utilized as instructors
for the cooks who are permanently
to serve in the National Army can
tonments. While receiving Govern
ment pay they will be supervised by
trained instructors from the Regu-
lar Army.
The presidents Of the hotel associa-
tons have been asked to act as a
committee in working out this scheme.
Each hotel proprietor who recon-
| mends experienced. relia BILE cooks will
he held responsible for the efficiency
| Of these men. These cooks will be
transported at Government expense
to and from their places Of employ
ment. They will be paid the salaries
they have received at the hotels
which regularly employ them.
1t is planned by the officers of the
Association of Military Surgeons 10
hold an annual convention this year
on October at Indianapolis. There
was no meeting last year on account
OF the mobilization at the border, but
IT is desired to have one this year.
The membership of the association
was never In as prosperous a state
as 1t is now. At the coming conven-
! ton there will be the election Of off,

I tant business.

THE TWO WORLDS WE LIVE IN.

By VINTON A. HOLBRROOk.
About US are two worlds: one full of
strife
And all the huTrying traffic Of this life,
With all the fascinating lures Of sin,
The other is the spirit realm, within.
In one. success depends on tickle
friends
And whatsoever fate. capriclous,
sends;
In tn other it depends on how we
live,
And not on what we get, but what
we give.
In one world our supreme ambitions
flower
When some one dies and drops the
reins Of power;
In the other world no pleasure is
so sweet
As when we lift the fallen to their
feet.
In one we push and jostle one an
other,
Forgetting that the lowest is our
brother;
In the other world the summit of
success
Is just to sweeten lives of bitterness.

1t was due to a chance meeting in
Washington between Sir S. Hardman
Lever and Frank A. Scott that one
of the situations which had OCCASION
ed the War Department and especially
the munitiOn branch great concern,
was relieved. Only one thing now
remains to be done in order to per-
feet a contract entered into in be-
half of their respective governments
by these two men aLC that is. the
appropriation by Congress of 50 1900 900.
A bill calling for that appropriation
Is now before Congress and the gov
eminent has no doubt that the appro-
priation will be authorized. When
the payment is made Great Britain
will transfer to the United States
the contracts her representatives made
two or three years ago with three
plants occupied with the manufacture
of rifles.
Sir Hartman Lever has lived in
the United States twenty years. but
has not taken out naturalization pa
pcrs. He has represented Great Brit
ain in several very important trans
actions, some of them Of a financial
character, and it was because of high
~ satisfactory service OF tnlS klnQ
that King George, some months ago,
knighted him.
Frank A. Scott is the chairman Of
the General Munitions Board at WASH
ington and the service he has per-
formed in that capacity has been
of great value to the government,
explaining in some measure why the
govern nent has been able so rapidly
to take adequate preparations for pro-
viding GU army with munitions.
Mr.. Scott discovered Immediately
after the United States Joined the
belligerents that we were woefully
shy of capacity for manufacturing
rifles. He was persuaded that at
least 100000 rifles should be manu-
featured as soon as possible. but won
dered how this was ~ be done. The

capp. costhaI. and Dsnman.


Goethais is out. capps comes
back" All honor to a naval con-
struetor who left record In the
Navy Department which win never
be surpassed. and he knows as
much about building ships-at least
navy ships-as any man In the
world
In untangling the shipping snarl
the President sought no further
compromise. but fired" both Goe-
thals and Denman. and there will be
few in the country to criticise his
choice. Maj. Gen. Cocktails perhaps
Is the victim of unfortunate cir
eumstances. He came to washing
ton. seemingly thinking he was to
be in absolute control OF the build
ing of ships. He soon found out
that his control was hampered and
restricted in many ways. He was
courageous enough to fight for
what he deemed his rights. and in
so doing precipitated a frst-class
row which has lifted both him and
Mr.. Denman out of the forum of
public squabble and debate for the
time being. 1t is to be hoped that
Gen. Cocktails services are not lost
to the nation. There is more than
suggestion that Secretary of War
Baker will find another great en-
cheering task for him to under
take.
There will be little sympathy
gwen to Mr.. Denman, although he
doubtless is entitled to 1t. He also
fought for what he deemed his
rights. and there Is reason to be-
lieve that he was encouraged by
certain powerful influences in the
administration. Certainly he was
right in pitting himself against the
autocratic spirit which Gen. Goe-
thals showed on more than one oc-
casiOn. He was wrong, doubtless,
in exalting the quarrel to a point
where it became imperative for the
President to intervene. As a poll
tician and as a lawyer, he must
have realized the inevitable end of
the tactics in which he allowed him
self to be ensnarIed.
Admiral Sapps returns to the SER
vice of the nation under suspicious
circumstances. There is confidence
in Washington that he will prove
equal to his task. 1t is certain that
he and Edward n. Hurley will not
allow themselves to be caught in
any controversy of the kind which
brought their predecessors to grief.
Admiral Caps was chief of naval
construction over a long period of
years, and the development of the
Dreadnought came when he was in
power. The fight between the line
and the staff in the navy. of which
he was a leading figure, has Ions
since been forgotten.
We ought now to get down to the
solid work of building ships. We
may trust Admiral Capps to give
careful survey to the wooden ship
idea, which Goethals blocked. If
the primal need of the tonnage
situation is speedy construction,
!. then wooden ships must be built.
But there is no convincing evidence
so far that this is the case. The
submarine is not making such in
roads on tonnage that small. tenn
poTary ships-Of no use to the
United States after the war-must
dominate our shipbuilding program.
There is no telling, however, what
the next few months may bring
forth as regards the submarine.

France and the ARMY.

The military program is shifting.
Certain reactiOnary forces are at work
upon it. At least, this is the ground
work of reports in the War Depart
ment which are constantly increas-
ing in force and number.
The change is in the way of greater
conservatism ; Of a feeling that the
original plan of sending several hum
dred thousand men overseas before
the winter cannot be carried out, and
that it will be found equally imprac-
tcable to send a force worthy of the
name and power of the United States
to the French front next summer.
Just now the army is undergoing an
attack Of the "glooms." Officers say
the war is going against the allies
They think the American army will
be utterly unable to turn the tide.
Why this spirit of retrenchment and
Of reaction in military circles?" may
be asked. There are many angles to the
answer. The firstis growing conviction
that the submarine will come danger
ously near to winning the war for
Germany; that it will create such. a
tonnage shortage that the task of
sending a huge force to France-and
OF subsisting it after it gets there-win
be beyond American resources for a
year or more. Some experts say the
C-boats may be able to make it the
biggest kind of a hazard to send
another fleet of troop transports across
the Atlantic. They say shipping is
disappearing so fast that the problem
Of supplying the allies with needed
materials will tax all the resources of
the nation, without the added strain
Of Transporting and maintaining our
own forces abroad. They ridicule the
plan Of sending a formidable portion
Of the National q: ard to France be-
fore the winter sets in.
There is another side to the answer.
Certain elements in the army have
never forgiven President Wilson for
overruling their dictum that not a
single American soldier should be
sent overseas until the new national
army was trained and equipped. They
resented the counsel of JOffre and re-
ject all points of view but their own.
These men are waiting for the oppor-
tunity to reassert their authority, to
regain control Of our military pro-
gram. Most of them, before the
United States went into the war, were
pro-German at least to the extent
that they believed in the German milf
tary system, and were ready to go
to almost any length to establish it
in the United States. Universal mill
tary training and service in peace
times was the fundamental Part of
the system to which they were COM
mitted. Dove-tailing with this blind
belief in the German system was a
species of contempt, kind of plying
tolerance, for the military power and
tactics of the entente, and utter un-
belief in the idea that there was any
prospect Of defeating Germany. These
officers were decidedly cold toward
the war VIXEN it came, and in the
academic sense-without affecting their
duty or their patriotism-they have
been cold toward it ever since.
These men pride themselves on their
ability to see faSe in the raw. on

German Paper Predicts
End Of Ships in As Months

Amsterdam, July 24-The Sunday
edition of the Weser Sseitung OF Bre-
men. under the caption, "Only Pa
ence" places the net monthly loss
through submarine operations, after
deductng new construction, at 100, 900
to 10000 gross tons.
From this Jthe newspaper comes to
the conclusion theoretically that in
forty-five months time the last mer-
chairman will be sunk.
1t adds for its readers comfort. how
ever. that England must give in
much earlier. being already obliged to
withdraw tonnage from the navy for
merchantile purposes.
