To Act as Training School.

After the 100000 officers and non-com-
missioned officers have been withdrawn
and assigned to the new army, the first
line troops will need a period of further
training in which the men and officers
promoted to fill the vacancies can be sea-
soned to their new duties. The force will
still act as a school, however, to pro-
duce additional training personnel for the
second half million or any other addi-
tlonal forces called out.
presumably these first-line troops,
after eight or ten months of training
could furnish a thoroughly trained and
equipped eXpeditionary force if that
We're desired. They would be considered
fully trained to meet any emergency
by that time, and behind them would be
formed successive waves of supports
and reserves which could go forward
as need arose In effect. the admins
tration bill provides for setting up and
maintaining a. system which viii
promptly duplicate any force sent to
the front in an additional reserve line
under training at home, leaving always
three lines of not less than 100000 men,
who are either ready or being put in
readiness for actual fighting.

Necessity for Training Officers.

The writer emphasizes the necessity
of systematic training of officers and
points out that the experience of the
allies has been that this is best done At
the seat of war. He continues:
Every facility Will certainly he ac-
corded by the allies if America takes
this hint from our experience and
sends batch after batch of officers and
non CONS to be trained in our schools
or similar schools to he established by
the American army. We fully
expect that American science and in
vention Will teach the United States a

The correspondent concludes by in
sistlng on the necessity of countering
the submarine menace before every
thing else, in order to clear the Allan
tic for the passing of the American
army and supplies. ITO this task" he
concludes. the skill and value of the
American and allied navies must be un-

MILITARY EXPERTS

British Writers Favor Using
Regulars as Nucleus of

EXPERIENCE OF ENGLAND

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 10.-The Times mill
tary correspondent. discussing Ameri-
can participation in the war, heartily
indorses the apparent intention of the
American government to use the regu-
lar army and the National Guard as a
nucleus for the formation of a national
army. He recalls what serious dis
advantage it was to Great Britain to be
compelled to throw her regular forces
into the fighting line in 1914 because
of Frances urgent need of help.
'1f the United States" he says,
cares to send a regiment or two to
London or Rome to affirm the solidarity
of the allied cause, 1t would be grace
full and rightly appreciated act. But
this war is very serious business. and
for the national army which America
proposes to create the whole of her
existing professional corps is little
enough. We shall not misunderstood
American action in the least if we have
to wait some months until her first
divisions. well equipped and thorough
ly trained, make their appearance in
France.
Hastily formed and unframed levies
are useless. Our new armies
in 1914 took nine months in forming
before the first division had arrived in
France, and this division took three
mouths more to harden in trench war
fare before it could safely engage in a
great attack. America may be able to
curtail these periods and send over a
few divisions this autumn; but it will
hardly be this year that America is
adequately represented on the battle
field. Germany reckoned on this delay
when she deliberately preferred the
hostility of the United States to aban-
donment of ruthless submarine war

FREEDOM CAUSE OF INSANITY
Mental Disease Prevalent In Russia
After the Revolution IL Termed
liz Macs Psychosis.S m

The Russian revolution has produced
q mental disease which Is character
! lied by Prof. p. J. Rosenbach, presi-
dent of the Association of Phychiatr-
lists, as mass psychosis." In other
words. the birth of political freedom
has been driving many persons insane.
It is mistake to assume that war
makes sane men mad, according to
Professor Rosenbach, who says that
during the war he has treated between
5000 and 1000 insane soldiers, but
That in no case did he discover that
the victims mental affliction had been
caused by war horrors or privations.
During the first month Of the revolu-
don the rate Of morbidity from mental
disease rose to an astonishing extent.
Professor Rosenbach inquired into the
victims antecedents and found, he
rays, that these men and women had
been entirely normal and that they did
not come from tainted families. He
ascribes their sudden insanity to the
sudden and drastic changes In Russian
political, social and intellectual life.
One Of the symptoms of "mass psy-
ehosis," he says. is ':infatuation with
committees, delegations and demon.
strations." Similar phenomena were
observed during the French revolution
after the war of 1901, Professor
Rosenbach observes.
Cave Men In America.
The cave man has long been sup
posed to have lived only in the old
world, and If the term is used to mean
the very primitive species of homo
sapiens, this is true. Explorations
made in Kentucky this year by sclen.
lists Of the American museum, how.
ever, show that primitive men did live
In caves in America. In the Mammoth
cave and others they found unmistak'
able evidence that the mouths of the
Kentucky caverns were used as dwell.
Ing places and that the Indians ex.
plored the caves and mined quartz In
them. This is especially interesting
because it is known that Indians did
not live In this region after its discov-
cry by white men. The American
cave dwellers. therefore, must have
belonged to an earlier period.

RussIa's Platinum Production.
The production of platinum in the
Ural district in Russia in 1915 is esd-
mated by correspondent Of the Lon
don Mining Journal at only 1854
troy ounces, against 107.774 ounces in
1915; >158,774 ounces in 1914, 1892
ounces in 1913 and 175,381 ounces in
1912. The decrease last year extend
ed to nearly all the districts, but was
most marked on the Demidov estates
and the Shuvalov placers. The short
age Of labor has been one Of the causes
of the decrease. The fact that all
crude platinum is now requisitioned by
the government has led, it is believed,
to the concealment of some quantities,
so that the figures given are below the
real output. A considerable quantity
Of crude platinum is understood to be
held by Russian banks, which ad-
vanced money to the producers before
the metal was taken by the govern
ment. = %....,. =,

A broadly representative crowd

eight months of watchful waiting on
the Mexican border. Men, women and
children from all parts of Columbia

The women outnumbered the men-
due partly, perhaps, to the champion

woman's greater instinct for hero
worship.
The soldiers were modest and unas-
suming. Unless one knew them per-
sonally. they could not be distinguish

members of the company had agreed
to wear their uniforms, but, when the

PRESERVING AN ASSET

If anything distinguishes MissouI
from its sister states, it is the richnes
of its historic past and picturesqu
present. Famous Missourians hav
painted in flashing colors upon his
tory's pages the progress of thi
Gateway of the West" Yet the eff
forts Of these heroes alone will no
preserve to posterity what is perhap:
the states greatest asset.
The new state capitol is the legical
hall of fame in which to preserve the
underlying principles upon which Mis-.
souri, stands-the events which, step
by step. have led to its present great
ness. Caught by the artists brush up
on the walls of this stately pile, the
scintillating history Of the state will
stand monument to its strength for
all to see. Missouri's progress, pic
tured and set before the eyes of its
people. will bring nearer to them a
glorious past which otherwise may
seem all too dim and unreal. Few.
perhaps realize all that stands back
Of Missouri, its long struggle up the
years of progress, its vivid history
which few states can equal-for in
Missouri is written the opening and
development of the great West.
History is always in the making,
always fast receding into the hazy and
dream-like past. 1t too soen becomes
as printers ink on white paper. To
paint upon the walls of the capitol the
events which built up Missouri-is to
preserve in the present an asset which
is well on the road to the dead halls
Of the past
A bill asking for the appropriation
of $4,000 for the decoration of the
new state capitol has been introduced
in the Legislature. This amount is to
come from the fund voted by the peo-
pie for the building. 1t is not money
that can be used for anything else
This bill should be called out and
passed before the opportunity to per-
form great and lasting service to
posterity has passed.

was close to the 1000 mark.
When it is considered that the mill.
tax assessment would be only 10 cents

tio of 1000 to 1. The voters should

There is no comparison between the
benefits to be obtained from a public

taxpayers. A modern public library
would be a permanent monument to
the vision of present-day Columbians.
