CADETS OBJECT TO
"SH0RT CUT" WORK

West Point cadets have been "muz-
zled" by the War department for criti-
cism of the Hay National Defence act
What is termed as "muzzle" order has
been issued by Newton D. Baker, secre
TO write even to their parents in dis
paragement of the provisions of the act
The ''muzzle" order reads as follows
"From-The adjutant general of the
army.

States Military Academy, West Point
~ Y
Subiect-Requests for legislation to
be submitted through military chan
nels.
The Secretary of War directs that
cadets be instructed not TO appeal to
their parents or friends to secure leg
islation contrary to the policy of the
War department, and that. in case they
have any legislative policy which they
desire considered, they should submit
their requests through military chan
nels for consideration.
"(Signed) II. p. MCCAIN.
December IS. 1916"
That portion of the Hay act which
the cadets condemn is the provision per-
hitting civilians, enlisted men or mi
litia men to take examinations qualify
ing them for commissions as probat ton
airy second lieutenants. BY decision
of Major General Scott. chief of staff
approved by Secretary Baker, those who
pass the examinations are ranked above
the cadets graduating from West Point

missions.
OF the 500 candidates examined last
August. it was learned 447 qualified for
appointments as second lieutenants IN
the regular army. On December 81. one
day before the "muzzle" order was is
sued. 241 of these probationary second

trunks containing tapestries. linens and

other weapons that had seen service
in Americas different wars. and about
the rooms were pieces of antique furni-
ture and the bell that had repeated the
gnal Liberty Bell message.
Joseph and Samuel Buokowicki longed

ARMOUR BELIEVES IN
HIS MEMS JUDGMENT

Merle Crowell has written an article
for the February American Magazine
about J. o. Armour. the well-known
packer of Chicago. and he says:
In the flurried week before last
Labor day, when a nation wide rail-
way strike seemed just around the cor
nor, an avalanche of messages rolled
in on the telegraph companies. Bust
ness firms were stampeding to the
wires with emergency instructions to
their branch houses and agents. If a
traffic tie-up came. chaos would come
with it.
"One organization had a superlative
interest in the situation. Much of its
alf-billion dollar annual business was
in perishable food stuffs: hundreds of
tons were in transit or temporary stor-
age. Freight stagnation meant a mighty
loss the extent of which would be de-
termined by the agility of its men
ahcld. by the wits of nearly four hun
dred branch house managers.
In this crisis there went out from
the company's main office in Chicago
to each branch house a single message.
1t filled perhaps a line and a half on
the telegraph blank, and read like this
" In the event of a strike we expect
every man to use his own Judgment
NO instance could be more typical
of the way in which j. Ogden Armour
handles his 10000 employees. This quiet.
thoughtful-eyed industrial leader. just
turned SO, is applying handmade bus
mess gospel to the II companies he
controls applying il in a manner so
Invested of show that few people be-
yond his own organization know any
thing about it. In its last analysis
the Armour creed runs
Big men are only little men given
