OUR WAR RSTRENC1H
English Military Correspondent
Thinks Well of Us.
REGULARS HIGHLY TRAINED.
Colonel Repington Declares That Capa.
Bile General Staff Exists to Point Way
and That West Point Training and
Discipline Will Assert Themselves
Over Volunteer Army.

London. Colonel Repington, the mil
itary correspondent of the Times,
writes as follows in the course Of an
article on the United States army
THE United States army is a gallant
army, composed of fine men, led by Off
GERS Of high attainments, but ii is not
an army in the modern sense. Won
Hindenburg probably has influenced
the German general staff's view of
American military power as of no ac-
count and probably will remain of no
account during the duration of the
war"
After describing the American army
and militia organization and stating
that the census of 1910 showed 20,000,-
600 men of military age in the country
Colonel Repington proceeds as follows.
The general staff of the United
States army and the many prominent
American statesmen who have been
secretaries OF war or otherwise con-
nected with the army must have work
ed out long ago the plans TO be follow
ed i'm the event of such crisis as has
now arisen.
Direct military Intervention of the
United States I'm the war in Europe Is
not practicable, even were America to
desire 1t. The obvious course is to use
the highly trained regulars, particular
~ the officers, as the nucleus for a vol.
unteer army which should not form at
any one time a force larger than can
be properly trained.
I'VE cannot doubt in the light OF past
experience in American military prac-
tice that In a popular cause recruits
would flock TO the colors by the hun
dreds of thousands. but an army so
formed would be hindrance rather
than help except in case of invasion,
TO which the United States would hard
ly be exposed.
THE United States has one great ad.
vantage She Is self contained and not
exposed to serious attack She In pop.
ulous and wealthy. Potential internal
difficulties may vanish If the country
be united.
"A capable general staff exists TO
point out the way. West Point train.
Ing and discipline will assert them
selves over volunteer army grouped
around regulars and cadets. The war
industries which have been expanded
and created for the service OF the bel.
ligerents Will be at Americas disposal
IF she elects to aid the cause Ii will
prove for her that the old fire IS not
extinct If the aid Of America will be
more useful Immediately In finance and
on the seas the eventual employment
Of her army In support of her policy
must be foreseen"

War SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March 14.-Again the
French and British war office rec
ords gains against the Germans in
France Striking in the Champagne
region on a front of 1900 meters
west of Maisons de Champagne, the
French recaptured all the positions
previously taken by the Germans on
ridge 1876 and also invaded a German
fortified work over a hundred pris-
oners were taken in the operation.
In the Woevre region, near Seiche-
prey, raid on a German trench was
successfully carried out, while at
tacks by the Germans between Sois-
sons and Reims were repulsed
The British entered the German
trenches near Bouchayesnes, north
of Peronne, and also carried out
raids successfully south of Arras.
In the latter sector the German po-
sitions were bombed and many cas-
ualties were inflicted on their occu-
pants.
Heavy artillery activity is in prog
ress in the Ancre and Somme sectors,
according to Berlin. The German
war office reports the stopping of a
French attack south of Ripont, in
Champagne, and also the destruc-

tion of sixteen entente airplanes and
the Germans The London war of
flee announces that nine German ma
chimes were brought down or driven
down damaged. and admits that five
British machines are missing.
On the other fronts, except in Me
sopotamia and Persia, where it is as
sumed both the British and Russians
are still harassing the Turks, only
minor operations have been reported.
As yet the full details of the capture
OF Bagdad by the British have not
been made public, although an
nouneement was made In the British
house of commons that there were
reasons to believe that two-thirds of
the Turkish artillery had been cap
tured by the British or thrown into
the Tigris, and that in addition large
numbers of prisoners and quantities
of materials Of all kinds were taken.
Again the Turks are reported by
Petrograd 70 have made a further re
treat in Persia. this time leaving a
position near Bisitun. twenty miles
northeast of Kermanshah, and re
tiring toward Hadjiabad. Bisitun
was occupied by the Russians.
In Macedonia there has been an
increase in the artillery activity in
the Presba lake and Cerna river sec
tors, probably presaging an early re-
commencement of hard fighting in
this region.
The possibility that Germany is to
have another foe arrayed against
her is indicated in an unofficial dis
patch from Peking. which says the
Chinese house of representatives has
approved the governments diplomat
ic course, which includes the sever
ance of diplomatic relations with
Germany.
