 The British dream of an all-rail route from Cairo to the Cape will be realized in the absorption of German East Africa, the conquest of which has been completed by the forces of the Union of South Africa This un- ion has also taken possession of Ger man Southwest Africa. If Great Bri- tain can affect a deal with Portugal for Portuguese East Africa, the whole southern part of the continent will come to the control of the British.
 It is said that Great Britain, in the redistribution of Africa. will be willing to give up her possessions on the west coast in order to obtain su- premacy in the east and south. Bel gium and Portugal will probably re- tain their hold on Central Africa and perhaps increase their sterngth there.
 The plans understood to have been tentatively made do not provide for the retention of Germany of sin gle foot of African territory.

u. S. Cadets Win Praise in Canadian Aviation Camp

Camp. There they will receive their
practical training in flying.
Anxious to Fly
The Americans at Long Branch are
very anxious to know the sensation of
flying, and they bre glad when the
word comes that they may proceed to
another camp. Sometimes they are
sent first to the School Of Military
Aeronautics in connection with the
University of Toronto. 1t is necessary
for every cadet to pass through the
school some time in his course. So far
none of the cadets has had time to
complete the full training.
Every American cadet is a college
graduate, and consequently the cslibre
of the men is very high. One of the
cadets from Plattsburg was in a COM
pany with three of Colonel Roosevelt's
sons. Three worlds champion tennis
players were in the same company.
The cadets came in groups Of twenty
five from the different officers training
camps. Nearly all of them at Long
Branch live in tents.
Among the American camps which
have been represented at Long Branch
are: Fort Niagara, Fort Sheridan, Illi-
nois; Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indi-
ana; Plattsburg. n. Y; Fort Myer, Viz
ginia; Fort Ogelthorpe. Georgia, and
Fort Riley, Kansas.

principal change recommended by Colo
mel Wolf is curtailing indoor study
work in favor Of field operations out
of doors. Major Edgar T. Collins, re-
Gently appointed to the General Staff,
who commands the New York regiment,
looks favorably on the Canadian depot
system of training. Under the depot
system a man leaves the training school
for service with a regiment as soon as
he is qualified to handle troops"
II this method had been in effect
here, Major Collins asserts, many men
could have been released after six
weeks and their places taken by others.
Thus the camp is a continuous per-
Torrance, men coming and men going
all the time, and the length of every
mans stay in the depot is governed by
his ability to learn. Major Collins also
favors dividing the camp into the arms
Of the service in which the men elect
TO serve at the outset, instead of hav-
ing a month of universal infantry train
ing. But whatever the change in the
next camp, which opens here for New
Workers on August 81, the camp now

the past six weeks the success of the
camp has been assured. 1t was not
assured, however, without some eX-
traordinary labor. With one regular
army instructor to 15O men the indi-
vidual instruction which had been
planned was out of the question.
Method of Instruction
The situation forced new method
individual instruction given collec-
lively. Here is an example of how il
was done. Suppose a candidate was
being taught the duties of commander
of the advance guard. The company
would be formed as an advance guard
ahead of an imaginary column and the
pupil would be placed in charge, under
the supervision of the instructor. By
the old method he alone would be the
commander for the day or during the
period of the lesson.
Under the Plattsburg system every
man in the company was instructed be-
fore the unit left camp as TO the work
ahead of him and every man was a
potential commander. Candidate Brown,
say, would be selected to form the COM
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-08-12

what they know they know-and they
know a lot. But most important OF
all, they have acquired an attitude
of mind, the attitude of the successful
commander.
Record at Pistol Practice
"Some truly remarkable things have
happened in this camp. Our record at
pistol practice, just to cite one Of
numerous examples, don't believe has
parallel in the military history of
this country. Five thousand men were
rushed through this course in the use
of the new automatic pistol, which in
cludes the charging Of trenches, firing
ball cartridges as they dash forward
under conditions Of excitement APP
preaching the stress Of battle, with a
pistol in one hand and a rifle in the
other. Yet there was not single &C
cident during the course. 1t wasn't ali
due to luck, either. These men know
their business"
Major Stewart believes, as doe,
Colonel Wolf, that the second series Of
camps can proceed on the same sched-
ule, with certain notifications, that was

Enthusiastically declared one young
graduate of the Plattsburg Officers
Training Camp. AT Plattsburg we
had only about an hour day that we
could call our own"
"How long do you think it will be be-
fore you see France?" one OF the boys
was asked.
1--WE haven't any idea. Some OF the
men will probably be sent direct from
here 10 France. while others OF us will
return 70 the States TO give instruction
to our own fiiers."
The Royal Flying Corps officers will
not tell what is the ultimate goal Of
the Americans. While here they are
under the supervision OF the Royal
FLYING Corps, and can be disciplined
for any breach of training rules.
There is an arrangement between the
governments Of Canada and the United
States" said Lieutenant Stewart, but
we are not at liberty to say what that
arrangement is"
The instruction given at Long Branch
is elementary work, preliminary TO
more extended course. When the
cadets have finished their three weeks
training at Long Branch they are sent
TO any one of the many flying camps at
or near Toronto. They may be sent to

ending will be the model, for, as Major
Stewart says:
"We know what it will produce. We
put the grist in the hopper well aware
what the result will be three months
hence"
The camp was not brought to a
successful conclusion, however, with
out It's trials. There were dark periods
when it looked as if it would be impos-
sible to continue with the hope Of
gaining anything like the desired re-
suits. This was true in the early days
Of the camp especially, when the ex-
pansion Of the regular army and the
sending of Pershing's force overseas
robbed Colonel Wolf of nearly half Of
his instructors, who already were far
too few. For days the wires between
here and Washington we're hot with
appeals and protests against the re-
moval of regular army officers from
their posts as tutors TO the candidates.
Ultimately Colonel Wolf managed to
get a minimum of instructors, together
with a pledge from the War Depart
ment that they would not be removed.
Then things began to crystalline, and for
