in Order to Maintain an
Efficient Fighting Organi-
cation.

Universal military training is the
only means of having a highly eff

Hawley 81 Hawley, who has returned
from San Francisco, where he was a
candidate at the second officers train

on account of private business mat

TO continue with the training at this
time.
1.-THE great lesson that have learned
and the one to be learned from the
training camp" said he, lis that no
matter what the advantages of the
present system may be, II the United
Estates is to have efficiency in the high
est sense, II must adopt universal mill
tary training.
There can be no question but what
the system in use, under the present
circumstanc es. is the very best that can
be devised. Relatives and friends OF

commissioned will not do all in their
power to care for and promote the

will go into battle without thorough

YEARS TRAINING NEEDED.
After the officers have been intrain-
Ing for three months at the special
school, IT will take at least nine months
more to whip men for the artillery into
shape so that they will be able to han

The thoroughness of the men In

Mr.. Worthwine. THE officer instruc-
tors are of the highest type" said he,
MANY of them are West Pointers and
others are from the reserve. They
show the men every consideration and
are most courteous They are efficient
and are gentlemen from the ground up,
They realize that the candidates for

FINE SPIRIT SHOWN.
The spirit of the candidates is one
of the most striking things in connec-
ton with the training camp, and 1t
means much for the success of the
system. They are determined to be-
come efficient officers, says Mr..
Worthwine, and we are working zeal
ously to SO equip themselves that they
will be able to render the country serv-
ice In forming an army that will do its
share In destroying military autocracy
There are 1850 men at the Preside
training camp. They are made up
mostly Of professional and business
men, who are making big personal sac
riflces. The average age of the can
didates is probably 81 years. Most of
them are college and university grad
yates. Probably one fifth of the can
didates come from the regular army
and the national guard units. The men
are divided into 10 companies. Nine
companies are infantry, three are field
artillery and one coast artillery. Mr..
WorthWine was assigned to the field
artillery. The candidates are not con-
suited as to which branch they will UNI
dertake to master. Assignments are
made TO the different companies from
the records.
LOTS OF HARD WORK.
Life at the training camp is one CON
tinuous round Of work. The candidate
sees little except his own quarters and
his own company. The business Of the
day Is TO get UP at $50. Reveille is
sounded at 5:45 and the men must be

!. That some employers might take
advantage of an apparent need for
speeding up production to break down
the legislative and Industrial safe
guards with which labor has sur
rounded itself in State and Nation.
.. That labor organizations and
locals might take advantage OF the
pressing need for labor to insist upon

need for Industrial peace could be
said to excuse.
