Army and Navy News

Maj. Gen. P. c. March, Chief OF
Stan, favors a large army made up
principally OF young men. When he
was before fhe Senate Military Com
mittee. with relation to the increase
OF the draft age, he said: The I.ul-
icy OF the War Department is 10 put
the maximum number OF men in
France with the idea OF shortening
the war. We found from The igUles
furnished by the Provost Marshal
General that we could embark on r
program OF eighty divisions "a FI-.rce
by June 80. 1919, with eighteen Gi-
visions at home. These divisions con-
sist of, roughly, 1900 men 20 di-
vision. After prolonged study of the
available man power ot the United
States, the Provost Marshal General
showed that IL was necessary 10 JIop

order to get the men to carry II
through. All OF the men obtained
under the proposed change in the
draft law-approXimately 2,50O.0Oo-we
expect TO have in France by June CO
1919.
My opinion is unqualified in favor
Of the young man.
-
are usually not married: they have
not settled down in life: they have
not any membranes. and they are
better of physically"
The President has finally anncunc-
ed that the American military pol
icy from this time on is centered on
the Western front and we have de-
clined to be diverted from that one
thing. The War Department has
now adopted this as a policy. and
it is the policy OF the United States
that the military program is TO be
centered in France.
II the ages are changed to is TO
IS. the system OF volunteer enlist
ments in the United States army dis
appears.
The purpose of America is to fur
nish enough man power to whip the
Germans from now on. The only
way that Germany can be whipped
is by America going into this thing
with her whole strength.
The authority which was granted
the President in this bill gives him
the power to call out classes, but
does not make It mandatory.
1t is up TO us to win the war. and
We can win il. How long IL will
take will depend exactly upon what
We do. II we drag along with this
thing and put a small force over
there, we will be playing Germany S
game. II is my belief that with an
American army OF 100000 men in
France under one commander in
chief we can go through the Ger
man line wherever we please.
This law will let us lean on Glass
1 until June so of next year.
We reached the conclusion that
the enlarged program was neceS-
sary on the 30th day OF July.
With the cooperation of the trustees
and faculty Of Princeton University
an oficer-material school for the
naval pay corps has been established
at that institution. With the Eradua-

Montana Proud Of Son.

Professor c. T.. Farmer of the forest

studied while at the university, pic
tured Mr.. Cook as a Montanan. He
told of his work as a student, of his
happy disposition, his influence for
good, his admirable character, and his
Industrious habits.
Marcus Cook loved his state and
loved his country" said Mr.. Farmer
He entered the war not to Kill, but
to serve that which he regarded ~
highest in life. He has been called to
pay the supreme sacrifice. We MAY
never know the details of this great
service, but we will ever know that he
paid it cheerfully. Montana and
America are proud of this son who
gave himself to save Them
Louis Denny, a close friend and q
fraternity brother of Marcus Cook told
of the place which Mr.. Cook held
among his fellow students. His re-
marks showed Marcus Cook to be a
clean man, beloved brother and an
admired fellow student.

ether student spoke upon.
To-day Marcus Cook lies on :, for
eign shore said Mr.. Tempctou. but
near that sea which reaches back to
this land which he so well loved and
for which he gave his life. Montana
may wei, be proud to have had such a
son as this. and Scotland. that land
which gave to the world Wallace, and
gave to the world Bruce, may well feel
honored to have such a son buried
on her Shore"
Beautiful music added to the i'm
pressiveness of the occasion.

Mrs. +. L. Cook Of Como. He lived
his whole life in this part of the coun-
