like an attempt to create in the Army
an operative power in the general
staff.
1t would be unfortunate for the
Army If a matter Of personal feel
ing should be permitted to influence
action upon the reorganization plan
{ that must sooner or later be consid-
cred. In point of theory it is the Sec
retary of War who controls the Army.
but 1T has been generally recognized
that during the months shortly pre-
ceeding the signing of the armistice
the guiding spirit of the Army was
the chief of staff. at least as far as
military operations were concerned.
1t must be conceded that. the gen.
era! staff was not all that could be
desired; and it is equally true that
the Army supply system was not in
all respects the ideal system. But
the stan system. such as it was. was
better than the lack of syst(& that
mad prevailed; and the supply21xs EN-
which Maj Gen. Goethals organized
and directed was altogether success
full as compared with the lack of
system that up to his time had OBJ
tanned in the War Department,
one of the charges seriously ex-
pressed against the supply system
| is that it accumulated a reserve of
food and subsistence so great that it
, cannot be sold to economic advan-
tage. 1t is quite probable that II the
| German high command had confided to
the United States Army that it intend
ed to quit at 12 o'clock November II,
: 1918. the supply would have been re-
duced; but in the absence of such in
formation it was the duty of the sup
ply department to heap up that re-
serve. until there was no possi-
bility of a shortage in the United
States Army. Most of the time
the fear had been all on the
other side of the question: and
until Maj. Gen. Gothals had institut-
+ ed the system of centralized purchas.
: ing for the Army and of centralized
control over shortage and transporta-
tion there had been great danger of
shortages. Equally true it is that
until Gen. Goethals took over trans
portation there was little prospect
that the Army could be taken to the
other side; and it was not until he
had cleared up the congested port
terminals that the way became clear
for the movement of troops to France
and for their supply after they ar
rived. II
To argue that the continuance of
the old chaotic conditionssjn the War
Department could have .s3Aured these
ends is scarcely tenable sI9ome other
method had to be instiHsted. That
the best result possible MAS secured
cannot be pretended; but perhaps it
was as good as could be asked for
an administration that had neglected
all preparation during the period of
waiting for what seemed like, and
what proved to be, an inevitable con-
flict. 1t is now known that the Army
recommended the creation and train
ing OF an Army Of million
men prior to 1917; but that ad-
vice was discarded. Such an at
tempt would have disclosed the
inherent weakness of the old, or
ganization and would haye given the
War Department opportunity to Gre
ate an organization even more ef-
icient than the one that conducted

Imitation.

From the Milwaukee Journal.
Much has been said about imitation.
Most people ignore the meaning. Of
the term because imitation comes upon
the country so silently and gradually
that it's effect is not noticed. In war
time there is an inevitable expansion
of the credit currency outrunning the
needs Of the business done. A cheap
ened medium of exchange means In
justice and suffering to all those with
more or less fixed ins omes. The cost
of the war, of course. increases in the
same proportion as the decrease in
the value Of money. This in turn ne
cessitates heavier taxation and more
bond issues. and 50 the vicious circle
runs. To large extent these are
burdens incident to the war, but they
can be made lighter by consistent
saving. II every one will save to the
utmost, the financial and monetary
situation will not get out Of hand.

their ability to handle their men un-

1t was the good fortune of this divi-
