Need for More ConsuIs.

The chairman of the shipping board
has called the attention of congress
and the people TO the need of enlarg-
ing our consular service abroad, in
view of the fact that our great mer-
chant marine will be released for use
i'll foreign trade.
Mr.. Hurley tells us, observes the In
dependent New York;, that the Uni
ted States will have 25.000.000 tons of
merchant shipping by the end of 1920,
freed from military work they will en-
ter commerce. The present cOnsulates
would be entirely inadequate to handle
this enlarged business. There are not
enough of them, their staffs are too
small ana they are handicapped by in
experience with duties that will be de-
manded and by antiQuated regulations.
Even now the burden of work, espe-
cially in the way of inquiries to be an
swered, is overtaxing the undermined
and underpaid force. Mr.. Hurley
therefore pleads that immediate steps
be taken to remedy the situation.

not provide them today and prepare

marine and trade after the war, fear
that we shall suffer serious break

Italian Mission to Washington
Says Big Armies Suppress
BoISheviSm.
U. S. TO POLICE EUROPE, PLAN
Colonel PizzarelIo Declares American
Troops Are the Finest Men in
the World, and Are Ideal
for Such Service.

Washington. Dec. 31.-Allied mill
tary representatives will be unanimous
in urging upon the peace conference
the necessity of maintaining in Europe
for at least two years larger standing
armies than in peace times, according
to Col. Ugo Pizzarello, one of Italy's
most famous war heroes, who has ar
rived in Washington from Rome en-
route to the large American cities.
Colonel Pizzarello for two and one
half years was in the battle line under
General BadOglio. second in command
OF the Italian army. He has been
prominent in the councils of the Ital-
ian military experts and besides some
twenty decorations for valor and serv-
ice was one of the twenty-six Italian
heroes awarded the gold medal of val
or by King Victor Emmanuel.
He discussed the questions involved
in rehabilitation, the controlling stra-
tegic elements of future war, the les
sons Italy gained from the small
American forces sent to her battle
front and the new spirit which has
come to all Italy as a result Of the
struggle.
Colonel PizZarellO said:
"A report without foundation has
lando has said the Italian army shall
not disband because of future difficult
ties which may lie ahead.
1--WE cannot believe this statement
was made, for only today we have re-
ceived definite denials in the copy of
an order by which Is classes of the
army are to be demObilized at once,
or half our army of 100000. The la
Dor situation, lack of food and trans
pOrtation and other difficulties prevent
a greater disqualification now.
But it must be borne in mind that
among the leaders of all the allied
armies the opinion is held that If the
new nations of Europe are to be pro-
tected from bolshevism and the law
lessness of unframed men, Europe
must maintain larger armies for two
years than she did in peace times.
Il do not mean the new republics
need the pressure of armed forces, but
that they must be able to protect them
selves from the unrest which any pc
Rod of reconstruction breeds. 1t is
certain such thought will be expressed
strongly at the peace conference.
"In this policing of Europe Ameri-
can troops would be ideal. They dis
closed themselves to us as the finest
men of the world. Their ardent spirit
in battle, their daring, resourcefulness
and ability to work with troops of
other nations without friction, prove
them capable of any task.
"In particular, l must praise their
elastic administration. Our army is
tied by red tape, as is every army in
Europe. The Americans have an adj
ministratiOn which gives every officer
powers and initiative envied by every
European officer"

Worried About Indians.

Many are the questions that come to
the touring bureau of the California
State Automobile association. ana
some of them are passing strange.
Like, for instance, one that was re-
ceived a few days ago from an east
ern city. The writer was contemplate
ing a cross-country tour and, after ask
ing many questions about the various
routes and the condition of the high
WAYS, concluded with the question:
rs there any danger of encounter
ing Indians en- route?
Matt T. Barnes. the secretary, wrote
the very best letter he could, in reply,
and assured the gentleman that he
would be more secure from harm on
the western plains and mountain
passes today than on some of the
streets Of New York or Chicago.

NO DISGRACE TO FEEL FEAR
One Result of War Has Been Saner
Idea of What Constitutes
Real Bravery.

An English observer calls attention
to the fact that our world war has
destroyed the fear of being afraid.
Heretofore, even to most distant an
tiquity, the one quality insisted on in
the soldier was that he should be
fearless and the more callously so the
better. The faintest tremor of timid-
ity was a black mark against the most
respondent knight as Well as the low
Hest bowman or halbardier, and the
schooling for war was an utter den
ance of the personal risk.
This theory held, as many will re-
member. even till the period OF the
Boer war, when the British suffered
so severely in officers because 1t was
held cowardly for a commander TO
seek cover. Men, then as now. felt
fear, for that is one of fieshs attr1-
butes and, indeed. is one of the most
valuable of human possessions, since
fear is our protection from dangers
and harms innumerable. We fear wild
beasts to avoid them. snakes and
SpAuSiS W lhSlC Jul U1e~AN'O-''
storms and tempests that we may pre-
pare means of escape from them.
So it was only In battle that chiv-
airy insisted that man should be with
out fear, or pretend to be.
With the coming of new warfare,
however, all lands at once came TO a
more sane understanding and the old
physical bravery has given place TO
moral resolution. The man who now
enters the hell of shell fire, of hurled
flames and deadly gases, no longer
attempts to fool himself into the be-
lief that he is not afraid. He knows
full well and only a stupid nature
could avoid the knowledge that the
human is at the mercy of forces
million times beyond his own ability
to counter. The old knight might
really believe he was able to unhOrse
all the enemies that rode against him
and therefore might conceivably be
without fear, but how can soldier
feel that way when facing modern
weapons of destruction?
Therefore, it Is no longer dis
grace to feel fear or TO admit it; the
only disgrace Is to allow fear to pre-
vent one doing his duty. How much
finer fiber is needed for this new de-
fiance!
