they were not surprised They had come
to know such an act as characteristic Of
their commander.
In a strictly military sense, the gen
eral was more OF student than any
man in the line His spare moments
from early morning till hate at night
were taken up with palnstaking study
Of all that the war had contributed to
military science. He persistently re.
fused invitations to speak or appear at
functions outside of the camp, knowing
that these would steal time from his
Investigations and from the mems prog
ress.
Through no fault of its own, the 18th
division, so prepared, never had chance
to contribute it's might directly to the
downfall of Germany. II will always be

Mccain and His Men.

The last few days have witnessed the
breaking up of the Plymouth division,
that splendid body of young Americans
who trained at Camp Devens during he
closing months Of the war. The 'a3 Of
the organization remains, for Il
to be one Of the divisions OF
peace army. But most OF ir- IS
are returning to their civilian yI.auits.
For them there is the satisfaction which
comes from patriotic service faithfully
rendered, and from the knowledge that
as unit they reached in very few
months an organized efficiency which
won praise from the military experts at
Washington, as among the highest at.
tanned in the army. TO Major General
Henry Pinckney Mccain, in whose hands
the command of the Plymouth division
has stood since last summer the passing
of the organization is tinged with sad
ness As an American he reioiced in the
early cessation of the war and its suffer
ings, but as a soldier he regrets the ne.
cessity which takes from him the boys
whose interests he has so jealously
guarded and for whom he had come to
feel an affection akin to that of par
ent.
When the general was assigned to
Camp Devens in the latter days of Au.
gust, he faced a task which would have
disheartened a less courageous officer
The war department had given him two
regular army regiments as a nucleus, but
even these were for the most part draft
ed men with little military experience.
The remaining units comprised sturdy
New England boys fresh from farm and
factory and office. And still the cry was
lifted, "In France before the snow flies.
No simple task this-t0 prepare a raw
division for overseas service in less than
three months. Yet it was done. In DC
tober inspectors came on from Washing
ton. Their satisfaction with what they
saw soon became evident The 18th di-
vision was raised to a high place on the
shipping schedule; the advance school
detachment received its orders and sailed
for France; the rest of the division was
told be be momentarily ready, For two
weeks the camp hustled with the activ-
| ity of final preparation. Indeed, it was
DAYS after the armistice had been signed
| before the machinery of the camp began
to slow down, as the knowledge gradual
ly sank into the mind Of officers and
men that the division was not to go, aft
er all.
This brief military history, however,
does not begin to tell how much General
Mccain had to do with it. He and the
Plymouth division, it should be under
stood, constitute outstanding examples
of the French idea that the personality
of the commander is the greatest single
factor in the fighting efficiency of a mill
tary organization, Very early the gen
eral began to bring this idea into the
realm of actulity--to let his soldiers
know and feel his presence, He dropped
in upon them--at formations, at mess,
in their hours Of recreation. They soon
understood, too, that he came not to spy
upon them but to offer help wherever
help was needed. During the epidemic
he lost no opportunity to cheer the

time for the embarkation Of the goth by
saying that when they did come they
would be unloaded at Boston, which was
really little new information and which

quent inspections of state institutions in
Vermont, it seems superhuous for legisla
tive committees to go iunketing through
the several Institutions. To be sure, it is
custom, and custom long established,
which has seemed TO give the present
legislature the authority for going ahead
and ordering these junkets which take
considerable percentage of the legislative
membership the better part Of work
week; but, at the same time, custom was
changed with the creation of the state
board Of control and the director of state
Institutions, and the necessity for these
legislative junkets has been largely, If
not completely, removed. The time spent
by these iunketing committees could
much more proftably be spent in atten.
tion to the legislative duties lying imme-
diately ahead; and the work of the leg
islature might be expedited considerably
by the presence of these men in their
places in the Senate and the House, Why
not let the board OF control do this work?

CURRENT COMMENT
The British Strikes.

The rioting in Glasgow and the even
more alarming spectacle in Belfast, where
a sort Of workmen's soviet is in control
and preserving order" with the co-opera-
ton of the legal authorities, are not to
be lightly explained by the presence OF
foreign agitators. Both are cities of ma
tive Observation-Disclosures about as much
Scotch as Irish--and the labor unrest is
native except so far as the radicalism
which moves it has its counterpart in
other countries. The explanation of Sir
Robert Horne, minister of labor, is illu-
minating. He points out that in several
districts the most extreme sections OF la
Dor dominated by radical young men,
have thrown over the bargains made by
the older labor leaders with their employ.
ere In the powerful trades of shipbuild-
ing and engineering an agreement for a
II hour week-less than the eight hour
day--had been reached; yet in Glasgow
the men breaking faith, have struck for
a 44-hour week and in Belfast los a 40
hour week. In Belfast deliberate rioting
in order to provoke government interyen-
ton seems to have had for its direct oh,
iect the discrediting OF the responsible la
Dor leaders.
The conduct OF these disturbers is evi.
IDENTIFY directed not toward the redress Of
specific wrongs but toward the upset of
the whole system by direct action;
that is, it is revolutionary syndicalism,
or II. W. W.-ism." But thus destruc-
tive philosophy has repeatedly proved its
weakness as the inspirer of sustained
effort, and it appears altogether probable
that the rank and file, and real leader.

The degree of publicity now given to
the names of ships returning with Amer
Jean troops, as well as to the names of
the units being transported, stands out
lin marked contrast to the strict silence
(which was maintained by the United
States and the allied governments when
those same ships and those same soldiers
were eastward bound. The contrast serves
TO aecentuate the deprivation as to news
(which the American people willingly suf-
lfered in order to safeguard the lives of

areas. 1t was one of our minor sacrifices
