INVADER GOULD NOT
LAND TROOPS FAST
ON u. S. SOIL MARCH
6Rv AssocIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 17.-General
Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the
army, announced today that expert
ence in troop transport during the
war had shown that estimates made
by the war department in 1915, as to
the possibility of a foreign nation
landing troops in the United States,
were entirely too high.
These estimates, General March
said, included 387, ,oo0 men in sixteen
days by German; 100000 by France in
the same time; 10000 by Austria and
238, 900 by Japan. These were based
on calculation of transport making
a round trip every 80 days, whereas
experience proved that 35 days was
required for even the very fastest of
the transports, and 10 days for cargo
ships.

PEACE TERMS ON ECONOMIC BASIS
FOR FIRST TIME IN WAR HISTORY

in the presidents insistence on the
League of Nations as basis of peace
The British was comprehended in a
dominating desire to preserve and ex-
pand Anglo-American friendship, and
the only less controlling necessity Of
preserving intimate association with
France as guarantee against possible
German aggression in the future. The
French point of view was one in which
security and reparation were prevail
ing motives. Looking to the future,
France was incapable of relying upon
any paper arrangement, any still un-
tried experiment in international as
sociation, to protect her from a new
invasion, and she was bankrupt and
ruined unless Germany were to be
compelled to pay for reconstruction
in her ten devastated departments.
Treaty is Compromise.
The conflict of these three points of
view was immediate, inevitable, and

NO LIGHT ON REPORT
sPEEpY RATIFICATION

WASHINGTON, May 17-Lacking
the complete text of the treaty, State
Department officials were unable to-
day to throw any light on the report
from Paris that the treaty may go into
force upon ratification by Germany
and three of the principal associated
powers.
The official abstract of the treaty
as cab1ed to the department and made
public May z, said. that "the treaty
is to become effective in all respects
for each power on the date of the de-
position of the ratification"
1t would occasion no surprise, how
ever, if some qualification of this Ian
guage were disclosed by the full text.
1t is recalled that recent cable dis
patches from Rome have indicated the
Italian governments belief that
France, England and America had ar
ranged to make the treaty operative
upon its ratification by those powers
and Germany.

Breeders Of Tomorrow

The future of livestock lies before
us and not behind. Our breeders OF

touches on the foundation. None of
our popular breeds go back when we
count them by generations of men who
have been breeding them.
The breeders of the future will find
the trail blazed by the breeders of to-
day. The Improvement of our live
stock has come about by species OF
evolution. First we hsd men who DEM
onstrated their faith by their works
and produced our breed foundations
Then we have had their successors
who carried on their work and enlarg-
ed upon it. The generation now pass
ing has carried as the bulk Of It's
burden the educational campaign con-
cerning the advantages to be derived
from improving flocks and herds by
the introduction of better blood. 1t
would appear one Of the easiest things
in the world to convince men that 1t
