of even more Importance. For in
things quite as necessary and some
Of even fore Importance. For in
stance. there is the question of officers.
They know now that the best instruc-
tors cannot turn out good officers for
an army in three months under the
most favorable circumstances. and
that without them the best of enlist
ed men viii not make good army.
They know now that without ord
nance-which includes military rifles,
pistols, machine guns. trench NOR
tars, tanks, tractors, field guns (heavy
and light, the ammunition and all
else that goes with them--no amount
of manpower even under the best of
officers will make an efficient army.
When Maj. Gen. C. c. Williams, chief
of the bureau of ordnance. was before
the Senate committee he put 1t in this
way: The military power of a nation
depends upon its manpower and it's
industrial power-men and munitions.
no longer duel of professional
armies, but a struggle between ma
lions which demands sacrifices of and
assigns a role to practically every in
dividual in the nation The ex-
perience of France. England and the
UnlteQ states nave brought nome
with emphasis the fact that six
months afford hardly sufficient time
to commence the production of even
the simplest munitions Of war. and a
much longer period will not see tanks,
tractors and artillery in quantity pro-
duction.
All military men and statesmen of
vision are fearful that in the event
another great war there will be no
bulwark between the enemy and
contact for eighteen months of prep
aration. Hence, in addition to pre-.
pairing manpower the government
must devise some means of converting
national resources into military mate
rial. if it would make a reasonable
and balanced organization to be used
as a basis for military forces on which
it must rely under the conditions of
modern warfare. Certain of the mate
rial-such as wearing apparel re-
uuired for the Army-need not be pre-
pared under the direction of Army
officers, but when it comes to de-
signing and procuring ordnance. high
ly trained specialists not to be found
in the commercial walks of life are
1t is the almost unanimous opinion
of military men that perhaps no one
of the military establish
ment should be kept SO near to war
strength as the ordnance department.

BULLFIGHTER IS GOVERNOR.
King Alfonzo Bestows High Office
Upon SPANS Famous Toreador.

GUADALAJARA, Spain, August IS
Correspondence of the Associated
Press).-"From the bull ring to the
political arena would make fitting
title to the history of the life of Luis
Mazzantini, former toreador. who has
just been appointed governor of this
province by King Alfonso XIII.
When MaZZantni retired from the
ring in 1903 he was one of the most
famous toreadors in Spain. 1t was
during his university days that he
first faced the bull in the arena. He
acquitted himself very creditably. and
the plaudits which he received from
the multitude completely turned his
head away from dusty law books
and stuffy courtrooms.
His earnings soon eclipsed that of
the reigning toreadors of the day, as
he received 5000 to 1000 pesetas for
each performance. In 1897 he ac-
counted for les bulls for an income
of 100000 pesetas.

none IL needed more than they in the
first stages Of war preparation.
Ordnance officers are presenting OBJ
5ections to those provisions OF tho
War Department bill for the reor-
ganization of the Army which would
reduce the ordnance officers to an in
considerable number and replace them
with officers detailed from other
branches of the service. This is touch
ing an old sore spot-an old point OF
friction; but with the proposed per-
faanent reorganization OF army ad-
ministration on the basis of a general
staff built on modern lines and with
power to supervise the producing bu-
reaus and operating divisions, tins
difference should disappear. Line Off
GERS say that the weapons should be
chosen by the men who have to use
them; and. therefore. line officers
should be assigned to high positions
in the ordnance department. Ordnance
officers hold that line officers know
but little of the technical side of
producing ordnance - certainly not
enough to qualify them as experts;
and since only the best of experts
should be trusted with the production
OF ordnance they need no line officers
to tell them how to run factories.
Under the new arrangement it
would seem as if the proper section
of the general staff should decide the
types of ordnance for the Army; that
ordnance officers above the lower
grades should be commissioned in tho
ordnance. and that all should be de-
tailed periodically for duty with the
line troops, where they would learn
the needs of the troops and would
perceive whatever mistakes, IL any,
they might have made in their de-
signs
Summed up. the conclusion seems
to be that in the t,o
should be provision for an ample
number of ordnance officers perma-
nent in their corps; but doing duty
at stated times with the several
branches of the service
