Lessons of War
in New Defense

Guard and the organized reserves into
the army of the United States in
peace times Is defined by Colonel Pal
mer as follows:
1t Is primarily the object of. our
new law to perpetuate the frame ework
OF the organization developed in the
World war, so that its tremendous cost
can be funded as a permanent invest
nent for all time"
Had such system as is now we'll
advanced toward establishment been
erected after the Civil war, the Off
Ger adds, ''in 1898 more divisions than
were needed for the war with Spain
could have begun their expansion
within "a hours after the declaration
of hostilities."
Centralized Process DemoraIizina.
Mobilization in 1917" Colonel Pal
mer continues, would have proceed
ed as a decentralization process and
not as a great centralized process,
upsetting the economic life of the ma
tion. 1t would not have been necessary
to spend millions for great concen-
trated training camps or to overbur-
den the railroads with unclassified
personnel and material in order to
organize and train and equip and pro-
vide officers all at the same time
Such a national organization must
have saved months In time and mil
lions In money"
Colonel Palmer points out that
Stonewall Jackson alone of leaders
on either side Of the Civil war en-
tered the contest with knowledge Of
what staff work meant. He had stud
led Napoleon's troop orders, and In
the first battle of the war, Colonel
Palmer says, showed that even raw
troops can stand like a stone wall IL
the prevalent rawness does not extend
to the craftsmanship of the COM
mander."
To meet such situation. the new
military policy imposes on the regular
army the duty of training In peace
times the men on whom must of ne
cessity fall the burden of command
and direction Of great forces In war.
From this arises the present distribu-
ton of the regulars into divisional
areas which underlay the corps and
army area structure. 1t Is not ex-
pected, officers say. that more than a
division ever will be brought together

Supposed Suicide
Gets Up and Runs

Baltirnore.-Several hundred
persons gathered on President
street to await the arrival of the
police to move the body of a re-
ported suicide lying under a rail-
road car. They were startled
when the man got up and ran.
William n. Houck, conductor Of
a Baltimore & Ohio railroad
train, grabbed the man and held
him for the police.
The suicide" gave his name
as Angelo Scapano. thirty-two,
and an address ON President
street. He was found lying be-
tween two freight cars, with his
head across one of the rails. A
pistol with two discharged
chambers was nearby.
A watchman at a nearby plant
fired several shots to attract the
police. Scapano told Lieutenant
Mooney he had crawled under
the car to sleep and knew moth
ing of the pistol or pistol shots.

Plan Provides for an Efficient

Time.
BARS CENTRALIZED CAMPS
Foundation Work on Great National
Scheme of Mobilization Already
Done-ReguIar Army to Train
Men for War.

Washington-Two lessons Of the
World war, learned at heavy cost, are
sharply emphasized in a War de-
partment bulletin, giving the first Of
fetal picture of the new national de-
Tense structure projected in the re-
organized army of the United States.
One lesson comes direct from the
battlefields of France 1t is that eff
cient staff work Is vital to modern MIL
itary operations, and with it goes the
corollary that staff functions cannot
be learned over night.
The other comes from the wartime
din and confusion of the centralized
training camps at home. 1t is that eff
cient mobilization of the nations fight
ing strength can be carried out only
as. decentralized process through
agencies set up in times of peace.
Realization that these lessons must
be worked into the new military pol
Icy if perilous delay and costly con-
fusion which preceded past mobiliza-
tions were to be avoided has marked
the effort of the War department.
The bulletin shows that 1t has attempt
ed to write regulations under the re-
vised national defense act that would
furnish clean-cut scheme for war
mobilization without violating nation
al traditions against militarism or Gre
ating machinery that would impose
heavy burdens in peace times upon
the taxpayers.
To Profit by Experience.
The project undertaken probably is
the most far-reaching military effort
the nation has ever attempted in peace
times.
The foundation work has been done.
All over the country decentralized ma
chinery is being set up capable, its
designers believe, Of getting the ma
tion on a war footing with little de-
lay and confusion. Yet II is felt that

Colonel Palmer points out that at
the conclusion of previous wars, the
United States scrapped all it had
learned in battle and demobilized with
cut any attempt to carry those costly
lessons on TO younger generations for
their protection and aid. in time of
war. Veterans of the Civil war,
schooled in soldier craft, skilled In
staff work and the handling of mighty
forces with minimum confusion In

Highway Work Going Good.

Madison, despite the nandlCaps
threatened at the beginning Of the
year, Highway Construction work
in Wisconsin is progressing more
satisfactory than in any previous
year the engineers of the State
Highway Commission report. An
usually good start has been made
in the highway construction for
1921. Work in general is several
weeks ahead of the usual situation
at this time of the year. Not only
is there a larger quantity OF work
underway, but each individual job
on the average is further advanced
than the average job at this time
of the year. At the present time,
there are approximately $50 crews
building gravel roads in the state,
and this number is being augment
ed every day. There are also, APP
proximately, sixty PAYERS building
concrete roads in the state, which
means we are building over three
miles of paved highway per day.
This rate is not abnormal because
of the fact that we have approx
mately three hundred and ten 1910
miles of pavement to build during
the season, as this amount is al
ready under contract. One reason
for the extra good start is the
rather keen competitor there has
been in bidding this year. This is
due partly to the fact that some of
the neighboring states are not in
full swing in their highway work,
and partly to the fact that con-
siderable lumber of new contract
ing firms have started, owing to
the increased highway work in
general. Prices have been lowered
from week to week and the work
let now is done at considerably
lower prices than that let earlier in
the year. However, the State
Highway Commission took precau
tion in the early contracts, and is
still doing so, and incorporating
clauses wherein reductions in
materials, such as sand, gravel and
cement, and reductions in freight
rates, shall rebound to the credit
of the county or state as the case
may be. In other words, all bids
received based on certain stated
prices for material, and on the
existing freight rates at the time
of the letting.

Hurley 3, Quality Shop 2.

In a well-played and closely con-
tested game Hurley defeated the
Quality Shop nine at Ironwood
Sunday to 2. 1t was a clean-cut
game and III contrast to some of
the games played so far this season
errors were not so numerous. Leo
Hunt at third for Hurley had an
off day and had chalked up against
him the three bungles made by
Hurley.
Hurley scored one in the first and
one each in the six and seventh
innings. all three runs being earn
ed. Ironwood's two runs in the
sixth and seventh were the result
of errors. Clifford prevented Iron
wood from tieing the score and
probably winning the game in the
final frame when he ran back and
speared one up against the fence.
There were two down and man
on first when Clifford pulled the
nifty one.
Schwab on the mound for Hur-
ley pitched good ball, getting II
strike outs and being touched up
for but six safe ones. Wennersten
for Irouwood was hit hard and
Hurley should have bad a larger
score but poor base running spoil
ed many chances to score. Four
Hurleyites got two baggers twice,
and with two bingles the total
number of hits mounted to ten.
All but three Hurleyites connected
safely.

Cost of Living Has Declined.

The cost of living is now about
the same as it was at the beginning
of 1919, and average weekly earn
ings are now practically on a level
with the first quarter of 1919, ac-
cording TO estimates made by the
National Industrial Conference
board.
The average weekly earnings for
all industries at the end of last
week were $3.50 which is u
cents less than the previous month,
and SOIL less han the peak which
was reached iii august, 1920.
Average weekly earnings are OBJ
tanned for each industry dividing
the total amount OF the payroll By
the total number of employees on
the payroll. The cost of living on
May lst was IL per cent less than
OH April 1st. This represents a
decline of 10 per cent since the
peak was reached on July LIST. 1920.
