Keen disappointment and re-

issued today by John T. Taylor. vice
chairman of the national Legislative

The 100000 former service men
in the country made representation
through the Legion for the appoint

Without In the least disparaging
the ability and patriotism Of the
committee" Mr.. Taylor said. the
American Legion cannot disguise
its keen disappointment and regret
that the Speaker OF the House has
not seen At to include a former
service man on the committee"
Mr.. Taylor pointed out that the
investigation OF the escape of Berg

who fought in the war. He added.
however. that failure to appoint a

PERSHING TO HEAD
NEW ARMY PLANS
FOR PREPAREDNESS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
tonized general headquarters es-
tablished in the War Department,
said Secretary Weeks. Its pur-
pose will be given out later. but
Gen. Pershing will be the head OF
the activity. Details of the plan
are difficuIt to arrange owing to the
vordin gof the laws, but the Chief
Of Stan will continue to direct the
administration of the army in time
OF peace.
Ready for Instant war.
IN this way the army is to be
made ready in time of peace to act
instantly and effectively in time of
war. Before the late war Marshal
Joffre had been selected to COM
mand Nthe armies of France and had
prepared skeIetonized headquarters
that would be available for instant
action in case Of war and II so
functioned when war was declared.
We can do no better than follow
that successful example"
There have been several confer
ences on the matter. participates
in by the President. Mr.. Weeks and
Gen. PershinG. These discussions
are said to have taken a wide range
and to have included consideration
Of international relations and gen.
eral policies of national defense.
The President is reported to have
expressed himself strongly In favor
of adequate preparedness for war.
To Handle Preparedness.
One Of the most tragic lessons of
the great war. in the opinion of the
President, was the lack Of prepared
ness by the United States. which
cost thousands of lives and billions
of dollars needlessly spent. He be-
lieves that we have learned nothing
II We have not prohted by that les
son and determined to be prepared
IL war comes upon US again.
The President wants Gen. Per-
sbing to take charge Of the whole
problem Of preparedness, including
war plans. organization of the re-
serves, utilization OF the National
Guard. voluntary military training
and the mobilization of industries.
At the instance of the President.
Secretary Weeks has asked an in
creased appropriation for military
training. The last Congress con-
templated the training of 10000
men a year. The President hopes II
soon, will be possible to train 1o0.-
600 a year
These steps in the direction of
preparing the army for war con-
stitute only one aspect Of the pre-
paredness policy being evolved by
the Harding administration. The
President has brought the matter
up en- several occasions for general
Cabinet discussion, and he has gone
deeply Into the question Of naval
preparedness in conferences with
Secretary DENLY and members of
the General. Board of the Navy.
To Protect Canal.
II Is as a result of these discus
sions that the President has taken
a stand in favor OF the completion
Of the navy building program with
out delay, and of the provision of
adequate naval bases in the Pacific.
This question will come before Con-
sress chortly when the naval ap-
preparation bill is. considered. Op-
POSITION TO this navy program has
been encountered in the House.
Increased protection for the Pan
anna Canal is another feature of the
Harding national, defense program.
The Secretary of War is going to
visit the Canal Zone to study the
defense problem and to effect econ
omies in the canal administration.

HuMANENEss A LOST ART

Humanity lost much during the
great war. but that which should
most deeply wound its pride was
the loss of the belief in ITS own
humaneness. Once upon a time
and that time was not long prior
to 1914, men believed that real
progress was being made toward
abolition of war. They fondly
fiattered themselves that they
were not as other men had been
in previous ages. They were
more human, they thought.
They devised the Hague con-
ference, which with full and free
representation of the nations,
discussed pleasingly and with
some show of conviction rules for
the mitigation of the cruelty OF
war. To be sure, war had never
been cruel, that is, comparatively.
up to that time. War had pro-
proceeded by certain rules OF
honor and chivalry. There were
prejudices against the use OF
chain-shot and agreements TO
grind to, an edge not more than a
few inches OF the tips OF sabres.
And the Hague conference went
at it Systematically TO codify all
the rules safeguarding humane
principles of warfare. 1t made
agreements about dropping ex-
plosives from balloons and arr
ships; about ruthless destruction
of property; about the rights OF
non-comhatants about ,caliber OF
gunsgand construction OF missiles.
There,-existed a peculiar horror
against the 1ise of poisonous or
asphSxiatinge gases. In fact this
latter method of warfare was re-
yarded as too barbarous to be
contemplated by our refined civi-
lization. To be sure. the Chinese
in ancient times had employed 1t.
They .had dropped over the battle
ments of their walls kettles hlled
withdrawing tar and sulphur, a
comparatively harmless form of
chemical warfare but regarded by
the highly civilized modern reader
of fiction with peculiar horror.
These Chinese of olden times had
no claim to be. called civilized.
Then came the war. Who cared
for Hague agreements? What
method previously held in abhor-
renee was nor seized upon if IT
promised anything of effective
ness? What refinement of cruelty
ever known in the past was not,
by .the exercise of modern skill
and genius, raised to a degree of
cruelty never dreamed of before !!
And the result is that in the dis
russions of preparedness there is
