Small Regular Army in Time of Peace

IN CONFORMITY with President
L Harding's Interpretation of the
army reorganization act of June 4,
Secretary of War Weeks has instruct
ed General Pershlng, chief of staff. TO
employ all the available resources of
the military establishment to organ
ize, train, and otherwise develop the
National Guard and reserve corps in
to the effective forces.
Under the terms of this order no
skeleton regiments will be maintained
in the regular army, but the 10000
men allowed by congress will be con-
ceutrated in fully manned, effective
units, while surplus units will be
placed "out of commission" and the
.urplus officers assigned to the organ
lation and training of the National
l.uard and reserve corps.
IAN examination of the statute"
says the Weeks order, "shOws that the
new law is based on the idea that in
the future, as in the past, great wars
are to be fought, in the main, by
armies composed of citizen soldiers.
We still have the conception of
small regular army in time of peace.
But whereas in the past the nee
essary citizen forces have been com

emergency, the new law provides that
they shall be allocated by territory,
that their officers and men shall be
assigned to local units, and that as
funds become available provision shall
be made for the training of these Off
GERS and men.
"As the law provides for a military
expansion by reinforcement of the
regular army from the organized citi-
zen forces, the President directs that
these forces shall be developed to the
fullest extent and that the maximum
practicable number of carefully select

concede that the battleshlp, as the

some Italian engineers are put in op'

the fiat roofs of most of the build

and four stories.
The engineers have placed their
ideas before Henry Colt MacClean,
United States commercial attache to
the American embassy. They have
asked that American capital become
interested in the project. The materi-

friesand demonstrated the hard, cold
fact that the battleship can be quickly
sunk with heavy bombs dropped from
the air, and that the dreadnaught can
be disposed of by dropping bombs into
the water, without even hitting the
ship.
The airplane carrier, gigantic
naval vessel, larger and speedier than
any warship afloat, fast as the de-
stroyer, and carrying a cargo of many
planes-pursuit, reconnaissance, and
bombing-is regarded as the best way
to meet this new aircraft bombing
menace to the battleship.
Those in charge of naval aviation
plans think the navy should be pro-
vided with eight hirplane carriers,
each to carry so planes ready for in
slant action, and 80 in knockdown con-
dltion. ready to be assembled at once
Each carrier would cost s2S.600,000.

to and fro with white decks and the

carrying every one from fuzzy-whisk-

bridge and the only crossing to be had
was by way of the dock-apron and the

and often coming aboard oblivious OF
passengers and staring deckhands-
forgetting to pay their fare as they
passed the little counter at the dock.
"Lor yes, there's been plenty OF

You can tell 'em every time. They

they get off and get 1t over with as

back they are more loving than ever
