in peace times, but through practice in
handling divisional unit Of 10000 or
so men, training can be impaired, it
is felt, to fit future leaders to handle
corps of armies in battle.
From it's role as staff college, also,
comes the demand of the army for a
larger proportion of officers than the
actual enlisted strength of any prob
able regular force would require.
These extra officers would play little
part in the actual peace time en-
ployment of the army as such or
even in small emergency that required
only the regulars to meet the nations
leeds. They would be under training
in staff functions, and in turn be
passing on their knowledge to the Ma
tional Guardsmen and reserve officers
and the whole scheme of keeping the
country up to date in a military sense
without keeping any substantial force
under arms at any time rests on this
provision, 1t is asserted.

Supposed Suicide
Gets Up and Runs

Baltimore.-Several hundred
persons gathered on President
street to await the arrival of the
police to move the body Of re-
ported suicide lying under a rail-
road car. They were. startled
when the man got up and ran.
William N. Houck, conductor Of
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 Waterman 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.

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 framework
of the organization developed in the
World war, so that It's tremendous cost
can be funded as permanent invest
ment for all time"
Had such a system as is now well
advanced toward establishment been
erected after the Civil war, the off,
Ger adds, "tn 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 Demorallzlng.
Mobilization in 1917" Colonel Pal
lner continues, would have proceed
ed as decentralization process and
not as great centralized process,
upsetting the economic life of the ma
ton. 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 national organization must
have saved months in time and mill
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 stone wall if
the prevalent rawness does not extend
to the craftsmanship of the COM
mander:"
To meet such a 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

AGREE TO CUT
Secretary Hughes Plan Is Ao-
cepted by the Worlds Big
Powers.
CHAIRMAN TELLS OF PLANS
Conference suspends, Subject to Call
OF Chair, to Let Experts Work
Out Details of the Several
SUGGESTIONS.

Washington, Nov. 17.-After a ses-
Sion of less than two hours the arma-
ment conference adjourned, subject to
the call of the chair, to give naval
experts of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan opportunity to work
out Joint plan for the reduction Of
the three biggest navies in the world.
A. ]. Balfour disclosed the British
desire to curb development of the SUBJ
marines and to forbid cruiser under
seas boats, but Admiral Kato gave no
hint of Japan's desires, although mem
bers Of his delegation have said they
will oppose United States naval bases
in the Pacific.
Premier BRAND announced that
France would have some proposals to
make when the subject Of land arma-
ments came up and Secretary Hughes
assured the French premier he would
have ample opportunity to do so.
Secretary Hughes, in submitting the
matter of naval reductions to commit
tees, said:
There are subjects being suggested
here which will appropriately be ex-
am1ned by naval experts, and it is the
desire of the American government
that what has been proposed by that
government, with the suggestions that
have been made by Mr.. Balfour, by
Admiral Kato and any other sugges-
tions by way of modification or emen-
dation or criticism that may be proper,
shall all be thoroughly considered, to
the end that after the most mature
and careful elaboration we may ac-
complish the great purposes which
this conference In this matter has been
assembled to achieve.
do go too far in saying that we
may commit this matter to technical
examination with the assurance, which
am very certain will be gratifying to
the hearts Of our peoples, that there
will come out Of this conference an ap-
prOpriate agreement for satisfactory,
important, essential reduction of naval
armament, to the end that offensive
naval warfare will be no more and this
great advance will be made to the ac-
cOmplishment of an enduring peace?
May add that I have no doubt
that express the wish Of the confeN
ence that at an opportune time M. Bril-
and will enjoy the opportunity of pre-
senting to the conference most fully
the views of France with regard to the
subject of land armament, which we
must discuss?"
Thus the second step in the direc-
ton of scrapping half the worlds
great navies and stopping all building
of battleships for at least ten years
was completed.
Spokesman of the British empire,
Japan, France and Italy formally noti-
fed the United States that the dras-
tic American program is fundamental
~ acceptable to them, and that they
are willing to leave the details to ex-
perts.
One after another the Spokesman Of
Europe and Of Asia arose in their
seats about the great table In Cont
mental hall and publicly proclaimed
willingness to cooperate to the fullest.

Plan Provides for an Efficient
Staff Trained in Peace
Time.
BARS CENTRALIZED CAMPS
Foundation Work on Great National
Scheme Of Mobilization Already
Done-Regular Army to Train
Men for War.

Washington.-Two lessons OF the
sharply emphasized in 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
Gent 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
fusion which preceded past mobiliza-
lions 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 milltarism 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
ton on war footing with little de-
lay and confusion Yet it is felt that
the nation at large and even the most
important links in the new defense
chain, the regular army, the National
Guard and the Officers Reserve corps
do not appreciate fully what is being
done.
Col. John McA. Palmer, the officer
assigned to aid congress in framing
the legislation making 1t all possible,
and who has devoted himself to q
study of the subject, was called upon
to furnish the document, and his work
is to go to all parts of the new army
as a means of preventing misunder-
standing.
Colonel Palmer points out that al
the conclusion of previous wars, the
United States strapped all it had
learned in battle and demobllized with.
out 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
sehooled in soldier craft, skilled IL
staff work and the handling of mighty
forces with minimum confusion IL
movement and minimum losses In
battle, went back to civil life, he says
and lost all touch with military mat
tiers. When the war with Spain came
their knowledge was lost to the mer
of 1898. 1t was necessary to build
again from the ground up and 1917
saw this waste repeated, the bulletin
asserts.

welding the regulars, the Natona

United States retains a certain measure
of control"
The majority of the Christian Filipi-
nos are represented as favorng indie
pendence under protection OF tine
United States, while q smaller number
of them desire immediate and complete
independence. The Moros are a unit
against independence, and ask that the
portion of the islands belonging to t1a-l
be retained as American territory in the
event independence ever is granted. the
report says, while the pagans and non
Christians, constituting about 10 per
cent. of the population, are for con-
tinued American control and the
Americans in the islands are a prac-
tical unit in opposition TO independence.
Economic conditions are favorably
commented upon and evidence is sub
mtted by the Wood Forbes mission in
dicating progressive development. Fig
ures show the gross business of the
islands to have increased from s2OO,-
100000 In 1907 to 1863, 100000 in 1920,
while the total resources of commercial
present estimates of $2l5, ,000 coo. Money
orders sold increased from $S,0Oo,OoO In
1913 to SIT ,000. 900 in 1920; postage receipts
from 100000 in 1913 to s7S0.000 in 1920,
and the gross earnings of the Philip
pine railway increased in the same
period from $SS0,000 to S750,000. The
Manila railroads gross earnings in
creased from So, 100000 in 1914 to $5,90o.0Oe
in 1920.
"In view of good earnings, moderate
expenses, inherent wealth, small pub
lie debt and backed by the credit of the
United States" the report says, "the
problem of rehabilitating the credit of
the Philippine Islands should be an
easy one"
The report recites the story of the
Philippine National Bank "as one of
the most unfortunate and darkest pages
in Philippine history" Losses sus-
tanned by the banks are estimated at
S22. 500 900 and are said to have been
caused by mismanagement on the part
of some of those who have been at it's
head and in charge of branch offices.
Criminal charges have been preferred
against the managers of each of the
four branches in which examinations
have been completed, the report cites,
adding that they were in each instance
in charge of unframed Filipinos.
The mission reports that inspectors
of election" required under the laws to
prepare ballots for illiterate voters,
supply a fruitful source Sf frauds"
The election machinery is practically in
the hands of the dominant party and
inspectors of elections are too often
their tools.

Atoms Enslaved.

Out in Chicago, which is now the
centre of most scientific culture, 4
model of molecule is on exhibition.
1t is 250,000,00O times the size of the
subject, according to the sculptor
Professor JARED X. MORSE. Inside the
molecule, Of course, are atoms.
Professor MORSE says there is no
doubt now that molecules and their
atoms are busy little things, on the
move all the time And they proceed
just like the solar system, one set re
volving around some boss atom just
as the earth and other planets re.
volve around the sun.
This sort of thing is all wrong, as
H. G. WELLS knows. Why should one
atom be honored above his fellows
by having them as satellites? Don't
molecules and atoms know that in
the ideal state nothing revolves about
anything except itself? So long as
any atom pretends to be the centre o.
anything Civilization will keep on
tottering to it's fall, just as it has tot
tered since ADAMS day.
1t is an outrage that there should
be system among atoms when the
Third Internationale has pointed the
way to perfection through confusion.
Let molecules and atoms rise and
strike down their oppressors. Why
should they spin on and on?

Toll of the Deer Hunters.

An occasional report that a man
has been killed in mistake for a deer
by some hunter who failed to realize
that the modern rifle is not a toy
makes little impression on the pub
lie. Everybody, however, will be
shocked by the news that during the
current hunting season 137 men have
been killed and hundreds Of others
wounded in twelve States, with Maine,
one of the greatest of the hunting
regions, yet to be heard from.
Before the introduction Of the high
power rifle the favorite weapon of the
deer hunter was the shotgun with
it's load of buckshot. This had only
a short range and while there were
casualties from its use they we're
few in number by comparison.

the island will be made next April,
when the last of the defensive works
upon which Germany expended such
titanic labors will have been entirely

Helgoland thus passes back to the
summer resort pleasure seekers and
the bathers. About $4,000 of them
came annually in the old days and
there will be more perhaps in the
future, for the shelving beach of
white sand and the refreshing wa.
ters of the Diinen Inlet have no SUI
periors in northern Europe. Neither
the Allied Council nor the League of
Nations is likely to grant the prayer
of the Helgolanders to be relieved of
Prussian rule and restored to their
ancient independence. But they may
be assured that the name of their
island will not be forgotten. Admiral
Earl BEATTY saw to that one hazy
August day seven years ago when he
fought the first naval battle of the
world war in the waters off the
