THE VALUE OF
MILITARY TRAINING

/ @hAAh All AANfhA~NaAfN -
From the New York Tribune.
The satisfaction which has been
expressed in the appointment Of
General Goethals as Fuel Admins
traitor and the confidence felt in his
integrity and efficiency In that ca
pacity are more than a personal tri-
butte. They are also a tribute to the
education, draining and discipline
which General Goethals has had as
an officer OF the United States Army.
A succession of civil engineers
had charge of the Panama Canal
before General Goethals was as
signed to the job. Not one OF them
succeeded. and without any refiec-
ton upon their character or ability
II may be said that there was little
promise that any OF them would
have succeeded II kept at the head
of the work. It was only when Cen
eral Goethals was sent thither that
completion of,the great task seemed
assured. That was not because Of
his superior integrity. technical
skill or devotion TO the work, but
because he brought to It in him
self. and forthwith infused into It
and imposed upon 1t, from top to
bottom. the specific discipline OF mil
/ itary life.
It ought to occur to the minds OF
even the most confirmed pacifists
that a system OF education, training
and discipline which produces such
results cannot be altogether evil.
even though II be stigmatised as
"militarism."

Italy's offer TO mediate between
France and Germany on the repa-
rations question and the French ul-
timatum TO the Ruhr mine directors
are the outstanding features OF the
news. The italian offer contem-
plates economic control OF the Ruhr
and a commercial alliance with
Germany, and 1t is stated that Italy
is anxious that such an alliance, II
made, should not be anti-British in
character. In the meantime Gen.
Degoutte has ordered the mine di-
rectors TO resume coal deliveries by
this morning. failing which further
penalties will be applied. From
French authorities comes word that
II the Germans should fail to CO.
operate in delivering coal and other
supplies. the French government
will apply the same methods that
were employed by the Germans in
Belgium and northern France. Pre-
sumably this will include fines i'm
posed upon communities, the hold
ing OF hostages and the requisition
Of private property upon the tender
of receipts. OF course such meas
ures pertain to war and not 10
peace.
The world would welcome the
successful mediation of Italy in this
emergency. Unfortunately. how
ever, the prospects Of success IN
that direction are not bright. Pre-
mier Mussolini is supposed to be
ambitiously endeavoring to become
an umpire in European affairs. with
corresponding enhancement of the
prestige OF himself and his country
In some respects he occupies an
position as a media

relations between France and Ger
many will be such as TO dispose
their governments to reach an
agreement. The French govern

take physical possession of certain
portions OF Germany, and the Ger

crNo,s PoIIcY on DISASTER.

From the New York Tribune.
Chancellor Cuno's policy leaves
Germany without any case on which
TO appeal for outside sympathy. 1t
also leaves the Reich economically
disarmed and helpless. Cuno has
nut Germany in wrong at every
point. BY suspending repsration
deliveries in kind he has forced the
Reparation Commission to declare
the Germans once more in 'voiun-
tary default" BY ostentatiously
breaking the treaty he gives the
French. Belgians and Italians
right TO take more drastic reprisals.
The three-power occupation now
covers the whole Ruhr region and
extends beyond the eastern limit or
the neutral zone fixed by the armi-
tice.
The British government refrained
from sanctioning economic super
vision in the Ruhr because It thought
such supervision would be unproduc-
tive. It was willing to let the other
Reparation Commission powers try
out their plan. The Bonar Law
theory was that after a fair trial
they would recognize its futility and
agree TO a moratorium and TO
reparation revision.
But the Germans seem unwilling
10 let Il have a fair trial. They
are seeking to prolong the expert
ment indefinitely. The government
has ordered the coal magnates in the
prbr not 70 deliver coal TO the
Economic Commission even for
cash. This move win shut down
the mines unless the commission
reaulsitions them. And II requHi-
ton has to be made under martial
law delivery of Ruhr coal TO the
rest OF Germany will be practically
suspended.
II has been discovered in Essen
that the Reich stopped several
months ago collecting the coal tax
on shipments TO other parts of Ger
many. thus further defrauding Its
creditors and substituting German
industry. In Berlin there is talk of
buving foreign coal to replace the
Ruhr deficit But this would only
show again that foreign coal could
have been bought in larger quahutleS
IN 1922 and that the shortage in
treaty deliveries could have been
avoided.
The Germany OF 1923 is trying to
initiate the Germany of 1914. But
only the arrogance OF 1914 remains.
The power is gone. The government
has bluffed itself into a position In
which it sees control of the Ruhr
taken out OF its hands. 1t could
have made relatively favorable
terms with the, Allied governments
and the Reparation Commission If
Il had been willing to show a little
consciousness of defeat. a little
humility and a little good faith.
Much greater sacrifices will be re-
quired II Germany IS to get the
Ruhr bssk.

OUTLAW COAL STRIKES,

4
From the New York Herald.
The small strikes that have oc-
Cured IN the hard coal region since
the big strike of last summer was
settled show how little regard the
Pennsylvania miners have for the
lives and comfort of tho people who
depend upon them FOR winter
warmth. They show. further, that
while the main organization of the
union miners Is a great power when
It wants TO bring on a strike II be-
comes sing1Ilarly helpless when 1t
wants, or pretends 10 want, to stop
strike.
Since September II, when the hard
coal mines reopened after six months
of idleness, $4,000 of the 100000 an
thracite miners have been out, on
one pretext or another. at various
times. A thousand men quit work
for four days because the coal COM
pany refused to discharge a miner
who was digging more coal than the
union thought he should. Eighteen
hundred workers struck because the
carpenters employed on construction
work refused to join the miners
union as well as their own trade
organization. Nine hundred men
struck because four of their COM
rades were suspended for loading
dirty coal. In other mines there
were strikes involving nothing more
important than union discipline.
All Of these strikes were Of the
so-called outlaw variety. That is-
they were not sanctioned by the cen
trail authority Of the union. 1t means
little TO the public whether these
strikes were authorized or not. All
that the householder knows is that
he IS cold, that his bin is empty and
that thousands of tons of coal which
might have been sent from the mines
are still in the earth because miners
hold their petty squabbles higher
than the interests of the nation. -
The attempt now made in Penn
sylvania to break the iron clutch in
which the unions hold the hard coal
mines is a good step. 1t would be
A useful preliminary to a sweeping
reform which would put all coal
mines under Federal control. What
with the difference in cost OF produc-
ton at the various coal regions the
coal business, from a national view
point. is a ramshackle industry. The
union power. used to make strikes
but not to prevent them, must be
ended as real reform comes.

The reports of unrest throughout
central Europe following the French
decision regarding the Ruhr region
would undoubtedly have attracted
more attention had they not been In
a great measure overshadowed by
the news from the Rhine Valley.
Hungary IS much agitated by ac-
tivities in the State forming the
Little Entente and processes TO see

cation IN Jugo-Slavia and Rumania
an attempt to enforce reparations
demands upon her in somewhat the
same manner as France is using

Slovakia, perhaps the entire Little

of Frances determination TO go into

Hungary's uneasiness is largely
the result OF military activities on

ably a concentration of troops

The best information obtainable
regarding the Russian red army is
that Its entire ration strength is
about 100000 men, Including
100, 900 Cheka troops Estate politi-
cal POLICE. The total rife and
sabre strength is between 100000
and 100000. For about a year
there has been a gradual soncen-
tration Of red army strength along
the Polish and Roumanian from
tiers. It is estimated that the soviet
now has on the Polish front about
500 guns, and 10000 men, Of
whom 10000 are combatants. In
the Kieff area on the Roumanian
front the reds are supposed to have
900 guns and $4,000 mon. and in
the Karkoff area on that front about
200 guns and 100000 men. These
are presumed to he mere covering
forces for a general mobilization.
The extent TO which the soviet
can mobilize the Russians is not
disclosed. The food supply has
much to do with soviet ability to
increase the army. The food sup
ply OF lue army - Sctiu ~ 10 1000 -
adequate, but II is difficult to main
tain the supply. There is a lack Of
equipment in the army, and crime
among the soldiers is said to be in
creasing. The most impartial re-
ports, however. agree that the red
army Is formidable in size and train
ing. Inducements have been made
to Russian imperial officers to join
the army. and German officers also
have been taken over.
Military men take It for granted
that If the Russian red army should
move to aid Germany, French
armies would go through Germany
and Join the forces Of Poland and
Roumania, to hold back the reds at
the frontiers of those countries
Thus there is envisaged a possible
war between France and soviet Rus
