No EXTRA MONEY
TO Be SPENT ON
DEFENSE Day
Army viii Be Entirely
Modified on
Sept. IL.
BY KENNETH WATSON
Times Washington Bureau,
1922 NeiC York Are


WASHINGTON, Aug Ami
forms that haven't been worn since
wartime are due to come out OF
the moth balls on Sept. u, when
the largest and most unique
military demonstration in this coun-
try since the war will be staged.
The Defense Test" will be the
largest mobilization Of Uncle Sans
military forces since the Armistice.
The regular army, the National
Guard, and the organized reserves
will take part in it.
Secretary of War Weeks has
ordered that the bringing to war
strength of the armed forces Of the
nation is to be accomplished with
cut any increased expenditure OF
public funds.
Instead of divisional mobilization
which caused so much chaos when
the United States entered the war,
the demonstration will be a test of
General Pershing's idea of local
mobilization in case Of need.
No Elaborate Plans
Also no elaborate plans are being
/. laid down by Weeks or Pershing,
because the mobilization is expected
to test the ingenuity and resource
fuIness of every officer in the
country.
I'VE hope by this defense test to
impress upon the individual officer
and soldier his particular function.
II war comes. We have never be-
fore undertaken such a step in in
struction, and in the last emergency
we found ourselves in a very serious
dilemma Now we are trying to edu-
cate each individual in a practical
way, so that when the time comes,
Il It should come. he will not expect
some one to lead him by the hand
and point out what he should do, F"
Pershing declared recently. in COM
nenting on the defense test"
The demonstration will be purely
local in character, with programs
varying according to the ideas Of the
company or regimental commander.
General Pershing says: The de-
kense test will demonstrate and ex-
plain what preparation for national
defense means in our country"
Pershing cited the problem which
confronts Captain Smith of Laclede,
No, his own home town.
Significance of Sept IL
Captain Smith is called out on
Defense day. He wonders what it
Is all about and what he has TO do.
First, he probably will set up a
recruiting officer. Then he probab-
iy will conclude that he should To-
cate some place for his headquar-
ters. Then he would plan for the
enrolment Of the men from the
community, decide where they could
be quartered, determine on local ar
engagements for feeding them. and
select a suitable drill ground.
Then he will probably call his
officers together and discuss the or
ganization Of the company. So,
when an emergency really comes he
will have thought it all out and
have an idea of how to solve the
problem efficiently"
Sept. u was selected because it
IS the sixth anniversary Of the bat
tie Of St. Mihiel, which broke Ger
man lines held since early in the
war.

CHAMPION COW
GIVEN TO SCIENCE
Best Milk Producer Now in

BIZ NEA Service
BELTSVILLE, Nd, Aug. A.
Even In death. Sophie nineteenth.
famous Jersey champion. has given
herself ever to science.
After nearly twenty years Of serv-
ice in milk and butter production,
during which time she held
many championships. Sophia was
slaughtered recently on the Govern
ment farm here, in the presence OF
many scientists interested in the
study and improvement OF domestic
animals. She was a member Of the
famous Jersey herd at Hood Farm,
Lowell, Mass.
But, killed because Of old age. So
phie IS still useful to science. Her
body has been the object OF study
by scientists Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
Their special search is confined to
high-yielding dairy COWS. to see II
there is some relationship between
y the sizes of their organs and their
productivity. Also a new basis for
judging dairy cattle may be de-
veloped.
During her lifetime Sophie pro-
duced nearly LOTIONS Of milk and
almost five tons Of butter. At the
age Of Z years she produced sse
pounds of butterfat, which means
about 1900 pounds OF butter in one
year.
From January, 1914. to November
1918, she was world champion
Jersey and as late as 1920, when she
was very old for a COW. she was
eighth highest milk producer of the
breed

Cannibal Ancestors

PARIS-The discovery Of a pile
Of human bones dating from the
Neolithic period-at least 5000 years
ago-in a cave near Auch. in the
south Of France, has given rise to
the theory that prehistoric men at
that period were undoubtedly canni-
balls. The bones all bear marks of
teeth and apparently form the re-
mains of some gigantic cannibal
feast.
