ARM

Discussion is being made in Army
circles, it is understood, relative to
the consolidation of the Field and
Coast Artillery. The first official
recommendation for such a proposal
was made in the 1921 annual report
of Maj. Gen. +. w. Coe, chief of Coast
Artillery. in which he declared that
at is, however, apparent to me that
various questions will arise in the
Interpretation of these instructions
referring to the composition and
functions of the Coast Artillery and
the Field Artillery as published in
general orderS) and that upon such
Interpretation will depend to a
greater or lessor extent the state of
the preparedness of the two branches
of artillery to fulfill in the most effec-
tive manner their missions in both
peace and war. All of these ques-
tions will arise from the fact that
there are two separate branches of
artillery with no natural line of di-
vision. and that provision is lacking
for ii properly constituted agency to
harmonizc administrative and tech
meal details of the two branches
especially in the borderland where
they come together"
Up to 1906 or 1907 the artillery was
all in one arm, the division at this
time being chiefly due to two causes,
viz:
l. Limitation upon the mobile
caliber imposed by the tractive force,
that is. the horse.
he erroneous conception that
coast-defense guns on fixed mounts
afford by themselves a protection
which. in fact, can only be provided by
an army.
In the World War. however the
Introduction of motor transportation in
artillery made the largest guns
mobile. Ii is insisted by the sup
porters of the consolidation that with
railroad transportation the heaviest
guns can be moved with greater
rdpidity than horse artillery; that
anti-aircraft guns belong to both
artillery branches, and, since the
Limitation of mobility has been re-
moved. the necessity for two separate
branches of artillery is not needed.
Those opposed to the consolidation
plan point out that coast defenses
are sort of secondary line of de-
tense in the event that our sea
forces should meet with disaster with
an enemy on the high seas and that
our coast fortitica tons demand
specially trained personnel to man
the guns. 1t is argued however. that
the Coast Artillery system of train
ing and instruction could be changed
for field service. The proposal is
evincinS considerable discussion
throughout the service and it is pos
Sible that a recommendation for leg
islation authorizing such "A CONSOLE
dation may be submitted at the ap-
preaching session of Congress.

"PoP" GEERs NO MORE

Edward F, Geers, veteran turf man. died with his boots on. He was victim of the calling to which he lent lustre for half century. During his notable career he was the ideal jockey, lending note of dignity to the track which Is we'll worthy of emulation by the younger element following a similar mode of liveli- hood.
 A native Of Memphis, he drove horses on race tracks since he was 17 years of age. At his death, following spill yesterday at the Wheeling track. he was 73. During that long span he lived an ideal life and to- ward the end of his career was known as the grand old man of the turf"
 Geers had friends in this vicinity. One of them was Wilbur B.. Hall of Meriden, who had known Geers for 25 years. Hall himself is a track man and was with Geers at the grand circuit races at Kalamazoo, Mich, recently. After the Wheeling state fair Geers was to have brought his horses to Connecticut, it was stat ed by Hall.
 Pop" Geers stood high in the af- fections of the populaSe and his tragic passing will be greatly re- gretted.
