HARD-BOILED OLD ARMY
OFFICERS ARE PASSING:
| YOUNG MEN IN COMMAND
The old the same reason.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. = The old
Army is passing.
The gruff, hard boiled, middle
aged on-commissioned officers are
giving way to younger men, gentle
men rankers," as kipling would call
them Today, say army authorities
here, the military establishment
abounds with youngsters holding the
highest enlisted grades up to and
including that of master sergeant
the very highest.
Before the World War the SER
geants and first sergeants usually
were "oldtmers" who had to their
credit at least ten years of service;
service in Cuba, Panama, Alaska
China or the Philippines. The war
took an enormous toll of these men,
and hundreds more retire each year
on three quarters pay at the end OF
80 years service. Few of the hardy
soldiers who fought in the Spanish
American War and against Aguin-
aldo and Luzon are left. The army
today is composed primarily of young
men.
This is accounted for by the rapid
turnover. The present day soldier
is not a professional military man.
He enters the service just as he
would enter a college, and for much

the same reason.
The schools of Uncle Sans army
are among the finest in the country.
Practically every line of human en-
deavOr is taught, from the raising
of horses to medical and radio
science, engineering, cooking and the
many mechanical trades.
Each year thousands of young
men who have completed courses
offered to it's personnel by the army,
purchase their discharges for nom-
inal sum and return to civil life.
Nearly all Of their applications are
based on the offer of more lucrative
positions by commercial concerns,
and it is a cardinal principle of the
army that it shall not stand in the
way, in peace time, of an enlisted
man who has the opportunity to
better his position in life.

thought the defendants were guilty
but that they should not take his
opinion. He said the jury would
have to convict or acquit Mrs. Olm-
listed on the testimony OF Mrs. Ruth
Elbro alone.
In my opinion, conspiracy has
been established between Olmsted
and some of the defendants ON both
counts, but you are not to take
this opinion said Judge Neterer.

Judge, the defendants are guilty
on both counts or none, but that

ROAD CASH IS
NOW PROPOSED
Chief Forester Greeley Makes
Suggestion fore
House Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. w. F..
Greeley, chief forester, before the
House roads committee. suggested
a cut in the annual federal appro-
priation for roads in National For
ests in Alaska to 5000 900 from $4G0,-
600 for 1928 and 1929. Delegate
Sutherland, in opposing the cut, de-
clared It was discriminating against
Alaska.
Alaska is the great object of
economy by Congressman" declar-
ed the Delegate, but wait until some
appropriation for the Panama Canal
arises and you'll find no demand for
economy Alaska has no Senators
nor Representatives, no vote in Con
gress."
When Representative G. B. Huds-
peth, Democrat of Texas, asked why
Alaska did not make great interests
using it, help more, the Delegate
said:
"A great howl would be raised
about discouraging capital Our
Legislature does not dare assess
these corporations heavily. Nearly
every tax is fought to the Supreme
Court. Our power is limited"
Blame On Congressman
Sutherland said he opposed ex-
cessve taxation by the Territory
and blamed the recent visit of Rep
resentatives Free and Treadway to
Alaska for agitating over economy.
Greeley said Alaska was sharing
the National Forests road funds on
the same basis as the states and fur
ther said the Alaska system was
farther ahead than other regions CON

adopt a vigorous policy to develop
Alaska" said Greeley, (which can
not be planned on the same basis as
in the states. The government
should follow a more liberal plan"
Greeley said the prospects were
good for the growth of the pulp,
paper, minerals and fisheries, and
asserted the government should be
able to give Alaska needed roads
promptly. He said while he favor
ed cutting the National Forest ap-
preparation for two years, he op-
posed a permanent decrease.
