LAX WAR TRAINING
Hazardous and Unjust to
Citizen, Army Officer Tells.
Public Institute.
By the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated PreSs.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, August
20.-For a country to afford to it's
citizens no training for the ordeal they
will be asked to meet in war is both
hazardous to the state and wholly
unjust to the citizen" Col. Stanley d.
Embrick, General Staff Corps of the
United States Army, told the Insti.
tute Of Public Affairs at the Univer-
sity Of Virginia last night.
Reviewing the wars OF this country
with attention given to "our use Of
raw troops" Col. Embick said that
military resources, whether in men or
material, have not the same meaning
as military strength. He said that
the magnitude of our potential re-
sources were of the first order, but to
develop our latent strength TO create
effective citizen armies from war
levies and to 'remOld and bring into
war production 'our vast and ccm-
pick machine" would be a work Of
many months.
Holding that the United States can.
not rely for her security solely upon
her latent strength. the speaker de.
ciared that the broad question under
lying her permanent military policy
is. What preparatory measures must
he taken during peace. in order to
permit of the timely development of
our potential resources after an out
break of war;" He charged that
these measures must include the pro-
vision of trained force under the
protection of which our wartime de-
velopment could go forward unham-
pered by enemy action, and of gar
risons for outlying possessions, and
the preparation of plans for the
prompt conversion of industries to a
war basis.
Col. Embick in discussing the pres
ent military policy of this country
said that lit contemplates a military
establishment which will be created
only after war has come upon us. and
that it is of such a nature that IL
inspires no fear in others, for It IS
wholly unsuitable for aggression"

in sternly; this is hardly your affair
Mr.. Dahlgren, will ask you to go be-
low" and to his officer he said: Bring
Miss Morris to me"
There was nothing for christopher
to do but obey the captain. On ship
board one does not question official au.

porters mind was in turmoil, his
heart performing all sorts Of disagree

was in no mood for conversation!

new MODEL TELESCOPE
MAY CUT SIZE OF DOMES
Instrument Perfected by DR.. Ritch-
ey Expected to Reduce Heavy
Expense at Observatories.
By Science Service.

By Science Service.
PARIS, August 20. The great
dome, 100 feet in diameter, which
covers the worlds largest telescope
at Mount Wilson in California, could
be made less than 40 feet in diameter.
IL the instrument were made accord
ing to new plans of DR.. G. w.
Ritchey. DR.. Ritchey was formerly
at the Mount Wilson Observatory
and designed the big telescope there.
He has been working for several
years at the Paris Observatory.
At a recent meeting of the French
Academy of Sciences he presented
the first model of what he terms an
"aplanatic telescope" Like the great
California telescope, this is reflector,
where a mirror takes the place of
the lens of more familiar instru-
ments. A concave mirror reflects the
star light back toward the star to
a smaller mirror, from which it trav
els back again, through a hole in
the big one, to the eye of the
observer.
DR.. Ritchey and Henri Chretien,
with whom he has been working,
have discovered a new method of
making the mirrors, by means of
which the telescope can be made
1HuCH SlOTteT IMAM ny OlucI iIlctuOuS'
In the model the mirror is about 1914
inches in diameter though the entire
telescope is less than feet long.
1t is expected that the new system
will greatly reduce the cost and SIM
plify the construction of still larger
telescopes that are planned. f. G..
Pease, who was associated with DIR.
Ritchey at Mount Wilson, has made
preliminary plans for one with a
30O-inch mirror, to cost possibly S12,-
OOO, 900, while DR.. Ritchey himself has
been interested in big one to be
placed in the Alps.

JAPANESE PRINCESS
PLACES DOLL ON VIEW
Miss America, Presented by u. S.
School Children, Trans
ferred to Museum.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TOKIO.-Miss America, the beauti-
full doll presented by American school
children to the little Princess Teru,
daughter Of the Emperor and En-
press, has been formally transferred
from the Imperial Palace to the De-
partment of Education. She will take
her place there with the other gift
dolls sent from the United States.
The little princess will, however,
from time to time, have Miss America
for a visit, because she likes this doll
more than any other. During her stay
with Princess Teru, Miss America had
her fur coat changed to a pretty Sum-
mer dress. She was also presented
with a vanity box filled with minia-
ture sweets, revolving lanterns, gold
and silver fans, toy bird cage and
numerous other costly gifts.
Miss America will be viewed by the
public at the Educational Museum in
Ueno Park.
In the meantime the school children
Of Japan are preparing handsome
Japanese dolls for presentation to
American children some time next
Spring. Some of these dolls have al
ready been completed.
