army war college, and instructor
in tactics at West Point.
Colonel Buckner believes that
an essential attribute of the good
army officer is an understanding
of the enlisted mans point of view
An office, he believes, should
know the reactions of the man in
the ranks to an order; the diff
f1cultieS that face a soldier on the
march and in camp and how they
may be overcome; the imponder-
ables that weaken morale, what
a, soldier can do to attain the max
imum of health and personal COM
fort in camp, on the march.
TINE Commandant believes
Il that all of this may be
learned adequately only if the
cadet in training for commission
follows the precise route of an
enlisted man, meeting and con-
quering, without an instructor

the gray-haired commandant, who
has as much go and snap in his
bearing still as has the youngest
cadet on parade.
His sharp gray eyes, watchful
from the sound of the first bugle
call in the dark of the early rainy
morning, lost no detail of the I'M
folding of his idea to increase the
usefulness of an officer during the
hike last week.
Colonel Buckner, whose father
was a Confederate general in the
Civil war and Governor of Ken
lucky from 1887 to 1891, was grad
uated from West Point in 1908,
served in the Philippines and, soon
after this countryS entry into the
World war organized and trained
aviation units.
Thereafter. on the general staff,
he was in charge of senior and
staff officers of the Seventeenth
division and later he was at the
Infantry school, Fort Benning,
Ga; at the command and general

leading him safely by the hand,
the full force of distractions fac
ing the soldier, and only if he
does the lowly, tedious, back
straining chores that make up life
for those in the ranks.
With all of this in mind,
Colonel Buckner inaugurated this
year the most eXacting field
maneuvers held from the military
academy in years. Starting a
week ago Monday, they were
planned for five days, but broke
up on Thursday because of record
rain storms.
Cadets were in complete charge
tactical officers acting only in
supervising capacity - of making
camp.
They drove trucks, unloaded
trucks, put up the officers tents
as we'll as their own-established
field kitchens, cooked, peeled
potatoes, hauled water, tended
some 200 horses, cleaned harness
and provided latrines. The orders
of cadets and the muscles Of
cadets broke camp, too.
THEY performed every task,
Il turn and turn about, that
ordinarily would have fallen to
enlisted men. They stood in drip
ping lines for chow with ordinary
mess kits and they learned, with
out the assistance of instructions,
how to keep themselves as COM
Portable as one may in cloud
bursts.
On the march, cadets were bat
talon leaders, officers in charge
of companies and supplies Cadet
officers were given daily problems
to outwit the enemy
They prepared their own plan
of attack, gave their own COM
mands for movements of units
over roads and fields and thicketed
hillsides

tents wrong. The water that
smashes against the tent has no
place to trickle, save inside. The
cadets spend the night in the r1s-
ing pool.

l. ants, captains, majors OF the

through the mud at revellle note

They say nothing.
The officers know that the two
cadetS-and many others among
the 600 on the f1eld-will profit by
the pain of their error, ditch"
correctly the next night, and, more
important than all, will see to it
with grim, reminiscent fervor
when they are officers themselves
that the men they command in
the field will ditch" their tents
right.
Heads down against the rain,
the tactical officers then squash a
careful way through the Doggy
camp to their mess fly and, await
ing the uplift of 6 a. m. coffee,
mediate with satisfaction on the
first evidence of the value of a
new program.
The thoroughly learned lesson
of the faulty ditched tent was
one of many learned by the Off
GERS to-be by realistic participa-

for the benefit of thousands of SOL
diers-yet- to-be under this West

Sighted for many years, the
plan was given its first full and

game just ended by the cadets,
after encounters with phases of
camp weather as severe as posi-
BILE in times of peace.
The desirability of renewed
stress on field training for pro-
spective officers was advanced by
Lieutenant Colonel Simon B.

COURTS BACK

Emergency Acts Upheld as
Constitutional, Asserts

By Htfed Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The
Rooseveltian New Deal marched on
today. confident of the constitu-
tionality of It's acts.
The courts have upheld both the
National Industrial Recovery act
and the Agricultural Adjustment
act.
And now Attorney General Homer
Cummings, in forceful and pol
ished speech before the American
Bar Association at Grand Rapids,
has served notice on the nations
lawyers that the country expects
them to cooperate.
In detail, he defends the legality
of MIRA, AAA, and all other
extraordinary enactments since
March 4. The life, letter. and in
tegrity of the constitution have not
been impaired the attorney-gen-
eral told the bar.
No Longer MOlested
He spoke Of the gerat economic
and industrial changes. We are
no longer a nation whose problems
are local and isolated he declared.
To-day almost every economic and
social problem is both local and
national
He described endeavors being made
by President Roosevelt to meet these
changed conditions, and then pointed
to the words of Justice Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. recently retired from
the United States supreme court. to
show that he believed the courts
themselves would recognize these
new conditions in finally passing in
the legality of the new deal.
In dealing with given cases" the
attorney general said at Grand
Rapids. Il am confident that the
courts. in the words of Mr.. Justice
HolemS. yill consider them in the
light of our whole experience. and
not merely by what was said 100
years ago.
Expect Congress Aid
It is upon recognition by Con-
gress of these new economic con-
ditions. of the present acute in
dustrial and social emergency. as
set out in MIRA and AAA, that
government legal experts expect
these laws to be upheld.
The preambles of both acts say
that Congress sees the great emer-
gency, and is endeavoring to meet
it.
Both District of Columbia judges
who have ruled on these laws have
upheld their constitutionality espe-
cially because of these presmbles.
