THE CANAL URGE
Miami Herald)

One OF the best ways of keeping Flor
ldlans with an ingrained promotion urge
happily employed is to make them propon-
ents of one or another of the cross-state
canal routes, a harmless occupation that
keeps them busy with maps and charts for
years, safe from harms path.
The latest canal to be given United
States Army engineer notice is that from
the st. Johns river, across Marion county
and out into the Gulf of Mexico past Yank-
eetown, the promotional TOWNSHIP of Pop"
Knots, hardy perennial candidate for
comptroller on the Republican ticket So
far has this canal progressed in dreams
that canal commission is now to be NAM
ed, and the county of Marion, otherwise
normal, had special act passed allowing
right of way for the canal
All this hinges, of course, upon the
government allotting some $200,000,000 to
the task of cutting the canal through the
high part of Florida, installing locks to lift
the dream boats 40 feet in Marion county,

the fair face of Florida that the navies of
the world would soon be streaming past
Dunnellon and Palatka.
This entirely overlooks the fact that at
least two cross-state canals are already in
existence, that is, they would be if there
were any traffic to warrant them being dug
out and maintained. Here and at the st.
Lucie canal are the foundations for a sea
level canal already partly dug, and certain
ly not requiring any 100000, 900 to finish
But no, the midstate canal enthusiasts say
100000, not dime less.
They have not yet shown where any
considerable volume of traffic could be in
duced to thread such winding path, TAX
ing up as much or more time as to go
around Key West. That is one of the
beautiful features of the cross-state canal
idea. You just sit on the banks of one of
the brooks now constituting cross-state
canal links and close your eyes and all sorts
of beautiful ships float past We even had
man come in here once who could abso-
lutely prove that such canal would make
$50, 100000 year.
But if promoting cross-state canals
keeps the boys happy and out of mischief,
more power to it. Just so it doesn't by
chance begin to cost us money

An amusing twist was given to a mu-
nicipal campaign in Vancouver, B. c., re-
Gently, when the reelection of Mayor L. ID.
Taylor was opposed by all the newspapers
in the city.
Some time previous to the campaign.
Mr. Taylor had been apparently at the
point of death. so newspapers had prepar-
ed highly commendatory editorials for
publication when he should shuttle off,
and had them set in type. The mayor
got we'll and the type discarded. but proofs
had been struck. and somehow he got hold
of them.
AT the height of the campaign he read
the Mandatory editorials to large audience.
much TO the amusement of the public and
the discontinue of the editors.
But the newspapers had their revenge.
The mayor was defeated in the election,

PEOPLES FORUM
GENERAL RIVERS GIVES
VIEWS ON EXPENDITURE
FOR ARMY ALLOTMENTS

Detailed press reports of the re-
quest of the Secretary of War Tor
an allotment, from one of the ST.
O0O. 900, 900 recovery bills, of $40,-
0O0, 900 for army housing indicate
the money is to be expended on
existing army posts, arsenals.
depots and national cemeteries.
Probably the law and custom re-
quire funds from such bill to be
distributed throughout the coun-
try, or the Secretary of War might
have desired to take advantage of
such windfall to greatly reduce
the normal army cost by concen-
trating some of the troops in larg-
er posts. In addition to some
twenty-odd depots and arsenals of
supply, and several general hos
pitfalls, there are approximately 100
garrisoned posts in the limits of
the United States that shelter an
average of about 700 troops each.
This includes the ten largest posts.
the post graduate army schools,
for which some $10,000,000 are
asked. At these separate schools
young officers of the different
arms undergo instruction largely
separated from officers and troops
of the other arms and branches
an officer normally going only to-
the school of his own arm.
Even if advantage could be tax
en- of the allotment only to con-
centrate all these army schools in
one educational and training CEN
ter, the advantage to training
would be manifest. At such a
training center young officer at
tending for a year the school of
his own arm could then serve right
there with the troops of two other
arms a second year, without
change and without travel expense.
There are now at the staff school,
infantry school, artillery school
and cavalry school probably TO-
900 troops-at five widely sep
arated posts. Field training with
brigades and skeleton divisions
would thus be practicable at no
extra cost. We could then keep
away from the former peace time
condition i'm our army. where most
all of US had never seen a brigade
or division in being before We
went into the last war.
A young officer practically
trained only and almost wholly in
the work of his own arm will rare
ly ever reach his maximum of rea-
sonable expertness and efficiency
in war, for he will have imbibed
| many faults and ignorances of our
old system, which those of us who
had line-of-battle experience in
France thought would surely be
avoided in future. Modern war is
fast and furious game and this
| subject of the early and broad
training of young officers is q
vital one. 1t is especially so IN
our country, where massing num-
bers of troops for general train
ing has never been possible. due
to the expense, and where the gem
eral training of officers proceeds
| at the excellent staff school and
war college. by means of study
and written exercises and map
maneuvers illustrating the limita-
tions and powers of all arms in
war.
