WASHINGTON, May 10. - The next war" if it comes, especially if fought on American soil, will be war of comparatively small but highly trained armies, travelling to the attack at high speed.
 Thus future conflicts are seen by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff of the U. s. Army and he is endeavoring to build up and equip the American forces with these ideas in mind. One of the first steps, already put into effect, is to organize the regular army and national guard troops in the United States into four armies, each com plete in itself and ready to at tack as a unit in case it's area is attacked.
 The vast armies of millions of men, fighting on fronts hundreds of miles in length and practically deadlocked for months and even years at tune, Sucn as were typl- cal of the World War, will be out moded in the next war, General McArthur believes.
 In an attack on the United States, a small but highly modern i5ed enemy force might be able to strike a serious blow at some vital center.
 There can be no doubt" says the general, that thoroughly efficient and completely modernized forces, although only of moderate size, will be capable of striking telling blows.
 Use Fast Machines
 An attack by such units might

Free Meals on Dark Days Don't Cost This Host Much

GUNNISON, Colo, May 10- Cloudy days means free meals to guests of Bert Stitzer's hotel here.
 Stitzer has had a standing agree ment for 23 years that every day the sun fails to make it's appear ance, he will foot the dinner checks for all of his patrons.
 The last free dinner was served in December, 1894, and was the first since 1892, Stitzer said. His records show that Gunnison in the last 23 years has had only IT days on which the sun did NOT shine for at least a few minutes.

LINK DEFIED

GLASGOW, May 9.-Defying jinx of the sea, new cargo vessel launched here has been christened Marina" She is the fourth ship to bear the name, all the others having met with disaster.
 The first of them, Donaldscn liner was torpedeed in 1915 near Fastnet with loss of l8 seanien. The survivors, including several Americans, spent 30 hours in oren boats in a turbulent sea before be- ing picked up. The episode resulted in one of the strongest notes from Washington to Germany of that pa- riod of the war.
 The second Marina" Greek vessel. fell victim to another Ger man submarine in the Mediterran- can. The third was sunk by mine.

be delivered against our sensitive areas with devastating suddenness, and the only sure defense would be prompt intervention of defensive forces featuring an equal degree of speed and power"
 In future wars, armies will use fast machines both for moving to the point of combat and in action. An armys movements will depend on the speed of its trucks and tanks instead of the speed at which men and horses can walk Because of this greater speed, armies will operate and fight over much great CT distances and areas. They will be kept relatively small for ease of maneuvering.
 Because weapons will have far greater power and efficiency than in World War days, each soldier will have much more fighting eff fectiveness. Instead of closely punched masses of men, troops VIII fight in more open formation.
 More "Open Warfare"
 Commanders will strive to move their armies about rapidly, seeking to deliver fast surprise attacks on the enemy's Hanks with speedy tanks, artillery and combat cars. There will be fewer frontal attacks on strong enemy positions. There will be a return to the open war fare" of the days when armies were constantly maneuvering instead of digging in" and grimly holding a position
 Airplanes will play a greater part

than ever before, both in scouting and in bombarding and attacking the enemy's troops and supplies. With this idea in mind, the United States was the first major power to develop attack aviation, new arm of the air force designed to swoop down on troops and rake them with machine gun fire.
 The next war will not be entire ly mechanized, however, for ma chimes have their limitations, Gen eral MacArthur points out. Neither will some particular machine domi- nate in future wars, not only be- cause of mechanical limitations, but because man is always ingen- ious enough to develop a defense against almost any kind of attack.
