surely does, that the JugoSlavS can
put in the field an army Of 400, 900
Of the best trained and finest
fighting men in the world.
But If war should come, what
will be its form? Will all the
prophecies Of deadly gases and
deadly rays be fulfilled? viii
great cities be wiped off the map
by tons Of explosives dropped
from 'armadas of the air. This is
idle, if interesting, speculation.
The World War had been rag:
ing for three years before the
United States entered it. Air
planes, tanks and long-range guns
had been introduced into warfare
during those three years. And yet
Pershing concentrated on the in
dividual soldier and his use Of the
rifle, and his Judgment was vim
dicated quickly at Belleau Wood.
l. DECISIVE FACTOR
The man with his machine gun
in a concrete pill-boX is problem
not solved by airplaneS and gases.
On the, defense, he will account
for many times his number Of at
tackers. In Europe, it seems GER
tain that another war would re-
solve Itself into the trenches, but
this time the trenches would be OF
concrete, not Of mud. The de-
struction and the defense Of cities
and civilians far removed from the
battle line will be a major con-
Germ and very likely decisive fac
tor in any continental war.
That is why for years past Eng
land, France and Germany have
been training civilians in the use
of gas masks and underground
havens in the event of airplane
raids. Paris alone has room for
600, 900 persons in gas-proof under
ground shelters. Y
Swinging over to Japan we find
that each school child is trained
in the use Of a gas mask, and
that the entire operations Of large
cities are suspended at stated in
tervals while the population goes
through an AFRAID drill under
realistic conditions.
Yes, Europe is preparing, pre-
pairing at the expense of the Amer
ican people with the billions Of
dollars which should have been
paid to us going into airplanes,
concrete trenches and battleshipS.
Perhaps, from the money side Of
it, our lesson will not have been
too dearly bought!

Patronage seekers have had too
much difficulty in securing jobs
for constituents to permit them

PARTY Government and Pat
ronage" is the arresting title Of a
timely article which its editor
publishes in the current issue Of
Good Government-the official
quarterly Of the National Civil
Service Reform League.
What Mr.. Kaplan says in this
editorial will anger all pork-barrel
politicians and other political
sycophants who owe their places
on the public payroll not to their
qualifications for the public serv-
ice, but to the cunning with which
they serve themselves at. public
expense. =
To patriotic men and women Of
independent minds, however, the
exposure Of the iniquitieS Of the
spoils system which Mr.. Kaplan
makes will hold special interest.
SAME CATEGORY
Here is what" he says, in part,
and first voters in particular will
welcome his words:
Patronage is no more a Iegiti-
mate attribute Of . political
party than would be a 'rake-Off
or commission to the political
organization on public contract.
"NO one would seriously sug.
gest that If the Socialist party
were successful In an election,
10 per cent Of all the money
spent on highway construction
and maintenance during its in
cumbency should be distributed
among its party workers.
"The analogy may be some.
what extreme, but fundamentally
the distribution Of patronage to
workers of the successful party
falls in the same category.
"We must not lose sight Of the
fact that during the early days
Of cur Republic, the civil service
was relatively small.
