ual fighters working in combination,
not mere cogs in machine-like
opera ton. Automatic soldiers,
manufactured on the parade ground,
are out of place on the modern
battle field"
Capt. Hart believes that, between
forces equal in armament and Or
ganization, modern war favors the
infantry which can think and act
for itself, which, he says, is equiva-
lent to saying that modern war
favors the democracies.
In the last war. he points out, the
armies which collapsed were those of
the autocratic states - Germany,
Austria. Turkey and Russia in re-
verse chronological order. The best
fighting troops were the Canadian
and the Australian, he says. These
felt perfectly free to criticize a fool
ish order, and did so generously.
Danger From the Air.
On the old and ever-present ques-
ton of the invasion of England,
Capt. Hart has some partially reas-
suring words. He considers all the
standard methods. and finds posi-
bilities but no certainties in these.
He includes even such untried meth
odS as parachute troops, and be-
lieves these most valuable as acces-
sories to air bombardment, and as
a means of introducing saboteurs
The only first rate danger to the
soil of England is still, he believes,
an overwhelming air attack, and it
is his idea that to be most effective
this should (and probably would
come in the first weeks of war.
"Of all types of force" says
Hart, "an air force has the greatest
mobility and f1exibility, especially
when it is operating in its own
territory. where there is likely to
be a close linked chain of aero
dromes.
BY contrast. the invaders re-
scources are rigidly limited unless
he can not only make good his
landing but occupy a sufficiently
large stretch of the country to
establish aerodromes. Only against
some isolated colony, out of reach
of air reinforcement from the
mother country. does there seem to
be a chance of overseas invasion
succeeding under present condi-
tions."
Although he wrote before war
began, Capt. Harts implied opinion
that air attacks against England
might not be an Immediately de-
cisive factor have been born out
by events to date.

tillery carriages and miscellaneous
war equipment at the Rock Island
CID Arsenal, Col. Norman F. Ram
sey, commanding officer, said today.

arsenal's employment list falls far
short of the World War peak of more
than 10000
A gradual increase to 1000 may
be expected before the present two
year manufacturing program is COM
pleted, the colonel said.
A special shop is being used in
a $4,000 900 Navy secondary battery
manufacturing program, he added.
No visitors are allowed to enter
the shops.
Equipment repeatedly is available

B-Ton Instrument
Measures Magnetic
Power Of Tiny Neutron
Feat Is Important Step
Toward knowledge Of
How Matter Is Formed
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10
With the help of ponderous, 75-
ton laboratory instrument, two
scientists have measured the mag
netic strength of the smallest known
neutral particle of matter, the
neutron.
The measurement is considered OF
fundamental Importance In the
study of atomic structure. 1t may
help physicists to learn more about
how matter is formed.
Prof. Felix Bloch of Stanford
University and Prof. Luis w. Al
varez of the University of Cali
fornia, who collaborated in the work,
announced the measurement today.
Technically it is 1913 "nuclear
magnetons." To reduce the term
to ordinary dimensions they calcu-
lated it would take 900 ,000, 900 000,-
600 900, 10000 zone trillion trillion)
neutrons to equal the strength OF
a small horseshoe magnet such as Is
obtainable in sand -10-cent stores.
Are Cores of all Atoms.
Neutrons are themselves little
magnets. Together with protons,
particles of about the same weight,
they make up the nuclei, or cores,
of all atoms.
For the measurement. great num-
bers of neutrons were produced IN
the University of CALIFORNIA; re-
search cyclotron, an atom smashing
machine. They come out with sui
ficient speed to pass through two
steel plates each two inches thick.
First the neutron stream was
directed at one of the plates, which
was magnetized and called polar
izer. The neutrons which passed
through this plate lined up roughly
parallel to the magnetic lines OF
the polarizer. The neutronS them
selves thus were polarized.
When the second plate was set
up two feet away from the polarizer
and similarly magnetized, many
polarized neutrons would pass on
through it also But when the
second plate was turned end for
end, so that its polarity was opposite
that of the first plate, few neutrons
would go through it.
Lightning Like Oscillation.
To measure the strength of the
neutronS the professor turned the
neutrons around instead of turning
the second plate. This was done
by creating another magnetic field
between the two plates
The additional magnetic field was
made to oscillate or change polarity
about 100000 times a second. Each
oscillation caused the neutrons to
pivot back and forth so that their
tiny poles would line up in agree
ment with the rapid alterations.
The speed of the oscillations could
be varied When it was set to cause
the maximum number of neutrons
to pivot, a minimum number of the
neutrons would pass through the
second plate. A delicate instrument
counted the neutrons that con-
tinued to pass through. With this
count and with data on the speed
of the pivoting, Profs. Bloch ano
Alvarez computed the magnetic
strength of those passing through
and finally the magnetic power ot
single particle.
They said the result was accurate
to within l per cent of expected
calculations.
At Columbia University DR.. I. I
Rabi and associates recently com.
puted the magnetic strength of the
nucleus of a heavy hydrogen atom
This nucleus is combination of one
neutron and one proton.
