In peacetime, G-2 is the happy hunting
ground of udget-cutters. Nobody misses
score or two of officers lopped off division
known as G-2. And, ever since the first World
War, the budget-cutters have had grand
time with the Military Intelligence.
In 1918 there were 282 Military lntelli-
gence officers on the job in the United States.
Today, even after a recent increase, there are
only forty-two officers attached to the
Washington staff That will give you an idea.
And in 1918, the Fifth Column wasn't nearly
the menace that it is today.
All these forty-two officers have to do is
to combat subversive activity and espionage
in the military establishment, safeguard
military information, collect information from
all over the world, disseminate that mforma-
ton to interested branches of the United
States Army, keep an eye on political and
economic situations in every country in the
world, check up on munitions shipments, and
few other matters like that. Writing of one
phase of the job, Miless predecessor Colonel
E. R. Warner McCabe, established something
of record of understatement with: The
Domestic Intelligence is charged also with
planning to combat sabotage. This is large
assignment ..'

HE game of war is changing faster today
than it ever did before. On the testing
d grounds of Europe the old maneuvers
have dumpled n failure. The letter perfect
blueprints have been blown apart on the
battlefields. New gadgets, new techniques for
killing have been put to use.
And, in the Munitions Building at Wash
ington, the unit known as the Military Intel
ligence Division, G-2, has suddenly become
important again to the average citizen. Ire
mendously important.
For it is G-2 that keeps the United States
Army abreast of the new techniques of war.
HisG-2's job to see to it that no new weapon,
no new method of attack, takes us by sur
prise 1t is G-2s job to foresee any eventuality
and make plans for it.
Last May an easy moving ex-artilleryman
slid his six-foot-two bulk behind polished
desk and assumed one of the largest headaches
in the Army. The headache is known officially
as the leadership of G-2 The new possessor of
it is Brigadier General Sherman Miles, soft
spoken soldier who has studied the game of
war since he was child. He is fifty-seven
now, and still studying.
The job is headache because, in peacetime.

it seize few spies and the cry ''Militaristic
persecution" goes up from certain cham

from scratch" In those days G-2 existed
chiefly in the Army manual
General Miles has been studying war too
long to believe he knows everything about it.
And his first act on taking over the new job
last May was to send out two S 0 calls
Both calls were answered From San Diego
came Major General Ralph Van Deman
from Ell Paso came Colonel A. B. Coke These
men, both retired, had had the responsibility
of rebuilding and expanding G-2 in the first
World War, when they took division that
amounted to practically nothing and built up
remarkably efficient military intelligence in
jigtime.
A Wor-poced Service
Now, twenty-odd years later, they came
back from retirement and pitched in with
Miles on the same job - the building up of
war paced military intelligence.
This time, as the General pointed out, they
didn't have to start quite from scratch.
Nov" said Miles, we have the help of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation - which is
most important Back in 1917 Van Deman
and Coke had only the Secret Service, which
concentrated its attention on guarding the
President and running down oounterfeiters."
And more important, CO now has a staff
of fifty-two military attaches and assistants
scattered over the globe, studying war meth

DDS. These are, as Miles sees it. the very heart
of CO - the eyes and ears of the Army.
In Brussels, in Berlin, in Paris, these
military attaches have been studying war in
the midst of war, where they can see precisely
the effects of dive-bombers on troops, the
strengths and weaknesses of tanks. where
they can see for themselves the effectiveness
and vulnerablity of bombers and parachute
troops, and all the other new mechanisms of
war.
Miles himself used to be one of these
military attaches and he knows the vital i'm
portance of the job they must do.
Back in the spring of 1912 General Leonard
Wood. seeming war in the Balkans, called
a lanky first lieutenant from Fort Meyer.
Virginia, and sent him over to Rumania.
Miles was then twenty nine. He was only
seven years out of West Point, but already
he had served with the llth Cavalry in Cuba
and had learned about big guns from the
Bird Field Artillery. He had been born into
the Army. His father was General Nelson A.
Miles. an old Indian fighter, and general-in-
chief from 1895 to 1903
In Bucharest, the lieutenant was called

was born. that title oonjured up picture of
dashing young social butterfly in a resplend-
ent uniform, whose main duties consisted of
attending important receptions and dances.
That conception" said Miles. lis under
standable In America a foreign military
attache has pretty soft job Usually, all he
has to do is to ask for the information he
wants, or buy published document
But over there as the lanky lieutenant dis
covered, things were different. The military
attache didn't have much time for receptions
He couldn't just step up to the local military
intelligence, and say he'd like, please, to see
the latest in the oOuntry's artillery. Over
there they we're funny about things like that;
they were very jealous of their military &C
complishments and rather secretive about
them The attaches credentials might be per
feet and respected, but that didn't mean
that the military officials would be pleased to
show him through their munitions factories
at any time.

Tricks of the Trode

Tricks Of the 1rode
i HE military attache in Europe had to be
a skilled observer. He was likely to see more
with his eyes than he was told He was likely
to discover that friendship with General
So-and-so would open doors not ordinarily
opened to foreign military observers. Or that
a friendship with munitions manufacturer
or plane builder would permit him to see a
lot of things not printed in the local military
journals.
Il learned lot of things from people who
had no military connection, is the way Gen
eral Miles put it.
He also learned great deal about different
soldiers and different ways of fighting in those
years in the Balkans. He moved from Ru-
mania to Bulgaria. was on duty with the
Bulgarian. then the Serbian and then the
Montenegro forces during the first Balkan
War He was with the Bulgarian army during
the second Balkan War
The first World War broke out and he went
to Petrograd to join the Russian forces as
observer. and to develop. incidentally, an
admiration for the tenacity of the Russian
soldier fighting in defense of his own soil,
soldiers hamstrung by lack of material. The
year 1917 found him training officers in San
Francisco; 1918 saw him. a lieutenant colonel
now, fighting at St. Mihiel and the Argonne.
Late in 1919 he went back to the Military
Intelligence Division.
He saw Military Intelligence change during
the World War - for the better
Before that war the primary qualification
of military attache abroad was his income.
Military attaches we're chosen only from
among those who had large private incomes,
so that they could live abroad in manner
befitting an American officer. The result was
that the attaches in those days might be top
notchers or they might be simply dubs
with private incomes aside from their Army
pay. That's how bad it was
1t would be nice to report that all this
has been changed, and that attaches are now
chosen strictly on merit. Unfortunately, this
isn't quite 50. In the Army everybody knows
that the officers private income still is taken
into consideration. 1t has to be, for in many
posts abroad an officer simply cannot live on
his pay and allowances But the allowances

LocoI Timber Goes
To Priest River Man

The u. S. Forest Service, on DC
tober IS, opened bids on timber on
Keller creek and sold it to E. c.
Olson of Priest River Idaho for
1891 per thousand. The bid of the
J. Neils Lumber company. $3.50 per
thousand, was refused due to the
fact that present legislation states
that such timber must be sold to
the highest bidder Due to the fact
that the highest bidder in this case
was financially in good shape and
has been operating for many years
and has proven himself to be a
successful operator, he was granted
the timber
The survey estimate shows about
80 million feet of saw logs and

To Provide Views
Of National Parks

Senator B. X. Wheeler recently
succeeded in getting a bill through
congress which reads, 1.-THE Sec
rotary of the Interior is authorized
and directed to have prepared mats
which may be used for the repro
duction in magazines and newspa-
pers of photographs of such of the
scenery in the national parks as, in
the opinion of the Secretary, would
be of interest to the people of the
United States and foreign nations. =
These mats are to be furnished with
out charge to the publishers of
newspapers and magazines. The
sum of $4,000 is appropriated for
the fiscal year ending June 30, l941,
to carry out the provisions of the
measure
Senator Wheeler says that prior
to the passage of this bill there was
no provision for furnishing this type
of illustration to the press and small
newspapers and magazines could
not reproduce scenes of our national
parks because of the cost involved.
The Senator says that with this
added publicity, travel to our ma
tional parks will be considerably
stimulated and the communities sur
rounding them greatly benefited !

been very disastrous had it not been
for the quick action of the Libby

An electric iron had been left on
and had created such heat that it
had burnt the linoleum on the floor
