MONROE. N. c., Dec IA new
realism in the Army, both for COM
manders and the men who do the
shooting, is the keynote Of the
Nations 1912 training program.
Within the first four months Of
the new year all artillery units are
to shoot over troops with live
shells and all infantry is to be shot
over" 1t: Gen. Lesley J. McNair,
chief of staff of Army general head
quarters, says. There will be ade-
quate safeguards. of course. The
Army seeks TO aCcuStom artillery
men to firing over troops and others
TO advancing under shells.
Gen. McNair made the statement
at a press conference following his
final meeting yesterday with high
officers of the 100000 troops await
ing return 10 home stations after
two weeks of simulated warfare
between the 1St Army and the
4th Army Corps in the Carolinas.
Gen McNair said next years

lated in detail-will begin by going
clear back to fundamentals and
starting over on a high plane" The
program. he added, will aim at a
standard We must have if We are
to go up against the Germans"
Training in the World War went
no further than the division and
even that was none too thorough,
due TO circumstances beyond our
control. There were cases of SOL

rather than weeks or months. before
To-day our men are being and

individual chances of surviving war.

prospects of American success"
The great lessons of the Carolina
exercises just closed were gained
from maneuvers of the armored
force two divisions against the
unusual concentration of special
anti-tank units with the 1st Army,
