shall, Germany would not have
dared to involve herself In a war
that would draw the United States

The Army chief of staff also told
the Academy of Political Science
last night that the invasion of North
Africa by an A. E. F. provided "a
most impressive example OF the
practical application Of unity Of
command
Calling for continuation OF Amer
ica's armed power after the war,
the general declared:
"We must take the nations OF
the world as they are, the human
passions and prejudices OF peo-
pies as they exist, and find some
way to secure for us free America
in a peaceful world"
Urges Unity Of Command.
Gen. Marshall said unity Of COM
mand dominated in the United Ma
tions' problems and that their re
markable success" in co-ordinating
efforts was to him the most heart
ening single factor of the war.
He asserted that within three
weeks after this country was drawn
into the conflict, the United States
and England organized a system
for combined action which still
served as "a working basis for the
strategical direction of our war ef-
forts, the ALLEGATION Of forces and
of material, and the coordination
of production of munitions
my particular interest at this
time in your affairs" he told the
academy, "rests on the fact that
after a war a democracy like ours
usually throws to the winds what
ever scientific approach has been
/ developed in the conduct OF the
war"
Postwar Readjustments.
He urged the group to consider
carefully military factors in studies
regarding "readjustments which
must follow this war;" and de-
manded:
How can we so establish our
selves that we will not be doomed
to a repetition OF the succession
of tragedies of the past 80 years."
The 1920 act he referred to
authorized a Regular Army of $780,
900 enlisted men and set up the Ma
tional Guard, the Organized Re-
serves and the Officers Reserve
Corps with specified maximum
strength. Congress did not appro-
pirate funds for all authorized

Treasurer Post
Goes To Dickson
I'm Vote Recount
Four-Vote Majority of Po-
ferl Wiped Out; Several
Ballots to be Reviewed.

A recount of the general election
ballots cast for county treasurer,
made this week under the jurisdic-
ton of the district court, wiped out
the four-vote majority held by James
Poferl, to give o. R. Dickson the lead
by the narrow margin of only two
votes. Several ballots, however, are
still in doubt and will be reviewed
Friday afternoon of this week by
Judge Alfred P. Stolberg who will
then announce the final result
Closest in History.
The contest, the closest recorded
in the history of Pine county politics,
has been in doubt since election day,
Dickson holding the edge in unof-
fetal returns, only to lose it when
an official check was made by the
Pine county canvassing board shortly
after all the votes were in. Poferl's
lead at that time was four votes.
Action was then begun by Dick
son for a recount by the district
court and all ballots were checked
and tabulated, the task being COM
pleted Monday. Many differences
were found between the official re-
count and that made by the town and
village on ELECTION day.
The differences were small, but
changed the results in favor of Dick
son.
