The greatest value of this military training is to the officers rather than the enlisted nwn, giving them experience in handling large bodies of troops. The education of regular army officers as well as of the guard in the handling of tanks and motorized field artillery and the transportation of infantry by trucks instead of on foot is one of the most valuable features of such maneuvers. Everybody concerned will get a clearer picture of the use of air planes in combat, and their terrific power a^ a weapon of offense. From all I hear from my military friends, a new understanding of what air planes can do has been wrought home to army men by recent events in Europe. One of the great values of such military exercises, spread over great areas, is that they arous^ new inter est in the army among people who have seldom or never seen a body of men in uniform. They help to demonstrate what national defense implies.^ CONSCRIPTION — Revived In my boyhood almost every youngster wanted to get into a mili tary uniform and caryy a gun or a sword. The tradition was strong of a volunteer army. Men whb had been drafted in the war between the states were held in low esteem. Those who took the bonus of $300 for volunteer ing ^were not regarded as patriots. So when the ^ited States went to war with Spam nobody, thought of adding to the regular forces by any method than by calling for volvm- teers. When we got into the World war Gen. William Crozier head\ of the Army War College had a plan for a “selective service” draft which was adopted. Our World war army, however, consisted-of ratv reeToHs,'wiost—of whom had never fired a gun. It took months to train them. Now the pro posal has been revived for the con scription of every; man of fighting Ins MCDtCTEO^TtWr iitl CS THE tgxniM WiU ae iviAOE PROM MATRRli^ .

Though they are politically as far apart as tKe poles, the two ladies are warm personal friends. When I first knew Alice Rooseveit she was a long-legged girl of four teen, very much bent on having her own way. She has had it, most of the time. I knew her husband, “Nick” Longworth, very well. More than once I have heard him say: “Fll have to ask Alice,” before committing himself on some proposal. He had a high respect for his wife’s political judgment. $ Most folk have forgotten that Alice Roosevelt was “Teddy’s” daughter by his first wife. She was Alice Lee, of an old Boston family, whom he met while a student at Harvard. Both “Teddy’s” wife and his mother died within a week after Alice’s birth. He retired to his ranch in Montana, in tending to follow a literary career, but was called back to run for mayor of New York. , more or less, and bounded on *“7 north by Phillips street, on the-east, s«ne to be appbed by Shanda str^t, on the south by"?

BaoM asgtilar anny CHANGES-^Many What started me on these incon sequential reminiscences was tee re alization that on June 11th I will reach my 70th birthday. In these three-score years and ten I have seen many changes, but human nature is the same as it was in 1870 and for ten thousand years before. In my lifetime I have seen many new inventions come into use to make living easier and speed up its pace. The telephone, > the motion pic ture, the airplane, .radio, mechanjeal refrigeration, tee automobile, the typewriter, tee phonograite, tee elec tric light and the electric motor, the dry-plate camera and its progeny, the film canjera, the typesetting madbine, the half-tone process of printing pic tured, the bicycle—those are a few of tee things that are so new that 1 can remember when they were first introduced. If so many changes, affecting cv- erybodjr’s way of living, can come about in the kpan of one man’s life, who can predict what may occur it another 70 years In teousands of laboratories brilliant raseardiers are working on {urojects none of us havai heard of, which may, and probablyt will, make’tea world of 2010 mtirally different from any of our dreami la 194<f.
