Plattsburg and the various officers’ training ‘camps of the country turned out some excellent officers after a few months of intensive training. It is true that they lacked the fine points of the West Point finish, and that their book knowledge was limited; but many of them made good leaders of men in the ranks in emergency fighting. While few of the Plattsburg and other camps graduates were accomplished sol- diers like the ablest men of the Military Academy, an impres- gion that four years of training are not necessary to make an officer has taken deep root in the country. Therefore, any pro- posal to_cut down the course at West Point will be popular. Aside from this impression, are the old army officers right when they say that the curriculum at the academy should be extended through four years? It should not take as long to turn out an infantry officer, and the cavalry is not of great import- ance in modern warfare as it was condticted in France. The work of the engineer and artillery officers is technical, particu- larly that of the engineers, and in their cases a four years’ course would not seem to be too long. But service schools might provide the extra training. One thing is certain, four years will be a long time to give to the trainng of cadets at West Pont if the United States is to have a larger army than it maintained before the great war. When the complement was less than 100,000 the academy would not provide enough offi- cers. About 35 per cent were appointed from civil life or came from the ranks. If the new army, which must be stronger than the old for obvious reasons, is to have enough officers military academy accommodations must be increased or the course cut " down. Doubtless the general staff, being composed mainly of West Pointers, would like to see the old four-year course con- tinded, but it can’t be done unless more officers, a great many of them, are appointed from civil life or promoted from the ranks, a, prospect that would appall the old West Pointer. At the present time, as a result of experiences in'the war, National Guardsmen and National Army men find much to criti- cise in the West Point system and the disciplinarians it produces. The country may thank God that there were so many West Point officers in France, unpopular though some of them may have been in the American Expeditionary Forces. The army was forged into a wonderful organization, and it was largely due to the General Pershing and the West Point men, who may sometimes erred on the side of strictnesss. Loud have been the complaints that they were too stern, too severe, but their control and direction were salutary. It was no time, no place for easy- going methods. Perhaps Wes{ Pointers favored one another when it came to details and promotions, and Guardsmen and Plattsburg graduates sometimes felt that.they were victims of diserimination. In no War has West Point made a finer record for thoroughness and leadership. But West Point was not in- fallible, certainly it is not omniscent. . By requiring a harder entrance examination the course -cogld be cut to three years with advantage, in fact a stronyg argument could be made for a two years' intensive course, with - post-graduate instruction and training at the service schools. There is a call for less “pipeclay” and less seclusion at the military academy—in one word, for more democracy. During their four years’ term the cadets see about as little of the world as the inmates of a convent. When they gradpate they know little of human nature, and the only men they have handled are themselves.. Moreover, some of them are not the material of which good officers are made. The need of democ- ratization at West Point is now being generally urged. There year training at the academy to increase the supply of reserve officers. Congress will be asked to reorganize, make over, and expand the military academy. The reduction of the course to three years would be only a beginning. G e AN APPEALING STORY.

THe pacific bloek- .ade has apparently established Iitself as a legitimate means of coercing a weak power to, observe its interna- tional obligations without resorting to war for that purpose. It is a modern development and. has usually been the act of several powers acting in concert. It was first, employed in 1827, when the. combined fleets of Great Britain, France and Russia blockaded a por- tion of the Turkish coast.

Many promi- nent men, however, including su- preme court judges, mayors of our leading cities,” prominent state and county, officials, bankers, lawyers, dogtors, editors, leading “educators, government officials and even minis- ters of the Gospel have deemed it their duty to come forward and tell the people what Tanlac ‘has done for them.

It is a well-known fact that these sple] did endorsements have been given Tanlac time and time again and they. will continue to be given just as often as new tests of its powers are made; and it also explains why numbers of big drug firms of the country are or- dering it exclusively in carload lots.
