TOE THINKS U.S. ARMY BETTER PREPARED March Says Military Forces Are Now at Highest Peak of Efficiency Weshington, Mar. 23.—(?)—The army’s world war chief of staff, hope- ful this country never again will be involved in such a conflict, believes it is better prepared now than ever be- fore for a clash of arms. Gen. Peyton C. March, 72, retired, expressed: this opinion Tuesday. Few men have been afforded backgrounds for passing judgment equal to his ser- vice in the Spanish and World wars.. “Our army and navy are at the highest point of efficiency they have ‘been in my time,” he said. Plans for mobilization of resources in the files of the war and navy de- partments constitute another reason for his viewpoint, but aside from these General March said he considered of teat importance the present congress. “There are ex-service men, some former officers, in the house and senate,” he said. “They don’t want war, but they realize what war is and the necessity for speedy action, We ‘would not be in the position we were when we declared wer on Germany. Can you realize it took congress 45 days to enact the draft law?” March said the technical equip- ment of the army is, as far as is known, the equal of any nation’s. “Of course,” he added, “you can never tell what the other fellow has up his sleeves, Every war has brought out new weapons” Scout Heads Commend Bismarck Cage Team A resolution commending “the members of the Bismarck basketball aquad and their coach, Glenn Hanna, on their achievement as outstanding athletes and for their display of true | hing. American sportsmanship” was adopt- ed by approximately 30 Boys Scout leaders, who gathered Monday night for. meeting of the Bismarck dis- tekct. “We feel that as Scouts you have carried out the principles of Scouting and have set standards of character and sportsmanship that will stand for years in Bismarck. We are proud of the fact that you fellows are former leaders in our troops,” the resolution continued.
