In the old-fashioned, double-strength American Army division, though it included artillery, engineers, signal- men, sometimes cavalry, quartermaster, medical, head- quarters and provost troops, infantry was prepond- ! erant. But when the Army was reorganized according to the Buropean pattern much of this preponderance seems somehow to have been lost, and the proportion of specialized or service troops much increased. The model which seems to have been generally followed in this reorganization was that of the German army, then still victorious and at the height of its prestige among professional soldiers. However, the German war machine, wonderful as it was, had, like the now-vanished Luftwaffe, one fatal defect. It was crganized in anticipation of a Blitzkrieg, that is, of a short and decisive war, not for a war of attrition ‘The present manpower muddle, as it affects both FRANKLIN DELANO ROO A era American and dawned on March 4, 1933, Roosevelt entered the White House. new in history politics Franklin Only the future will tell how great a man he was in the eyes of when Delano histery. This much is certain—as a leader he gained more popular support than any other chief executive of the United States, and there is no doubt but what many of his policies will remain throughout the years to come. As the leader of the greatest nation in the world for almost 13 years he attained international promin- ence that no other American has received. His death will be mourned throughout the world by the Allied Nations, and our enemies will take heart. Our enemies will find, however, that the United States is built not upon the leadership of one man.
