The pursuit ships could not use bullets in their attack on the balloon because of the thickly populated sec- tion surrounding the field, but under the direction of Lieut. Frank O'D.

These two officers, for- merly on duty here and at Quantico, are taking pursuit training at Self- ridge Field. Lieut.

These five ships, all of the Maryland National Guard, flew one of the most beautiful formations ever seen at the field and on conclusion of their part in the program, they were congratulated by Maj.

ARMY SPRINGS UP AS NATION UNITES IN DEFENSE TEST (Continued from First Page.) ington’s admonition, “In time of peace prepare for war,” for his text: “What we had in mind was the muster system of the colonists, by which each individual had his part in the defense plan. The muster day of the present is based on exactly the same principle that Washington had in mind when he gave this solemn advice to his fellow countrymen. Un- fortunately, there has been no such change in world affairs as to make that advice unsound today. Under the circumstances in_which we find our- selves as a people and as a Nation, we should work and strive and hope for the best, but be ready to meet the worst successfully if it should be forced upon us. That is not mili- tarism—it is only common sense. “I wish to impress upon you that the whole system of national defense which Congress has established is wholly unfitted for aggression. It would be several months—nine at least—before we could make our new Army into a combat Army at full strength. “The very character of our Army, being composed only of citizens and mostly of civilians, makes it unmil- itaristic. We have actually broken down since the World War all sem- blance of a military class, if any ever existed. No Army in history has been so civilian in character or g0 much a part of the people.” Hits Penny-Wise Policy. Gen. Pershing dealt with the eco- nomic cost of inadequate prepared- ness: “In the light of history it is clearly our duty to support an adequate mili- tary establishment during peace, or else the next generation will have to pay the price that has always been paid for past neglect. It is sad in retrospect to realize that even while paying her war costs inherited from their fathers, no generation of Ameri- cans has been wise enough or un- selfish enough to provide against the wars that have fallen upon their sons. It has been said, and with truth, that the Government is a poor business manager. It is too often penny wise and pound foolish, and often only the political consideration of the moment seems to count. No better illustration is needed of this than the millions that must be paid in interest alone on our war debt during this fiscal year. to say nothing of the many more millions that will have to be paid on the debt itself. There can be no possible justification for saving a few millions a year on the Army during peace if in the end, as a consequence, we are forced to spend extra billions in an emergency to make up deficiencles. The differ ence in the cost between an adeguate and an inadequate system 1is not enough to warrant the risk. “It is the duty of every man and woman to study deeply this question of national security. There is but one voice that can determine the course to be pursued; one voice that can decide whether we shall follow the counsel of the fathers and the les- gons of our own experience; one voice that can give direction as to wise policies, and that voice is the voice of the people.” Hines Report on Army. Gen. Hines made his address in the form of a report as chief of staff to his millions of hearers on “the pres- ent status of our military defense plans.” He explained briefly the sys- tem set up since the war with the hope *of avoiding the delays, confu- ston and cost” of the 1917 mobiliza- tion, and added: “Tt can readily be seen that the expansion of our new Army will be large in an emergency—for it is small in size and a skeleton organization in form, consisting in the main of civillan soldiers, and is widely dis- persed over our entire country, in- cluding our overseas possessions. Only by practice can we make cer- tain that a mobilization of such an Army in an emergency will be success- ful. That is why we held the muster today. We need your help if our new system is to be practical, if it actually is to work in war. “The War Department has a very real and important national problem to solve. A satisfactory solution should make certain that either this Nation will have no war task at all or only a small one to perform. We can arrive at a satisfactory solution only if we have your assistance, not for one day, but throughout the year. The War Department can do no more than you will permit.- You are our employers and we, your soldiers, are your employes.” 547,000 IN SECOND CORPS. Results Expected to Compare Favor- ably With Last Year's.

Gen. Summerall expressed himself as highly gratified with the results of the test and commended the mayors and other officlals of the various cities that took part. . THIRD CORPS LAGS.
