Army and Its Work II—Regular Army’s Most Important Work Is Train- ing of Civi ian Forces. By Gen. John J. Pershing. (Editor’s note—Te following is the second of a series of six articles, writ- ten for the Associated Press, describ- ing "activities of the Army of the United States during the SumMer months of 1925.) The Regular Army has no more im- portant mission than the training of the civillan soldlers of our new citizen army. The Summer camps would be almost as futile without Regular Army officers and enlisted men as our schools would be without teach- ers and adminis- trators. The National De- fense Act of 1920 divided the Army of the United States, which it created, into three components — the Regular Army, National Guard and Organized Re- serves. Under our new defense plan the Regular Army is to expand in the event of a national emergency into at least nine Infantry divisions, for the purpose of checking the enemy with the least possible de- lay. The National Guard is to muster 18 divisions, for the purpose of rein- forcing the Regular Army and mak- ing certain that the enemy is held at his starting point. The Organized Re- serves are to expand during hostilities from a mere skeleton into 27 Infantry divisions, and more if need be, for the purpose of bringing our defense forces to such strength that the enemy will seek again the peace he disturbed Has Definite Tasks. However, the Regular Army must not confine its efforts during peace to perfecting itself alone. Our whole de- fense system would collapse in that event. Regular Army officers and men must work diligently to make certain that both the National Guard and the Organized Reserves will also be able to fulflil their defense missions in an emergency. Civillans of the high standard demanded by our plans are too busy to spare much time from their private business. In most in- stances they do not acquire sufficient technical military knowledge from their daily occupations to undertake the formation and perfection of their own military organizations and train- ing without assistance and guidance. The peace-time responsibility of the Regular Army, under the National Defense Act of 1920, is greater than it ever has been in our history. No similar standing army has peace-time responsibility that is even comparable with that of our Regular Army at present. Approximately 4,800 officers and 65,000 enlisted men of the Regular Army will actually be engaged this Summer in the training of the Na- tional Guard, the Organized Reserves, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and the Citizens’ Military Training Camps. Every Summer camp will have its N. PEESHING. Streets Are Being Cut But NOT the Trees IN Hedges & Middleton, Inc.

This means that the Regular Army will be spread out in a thin layer over the United States from the first of June until the first of October, as there will be camps in every State, except Mississippl, Tennessee and Ne- vada. March Great Distances. Many organizations have marched great distances to reach the organiza- tions they are to train. For example, a battalion of Infantry marched more than 260 miles frem Fort Snelling, Minn., to Des Moines, Towa. Engineer companies have been sent from Fort Humphreys, in Virginia, on the Poto- mac, to Camp Knox, In Kentucky, and to Camp Custer, in Michigan. Antiaircraft detachments have been sent from the Presidio of San Fran- cisco, on the Pacific coast, and from Fort Monroe, on the Atlantic coast, to Fort Sill, Okla., which s sit- uated almost in the center of our country. These instances are cited merely to {llustrate both the magni- tude of the Regular Army's Summer training job, and the Regular Army’s attempt to perform its civilian train- ing mission satisfactorily to all con- cerned. Much more of the Regular Army's time is devoted to the Natfonal Guard, Organized Reserves, Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and the citizens' mili- tary training camps than even this would indicate. Training programs and schedules for courses of instruc- tion have to be prepared during other than the Summer months of the year. More nearly one-half than one-third of the War Department’s time is de- voted to other activities and interests than those pertaining to the Regular Army alone. Loss of Time Is Handicap. As a matter of fact, so much effort has been put forth by some organiza- tions that«their own efficlency has suffered temporarily. The loss of the four Summer months is a serious hand- icap'to the Regular Army. This means that its units in the United States must accomplish in eight months more than it was necessary to lear in twelve months before the World War. The Fall, Winter and Spring are unfavor- able for extensive outdoor training. Of course, the Regular Army has been handicapped in gther ways. The barracks in which many of the regi- ments are stationed are a wartime construction and are falling to pleces. Much time has to be given to fatigue duty in keeping up repairs, instead of drill. No doubt in time money will be appropriated for sufficlent and more livable barracks.

The Regular Army, as its needs become known, will be increased at least to the mini- mum strength for jts proper function. The_excessive. work now required of the Regular Army is a temporary con- dition. ¥ J Every effort is- being made by the War Department to remedy our exist- ing situation. Under a new training schedule regiments will alternate in training civilians. This will give each organization one year out of two to devote to its own training. Regular Army posts are being substituted for our war-time cantonments for civillan training,. which will mean less dis- turbance and less moving for the Reg- ular Army. The immediate result will be increased efficiency and better in- struction for the civillan soldiers. Pupils are never much better than their teachers. pr Training Is Beneficial. On the other hand, the training of the clvillan components is proving helpful and beneficial to the Regular Army. Every officer and man has to work hard. They also have an op- portunity, during the Summer at least, to function with full commands. This means that they have some train- ing in the actual handling of ‘“war organizations.” In an emergency the Regular Army will have a much bet- ter conception of its job. There will be fewer mistaxes in the future. The Regular Army personnel will know how to handle the large mobilfzation, training and supply problems that an emergency would immediately bring. No work that the Regular Army has been called upon to do for our coun- | try is more important than the Sum- mer training that it is now giving to our civilian soldiers. From this will come many beneficial results to our country that are not even guessed at present. This work is as important, in my opinion, as the winning of the West, the bullding of the Panama Canai, the development of our rivers and harbors, the sanitation of Cuba, Porto Rico, Panama and the Philip pines, and other similar undertakings | which the Regular Army has perform ed so successfully in the past The Regular Army has every right at vresent to the confidence, support and aporeciation of our citizens. Its peace-time work has earned preferred treatment for it by our Government. Bishop’s Appointment Gazetted.

Main 378 in J ATTACK ON GERMANOS TAKEN UP WITH TURKS In Friendly Note, Greece Asks Pun- ishment of Persons Who Assault- ed the Metropolitan. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 14.—An agency dis- patch from Athens says the Greek government has sent a friendly note to the Turkish legation asking the Turkish government to punish per- sons_responsible’ for mistreating the Greek metropolitan Germanos of Sardis. Dispatches yesterday said the metropolitan had been roughly han- dled by attackers at Constantinople, who cut off his hair and beard. Messages from Saloniki say the as- sault has aroused more Greek feeling there than in Athens, and police are protecting the Salonik Tiurkish le. gation. In the Greek capital the indignation at first manifested has been some- what mitigated by news that the pre. fect of Constantinople has expressed to the Greek patriarchate the regret of the Turkish authorities at the fn- cldent. The attack upon the metropolitan Germanos is said to have been in spired by rivalries in the election of a new ecumenical patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church to succeed | the patriarch Constantinos, who was | expelled from Constantinople in Jan- | ULY 14, 1925 uary.
