OUR ARMY IN GERMANY
A complete '.utfit, n n.mature I
army equipped with all necessary!
services, capable of taking the field
at 24 hours’ notice without the as
sistance of any outside elements,
and one of the best military units
ever organize ! in the world's history
of armies--such is the description
that military men, allied, neutral
and former enemies apply to the
American Army of Occupation, as
it is constituted today, according to ,
a correspondent of The Associated |
Press, writing from Coblenz.
That the efficiency of the train-1
ing system of the American forces i
in Germany, the excellence of their j
equipment and their faultless mili-!
tary bearing are generally recog- J
nized throughout Europe is shown j
x by the fact that missions from a!
number of countries have either j
visited Coblenz during the past few j
months or have applied for permis-1
rion to visit the base and get a:
first hand knowledge of how it is'
done.
Recently the chief of staff of,
the Swiss army, accompanied by j
several officers, spent a week in
Coblenz as the guest of General
Allen, the American commander, at
tended inspections, visited the bar
lacks, reviewed the troops and re
turned to Berne to tr’i the officers
of the Swiss army that the American
on the Rhine was the “most up
to-date. the best equipped and the
best looking military outfit of all
the armies in the world."
A commission from the Nether
lands made a similar visit and was
equally favorably impressed and now'
the Finnish government has asked
permission to send a commission to >
Coblenz.
Should circumstances require the
American army on the Rhine to
move against an enemy or to occu
py further territory, 10,000 in
fantrymen composed of the First
and Second brigades would furnish
the bulk of the fighting force.
Their advance would be guarded
against surprises and ambush by
300 cavalry and 18 airplanes, which
would do the scouting before the
moving infantry. Three trained pi
lots are available for each plane
in case of airmen meeting with ac
cidents.
One thousand artillerymen, serv
ing eight bateries of field guns,
would be on hand to supply a bar
rage, should it become necessary.
Three hundred men of the Signal
Corps battalion would look after
telephone and telegraph communi
cations with the base at Coblenz.
The Railway Engineers battalion,
which is receiving constant practi
cal training on a little branclt line
on the right bank of the Rhine
which they are operating would,
with the assistance of the Motor
Transport corps, attend to the ser
vice of supplies of the expeditionary
force.
The Engineers First battalion
would throw pontoon bridges over
such streams as were traversed in
the advance. Six ambulance com
panies, assisted by a Medical corps
of 600, establishing field hospitals.
would first help to the wounded
before their evacuation to the base
hospital.
Only one arm used in modern
warfare is lacking—tanks. It is said
there are no “tanks” of any sort
in the American army.
There is a machine gun section
with every company, instead of one
to every battalion, as formerly.
Thus while the Army of Occupa
tion in Germany numbers just a
little more than h^lf the effectives
of one American division on a wai
footing, it is, never the less, a real
army in the fullest sense of the
term.
Of the several Outsiders whose
names have been mentioned in con
nection with the Alaska governor
ship, plain old Seth Bone sound:
best to us. He is not a colonel
at any rate.
Alaskans, it must be admitted
have found considerable diffieultj
reaching agreements on questions oi
political moment—but not more
difficulty than is being experiencei
at Washington in reaching an agree
ment on Alaskan policies.
It is to be hoped that Xenant
property owners will not need t'
be reminded frequently of the im
portance of putting their premise
in presentable appearance for sum
mer. Many residents have not wait
ed to be reminded but there an
some, as is alw'ays the case, wh<
have not yet heard the call o
spring—or perhaps have been toi
busy to heed it.

GERMANS ORGANIZE UNION
TO OPPOSE FUTURE WARS
PHILADELPHIA, May 17—Con
scientious objectors to war service
in Germany have formed a union
with more than 10,000 members,
each of whom is pledged to refuse
to take up arms, produce war mater
ial, give money or aid in any way
i in what they characterize as the
! "organized murder of subjects of
j other countries or of our own
countrymen."
This information comes from H.
H. Brinton, a member of the Society
of Friends from West Chester, Pa.,
who recently attended a public
meeting in Berlin, held under the
auspices of the “German Union of
Objectors to War Service.”
“I expected to find a dozen or
1 so long-haired persons sitting about
a table, and instead found a hall,
jammed to the doors with about
800 people, the air tense with sup
pressed enthusiasm,” said Brinton.
One of the speakers said the or
ganization was formed by German
war prisoners in England, after
they were permitted to return to
Germany.
A student who was a speaker at
the meeting, declared that there
was great need in the universities
for a spiritual awakening, since the
old military party was still strong
there and demanded revenge on
the enemy.
Another speaker said that the
Germans who had permitted them
selves to be driven into this war
had brains that were nothing but
soup poured into their heads by
others. “Militarism, mammonism,
egoism and all that goes with the
Wilhelm idea must disappear,” he
said.
Dr. Helene Stoecker, of the
Woman’s International League foT
Peace and Freedom, said that the
education supplied by the German
state is drill, not education. “In
stead of bringing hidden qualities
to the surface, it hammers lies ir.tj
the brain,” she declared. “If the
‘educated’ are taught only how te
exploit humanity, it Were bettei
that mankind remain as ignor,n1
as the Russian peasant ”
