16 WEEKS LONG ENOUGH

Former Cavalryman, Now Attor
ney Here, Advocates Drill in
Uniform at Once
Men can be licked into fighting shape In
sixteen weeks.
Put uniforms on them! Keep them on
them ! Tho civilian frame of mind Is shed
with the civilian clothes and atmo?phero
Is half the batle. Uniformity breeds dis
cipline and discipline la tho other half.
Let a regular army man do tho training!
A lunteer finds It hard to fuso his Iden
tity as a man Into the unit of a troop when
the man who does the training has not had
much more cxperienco than ho has had.
The man who makes these statements. II.
R. "Wright, advertising and renl estate man,
with offices In tho Drexel Building, was
licked Into shape In this amount of time by
lust these processes In 1885, In the Jefferson
Barracks, Missouri. He joined the trcop
of Brigadier General James Parker, U. S. A.,
at that time first lieutenant on the field and
participated In the famous Indian guerrilla
warfare known as the Geronlma campaign.
T!ie campaign was successful.
Six months has been considered the
minimum time for the training of volun
teers for the first line of battle. This rat
ing. Mr. Wright says, Is based on the tirne
It has taken to drill National Guardsmen
by the old half civilian, half soldier
method.
"Things cannot be this way now," Mr.
Wright declares, "there Is something to
fight for. Tell them what thcy'ro fighting
for. Tell It to them so strongly that there's
nothing on God's earth can make them
break a rule cf training
"Give me a number of men physically
fit and I will guarantee to turn them out as
first class flgntlng men, foot or. horse, In
sixteen weeks' time.
"I am a hearty believer In conscription
and universal military training. Tho argu
ment brought up against the latter that
It will Introduce a spirit of militarism In
the United Statc3 Is false. France Is not
a vIctlM of militarism. Neither is Switzer
land firmly believe that Switzerland's
army u 500,000 is the only thing that
stands between that country's well-being
and German invasion."
Mr. Wright is not alone In his bellet that
six months of intensive training is not
necessary for tho turning out of funda

French Forced Foe to Accept
Battle on Ground They
Had Chosen
REPEAT MARNE MOVE
Constant Forward Movement
Chief Feature of Great
Offensive
By HENRY WOOD
WITH THi: FIIKNCH ARMIKS IN THH
FIKLD, April 21.
Tho French out-Hlndcnburged Illnden
burg In their great offensive.
It Is possible today for the first time to
reveal somo of the strategy which to dale
has swept llic French forces on In their
greatest vletoiy In general offensive since
tho war began,
It was the same strategic superiority that
enabled the French to fnrro tho Germans'
ncceptnnce of the ground previously chosen
by the French as tho site of the Ilattlo of
the Marne In the same fashion tho French
forced the Germans to accept the site nf the
present battle of tho Alsne. on ground
carefully selected by the French strategists
from SolsHotis to Auberlxe.
Illndenburg's "strategic retreat" was for
the (purpose of forcing the French to accept
battlo on ground which the German staff
had chosen before the Hlndenhurg line.
That strategy has now failed. The French
did not choose the Illudenburg line ft he
main point of their offensive.
Likewise, all the wanton destruction In
the pathway of the iicrmnn retreat nil the
razing of trees, farms and villages dono to
Intel fere with tho Allies' advance, Ins now
proved utterly useless as a military step
and completely unjustifiable
The battle of the Alsno Is now In Its sixth
day. It will likely continue for weeks be
fore a decisive moment Is reached, accord
ing to the general impression nmong strat
egists nt the front.

Information obtainable) here at the front
today was that theso 'divisions ifre likely to'
undergo modifications, with the possibility
always of a great extension of the front.
Today tho battle Is raging everywhere
along the three divisions with Incredible
"ury. Tho great struggle subdivides, Itself
Into numerous smaller engagements. They
may seem meaningless little or big clashes.
but every one of them tends to a common
objective fixed long beforehand,
Scarcely nn hour of the day or night does
not witness at some point cither an attack
or the repulse of a counter-attack. They
aro nlways Indicated by a sudden rise to
terrific Intensity of tho ceaseless artillery
roll along fronts of one, two, thrco or more
miles.
Although these battles aro furious In
their Intensity, only the nrtlllery Is usually
visible as the Blgn of the conflict, becauso
the Infantry fights Its way forward under,
tho cover of forests, ravines nnd valleys,
or slips through former German trenches.
The ability of tho French to bombhrd
without limit any point, at any time, la
what permits the absolute certainty of an
advance. Such a concentration of fire as
the French pour In where they want It
completely wipes out every defensive de
loo known to German genius or con
structed by German laboi since 1914.
Hut If tho nctual lighting battle front
docs not reveal the presence of troops, Im
mediately to tho rear there Is everywhere
visible a titanic concentration of men, mu
nitions and material. The valleys, woods
and ravines nro filled with cavalry. In.
fantry, hitched batteries, munition trains,
automobiles, trucks, cannon nil cither ad
vancing or nwalting the word to dash to
the front. There Is a forward movement
