Declares Pershing Complained
of Their Inadequate Train

Special Cable to Eirning Public Ledger
,Copvrloht, int. by .Yoo Yorl Times Co.
The llagne, June 21. Felix Baumann,
writing In the Lokal Anzelgcr, tries to
conylnco his hearers of the Incom
petency of Amcrlian ofllceis He asserts
that eyen the Army and Xayy Journal
recently published a letter from Pershing
complaining of the inadequate training
of American ofllceis scit to Furope,
"who kneyv nothing of tactics and could
not lead their men Into action."
The paper siys that Colonel Kooseyelt
In his book on the .Spanish-American
yyarfarc sild that American odlcers were
not numerous enough tor modern war
fare. The failure of the American officers
In France, this paper siys, t.in be traced
to tho lack of real training. America
ban only one national military school,
West Point, which Is not nearly enough
to train the ofllceis needed This Presi
dent Madison recognised yylien he pro
posed to Congrets to establish tyyo more
military schools.
Tho neiyspaper ntldstliat yyhen West
I Point yyas established the Idea yyas more
for forming a corps of rcserye oftlcers
for the oyentuallty of war than for
training officers for the icgular army.
I It goes on:
"Pr3ident Washington knew that a
strong regular army yyould not meet
with the approyal of the people.
. ' The lack of trained and capable of
ficers runs like a red thread through
American history, Americans always
forget that oftlcers and men arc not
trained oyer night."

WORKMEN DIE OF STARVATION
AT THEIR WORK IN GERMANY
Dutch Tailor Tells of Horrible Conditions Among the Civil
Population Spain's Mysterious Malady

Special Cable' to Evening Public Ledger
Cot'jrtahl. MIS. by .Vein York Tlmei Co.
Tho llaguP. Jue 21.
"The mysterious sickness now pre
valent In Spain comci fioni Germany
and yylll doubtless hoou reach other
countries," said a Dutch tailor, who
recently returned fioni Germany.
"Conditions amone; tho clyll popu
lation of Germany are terrible. "Work
men die at their work from lack of
nourishment.
"If a yyorkman cuts or wounds him
self ho rarely recovers, as the wound
gets inflamed and swells to nn enor
mous sire. Water accumulates and
then spreads all oyer the body until
he dies. This yyater Is supposed to be
due to undcrnoutlshnicnt nnd to come
fiom the enormous quantity of tur
nips now- eaten by tlic Germans of all
cliscs.
"I, my yylfe nnd our thtco children,
once had nothing to cat but boiled
turnips yylth no fat for three dajs, nnd
yet, 1 had other than ordinary means
'of getting food, nnd yyas getting good
yyages. The yvoikmcn at lessen es
pecially are dylnp; by hundreds, al
though no one hears of It.
"The people are, of course, earning
ttemendous wages, and arc able to
saye, and this Is a compensation, but
there yylll not be much to be done In
Germany after the yyar, and I for one
yl not return. Inlying will be im
possible there, owing to the tremen
dous taxes, and everything yylll be
ersatz for a long time. I3cn at
ptescnt It Is Impossible to get under
yyear except that made of papci.
' People Are Powerless
The Goycrnment Is clcycr In con-
stantly telling the people that Germany
I was attacked and that Kngland yants to
I shatter the German Umpire, and this to
1 n yyorkman means taking ayyay his
.bread. This fallacy, yyhlch people of all
(classes firmly belieye, and the fact that
the people are poyycrless under the iron
heel and tyranny of militarism, yvhlch
Increases rather than decreases, has kept
the people from reyolt; besides, the peo
ple are sn apathetic from lack of nour-
Miment that there yylll neyci be a icyo-
lutlon.
"The soldiers at the front arc still well
fed. much better fed than tboe In bar
racks, hut eyen the latter are hctter fed
(than the Chilians. Belieye me, ye are i
namv orr in Holland, nut It is a pirauisc I
lomparcd to conditions In Germany. I
"People do not realize outlde of Ger
many yylnt this slavery to militarism Is
and hon poyyerlcss the people arc. A
I mm onlv becomes a human being yybn
I he becomes an odlcer, a German lleu
' tenant said, and this Is the spirit in Ger
many at present. The Geiman people
yylll, however, carry on the yxsr, because
they are powerless to resist the military
and because they believe they have been
nttackd
"Fear of an economic yyar Is fast gain
ing groilnd In Germany-, and the people
are being educated slowly and by" de
grees to the Idea that Germany has not
yet yyon the yyar In spite of the sacrifices
of the big offensive, and that the eco
nomic trumps are still In the hands of
Great Britain and America "
The Rhenish Gazette points out to i
Germans that the Anglo- Vmerlcan
world is still considering th defeat of
Germany in this var. This Idea appeals I
to be a surprise to the paper, which ar
gues that the Hntentc first hoped for .'
military victory with America's help.
German View of Keonomle War
"It is now slated on both sides of the
Atlantic," It says."that Anglo-America i

and
is a better Truck
Modern motor trucks are all more or less alike- No one has a corner
on the basic idea. No one has any revolutionary patents giving complete
supremacy, and although no two makes of trucks are exactly alike, they
are fundamentally the same. Now it narrows right down to a question
of quality power, efficiency,' durability, in other words design, materials
and manufacture plus good service.
, The materials: utilized in every
MASTER TRUCK are he best
that money can buy, a fact not oub
'Ject to discount and one we are
always glad to demonstrate.
The design of the MASTER
TRUCK is the direct outcome of
15 years of truck building experi
ence, looking always toward great
er efficiency.
We want to talk to you about your delivery, whether you oper
ate a truck or not. We'll show you some interesting facts and figures.

they could beat Germany thus, and
would cut, tnrott from all export and
Import trade, without yyhlch Germany
cannot exist." f
The paper quotes long extracts from
nnsyyers to a round robin of the German
Brazilian Trade Association on the
question whether Kngland nnd America
could cut off all trade from the Central
Powers and so defeat them. The ar

be financially ruined If unable to export
goods and raw materials, and that "to
blockade continental Kurope from world
communication nnd from foreign sources
of raw materials might end the war. but
in another way than Kngland and Amer
ica Imagine. Not Germany and her allies
would reap the consequences of this
blockade, but Kngland and America."
