Our Warfare
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Columnist
WAR IS being individualized,
omewhat as it used to be in olden
days, when personal prowess coun
bA mow than it has in the last
few generations of fighting at long
range, with opposing lorces ai-
tyrpt.hpr too far aDart to see the
whites of one another's eyes or
Jab and hash each other up with
spears and broadswords.
Aviation and tanks have had a
in in An tnwnrd effecting the tran
sition backward, in the direction of
armed strife's earlier styles. An
airman naturally has to operate
pretty independently, in action
against the foe, and tanks aren't
very numerously manned per tank,
either.
At sea big war craft, like cruis
ers and battleships, carry sizable
crews, but naval experts are begin
ning to hint at a suspicion that the
utility of these larger vessels is
declining, partly due to the plane's
development, but due also to the
activities of submarines and of
lively little destroyers on the
ocean's surface. Of course even a
destroyer or a sub carries a more
considerable personnel than a
plane, but nothing to compare with
the number that battleships and
cruisers tote. Yet it's noticeable
that most of the current war's re
ported sinkings of transports, plane
carriers and merchant shipping
have been attributed, not to the
bigger fighting boats, but to flyers,
pewee destroyers and subs. Indeed,
some of the naval leviathans have
fallen victims to the mosquitoes
overhead and roundabout and to
the minnows underneath.
It likewise is observable that,
when U-boats are troublesome off
shore or along soma sea lane still
farther off, cruisers and battleships
aren't dispatched to dispose of 'em;
no, the job's assigned to midgets in
the destroyer class.'
They'll Be Tough
Naturally soldiers always have
been trained with a view to mak
ing 'em physically tough but, dur
ing the era of long-range hostili
ties, it wasn't considered necessary
to educate 'em for hand-to-hand
encounters, : because they very sel
dom occurred.
The other day, though, Navy
Secretary Prank Knox announced
the initiation of a course of in
struction, for his department's avi
ators, which will include their
preparation for rough-and-tumble
scrapping wrestling, slugging,
gouging, even biting in an emer
gency. These boys will need such
accomplishments, it's explained, as
they come down in parachutes, for
example, right in their enemies'
midsts.
Frank says he intends to gradu
ate 30,000 of this type of com
batants yearly. '
Now, that just goes to show to
what an extent, as previously re
marked, the art of Warfare is being
individualized.
Frank's bunch will be concen
trated on until they'll be readv tn
go it alone, each, like knights of
yore. It's going to be so intensive
that he reckons he can handle onlv
30,000 of 'em at a time. Thirty
thousands is a sizable staff of avi
ators, but it isn't so huge a figure
contrasted with the 7,000,000 mere
ly ordinary, old-fashioned troops,
mentioned by war Secretary Henry
L. Stimson as his goal.
Frank will have only 300,000 of
'em if he keeps it up for ten years,
and 800,000 isn't so vast an aggre
gation alongside of 7,000,000, ex
pressed - in purely arithmetical
terms. : . . .
But oh, what .personal wildcats
this crowd of Frank Knox's will be!
?. Ancient and Modern :
ItH be a reversion to the middle
ages, with modern improvements,
Strictly up to date.
One lone knight, in armor, with
his lance couched and hollering his
battle cry, could dash, on horse
back, into two or three recrimpnta
of common kerns and put the whole
uuxnr. to route in short order.
One of Frank Knox's graduates,
in a ulane's eoplcnit
obsolete saddle, on some Dobbin's
rump, win swoop down out of the
blue, scattering bombs in every di
rection into a hordfl of Mni Jot..
or Facists, scratch, kick and bite
em, and, as they streak it, take
possession oi the entire field.
.The course of training is ached
Tiled to OCCUDy a vear ner ranji
date. At the year's end another
30,000 will be inducted and the pro
gram Will be contirmoH oD
wujj as
the war lasts. Maybe it will become
permanency then. It will be a
formidable corps to have on hand
lor the benefit of rtiitA
wars. We thought, the last time,
woman t nave any more,
bilt not many folk are so optimistic
ww. secretary Knox has it all
woritea out.
