MANN. (Copyright, 1920, by The Washington Star.) Washington, July 13.--"Nover too old to leajp'' is' 'an adage' of long standing, but only recently has the United States government taken the position that neither age nor expe rience disqualified an army officer from adding to his military knowl edge, and the graduation of eighty -six officers from the general staff ollege in Washington marked the first step in one of the greats t edu cational projects the country ever saw. Of the "graduating class" twenty five were men who served' as brie .dier generals- or moior generalr during the war with Germany, and ir.ost of the others served as division chiefs .of staff or held positions of similar importance. Next September another class of scarcely less disin uuished " officers will be organized and will apply themselves diligently to books and maps and ' problems all winter in order to qualify for their diplomas next . June. The general staff of . the army v Washington is limited under the new law to 88 officers, and in time all of these will be picked from graduates from the General Staff College which was formerly knowp as the War College. ' liiere ? are three -thools throueh which an officer must ass to qualify for a place on the general staff. The first is the "school of the line as the service school, ire termed' where he is taught the i fundamentals of troop leading, the jandling of units the size, of a resr- iment and smaller. From the graduates of the service chool are picked the students whe nay attend trie Army srarc uouer at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Here the officer lias a yeais schoc-linir in rroblems affecting a brigade di vision. He is tauent now to auan?:' is transportation of food, men an ammunition, to establish and mam ain communication under all condi tions that might arise in the field Graduhtion from this school, qual- fies him for appointment as an army staff office, such as a division chief of staff or one of three aides whe serve with such a chief. What They Learn. From the graduates of the Army Staff College are chosen the officer? who may attend the General Staff CoHeee. the .most advanced course ir. the training of an officer. In thu- atter college they learn the national problems of offensive apd defensive warfare. - Questions such as the re organization "of th nation s industry on a war basis are taken - up. the raining of civilian personnel or the procurement of raw supplies. lne nilitary resources.! defenses and the strategic position of every country . . , , - -1 i 1 J J u on tne glooe are svuaiea aim uiwj- ems that would arise1 in the event of hostlities with this nation arc worked out to the last detail. When an officer has finished ' all hese courses it is expected that he will be in a position to flirect the mi n . 2.- .iXV army of America m ine mosi em- cient manner possiole. whetner tnf oroblem be one of war-or peace. Not all of the officers now being selected for duty on the reorganized general staff are graduated of the General Staff College, but as the older officers retire the new start officers must come from that? insti tution. The law is that officers who since April 6, 1917. have commanded division or hisrher tactical unit, or by actual service in the world war have demonstrated tiiat they are qualified for general staff duty, may be appointed. ........ Pershing Among Anem. A board of six officers is now goiner over the list of eligibles and select ins therefrom eighty-eight names. which they will recommend to the secretary of war for appointment which list it is generally understood will be changed little or not at all by the secretary. This board in cludes General John J. Pershing. Maj. Gen. J. W. McAndrew, Mai Gen. S. D. Sturgis. Brig. Gen. C. H. Muir. Brier. Gen. F. T. Hines, and Col. , Kenvpn A. Joyce. Heretofore there has been no limit on the number of srenral staff on cers that might be atmointed. and during the war the number was Swelled to some two hundred. Now the number on the general staff is fixed bv law. but the staff with troons- may be increased indefinitelv as tfik ize of the .army is increased- The law makes provision fcr staff officers' to swerve with armies, army corps, divisions and brigades. . In addressing the first graduatinr class of the General Staff College General Pershing quoted Washing ton as saying: "To remark to a mil itary ma? how all important the general staff of an army is to its well-being, and how essential conse quently to the conimander-rn-chief seems' unnecessary." Continuing General Pershing said: . "In the light of experience I de clare without hesitation that but f or the training in general staff duties given our officers at the service schools at Jipme before the war, and in France during the war., our suc cessful handling of great masses of partially trained, troops in operations whild at the same time providing MEQGHBP 13, 1920 By the .

Brooks, of Blowing Rock, has' been convicted in; five cases for failure to report births as required by the state vital statistics law. In the first case a fine of $5 was imposed, and in the four succeeding casos a fine of $10 in each instance was imposed, making a total of $45 dollars m ad dition to the court costs. " The law requires the prompt re porting on bath births and deaths. The attention of Dr. Brooks was called to the fact that he had failed to file the. necessary; Sbirth certm- cates in these cases, but no response v. as received by the state vital sta tistics registrar. The prosecution followed. . ; ; . . . Dr. Brooks is, ne of the ' most I prominent physicians in the state. a man who has.Dlaved fi Ieadn Irsrt in. the state medical society. H was formerly superintendent of Uie health department. .Commenting on this and other ra cenf. prosecutions instigated by the state board of health. Dr. W. . Eankin. state health officer, said: "The Law with regard to the ac curate keqping of vital statistics and the prompt reporting of contagious diseases are fundamental in health work. Their enforcement is a duty imposed upon the state board of health, and the board intends to oon tinue its policy of making prosecu tions when other methods . of secur ing compliance with the law fails. In this the boarsd is no respecter of persons. While there is no personal feeling attached to any of 'the cases which are brought into court by this department, at the sam time more rood is accomplished through the conviction tof some prominent citi zen who is " a leader in hi comma nity or section of the stete than in the cate of a more, humble defend ant. The whole purpose of-the tfeos ecutions brought" by this department is to give warninar etid thereby 4 deter others f rem violations of the law.
