C. 65,000 to Drill in Biggest War Game Second Army to Set Up Base In Wisconsin. CHICAGO. — Speed, a dominant factor in modern warfare, will be emphasized next August when the Second army sends 85,000 regular troops and National Guardsmen into central Wisconsin for the biggest war maneuvers held in the Midwest since 1918. The troops will be equipped with 4,500 motor units and the war games wilf give thorough training in swift movements of troops and supplies. Lieut.-Gen. Stanley H. Ford, com* mander, indicated the type of train* ing that will be given the soldiers in his first training directive, which said “the maneuvers will provide mobilization training, movement of troops to and from the concentre* tion area, tactical operations and the organization and function of the various supply services in the Sec ond Army." The directive added that the troops will be given training in de fense against mechanized attack and protection of both the front and rear lines. This emphasis on speed and rear line defense is an indication of the lessons the American army is learn ing from Europe’s present war, in which Adolf Hitler’s fast-moving German troops have demonstrated the effectiveness of encircling move ments. The general headquarters will be set up at Camp McCoy, where they will be maintained during the course of the games that begin August 12 and close August 31. Included in the men participat ing in the maneuvers will be 20,000 regular troops. The National Guard will send 10,755 from Illinois, 9,212 from Ohio, 5,994 from Michigan, 5,184 from Wisconsin, 5,089 from In diana, 2,915 from Kentucky, and 2,098 from West Virginia. Lightning Plays a Game Of ‘Follow the Leader* SWAMPSCOTT, MASS.—A flash of lightning resembles a swift game of "follow the leader," G. D. Mo* Cann, an engineer of the Westing house Electric and Manufacturing company, said. Reporting that his company had undertaken research designed to protect electric power lines against lightning's damaging effects. Me Cum told the summer convention at the American Institute of Electrical Engineers that investigators had used a fast camera to get data on how lightning operates. He said a weak, almost invisible preliminary stroke, known as a lead er or pilot, picks its way haltingly through the air at toe "relatively slow speed of 100 miles per second." When the path to earth has thus been broken, he added, a full-fledged powerful stroke comes rf»»vgh>f along toe same route at nearly 20, 000 miles per second. On its heels comes another, and perhaps anoth er, at the same speed—the entire process lasting about a second, and constituting a single "flash." Wild -Animals of West Thrill CCC Boys of East BUTTE, MONT.—Wild animals in their native habitat provide eastern boys in Civilian Conservation Corps in Montana with some of their big gest thrills, according to L. M. Stew art, assistant Deer Lodge National forest supervisor. "Youth from New York and New Jersey at toe Flint Creek camp near Philipsburg have seen every kind of animal in the forest and they get a big thrill out of it,” Stewart said. Frequently toe camp foreman is called upon to identify animals and explain the difference in deer, elk and moose. "But they all know a bear when they see it,” Stewart said. NoysI School Teaching Rabbits How to Run! ABILENE, KAN.—George Kibler teaches wild Kansas jackrabbits to run for their lives. The jackrabbits are trained by Kibler to act as quarry for hounds in the National Coursing associa tion's races held each spring. Twice a day Kibler drives toe wild rabbits through the racing course, teaching them to run from chutes directly to the escapes at the for end of the park and to slip under them. Rabbits cost from 78 cents to $1 each and each one that foils to elude the hounds goes down in the loss column of the association's Invalid Law Student Fuiishes Cum Laude OMAHA.—Otto Splehagen of* fared a helping hand—literally— to his brother Herbert so that both could enter the legal profes sion. Herbert suffered from a rare malady that made him unable to walk. Five nights a week fbr four years Otto candid Herbert to the University of Omaha law school far their classes.
