Even if the draft age is not lowered, and, although preparatory school graduates are urged to obtain all the education they can, yet it is very doubtful if more students will be enrolled than at present. As a matter of fact, a continuous decrease is indicated in many ways; the likelihood of younger draftees, the increasing economy of money, and the experience of foreign universities.

Then there is the problem of defence against the use of incendiary mixtures and the allied problem of their offensive employment, and again the problem of the production of clouds and their use. This matter has been taken up vigorously by American chemists and great advances made so that cloud production is being reduced to a science and a most effective instrument thus being added to the armory of America. These, as I have said, are examples taken at random from a vast field. Equally...
