...position be forced to depend for artillery preparation and support upon red flags waved from hilltops. Real artillerymen will be present with real guns, the opportunities for practice in liaison will be great,--but this is as far as the advantages run. Practically speaking, the actual gunners will mean no more to the infantry than did the red flags, unless, of course, they set up a real barrage, which would be quite out of the question. It is true that the simultaneous working of the two arms would be of untold practical benefit to those directing the maneuvers, but were...

It would mean a good deal of extra work to organize another committee to chase up these overdue contributions. Moreover, the University Y. M. C. A. representative, Arthur Beane, is kept continually busy, as is his secretary, by so many difficult tasks, that it is unfair to place him in the predicament...
