In addition, to keep the "Chief" posted on national and world affairs, the Stanford War Library, which Trustee Hoover helped to endow, is required to send in a daily report on the mutations of Fascism, Communism and the New Deal, all equally horrendous to Mr. Hoover. Furthermore, any member of the Stanford faculty who has returned from an Eastern trip may expect within a few hours an invitation to dine with the Hoovers that night. All this...

Its military use is today largely confined to fortress warfare, large flocks being maintained at the inland strongholds of Germany, France, Russia. Of late in the U.
