GREEKS BLAMED FOR BATTLE OF LUDLOW slenver. Absolute responsibility for the fntal battle of Ludlow, Monday, April 20, was placed on the Greeks of the strikers' colony nt Ludlow by the military board of the Colorado Na tional Uoard. None of the strikers testified at the inquiry, their attorney declining to give any Information on the ground thnt the Inquiry was not publicly con ducted. The board found that the "remote" cause of this, as well as all other bat tles, lies with the coal operators, who established In an American Industrial community a numerous class of Igno rant, lawless and savage South Eu ropean peasants. The underlying cause was the presence, near Ludlow, In dally contact, of three discordant elements strikers, soldiers and mine guards nil armed and fostering an In creasing deadly hatred The Immediate cause of the battle was an Attack upon the soldiers by the Greek Inhabitants of the tent colony who misinterpreted h movement of troops on a neighboring hill.

Wood. ADVOCATES SUMMER CAMPS New Hnven, Conn. Just oerore the outbreak of the wsr with Mexico Gen erul Wood, couitnnndlng general of the army, asserted tbnt the United States needed a lurge reserve nnny, not for war. but to prevent war. General Wood originated the Idea of students' cniups of military Instruc tion, nnd he wns working up enthusiasm among collegians for the four cunips which will lie held this summer. He holds they will do much to develop offi cers for a volunteer anny If needed. "There Is a good reason for these enmps," he'snld In addressing the Ynle students "The United States, always s great power, has recently Iwcome a world power In the broadest sense of the term. All sorts of now responsibil ities are confronting us. We in the army do not believe In a large standing army, but we are all of us believers la s well prepared people Itcllevcrs in that preparedness docs not mean war, but thnt It means avoidance of war. We know that arbltrntlon Is very effective. Every soldier works for ar nitration. Just as every life saver on the beach works for any apparatus or device which will minimize the risk of liiitlicr He Is not goiuu to shirk his duty to go Into the storm when It comes, but be Is going to try to avoid all unnecessary losa of life. "We men responsible for the military preparedness of the country aud I menu preparedness In the technical sense- are doing si 11 we cuu to get the country ready. We know perfectly well that Hie regular army Is ouly a drop In the bucket and that when the uillltln Is milled you get but a slightly larger drop. Consider that In the civil war there were more than 2.01)0,000 men In the army of the north ami more than I .oou.ooo in the army of the south and then you will realise that our call for 500.IMX) competent men Is mot n Slips: estimate. "We don't want u large standing arm), but we want to see this idea worked out us In Swltserlnnd, where the bulk of the pie have bad a mili tary training without Interfering with their economic or professional lives. This sums up what we want to do. No nation has ever lived which allowed other people to do Its work or Its tight lug. It Is all right to talk about arbi tration, but there are certulu vital questlous which can never be arbi trated. They must be fought out "lu this cotititiy we must look to our volunteers In time of war. The great bulk of our fighting force comes from the people themselves. First comes the regular army, then the mllltla. but the greatest numbers and strength are from the volunteer forces. We can't take officers from the regular army and from the mllltla to direct these great numbers We must Instruct u volunteer officers' force lu times of euce. "In these summer camps we will learn something not only of military art. but or military history You learn something of military reserves.

Two well organised forces meet, and the superiority Is soon decided "We look to yoiiiit' men all over the country to get straight Ideas. Now. don't confuse with this Idea auy thought of militarism, for that to us melius a large standini; army, some thing which we do not want.
