Our Own Fighting Doctrine.
A k! m I In r hi 1 1 1 1 1 1 e was ailopled In
August, HUT, for our armies. In which
the Importance of teaching through
out our force a sound lighting doc
trine of our own was emphasized. It
provided for troop trnlnlng In all milts
up to Include divisions. Corps cen
ters of Instruction for noncommission
ed olllii'is and unit commanders of
all amis were established. The army
and corps schools grndunied 21..i;tfl
noncommissioned officers and 13.016
officers.
Pending the organization and devel
opment of our own schools, a large
number of our officers were sent tn
renters of Instruction of the allied
armies. The training of our earlier
divisions was begun In clow associ
ation with the li'reiich divisions, under
conditions set forth In Hie following
paragraph on divisional training:
"Trench warfare naturally given
prominence to the defensive as op
posed lo the offensive. To guard
II pn I list till, Hie basis of Instruction
should lie essentially the offensive
bolh In spirit and In practice. The
defensive Is accepted only to prepare
for future offensive."
The long period of trench warfare
had so Impressed Itself upon the
French Bnd British that they Inid al
most entirely dispensed with training
for open warfare. It was to avoid
this result In our army and to encour
age the offensive spirit that the fol
lowing was published In October, 1017:
"The above methods to be employed
muit remain or become distinctly our

Thn Prlnevllle Athletic Club team
consisting of four men, defeated the
town team In a spirited contest on the

Unfortunately many divisions did
not receive the requisite amount of
systematic training before leaving the
states and complete preparation of
such units for battle was thus ofter.
seriously delayed.
In order to hinder the enemy's con
quest of Russia and, If possible, pre
vent a Gcrinnn attack on Italy, or in
the Near East, the allies sought to
maintain the offensive on the western
front ag far as their diminished
strength nnd morale would permit.
Notwithstanding these allied attacks
nn the western front, the Immense
gains by the (ierman armies In the
east, culminating at Riga on Sept. 3,
precipitated the collapse of Russia.
The following months, the Austrlans
with German assistance surprised the
Italians and broke through the lines at
Cnporettn, driving the Italian armies
back to the Plave river. Indicting a loss
of 300.000 men, 600.(KX rifles. 8,000
guns, and enormous stores. This seri
ous crisis compelled the withdrawal of
ten French nnd llrltlsh divisions from
the western front tn Italy. The Ger
man situation on all other theaters wns
so favorable that as early as Novem
ber they begun the movement of divi
sions toward the western front. If
needed, her divisions could lie with
drawn from the Italian front before
the French and British dared recall
Ihoir divisions. '
At flrst the allies could hardly hope
for a large American army. Marshal
.loll're during his visit to America had
niaile special request that a combat
division be sent at once to Europe as
visual evidence of our purpose to par
ticipate actively In the war, and also
asked for engineer regiments and other

TOM SMIL
TO LECTURE HERE
There are many war lecturers.
There is but one Tom Skeyhlll. Of
him the Into Col. Roosevelt said: "I
am prouder to be on the stage with
Tom Skeyhlll than any other man I
know."
New York society paid a million
dollars a minute to hear him on the
night of October 9, 1918, when, at
what the New York Tribune teimed
"the greatest demonst ation In the
history of any war loan in any na
tion," ho single-handed rn i d the
unprecedented sum of $23,7.r0,000
In twenty-three mitunes.
When Great Brltaiin declared war
on Germany In August, 1,914, young
Skeyhlll, then but elfchte"n years of
age, threw down his pen and enlisted.
With his Australian comrades he
traveled 15,000 miles to the ha.t'e
flelds of Europe, fought through
many of the bloodlost struggles of
the war, was twloe desperately
wounded and was invalided home,
bayoneted, blind ,and helpless. He
lived for two years In tolal blindness,
came to America In that condition,
and had his sight miraculously res
tored by American surgeons.
As a soldier be had more hair
breadth escapes from death and has
undergone more thrilling experiences

8. P. & 8. LE.VIM4 COOPERATION
i Trunk l ines. Through Joe Hardy,
i loes Flue Work for Farmers
In these times of poor transport
ation service, due to tre railroad,
lines recovering from the crush of T"
war service and government red tape,
it is indeed refreshing and a ray of
bright light on the horion to find
that at least one of the rail lines has
survived the ordeal, and s able and
willing to deliver rel service in
times of necessity.
A little incident came to light this
week that is worthy of (special men
tion. A new gate, for the outlet at the
Ochoco dam, was t:e es8 try before
the dam could be filled with water.
The gate was ordered in the fall from
the specialists In this kind of machin
ery, whose plant is situated at New
bureh New York.
The gate machinery was shipped
from the plant in November and waa
in the traffic tie up In the middle
west when the big storm came.
When the snows melted, everyone
knew that a flood might follow, and
every effort was made to get the ship
ment, less than a carlsad, onto the
works at the dam.
It was loaded on a side track in
deep snow, at Benge Washington,
near Spokane, with 200 other leaded
cars.
The entire lot was mo-ed, the car
secured, hurried into Prineville over '.
the Oregon Trunk and the city ot
Prineville road, and placed into the
structure prepared for it wi'h very
little loss of water to the farmers.
The economic value of this coopera
tion cannot be overestimated a"d the
farmers can thank the traffic depart
ment of the S. P. & S. lines, for the
service, which de'lverod the shipment
at their works in thirtv diys oi:t frem
the foundry, regardless of the worst
traffic condition in years.
The men responsible for this Ser
vice are: J. T. (Joe) Hardy, 'R. W.
Pickard and J. C. Moore, toret'ier
with associates in the service.
If there were mare railr oad men
like them, there would be many less
complaints and much better service.
