ment bureaus and out through
corps and divisional areas, even
down to the commanaders of reg
iments, to lay the grond work for
the 'doctrines of tactics aand of
training' on which post-war build
ing of the army shall proceed."
Age-Old Gospel Rule
The answers wen? unmistak
able. There has been no change
soldiers who fought in France be
lieve in the age-old gospel of
"cold steel" in war. As it was
with Cromwell's grim hosts bid
den for victory "with push of
pike," with Napoleon's old guard
that "died but never surrenders,"
with Pickett's "flower of the
south" at Gettysburg, so it was
with Pershing's "buddies" in
France. Cold steel was the ulti
mate arbiter of battle.
The conclusion follows an ex
haustive study of the influence
that modern scientific develop
ments will have upon the tech
nique of warfare, especially with
regard to aviation, motor trans
port and tanks."
Chiefs of all combat branches
had their say on the questionnaire
designed "to bring- out the best
present military thought." both
on basic principles and as to
changes in fighting technique
necessitated by new weapons.
Tests to be Made
As the research work goes on.
tests will be made "to solve de
batable questions." Among these
is that of the "comparative value
of bombing planes and fixed heavy
guns in seasoast defenses."
"It is possible at this time." the
statement added, to announce
the conculaion of the war depart
ment resulting from the answers
to the basic questions as to which
there was substantially unanimous
agreement. It is concluded, and
doctrines of tactics and of train
ing will be based accordingly.
That man remains the fundamen
tal instrument in battle and as
such cannot be replaced by any
imaginable instrument short of a
more perfect thing than the hu
man body, including the mind.

all other agencies of destruction as
artill?ry. machine guns and air

fect, however potent, and serve to
make possible. the advance of the
foot soldier to hand to hand en
counter. "That infantry is the basic com
batant arm upon whose success
normally depends the success of
the army, the primary duty of
other arms, when associated with
infantry is to assist the infantry
to achieve its mission by protect

by destroying enemy resistant to
its efforts.
"That no arm except infantry
can be expected under normal con

to the possible effects of new
agencies of war and in making
public results of its studies, the
War department "hopes to insurn

Behind your telephone service is the "plant"
a complicated mechanical equipment of
poles, cables, wires, switchboards, instruments,
etc, carefully adjusted and absolutely depend
ent on perfect construction and maintenance.
The "plant" is constantly subject to accident
and outside interference. Storms, fires, the
carelessness of workmen, the pranks of children,
concealed defects of material all play their
part.
The telephone company maintains a skilled
force whose sole duty is to quickly restore serv
ice interrupted from any cause. Your lines are
constantly watched and tested.
In the case of trouble we are generally the
first to know it, but a notification to our Com
plaint Department when there is anything
wrong will be appreciated.

The Portland Railway, Light &
Power company has added more
than 2100 new stockholders to
its lists during the present cam
uuign of selling its new isbue of
7 per cent prior preference s;;cl:
to it employes, customers, pat
ions and the general pal lie under
what is known as the "home own
ership" plat.
The new shareholders repre
sent vhluaiy every on, of the
nearly SO communities in which
the big utility operates and
consists of men and woui:n in al
most every walk of life.
The gratifying success ot the
new plan of financing its needs,
according 'o company -nficials,
will enable the big utility to carry
out extensive improvement and
betterment plans for the coming
season, including substantial
headway on the gigantic $10,-
000,000 Oak Grove hydro-electric
development which, when com
Dieted, will add 80,000 more
horsepower to the present facili
ties of thecompany. -
"This new plan of home finan
cing." declared President Frank
lin T. Griffith, "has proved ex
ceedingly popular with many pub
lic utilitly corporations through
out the country that haye needed
large additional sums of capital
to keep pace with the growing
demands on their facilities.
"It is a well-known fact that
the greatest need of the public
utility industry at the present
time is new capital for the con
struction of addition generating
equipment, transmission lines,
sub-stations, transportation equip
ment, trackage, overhead con
struction, etc., so that plant fa
cilities may be equal to the de
mands made upon them.
This company needs millions of
dollars for that purpose each year.
Our number of light and power
customers has increased 51 per
cent in the last eight years and
our production of electric energy
has increased over 61 per cent in
the same period. These growing
demands must be met, and we be
lieve it to be to the advantage of
al lconcerned that this additional
capital be secured from Oregon in
vestors, as it will be invested in
a local industry in which all the
public is interested either directly
or indirectly. With that thought
in mind we are now offering our
employes, customers, patrons and
tlu general public an opportunity
tl utilize th.j company as a means
of profitable investment and also
as a medium for saving by our
partial-payment plan.
"All the proceeds from the sale
of our 7 per cent prior preference
stock will be put to work right
here in needed improvements and
extensions as well as in the big
new development on th-e Upper
Clackamas river where we hope
to be able to .furnish steady em
ployment to a large force of men
tor an indefinite period. This
large undertaking should help ma
terialy to reduce the acuteness of
the present unemployment situa
tion in case our 'home ownership'
plan continues with the same de
gree of success with which it has
progressed so far."
