OP) Army officers ! discussed Informally and unof ficially today the possibility of using "a little live ammunition" in mock war to train soldiers to use utmost caution in pro tecting themselves.

Fighting would be realistic and of great value." I In all probability, they said. I there would be no casualties. but in any event, "which Is worst to kill one man in a game like this and teach the remainder a lesson they never will forget or let them fight with blanks and lose 8.000 men in their first real battle?" In actual warfare, troop losses in the first engagements are heavy because the men have to break careless habits developed in mock warfare, the officers pointed out. They said that Japan, Ger many and other European coun tries sometimes use as high a ratio as one live bullet in 400 in war games.
