WASHINGTON and OREGON Partly cloudy tonight, with lower temperature in tho in terior; Tuesday generally fnir Bv W. B. RAGSDALE AarlHtrd I'rraa writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 VP) Nothing ho happened in Europe yet to change the conviction of the war department that "hord, well trained, efficient marching Infantry supported by all other arms, clinch the decision of the modern battlefield." Thnt, boiled down to Its es sence, would necessarily mean that the war department still re gurds tho tough, long winded, hard fighting infantry as the good right, arm of its fighting forces, " It doesn't matter how the In fantry goes from here to there. It may cross a county, stato or country by train, airplane or truck. But after it gets to the scene of action, it stands up on its own two feet and fights with rifle and bayonet. As General George C. Mar shall, the chief of staff, described it, the Infantry is a "hard bitten service where the men have to slough through the mud and do not get much publicity; they do not photograph well." But they are tho men upon whom rest the winning or losing of battles. Consequently, tho training program is working toward the development of 45 infontry-ar-tillery divisions. This will pro vide almost four infantrymen for but cloudy near coust: moderate west to northwest wind off the j every one motorized or in the coast; gentlo to moderate west-: cavalry. There will be ten arm- erly wind over Washington and inland waters. LAND PLANNERS INSPECT AREA AT CASCADE SUMMIT CASCADE SUMMIT The Oregon Land Plunnlnk congress In company with a number of officials of tho U.

Crawford of Bend. They spent an interesting dny at tho Pringlc Falls Experiment station. Tho group numbered 25 us they re turned to the Wlllametto valley by way of the new Willamette highway, six others hiivlng re turned to Portland via Bend Bnd Waplnitiu, orcd and two cavalry divisions. And, of course, there will be the nir force. But it is to the infantry that most of the men Inducted into the service through the selective draft will f,o at the outset. Some of those especially adapted by aptitude or special training will filter through into other branches of tho service. But by and large, the infantry will claim most of tho recruits. Tho tank corps, cavalry, air corps and most of tho moro mod ern military creations that have cvolvod from tho war in Europe are agencies that must bo oper ated by the professional soldier. It takes years of training to per form the tasks any of these di visions arc called upon to do. Tho man going into the army under' compulsion for one year of service can hardly be assigned to training in the handling of anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns.
