neer, and assessor-collector will be
added at a later date unless it la
decided that their duties shall be
fulfilled by the mayor and his
council.
^ President Walton and the Board
of Directors of the College have
expressed approval of the plan and
believe that it will prove to be of
many benefits and no disadvantag-
Jsck Bailey, above. Field Artil
lery sophomore, was recently elect
ed head of this year’s sophomore
The .incorporation committee is
of the /opinion that the action will
result in a lowering of insurance
rates and in better traffic regula
tion. It is also believed that the
new movement will not obstruct
any doit red change in the school
system; and may help to hold val
uable revenue areas in event the
district decides to remain inde
pendent- An estimated cost of gov
ernment has been outlayed at
$3500; .accordingly, this will prova
a substantial saving to. the indi
vidual taxpayer.

There has been s large number
of freshmen at recent corps dances
without date. The class decided to
restrict all freshmen without dates
from making the corps dances
The class dscided to send a com
mittee to the athletic council to
see whether or not the corps can
be seated from the 50-yard line.

The infantry i* I be backbone Of
th* army. All miliU ry training has
cosabat as its aim. And in oombat,
the infantry, arme< with rifle and
bayonet, are the troop* around
whom all elm ia centered The tac
tics of attack defence, maneuvers
and security are essentially infan
try tactics. The other snm have
as their sole lessor for existence
the support of the- infantry, their
one mission those oberstums which
will effectively ski the foot soldier.
And for the infantry to funoMon ss
it should H must h* property arm
ed. trained, and officered
Territory must bo conquered and
held by the infantry Once th* in
fantry is in postt4»», it in well
nigh impossible to di-lodge them
except with othet^i infantry. In
every war to which America has
engaged, this foot i nldier has de
cided the war.
And the Worst bidt on our mili
tary record, th* Battle of Bladeas-
burg, in which 4000 1 iritiah soldiers
'defeated 7000 antra#**’** P 00 *^ •*’
fleered Americans, v ns caused pri
marily, by the lack * t proper lead
ership for the men.
The World War gav
proof of th* jrsloc pf
boys. The Allies thopgh supported
by America, fraah an# well supplied
with men and<mbmUons, could hot
dislodge the Germane from their
position except by the urn of rifle
nnd bayonet. In Ethiopia, th* Ital

that won the WAT, although aided

When and if America must again
call her men to defend her shores,
the infantry officers from A. A M.
will play an important part. Th*
most important part of an army
is its corp of officers, because upon
their numbers train tag and ability,
the success of the army depends.
A. A M. had more men serving as
officers in th* World War than any
other educational institution ia the
United States, West Point included.
..The infantry at A. A M. ia on#
of toe largest branches of service.
It has hi the pourm of time, pro
duced far more reserves officers
than any of the other branches of
the service. ’
The import**# IP net that A. A M.
trained men oAft *>1*7 in the next
war cannot be exaggerated. Ia
event of hostilities they would be
ia a position to gx> into immediate
action as instructors er aa officers
in actual combst.
