Much is heard of the Swiss military system and other European methods of preparedness in the big discussion on what the United States should do to Increase her military power. Euro pean armies and European methods are discussed as though the seat of the present great war were the seat of al! military preparedness. The United States can learn a lei- son on the subject of preparedness from the little country of Chile la South America, howeier, according to Washington T. Diaz, student in the College of Agriculture. Diaz comes (from Santiago, Chile, and has also I traveled extensively in Europe. j "At the age of nineteen years every man in Chile has to enter the army for one full year of training." said Mr. Diaz. Nothing outside of physical ina bility or the dependence cf a widowed mother or a very poor family on him for support will excuse a male citizen from this requirement; in most cases he will have to serve his time later, even under these conditions. "Eiery year twenty officers are sent from Chile to Europe to study war problems in the military schools of the ainerent countries. lucse men are picked from the military college byl their standing. They bring back the. most modern ideas and put them to use in our small army." According to Mr. Diaz, the idea that the army and navy of his country and other South American contries are controlled by German officers is false. "We have gained many valuable iioints in military tactics and training from the Germans, but they do not control our forces In any way," said the Chil ean. Diaz will remain at the Unhersity of Missuri for two more years. He will then return to Chile and put what he has learned in the College of Agricul ture to the practical test on his large farm.
