Working of Defense Day Machinery Created by Congress Explained; Preparedness, Not Mobilization, Is Plan "To he prepared for war, Is one the most effectual names of pre serving peace.”—Message of George Washington to congress, January 8. 1790. On September 12, the sixth anni versary o£ the famous battle of St. Mihiel, the War department will stage « defense test. In Omaha, the 89 th division will ■tage patriotic demonstrations. This day bids fair to become a great land mark In our military history. Tt will not constitute a mobilization and does not add a single man to the military ► forces of the United States, nor •will It interfere with the industrial organ ization life of the nation. The Omaha committee has plans for the local patriotic services. Able ora tors have been procured and parades will be held in almost every city and town In the state. Maj. Gen. George B. Duncan and MaJ. M. A. Palen, adjutant of the S9th division, both wish to convey the impression that the testing of our national defense does not mean that war appears on the horizon. Review Military Progress. "The defense test,” said Major Pa len, “is to be held only to determine how- far we have profited from our past experiences during the world w-ar and by our unpreparedness in 1917. "It is the first step in putting Into effect the first definite military policy the country has ever had." The defense test is the beginning of our national preparedness, the lack of which in the past has cost us dear ly in lives and money and burdens us with heavy debts and a long list of pensions. Any man or woman who is opposed to the national defense test is misinformed or does not realize the terrible cost of war without pre paredness." Major Palen, in order to give some idea of the great undertaking, pre pared the accompanying map and one may note the home stations of units of the 89th division. How It Would Work. Suppose John Jones is living peace fully at Lexington, Neb., where com pany “M,” 353th infantry has its home station. Strained relations have ex isticd for some time between the Vnitctd States and a foreign power. Finally, war is declared, a call for volunteers is issued. John Jones and his friends grew up together in Lex ington and will serve together in f'ompany "M”. The officers of Company ”M” also live in Lexington,, home hoys who by service in the citizens' military training camps and the officers' re serve corps ramps have earned their eommissions. From a skeleton peace organization Company "M" is or ganized and expanded into a war strength company at the declaration of war. All in the home town and near the folks at home. The regular krmy and the national guard, being With age comes experience and reliability; with experience comes knowledge. For almost three-quarters of a century this firm, Milton Hogers & Sons C'o., the oldest and largeat heating establishment in Omaha, has been heating Omaha.

This process of organizing the re serve units is going on all over the I’nited States. Finally, Company "M" is completely equipped and moves to Hastings, the home station at the third battalion, 355th infantry. There the battalion commander con centrates his companies, Company "I,” Red Cloud; Company “K," Hast ing; Company “R,” Alliance, and Company "M,” I,exington, and the companies are trained as a battalion. As soon as the battalion organiza tion and training Is completed the colonel of the 355th Infantry concen trates his three battalions at Omaha, the home station of the regimental headquarters. The battalions of the regiment are at Omaha, Lincoln and Hastings, as .indicated on the ac companying photostat. Finally, the regiment is joined by its twin, the 356 infantry from Sioux Falls, S. E>., and the two form the 178th Infantry brigade which also haa its head quarters at Omaha.

The division then moves with machlne-like preci sion to the scene of operations. Mobilization and training of all units are completed at the home stations, without confusion and excitement and without waste of money, as In previ ous wars. Enlistments, Conscription. During the first phase of mobiliza tion ail units depend on volunteer en listments; during the second phase recruits will be furnished unlta by local draft boards. In furtherance of this scheme of mobilization In the envent of war plans have been prepared by all units of the 89th division. On September 12 Thomas Smith and his friends are ordered to report to the company commander, their fellow townsman, and probably a merchant or a lawyer. The company roll Is railed. The company commander dis cusses with his officers and men the mobilization plans, the problems con fronting him and the part each will have to play in rase of an actual mobilization. The general plan for carrying out the defense test so far as the 89th division is concerned will consist of two parts — patriotic demonstration and test mobilization. The duties of every officer and en listed man in the 89th division will be to co-operate with the local com mittees appointed by the governor to make the patriotic demonstration a success. In addition, the duty of every unit commander will be to study his mobilization plan with a view to determining its feasibility for war time mobilization. In this study par ticular attention will be given to pro curement of suitable rendezvous points. Arrangement for local re cruiting and the reception of men from local draft boards, physical ex aminations, clothing and equipment, care of the sick.
