Show SCHOOLMASTER OF A WAR COLLEGE Berlin. Sept. 27. f Lieutenant Gere-' ral Kuno v.n Steuben Is the new 'schoolmaster" of the German War Colleges, to which the best of young German armj officers are sent soon alter receiving their commission. Americans will recall with intero-t! that other von Steuben of the same! family, he of the testy temper and in domltable perscv ian e, who organized organ-ized and drilled Oorgc Washington's' untrained recruits into first-class fighting material.. The task of which General von Stcu-1 ben has been assigned was too oner-' oiib for the predecessor, General von Quendejl, who retired after less than six months' eervice. A detail to the War Academy is an In dispensable preliplnarj to service with the general gen-eral staff, from which the officers for higher commands arc selected, and General von Steuben possibly has in his hands the military training of a future commander of the German army in a later war. oo |
