Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH Militarists Expect War to Kill Itself If New Weapons Are Turned Loose By GREGORY ADAMS From the expected to envelope Europe this year, American military and naval experts hope to tabulate their first authentic information regarding improved efficiency of modern fighting weapons. In the 70 years that have elapsed since the Civil war first modern conflict the mu- nitions of army and navy have WASHINGTON.

Maximum speed has increased tremendously, cruising rate of 1940 bomber being 250 m.p.h. 8 m.p.h. for compared with 1918 makeshift bomber. Cruising range: 3,500 miles today against only 600 miles in World 1 - 'V- :v ' "I - 1 states that the stalemate is increased. In modern warfare, sheer power runs against sheer power. Thus, on Frances western front, neither army is able to gain a decided advantage. Knowing this, they stay safely behind front lines. If this frightful power were unleashed there would be only chaotic destruction of life to show in the end; advances would be negligible. Such an ultimate clash of strength would provide the experts with their first clue to the potentialities of modern weapons. Italys invasion of Ethiopia was no test, for II Duces army was pitted against an inferior foe. So were Hitlers legions in Poland. The Spanish war found each side ill equipped and resorting to guerilla tactics, as have the combatants in the e war. Finland has demonstrated that shrewd maneuvering, coupled with aid from Mother Nature, can stop the Russian juggernaut. But what will happen next summer, when the mechanized Red army operates under normal conditions? Bombers Shun the Civilians. Military experts believe the end of war may come when nations re-- i alize how an attack may backfire. An indication that the powers appreciate this danger is demonstrated in the fact that not a single civilian objective was bombed in the first five months of the n war. To bomb London, the Nazis know, would be to invite retaliatory bombing of Munich, Berlin and other cities. Thus the vast improvement in death dealing weapons may be a blessing in disguise. Take the ordinary rifle, traditionally the backbone of armed strength. In 1865 an American infantry soldier carried a singlemusket that deshot, muzzle-loadin- g livered an average of one cartridge a minute. Its maximum efficiency was 300 yards.
