() The last of Pennsylvania's 9.000 National Guardsmen who have drilled on this vast military reservation for the past two weeks, were homeward bound today. The whine of the bullet ricocheting from tree and stone and the echoing boom of the big guns were absent from the quiet, verdant valley as truck and train carried the tanned thousands homeward. Tented cities came down; "so-long until next year," was a favorite cry, and happy-go-lucky, singing guardsmen packed duffy bags and went back to their homes and jobs. Next week the thousand or acres will lie idle, and the week after that, 9.000 more civilian soldiers from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia will come to the reservation for their fourteen day of training. By an exchange agreement, the Pennsylvania National Guard ve hicles will be loaned the 29th Division to carry its troops from the south.

MACHINES MAN BUILDS MAY TURN AGAINST HIM. Col. Charles A.

Lindbergh's I speech on aviation in Berlin was a I sobering reminder of the fact that i the race acquires tremendous new 1 responsibilities every time it makes a conquest over the realm of inani- mate matter, It invents the airplane and frees Itself from the old limitations of time and space in a way that people 1 of an earlier generation could not have dreamed of. But at the same time this new invention increases to an appalling degree, the race's power for sheer destruction, it changes the whole character of war and, as Colonel Lindbergh points out, docs away with defense. "As I travel over Europe," said Colonel Lindbergh, "I am more than aver impressed with the seriousness of the situation which confronts us. When I see that within a day or two damage can be done which no time can ever replace, I begin to realize that we must look for a new type of security." All of which Js to say that a new advance in the mechanical arts, a device like the airplane for instance, is a double-edged tool. It can be used both ways to make it easier for the races of men to get along together on this troubled planet, or to make it harder.

And unless we get so that we can display as much wisdom in using new tools of this kind as we did in devising them, ve are very apt rue the day that we ever heard of them. Colonel Lindbergh's own career is a case in point. When he flew alone from New York to Paris he gave us me of the most spiritually uplifting txperiences of the century. There was something about that exploit which made eternally visible the triumph of the dauntless spirit of man over a hostile environment; as his silvery plane circled over Paris In the dusk, all of us shared that triumph and were. uplifted.

But you need only turn that flight of Jiis inside out to get a clear picture of the sort of thing he was talking about in Berlin the other day. Suppose there is a war. Over the sea come other planes -1 whole flights and sqiftdrons of them, this time, with swollen egg sacs of bombs in their bellies. Each plane is flown with all the skill and indi-; vidual bravery of that first lone flight; but when they circle over Paris or London, or New York, or Berlin at the end, they provide no uplift of spirit for anyone. Instead, they rain down death and destruction.

As Colonel Lind-jbergh says, in a few moments they destroy things that can never bere-' placed. And the sunlight that glints on their wings signalizes the folly 1'of a race which has the mechanical -skill to commit hari-kari and lacks the sense Uo refrain from doing it. Both of these flights come out of the same egg. The Wright brothers -r bequeathed them to us when they their silk-and-bamboo crate in- to the air at- Kitty Hawk. As Col- onel Lindbergh says, our only secur-f ity henceforth lies in intelligence.

Unless we can bring to the use of airplanes the same intelligence that into the inventing and perfecting of them, we face a dark future.
