Russia's Red Army Officially Estimated At Million And Half
Largest Army in Eastern Europe, Declares Edwin Hulinger, Correspondent to Russia
Edwin W. Hullinger, A. B. 172, now United Press correspond to Russia, has the leading article, "Russia's Red Army," in The Fortnightly Review, one of England's foremost magazines. In speaking of Russia's Red Army, Mr. Hullinger says that it is officially estimated at around a million and a half men, the greatest standing army in eastern Europe.
The soldiers are no longer uncouth, untrained, peasant boys and workers, but are well trained soldiers. Their uniforms are new and well cared for and the manner in which they march and carry their arms shows that they are a part of a definite and well organized military system.
Credit for this achievement of or- organizing genius is due to Leon Trotsky.
Discarding all the earlier Communistic ideas of an army of brothers and equals, Trotsky has worked out a thoroughly western European or organization. All former discipline even the military has been reinstated the workings has been reinstated the only difference being that the rests which distinguish a lower from a higher officer are on the sleeve instead of the shoulder. Each company, however, retains its dual staff organization. The line of officers in charge of the military life and Comms is being retrained in its "enlightenment." In addition to Communism, this latter also teaches reading and writing.
Whatever its past—and reports
serve there was a certain amount of pillaging done by earlier Revolutionary troops—the Red army of today is a force of law and order in Russia. Communism as a theory no longer plays a part in the life of the Russian people. Communism is "passe" in Russia.
Writes For "The Quill"
"Reporting is the most important part of newspaper work," says Marvin H. Crenger, A-B '04, managing editor of the Milwaukee Journal, in an article issued by the Quill, official publication of Sigma Delta Chi.
Marvin Creagor, A. B.'04, Editor of Milwaukee Journal
The most interesting newspaper stories, according to Mr. Creager, are those that have to do with emotions and reactions, the trials, and triumphs of our fellow men. No one can write of those things without knowing of them at first hand. He must be there and get involved. He must experience alone enable a reporter to pick out these all-powerful details.
The Milwaukee editor also believes that another failing is too sparing use of questions. To gain a few minutes in the time of getting on the street, newspapers often sacrifice the details that make a story stand out. The constant pressure for speed discourages close questioning and reporters are finding out less about their stories before turning them in. Lack of reading and general information is evident. A reporter
should at least be familiar with everything that appears in his own paper. Good literature should be read, read, read, Mr. Craeger beavens.
Mr. Crenger was a member of Beta Chapter of Sigma Delta Chi here when he attended the University, and was active on the paper published here at that time. His wife is also a K. U. graduate, who in school was Helen Alder. She received her A. B. in 1906.
