NORTH SHORE MAN HAS BIG ARMY JOB Gen. Moseley, Ft. Sheridan, Born in Evanston About 27 years ago, when George Moseley entered the Military Acad- emy at West Point, his friends little dreamed that today he would be in command of the corps area in which he was born. Brigadier General George V. H. Moseley, commanding officer at Fort Sheridan, situated on the lake between Highland Park and Lake Forest, is stationed less than 15 miles from his old home on Ridge ave., Evanston. His service in France with General Pershing brought him a number of decorations. While assisting General Dawes, he was especially chosen to organize and command the largest training camp in the United States this summer at Camp Custer, near Battle Creek, Mich. Dawes "Knows" Him The results obtained by the camp commander exceeded the expecta tions of visitors and inspectors with the exception of General Dawes, who, when asked on a visit to the camp for his views and opinion on the camp, replied, "It's a fine camp, but that is what I expected to see." Not long ago General Moseley was considered for the office of quarter- master general of the army, with rank of major general, according to a service paper. Upon hearing this he denied that he was a candidate and stated that he would not accept the postion, if offered. According to a Battle Creek paper, members of the Chicago Chamber of Commerce proclaimed him one of the three lead- ing generals of the army today. On a number of occasions he has stated that Fort Sheridan would be more active next year. Students of the R. O. T. C. at Northwestern uni- versity will be pleased to hear that General Moseley is in favor of hav- ing the training camp at Fort Sheri- dan next year. Note of Warning "It is the policy of the United States that the military establish- ment in peace be a relatively small regular army and the ultimate war force of the nation be a great army of citizen soldiers. But reliance upon citizen soldiery is subject to the lim- itation that they cannot be expected WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1922 to meet a trained enemy until they, too, have been trained," said Gen. Moseley. "It is therefore our most important military problem to devise means for preparing great armies of citizen sol- diers to meet the emergency of mod- ern war. An unprotected person on a dark street corner, with a pot of gold on his head and his hands in his pockets would no doubt receive some attention from those in need of bread. The world today is in chaos and we are the wealthiest nation. It is to prevent war that we need to be in a state of preparedness. It requires more than the pen to enforce law and order." Ernest Schuett Plans Sale; Chased Out by Golf Demands The demand of the golfer for more room in which to get a free swing at his game has chased Ernest Schuett "galley west." Ernest, until quite recently was a staid farmer west of Wilmette. Today he is about to sell out everything to make room for the Playmore Golf course. Saturday, October 28, Schuett will auction farm implements, cattle horse s, poultry and feed. He's going to whack the prices like "sixty," too. And here's the big item. Ernest will serve luncheon on the grounds. Those attending this novel affair will be asked, incidentally, to inspect the new Playmore Golf course now being built on the Schuett farm.
