By PAUL MANNING Times Special Writer LONDON, Oct. 1. — Britain's manpower reservoir is - shallow. While America, with manpower just beginning to feel‘the pinch, debates

drafting youths of 18 to 20, Britain |: must train as rapidly as possible |

an army of boys between the ages of 13 and 18. ’ Britain has little more than three million front-line troops capable of second-front fighting. This new “poypower” army will be 75 per cent trained when the time comes for them to join the fighting forces. The new army cadet corps which trains boys for the army now numbers 155,000 and this figure continues to increase. The sea cadet corps is geared for an enlistment of 50,000. while the air training corps, largest of all, has now an ‘enrollment of slightly more than 250,000. Train at Country House On the grounds of what was once a magnificent country home in Hert-

TMENT : A fordshire, 1600 of these boys of the

Modern and

Suites BUILT tents under the supervision of two

colonels, invalided from the regular army since Dunkirk. The instructor group consists of four regular army non-commis-sioned officers, two instructors from the army school of physical training and seven regular army cooks. Training is conducted along full fl | military lines. It is the theory of the camp commandant that a boy who does a couple of-years in the cadet force and then goes into the home guard for a year at about the age of 16 can be regarded as 75 per fl | cent trained when the time comes for him to join the army.’ Boys in this army cadet corps camp looked enormously healthy but extremely young. The regular Ll | army is solicitous about their health | and provides ACC camps with extra food rations for growing soldiers. Regard 12 as Ideal Age Their day begins with -reveille at 6:45 a. m. Breakfast comes at 7:30, after which they get army training from 8:45 to 12:15. Lunch is from 12:30 to 1:30, with training continued from 1:45 to 4:15. The last meal of the day is at’ 5:30, with hot cocoa given just before bedtime. Britain's admiralty likes candidates for the sea cadets even younger. Royal navy men say that 12 is the ideal age for a boy to get interested in the navy and ships. However, there is no first-hand activity until the following year. In England there are 400 units of

Silver Is Replacing Other Metals in War Machines

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-—Sugges-tion to historians looking for a distinctive name for world war II: How about the silver-plated war? That's the kind of war we're fighting, and no kidding. The metal that puts the 10 cents into a dime and the hall-marks on jewelry and tableware is today replacing such lowly metals as copper,

battleships, tanks, airplanes, trucks, torpedoes, bombs, guns and shells.

Never say, “I don’t know as I can
