wholly unchanged? Will not the only material modification come in the time
and space factors? We shall have to think faster and act faster; we shall
require better and more rapid communication; our perspective must be larger;
but otherwise, we can apply what we have learned in the past. _.
The large problem will be that of command. The commanding general
must see---Dr visualize-the battlefront and he must have extremely rapid
transmission of orders. These questions are not yet solved. T~evision and
radio may furnish the solution, but they are not yet prepared to do so. What
time may bring forth, no man may tell, but probabilities and possibilities
should be discussed and the JOURNALpages are open to the opinions of its contributors.
Mechanization and motorization are upon us. To what extent will
they influence battlefield tactics?
Change of Address
From and after April 1 the editorial and business offices. of the COAST
ARTILLERYJOURNALwill be located at 1115 Seventeenth .Street, N. W., Washington,
D. C. After thirty-seven years at Fort Monroe, the JOURNALleaves that
station with reluctance, but business reasons dictate the move. Closer relationship
with the other service periodicals, with the office of the Chief of Coast
Artillery, and with the Corps seems to have become necessary and to outweigh
the advantages of location at Fort Monroe. The JOURNALtrusts that such associations
and the greater amount of time and thought which may be devoted to
the needs of the Corps will be productive of a better and more interesting
periodical. The JOURNALalso trusts that its friends will visit it at its new
address whenever they may be in Washington.

There is a phase of military training for our young men,
to which attention is especially invited, and that is the
benefit to the individual himself. He is taught respect for
authority of which there is far too little in our country. He
learns self-discipline, hygiene, self-confidence, and has an
opportunity to develop qualities of leadership, with an understanding
of its responsibilities.--General John J. Pershing.
