IT'S A NOVEL SCHEME

Endorsement.

New York, May l5.--At the third
annual meeting Of the Association Of
Colleges and Universities of the state
of New York, held to-day In the
council room of the College of the
City of New York, Colonel Morris b
Belknap Of Louisville, Ky, suggested
the organization of an army reserve
of college alumni, and said that his
plan had the approval of the war de-
| partment and general staff.
MY plan" said Colonel Belknap,
SIS that for three years after gradua-
ton the college students be enlisted
as a college reserve at the call Of tie
government, No particular military
training would be necessary, though
of course advantageous.
THE college mon will be equal to
trained men, trained soldiers, In that
they possess higher order Of intel
lIgence, knowledge of drills and so
forth Is not Immediately necessary
for men of this type will soon pick
up what 1t Is necessary for them to
know, This would be real insur-
ance feature for the protection of the
country
"As an economic feature. think It
would be valuable. Certainly in such
body of men. YOU would not see
the deporable reaching for pensions
characteristic Of some OF the soldiers
of the Spanish American war. | do
not believe that trained body Of col
| lege men would take the means to get
upon the hospital list. and thus make
themselves available for pensions, that
were adopted to such an extent in the
Spanish-American war
and If 1t were known that rapid,
quick, intelligent body of gentlemen,
say. $4,000 were constantly enlisted
in the governments service, to be
ready at time Of call, think II would
have a mighty inspiring and valuable
influence. And It might as readily
have deterrent effect upon any ma
ton planning to tackle us. II the head
of the war force of that nation hap
pened to know that there were 25.-
900 intelligent men. young and
healthy, and well able to grasp in a
short time what was wanted.
Imagine the esprit de corps there
would be say In regiment from this
university, or from that. or from any
one of half dozen which might be
named"
The speaker added that he had
been assured by the war department
that IL some assurance of the success
OF the plan were forthcoming that
legislation to perfect 1t would be
forthcoming. He also said that he
had had a letter from the general
staff saying that the character and
patri ltlsm' Of such a body would be
apt to be Of the highest order.
Dean Crane of Cornell then told OF
the high efficiency Of the cadet bat
Italians at his university. lie invited
Colonel Belknap togo to Cornell and
discuss his plan there. President Fin
ley, on behalf of the association, eX-
pressed its thanks but said It could
not take positive action on the pro-
posed plan.

facilities for heavy work good. Dlsci-
pline excellent Training for new men
satisfactory; no other drills Response
to telephone alarms unsatisfactory.
response TO other alarms excellent
Fire methods good. Building inspec-
ton satisfactory. but records are lack

The remainder of the summing up
Is worded thus:
Streets paved but mainly OF unsat-
lsfactory width. Overhead wire OBJ
structlon serious in many parts. Mum
Der of fires and fire loses moderate.
Water supply.-Supply adequate.
Pumping stations non-nre proof and
some Of the supply mains cement lin
ed. but on account of the number of
Independent supplies the danger from
these conditions Is lessened. Total
capacity Of supply mains of doubtful
adequacy under adverse. conditions.
Per capita consumption very large,
Pressures light. Main arteries and
minor distributors generally OF good
size and wei! arranged, but 10 per
cent. are Of cement lined pipe. Hy-
drants fairly we'll distributed. but
many are Of type entirely too small
for efficient service.
Fire alarm system. Automatic
system; too small for the present
needs of the department. Part of the
fire department; management excel

condition Many boxes Of an unsatls-
factory type; distribution good. Ser

Summay.-Water supply adequate:

important districts except under very
adverse conditions Fire department
