WOOD FRIEND Of
NATIONAL GUARD
New Chief of Staff Makes Some
Recommendations for
Army Good.

The first annual report of Mai-Gen,
Leonard Wood, T. S. A., as commander
of the department of the East. has been
made public General Wood makes many
interesting recommendations, one in
| particular. which advises change in
the system of handling military con-
vlcts. Under given conditions, and as
reward for good conduct, the con-
vieted soldier, he thinks, should be per
mitted to reenlist.
The National Guard has a good friend
in General Wood. That is what he has
to say about the coast artillery of the
militia:
- 1t is recommended that at the prin-
cipal instruction posts moderatesized
barrack building Of semipermanent CON
struction sufficient for seventy-fve men
be provided for the use of the coast
| artillery of the organized militia when
ever at the post for the purpose of
instruction, and that this building be
so equipped that they can remain there
for several days without undue ineon-
venience. Every effort is being made
to stimulate the interest of the coast
artillery of the organized militia in
the work laid down for them. General
~ speaking, the response has been en-
couTaging.
'fOfficers in various districts have Of
fered their services as artillery instruc-
tors on holidays or whenever detach-
ments of the organized militia may
present themselves for instruction.
Militia armory installation should
be pushed forward as rapidly as posi-
BILE, as, once completed, there viii be
much more interest shown and better
progress made in the instruction of
these troops
General Wood believes that it would
be good thing for the country to
turn back into civil life number of
trained soldiers each year. In view
of the fact he says, that it is not
| the policy of the United States to MAIN
tain a large army, it is believed that
the interests of the country will be
best served by turning back into the
population each year as many trained
soldiers as possible. To this end, re-
enlistments should he limited to non
commissioned officers and privates first
class. The continued reenlistment of
| men who have not won classification is
not desirable These men should be
turned back into the population. 1t is
almost certain that they will come to
the colors in case of war and. if de
sired, it would be a simple matter to
Keep track of them and render them
available for service at maneuyers by
paying an annual compensation. Gen
orally speaking every man so trained is
better citizen, he has more respect
for authority, the law and his coun-
try's flag. He is better man physical
ly, better workman, is more prompt,
obedient, and careful In short, his
training makes him more efficient and
valuable in civil life. -
