of national guard officers here this

Gen. Leonard Wood who attended
the conference, said the war depart

propriate from $5,O0O,OOO to $4,000
600 as pay for officers and enlisted
men of the guards.
Everybody in the United States
more than 10 years old should be
trained as a soldier, according to
Gen. Wood.

ting compulsory military education
in all the schools. Every boy thir-
teen years old or more should be
compelled to learn to use a rifle as
part Of his school course. Then we
would have a generation of crack
marksmen.
II would have the boys instructed
in the rudiments of military science.
They should be taught to throw up
earthworks and to plan scientific
lines of defense. These studies would
teach them the initiative in combat
which modern warfare requires.
Military drill would be part of the
compulsory education.
Wars come without notice nova

prepared.
Our standing army Of $4,000 men
is far too SMALL and congress should

ceive a larger number of applicants
without lowering the high standard,
for which the college is known
throughout this and other States.
He said further that while 1t was
much to be regretted also If a goo 4
pitcher or half were lost in this

standard Of scholarships set by the
college must be maintained above
everything.

trance requirements at the college.

marks were very much enjoyed by
