Trained Men in Reserve.

Forty thousand men are dropped every
the National Guard of the states by ex-
piration Of enlistment and return to civil
life. These men, trained in military tao
tics, the War Department is anxious to
form into a reserve. committed to seven
years additional service.
This reserve service would not be oner-
Gus. The men would return to civil life
and engage in civil pursuits without re-
strictions. Under nominal pay. they
would be required to report. perhaps once
or twice in the seven years service, so
that they might receive instructions which
would keep them up with the develop
ments of soldering and their arms.
The regular army is 100000 at full
strength. The National Guard of the
various states number about 10000 men.
With a reserve force of 10000 men. its
complement attained in the first six years
of its creation, and maintained at that
strength. balanced by expiration OF serv-
ice and the transfer of men from the
active to the reserve service, the United
States would have an army of nearly
half a million trained soldiers ready to
take the field at an lnStantS notice IN
case Of necessity
This is the goal that the War Depart
meut, supported by the President, is aim
ing to reach.
The propositions made by Representa-
tive Hay in his army measures for the
consolidation Of the supplies departments
is approved by the War Department. The
project would serve to economize public
moneys and would have other desirable
features already Endorsed by the admin
istration. The plan is not new.

Forest Reserve Bill Faulty.

President Taft today was informed that
unless Congress amends the Appalachian
forest reserve bill which became a law
last March the southern and New Eng
land states will not reap the advantages
Of 100000 Of the S11 100000 originally
made available under that act Through
an oversight, 1t is stated, the bill was
framed SO that 100000 was to be ex-
pended in conserving the forests and in
protecting water power sites during the
first year. which was designated as 1910.
Before the bill passed the year 1910 had
ended. The controller of the Treasury
then ruled that this 81 GOO. 600 could not
be paid. but must revert back to the
Treasury.
In 1911 81 100000 was to have become
available provided that sum was spent
before June 90 Now the commission In
charge of the reforestation fears that IT
will not be able to use the whole of this
appropriation, because it's force is not in
shape to complete surveys Of the lands

WAR DEPARTMENT IS FOR
TEN-YEAR EN[|STMENTS
Reasons Advanced for Not
Favoring Five-Year Term,
Proposed in Hay Bill.

The War Department is not in favor
Of the five-year enlistment plan proposed
in the Hay bill just introduced in the
House of Representatives. 1t does favor
a ten-year enlistment term, consisting OF
three years active service and seven
years in reserve service.
The five-year enlistment is Objectionable
to the War Department because 1t is
calculated to make both officers and
men Indifferent to drill work. In five
years active service enlisted men be-
come SO proficient that the necessity OF
continual practice IS no longer appre-
ciated by them or by their officers. in
the opinion of the War Department., and
laxity is sure to creep in.
The economies that a five-year enlist
ment would accomplish, In the opinion of
the War Department, are not those .nut
are of consequence. There are two great
means of wasting public money without
return that the department would like
to correct: millions spent in travel pay
for travel that Is not performed and
for new uniforms issued on re-enlist-
ment, even when the soldier is aIreauy
perfectly equipped.

FOR ACTION THIS SESSION
ELECTION OF U. S. SENATORS

President Taft today began his real
campaign to have supporters Of his reci-
procity program in the Senate work for
the passage Of that bill.
The Senate committee on finance this
morning held its first session, and Senator
Lodge. member of that body, told the
President that the reciprocity measure
would be taken up for consideration i'm
mediately. Mr.. Taft is insistent that the
measure be enacted at this session, and
has repeatedly asserted recently that it
must be passed now or never.
1t is said that rumors have reached the
President to the effect that certain sena-
tors, both regulars and insurgents. intend
to burden the reciprocity treaty with
amendments. hoping to prolong the debate
and possibly to prevent Passage of the
measure. Supporters of the reciprocity
bill. who have conferred with Mr. Taft
on the subject, mean to check this pro-
posed amending campaign. and it is proba-
BILE that those members who are regarded
as hostile to the treaty will be summoned
to the White House for talks with the
President.
Senator Borah's Mission.
For few minutes before the cabinet
met Senator Borah of Idaho conversed
with the President about the resolution
providing for direct election of senators.
The senator is confident OF the passage
of his resolution at this session, al
though he expects the Sutherland amend
ment to be offered again. and, therefore.
cause unlimited debate.
This amendment, which undoubtedly
will be the war center of discussion on
the measure, provides that the federal
government shall have control over the
election of senators. Southern members
of the Senate object to this arrangement
and say 1t is menace because OF the
large colored vote that might be polled

gan called to see the President this morn
