SPECIAL ENLISTMENT IN VIEW
Would Provide Separate Organization
for the Purpose.
FIELD SERVICE Is ESSENTIAL
Would Give Nation Reserve of the
Highest Value.
HELP MAN, ARMY AND NATION
Not Definite Project Yet, but Gem
eral Regards Plan Feasible and
One that Would Do
Great Good.

WASHINGTON. June u.-(Special Tele-
gram )-General Leonard Wood believes he
has solved the problem Of giving the United
States the best army in the world. In
brief the plan is to give all the college
graduates at least the rudiments Of a mill
tary training by an actual enlistment In
the army for a term Of six months or
year after graduation. The scheme is
merely tentative as yet and whether the
enlistment Of the college men should be
compulsory, by act of congress, or volun-
tary has not even been considered.
General Wood points out that when in
1863 the army of the south needed men
and more ammunition, the students Of Vir-
ginia Military institute Coften called the
West Point Of the SOUTH, marched out in
a body to the support Of the confederacy.
The ages OF these young soldiers ranged
from "a to IS years. the majority of them
being nearer Il than IS. The service they
rendered forms one Of the bright pages of
the history of the civil war
General Woods idea is to have every
young man as he graduates from college.
enlist in the regular army under a special
enlistment for six months or a year, the
choice Of the period to be left to the re-
cruit. These young men are TO have their
own organization with the exception Of the
officers. Their service and discipline will
be the same as those of the regular troops
and will be in the field. They will be given
close and open formation drills, camping
and field work and a full season of target
range work with the regulation military
rifle.
IF every young man graduating from
college would enlist for six months and
spend the time in the field, in a few years
the United States could send several thou
sand experienced soldiers into service II the
need should arise" said General Wood,
today.
Such enlistment by the college man
would help him, the army, and the nation"

Depew Has a Joke
on Newspaper Men
of New York
Minister is Taken for the Former
Senator, Who Afterwards Talks of
Trusts and Handling of Them.

NEW YORK, June 1l.-(Special Tele-
am.)-Former Senator Chauncey NJ. De
pew had the Joke on the newspaper men
today as he sailed for Europe on the
An erican liner Philadelphia and he en-
joyed IL. Among the passengers was Rev.
Edward Lequier, an Episcopal minister,
who is almost an exact counterpart of
Mr.. Depew. The newspaper men gathered
about the puzzled clergyman and to his
amazement began to ply him with ques-
tons about the trust decisions, the steel
inquiry and the like, Mr.. Depew. with Mrs.
Depew and her sister, Miss Mildred
Palmer. taking in the situation with keen
enjoyment
After the newspaper men had discovered
their mistake Senator Depew enjoyed a
great laugh at their expense. He chuckled
over the way, as he said, Judge Gary has
taken the wind out of the sails of the con-
gressional committee that is investigating
the trust.
The steel investigation is a good thing"
said the ex-senator. 1T is a good thing
because IT gives Judge Gary a chance TO
tell how 10 run big corporations.
Il think Judge Gary got the bulge on the
commission. They started in with the idea
that they, democrats. were going TO get
after the steel corporation and have plenty
Of campaign material TO use next year
Instead, Judge Gary has gone further than
they have dared TO go. We have always
overrated government control, but 1 have
never dared 10 talk of the government
running them. II the government runs
our department we would have chaos. and
why? Because they could not be run long
by political appointees.
Il believe in government control and su-
pervison and publicity. ] have never gone
as far as Judge Gary has gone.
IF the government ran the United
States corporations everybody employed
would be discharged whenever new con-
gresE came in"

LONDON. June u.-tspecisl Cablegram)
A great automobile highway across the
United States from the Atlantic TO the
Pacific. and another from the lakes 10
the gulf. That is the dream Of Colonel
John Jacob Astor American muiti- million
aire which he hopes to turn into a reality
before many years.
In fact. he is even now at work on a
scheme for the coast 10 coast road, and
upon his return TO the United states eN-
poets TO have his plans sufficiently ad-
vanced 20 take tho initial steps toward
securing the cooperation OF wealthy auto
mobile owners municipal state and ma
tonal governments for the building Of the
roadbed.
While the route Of course, has not been
even tentatively laid out, Colonel Astors
idea is to have 1t start from New York,
and, tappnG the principal cities, go through
20 some point on the coast. and build a
similar road along the coast from Los
Angeles to Seattle.
Omaha daily bee., 1911-06-12
At Express Train Speed.

The road is to be primarily for the use
OF automobiles, and is to be divided so
as TO permit not only leisurely touring,
but setting aside a portion OF the road
for that purpose will permit also travelling
at express speed between the larger cities.
In discussing the plan Colonel Astor
said
Perfectly built roads between the At
lantic and Pacific and between the lakes
and the gulf would mean millions OF
dollars saved to the United States which
are now spent in Europe. 1t would be
difficult to tell just how many millions
of American men are drawn to France
alone by its splendid automobile roads.
The automobile has become neces-
sity to the man Of wealth. and he is COM
PEELED to go where he can get the most
enjoyment with his machine. He comes
to Europe and more especially to France.
No country has more beautiful scenery
than the United States, but the roads pre-
vent the enjoyment of the attractions by
the automobilists.
III the roads intersacung the country
were built. their tr,sm1zeous tssfInence In
developing the sections they traverse, In
attracting tourists with money and in
bringing in new capital for the develop
ment Of their resources would result in a
comparatively short time in the extension
Of the good roads system until every sec
ton OF the country is covered. This
work must be inaugurated by wealthy
Americans who love their country and take
pleasure I'm automobiling shall CON
tribute literally to the movement and
there are many others who will join.
When Americans make up their mind
thing is worth having. they are not
backward about furnishing the cash. wit
ness when San Francisco raised several
millions for it's exposition.
Il am not ready to talk definite plans,
but in q broad way my idea would be to
divide the country into sections. having
strong men who are willing to spend their
own money as an earnest OF their interest
in charge of each section. have no doubt
that city and state aid would be forth
coming when the matter was properly pre-
serted. and at the night time l believe
the interest and aid OF the national gov
eminent could be secured. With the wo:k
being pushed with vigor I'm all these sec
tions it would not take long to complete
the linking of the various sections Of the
country by splendid roads, which would
have almost, II not quite. as far-reaching
effects on the national progress of the
United States as the building of the first
trunk line railroads.
