that certain persons in Washington

WOOD FOR RESERVE CORPS
Advocates Permanent Body OF
10000 Trained Soldiers.
DISARMAMENT A "DREAM"
Says Without Force He Wants
1--WE Would Get Thumped' in
First Year or Two of War.

Washington. May 12.-By spending
from S6.OO0OOO to S1OOO0.OOO year
the United States can have permanent
reserve corps Of 10000 trained soldiers
thus putting the regular army on a
strong war basis. according to Major
General Wood. chief of staff. who before
the House Committee on Military Affairs
to-day opposed bill changing the term
of enlistment from three to five years.
General Wood said his plan in seven
years would put the full reserve strength
of 10000 men within call of the war
Department. Characterizing disarma-
mon. as "a dream of dreamers' ne
urged adoption Of some practical scheme
for putting the country's military es-
Establishment on a stronger war pasls'
Notwithstanding the persistent move
ment for disarmament and permanent
peace through arbitration.
1--WE are never going to have time
again in case Of a foreign war TO tram
men for service after an emergency call.
said General Wood We must have a
reserve or we are going TO get thumped
the first year or two. 1t is my belief
however, that such a reserve corps
should be organized on the simplest
lines and with the least possible re-
Etrictions.
81 honestly believe this proposed
change in the enlistment term TO five
wears would be detriment to the army.
A short-term system. with reserve
force. is much better than long-tern
system which provides for no reserve.
THE regular army was never deader
than lust before the war with Spain
The officers many of them, were old and
ready for retirement. If we had been
forced TO continue the war after the
fight at Santiago we would have had -
fight with volunteers. The regular army
was finished.
This bill would serve TO increase the
number of long-term men, and 1t mas
been clearly demonstrated that such Is
not for the good Of the service. 1t
means, in my judgment, disaster to the
army. Men who keep in actual service
for years without relief are excellent for
park policemen when they retire, but
as soldiers they are not worth their
salt"
