For Army Reform.

The Vermont national guard should
be interested III the plans of Secre-
tary Garrison of the war department
for the Improvement OF the regular
army and military.
The secretary desires to draw closer
together the national guard and
the federal government through using
officers of the army as instructors and
inspectors OF the citizen soldiery, and
he is reported to have adopted salts

equipping and training volunteers
when they are needed.
As to the regular force, Secretary
Garrison has declared himself in
favor OF Gen. Wood 5 plan for the
creation of an army reserve. He
stands for the short term of service
with the eolors so as TO train more
men in shorter periods and turn them
back into civil life to pursue civil
activities. Enlistments under the

would be for seven wears with a
maximum of three years with the

Wilson and Newspaper Men.
(St. Adams Messenger

Asoi. 3IDdnS messenger.
President Wilson means to give two
hours of his time each week to the
newspaper men stationed in Washington
to tell them OF his plans and to out
line what he proposes to do. Much
% what he has to say viii be OF Il
confidential nature and will be intend
ed only TO give them the information
needed to correct discussion of cur
rent affairs, that they may properly
link what is happening today with
what probably will occur tomorrow.
The president wishes so to equip the
members Of the Fourth Estate that
they may give the people better
statement Of affairs in the light of
Fuller knowledge.
It may seem strange to the Iayman
that much of what the president will
say is to he confidential, to be used
only in its application to present af-
fairs. But the president is making no
mistake. The real newspaper man
hates confidence breaker, and one
who ignores such a tie cannot long
remain in the newspaper game. It
has been said that a newspaper man
knows far more than he tells, and,
when taken in the way it was meant,
this statement is true.
