Third.-That the rate OF payment or

An Army of Five Million Men
for United States in Two Years

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service1
WASHINGTON, Dec. ia United
States army of five million men In
two years was forecasted today by
Chairman Chamberlain Of the senate
military affairs committee in state
ment urging compulsory service.
After going over his citizen army
bill, with army officers, the senator
estimated that 2,31S.SS3 men between
eighteen and twenty-three would be
trained under 1t the first year and
that the increase of those coming
into the army from cadet classes
would more than double it the second
year. Thereafter, the increase prob
ably would be in proportion to the
increase in population.
Compulsory service is an idea We
must come to-" said Senator Cham
berlain. ''It is nothing less than
downright murder for the nation to
continue plan which may at any
day send unframed troops against the
skilled veterans of other nations.
THE people must be educated to
see that this plan or some plan like

ficers, could quickly give good &C
count Of themselves.
II believe that in time the system
would lead to the abolition Of the reg
ular army altogether. We would have
simply skilled officers and a vast
number of fairly prepared men. The
Swiss have no standing army.
''The men themselves would be
greatly benefited by the exercise and
training" Chamberlain continued. II
believe the plan would prolong the
life of the average american man
many years. And with SO short a
time of service each year, there would
be no danger of arousing the mill
taristic spirit so called
The estimate of 100000 In two
years is based on the theory that so
per cent of the eligible male popula-
tion would be able on some plea to
get excused from service.
Senator Chamberlain plans also to
give additional financial aid to schools
and colleges which train cadets.
