Supporters Of this plan point out
that it would be useless to 90 10

is to remain at Copenhagen until
peace advocates Of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark decide 10 give their

CITIZEN ARMY IS
HELD IMPOSSIBLE
GarriSon'S Plan is Not Expect
ed to be Included in
Measure.

WASHINGTON. Dec %. - The
Garrison continental army" plan
will not be incorporated in the army
bill when it is reported 10 the house,
unless there is a complete change of
sentiment among military affairs
committee members, even among
those favoring a much larger force
than is advocated by the admins
tration.
The war department admitted to-
day that great objection 20 the plan
is increasingly evident. The chief
objection is the conviction on the
part of the army officers that train
ing the citizen soldiery only two
months each year could not possibly
result in making them fit TO back up
the standing army in case Of neces-
sity Another argument raised
against the plan by military experts
is the training would be of little or
no value except under the direct and
continuous direction of regular army
officers. In the present state of
the military blishment, this
would be impossible.
Most of the committeeman who
are opposed to the plan for these
reasons have no other plan TO offer,
but profess TO be open-minded and
will be guided by the suggestions
given the committee by the recog-
nized military authorities and gen.
eral officers who will be summoned
TO appear before it. At present these
officers are restricted from vOicing
their plans publicly. an order to this
effect having gone broadcast
