# is known that the continental

of the population Of the district liable
for military service.
Advocates of the administration
plan say that the 100000 men with
the colOrs and 100000 reserve pro-
posed to be produced within six years
will not constitute force adequate
to the needs of the nation, and they
do not contend that the proposed two
months of intensive training a year
for three years is sufficient to make
a soldier.
As matter of fact, they do not
believe it is possible to secure more
than thirty days training annually un-
der a purely volunteer system.
Regarded as Preparatory Move.
1t is an open secret that the plan is
regarded by its trainers in its present

way to a decision by the people at

whole plan topping of its own weight.
I There is no difference, except in
the number of men and amount of

secretary's proposals and those of the
war college division of the general
staff. The general result that all
authorities are agreed upon Is the
fundamental soundness of the idea of
the continental army scheme which
er,hodies the central idea of placing
the national defense in the hands of
the nation instead of under the con-
troll of forty-eight state governments.
