Old Army Navy Officials
Rejoice Over New Society

New York, March l.-Former army
and navy men throughout the nation,
according to reports received here TO-
iav. are iubiIant over last night 5 an
nouncement of the formation of an or
ganization df first reserves, to be
known as American Legion, to be com
posed of retired army and navy men,
The plan is intended to better insure
America s preparedness in case OF war
The plan was announced by captain
Gordon Johnston, aide de camp to Ma
ior General Leonard Wood, command
ing the department of the east. 1t is
proposed, according to Captain johnson
to establish first reserve of between
100000 and 100000 former army and
navy men and militia men for instant
call in case of emergency.
In addition to General Wool and eX'
President Roosevelt, numerous otner pub
lie men are said to have endorsed the
movement In letter to the Organiz'
ers of the plan, Colonel Roosevelt said:
81 and my four sons will gladly be-
come members. very earnestly hope
and pray that there will be no war.
But the surest way to avoid war is to
be prepared for it; and the only way
to avert disaster and disgrace in war IS
bv preparation both military and naval,
in advance.
".ln the event of war should ask
permission of congress to raise a divis-
ion of cavalry; that is, nine regiments
such as the regiment commanded in
Cuba; aud unquestionably the ranks of
these regiments would largely be filled
from the men of the Legion. -
