Organize at Peace Strength.


All of these new commands would be
organized at peace strength. Ade-
quate supplies of small arms and field
guns and howitzers and of reserve am
munition for the enlarged establish
ment would be sought.
| The plan is erected on the theory that
the nation must depend upon a citizen
| army, largely of a volunteer character.
| in time of war. There are many hun
dreds of thousands of young men. it is
| said, who have both the time and the
! inclination to devote at least two
| months year to rigid and intensive
| military training. and the continental
army -HiAiild be composed of these. leav-
| ing to the National Guard those citi-
| zens whose responsibilities prevent
! their devoting more than one night a
week or so to military service.
| With six months of actual field train
| ing, army officers are confident that the
| continental army would he as thor
| oughly organized Is possible with
| any system short of compulsory serv-
| ice and a regular establishment Of half
| a million men.
Officers for the new army would be
| obtained from civil life almost entire
| ly. as the West Point Military Academy
would be overtaxed even to supply Of
| ficers for the increased regular army.
| Even at present not more than half of
! the officers of the army are West
Point graduates. and an extension of
the work a West Point would be re-
| quired to care for the new regiments
| to be created.
Continental Army Program.
| For the continental army, the plan
contemplates drawing from the Ma
| tional Guard and from educational in
stitutions where military training is
compulsory at least 1000 officers a. year
for each of the first two years. Event
| ually 1t is hoped that all military
schools in the. country can be stand
ardiZed as to their courses in engineer
| ing and other military sciences. These
courses would become a speciality, 1t is
believed. IL a given number of ranking
graduates each year were assured of
commissions in the continental army.
The new army would be organized in
convenient geographical divisions and
on the theory that it's members could
be citizens of the districts in which
the divisions are located.
To Select Points for Mobilization.
Regular places OF mobilization and
for storage Of equipment for each COM
pany would be provided. and every
man Of the force would know where
to go and what he was expected To
"o "hen call 10 arms came Fhe
six-year enlistment contract wduld
bind him to answer any call to 1.-THE
colors, regardless of any personal{ af
fairs with which 1t might interfere.
While under training the men of the
continental army would receive the
regular army pay.
In the beginning tfss new army would
be organized by companies and latel
would be constituted into regiments
brigades. divisions and army corps q,
they developed in the various sections
OF the country.

BRYAN WARNS AGAINST
TALK Of A BOND ISSUE
Says Preparedness Advocates Are
Trying to Brighten Money
Out of People.

william Jennings Bryan's fight
against larger appropriations for an
adequate national defense was opened
by him last night by the issuance of a
statement, closely following the OBJ
tanning Of news from the executive de-
partments giving an outline of the
plans for increased appropriations for
the army and navy for the next fiscal
year The former Secretary of State
warns the country against the talk of
bond issue to meet the greatly in
creased expenditures made necessary
by greater army and navy Pointing
a finger at the coming election. Nr.
Bryan says:
Talk of a bond issue is cheap. 1t Is
iaduIged in by newspapers that do not
have to submit their views to the
voters. But such talk would be expen-
sive to a candidate for office. And all
congressman who vote upon the ques-
tion will have to come before the voters
if they continue in public life"
Greedy for Profit.
Mentioning no names, Mr.. Bryan de-
clared that the "preparers of prepared
ness and the manufacturers of NUM-
tions are trying to frighten money out
ed that they were so greedy for profit
that they would not hesitate to involve
us in a foreign war
II do not care to discuss the esti-
mates for the army and navy appropri-
ations until the President has made his
formal recommendations" said Mr.
Bryan MY view has been stated re-
peated1y, but if a restatement is de-
sired am willing to be quoted as say
ing that l see no reason why the ap-
propriations for the army and navy
they were about s250,o00.000 = ten
times the appropriations for agrfcul-
ture.
Il regard the attempt now being
made to force this country into compe-
tition with the European nations in
preparing for war as not only without
any Justification whatever. but as en-
bodying false philosophy which is
not only contrary to the moral stand
ards of this country but a menace to
our peace and safety.

courage to oppose the tariff barons, the
trust magnates and the money power.

paredness and the manufacturers OF

"In former contests only domestic

profit that they would not hesitate to
involve us in a foreign war. And yet

terloo when they propose their plan
for raising the revenues necessary for

To Urge Bad Check Law.

The association decided to renew it's
efforts to bring about the enactment of
a bad check law. and will cooperate
with other trade bodies of Washington
looking to this end.
Fake auction sales were scored by
several members. Secretary Columbus
reported that the corporation counsel
has drafted bill prohibiting such
sales. which probably will be intro
duced at the coming session Of Con-
gress.
Provision was made for the appoint
ment of a committee to wage a cru
sade against the use in the District Of
coupons and certificates such as are
given away with tobacco and other ar
ticles. Members of the association look
upon these coupons and certificates as
virtually the same as trading stamps,
the use Of which has been decided by
the corporation counsel of the District
to be illegal. The corporation counsel
is now Investigating the legality Of
using coupons. If he should decide that
the practice is legal. the association in
tends to ask Congress for remedial
