URGES PASSAGE
Of ARMY BILL
War Department Feels AIDE
quate Foundation Must be
Laid For Citizen Army.

Washington. D. c., Dec. est has
become known that the war depart
ment viii urge upon congress the
necessity for passing an army bill
which shall define the military policy
of the United States and lay the foun-
I dalton for the creation of a large citi-
zen army. 1t is also learned authOri-
tatively that the administrators army
plan is designed to operate either IN
der the volunteer or universal service
systems.
It is known that the continental
army plan is regarded in its present
form by its trainers as a prepare tory
measure. paving the way to a decision
by the people at large for or against
universal military service. In determine
ing his plan secretary Garrison is
known to have consulted every general
officer of the active army and many
officers of lower rank. The virtually
unanimous opinion of the commissioned
personnel of the army as well as the
civil officials of the war department,
ness can only be secured on the basis
of universal service.
War department officials however.
will devote their efforts at present
toward securing a foundation upon
which such features as universal serV-
ice, the general STAFF idea of scientific
control, and an extended period of
training for the men. may be superim-
posed, fearing that an attempt to Sc
cure all at once without sufficiently
educating the public would send the
whole plan topping by its own weight.
Would Make Military Districts.
Regulations contemplated by the
trainers of the continental army plan
to put the project into effect include
the division of the country into mill
tary divisions corresponding to the
present congressional districts Each
district would be called upon for 1888
recruits annually In the event that
compulsory service is decided upon, it
would be to authorize the war depart
ment in any year when the quota Of re-
cruits from any district has not been
made up voluntarily by a pre-deter-
mined date, to draft the necessary men
Tor that purpose from the portion of
the population of the district liable for
service
Force VIII Be Inadequate.
Advocates Of the administration plan
say that the 100000 with the colors and
100000 reserve proposed to be produced
within six years will not constitute a
ton, and they do not contend that the
proposed two months Of intensive train |
ing a year, for three years, is sufficient I
to make a soldier They do not believe 1
it possible to secure more than 80 days !
training annually under a purely vol |

Would Lay Foundation.
Efforts of the department officials /

ing congress that the urgent thing is i
to get the machinery for a citizen army |
