FOUR SCHEME PROPOSED
Some Combination From Them Will
Form New Army Plans.

Washington. - Congressional mill,
tary committees will be confronted
with four radically different plans for
building up national defense, az urged
by President Wilson, when they settle
down to the work Of framing army
measures presented to both houses.
Aside from the administration plan
outlined in the Presidents message.
the Senate and House committees
will have before them tentative
schemes offered by Senator Chamber
lain and Representative Hay, their re-
spective chairmen, and also the plan
prepared at Secretary Garrison's d.
rection by the war college division OF
the army general staff
The Chamberlain plan contains no
mention of the continental army
scheme, which is the feature Of the
war department program, and propos-
es instead practically doubling the
standing army. The Hay scheme In
cludes the continental army proposal
though it does not contemplate all Of
the increase in the regular establish
ment also suggested, and would pro-
vide that the organized militia re-
,ceive pay from the Government on a
Scale Of one-fourth of the pay of the
regular army.
The war college plan has not been
made public. 1t is generally under
stood. however. to propose a far great
er increase in the regular army than
the administration recommendations
contemplate.
Representative Hays plan provides
for a reserve corps of officers and for
cadet companies for tie training Of
junior officers, attached to regular
regiments. Both ne and Santor Cham
berlain would give provisional COM
missions to all officers. but those grad
uated from the military academy, full
commissions to be given after a spec
flied time to officers who prove eff
ficient.
The Hay continental army scheme
provides that the 100000 men under
training during the first three years
Of their six-year enlistment shall be
called into service only with the con-
sent Of Congress and when war is in
progress or imminent
