Bostcn, Oct. 20.-A. Lawrence. pres ident of Harvard university. and Charles w. Eliot, its president ener- itus, today took issue with those who would carry military preparedness in- to the grammar schools. Military drills in these schools. President Low ell said at a hearing before a legis- lative committee, were of no import ance whatever in the development of soldiers and the teaching of military history, he thought while of some value in the high schools. would be useless among boys in the lower grades. He opposed any plan of drafting young men into the militia
 Cooperate in Education of Officers.
 The great need of the United States army at the present times Dr. Lowell thought, was a sufficient number of officers. He believed the colleges could and would cooperate in the ed- ucation of such officers. Harvard, he added, would be glad of an opportu- nifty to take part in the work.
 Army Spirit is UnAmeriean.
 Dr. Eliot said that his objection to military drill in the public schools was based principally on the fact that it was a bad form of physical exercise The army spirit, he asserted. was un- American, an insistence on implicit obedience meant subJection to anoth- CTS will and that, he held, was not a good way to train young Americans He opposed compulsory service and said he felt the chance that this coun- try would be called to defend itself was very remote.

ENDORSEMENT OF PLANS
 FOR CONTINENTAL ARMY
By Large Employing Firms and Cor
 porations.

Washington. Oct. 20.-Endorsements of the administrators plan to create a great continental army for defense are beginning to reach Washington from large employing firms and cor porations. It was learned tonight that approving letters had been received from several such concerns, and that at least one had expressed willingness to grant its men leave on full pay for service in the proposed organization.
 Enlistments in the continental army as contemplated in Secretary Garri- sons programme, would be for six years, but the men actually would be required to serve only two months a year for the first three years during which time they would undergo inten- sive military training in field camps. Officials realize that the success of the scheme depends to a considerable extent on cooperation with the gov- ernment by employers of the country's young men.
 One of the companies heard from wrote that it gladly would grant leave with pay to any of it's men desiring to enlist.

Hav- ing this conviction, we believe the friends of Russia should subordinate. their differences and unite in friendly, loyal service to the country, in our national danger.
 We appeal to worldngmen, peas ants. artisans clerks-in short, all who eat by the sweat of their brow, who suffer material want. who suffer po- litical oppression, all who are trying to attain a better future for them selves and their children"
