General Motors Direc.
tor Dispels RumOr of
Chevrolet Deal

Those most familiar with the af.
fairs OF the General Motors Co. are
not paying any attention To the
stories which have again been start
ed by eastern papers OF a pending
consolidation between General
Motors and Chevrolet.
The General Motors Co. elected
its new board OF directors and that
board instructed President Nash TO
say publicly that no consolidation OF
any sort was being considered" says
Emory W. Clark. vicepresldent of
the company. THAT was 60 days
ago. That expressed the attitude of
the present board OF directors and
that board Is elected for year.
don't see as there is anything fur
ther TO say"
II is known that w. c. Durant.
who Is reputeI 10 be the largest In
dividual holder of General Motors
stock by quite a margin, has con-
consistent purchases have had much
to do with keeping up the stock and
sending il higher. Bu; IL he owned
90 per cent OF the stock he could
not get rid of the present board OF
directors until their terms expire
and they have gone on record as
against any further consolidation.
In addition, il is pointed out that.
with Chevrolet capitalized at s20,.
100000 and General Motors at s3l,.
100000, ii would be almost impossi-
bic 10 arrange a basis OF consolida-
tion that would give Chevrolet its
proper relativs value without dis
crediting its capitalization or entire
ly revamping that OF General Motors.

But These Trained Sol

Far and Wide
MANY FORMER
SERVICE MEN
Graduates of Military
Schools Swell
Ranks

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-There
are a million men IN the United
States who could respond to the col
ors in some form OF military useful
ness, II the call came.
These are national guardsmen and
ex-national guardsmen still OF mill
tary age; sx-regular army men now
in civil Life: the majority OF the
Spanish War Veterans and men who
have received training under author
lied army oficers IN universities.
There also are young men drilled
under military men In high and pri-
vate schools, and ex-United States
marines who have had land training.
Oficers Of the United States army
admit this would be a highly con-
venient army nucleus In time or
emergency, but the government
doesn't know where any OF these
men are except the national guards
men.
Roughly estimated there are 5OO.-
900 national Ruardsmen and ex-na-
tional gcardsmen; over l75,00o army
and navy alumni between 10000
and 100000 Spanish War veterans
and $4,000 college cadets.
War department figures show
there are now s,705 officers and 12o.
s93 enlisted men in the national
guard. In the Spanish war 22S,2S5
volunteer officers and enlisted men
served. In she colleges last year,
there were $4,000 who had drill, and
In the last 10 years 80 900 men have
been graduated who had been train.
ed two years. Figures for ten years
behind that easily make up the esti-
mated total of $4,000, army officers
say.
As to the regular army alumni
an average of $4,000 fails to re-en'
list each year. The total for 1914
was 1899. Even with the loss
through deaths since discharge, in
capacitation,- removal to other coun
tries and old age, the figures for q
years should he 175,0oo to 100000
men.
Recent plans OF enlistment in the
war department call for three years
with the coobrs and four in reserve
Before that, once q mans term Of
enlistment was up, the government
gave no more attention to him.
