MILITARY SERVICE BY COMPULS|ON NOT. THOUGHT ADVISABLE
Chairman of House Com mittee Thinks Congress Would Not Favor Con-
 pulsory Legislation

New York, September 20.--A statement by Representative James Hay of vir- ginia, chairman of the house committee on military affairs. in which he ex- pressed the belief that Congress would not view favorably any legislation look ing to compulsory military service was given out here tonight by the National Security league. The league announced that MT Hays views were obtained by a representative of that organization in Washington and made public for the first time since the question of military pre- paredness had been agitated throughout the country.
 Chairman Hay is quoted as saying he would be guided in large measure "by the Presidents views. because I believe he is broad enough to consider the interests of the entire people and wise enough to submit plans which will be efficient with out adding too largely to our burden of taxation.
 He agrees, he says, with the President that our citizen soldiery should be given more attention
 The chairman suggests it might be proper to encourage enlistment in the Ma uonal Guard by paying it's members 9 per cent of the amount paid to regular soldiers which would be $50 year This. he estimated, would. cost the United States sS,0oo.00O additional to the present army expense for the first year
 It may be wise also, Chairman Hay is quoted as saying. "to increase the field artillery, now consisting of six regiments to twice that number as the war in Flu rope has demonstrated that this is a most potent arm of the service
 With a standing army of 91,0o0, as now enlisted, Chairman Hay says, the present cost is $l2O, O,O0OOO0 year while the full strength of the army of 10000 in addition to the pay of the National Guard would cost $40 100000
 An army of 5O0,O00, which some people advocate, he said, would mean an ex pense to the government of s70O 600, GOO a year"
