PLAN UNIVERSAL
ARMY TRAINING
The General Sdt is Pr0par-
ing the Bill.
SOON TO GO TO CONGRESS
General Scott Again Opposes VoIun'
teer System Before House Military
Committee

teer System Before House Military
Committee.
A definite plan for universal military
training will be laid before congress
next month in the shape of bill for
mulated by the general staff of the
army, accompanied by complete esti
mates of cost as compared to the pres
ent volunteer system.
Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief
Of staff, told the house military com
mittee that work was in progress and
would require about month to com
plete. Chairman Dent said the com
mittee would be glad tu see the bill.
General Scott was subjected to a
sharp cross examination on his reiter
ated recommendation for a universal
service measure, based In part on the
results of the volunteer system as
shown In the mobilization of the ma
tional guard for border service.
MANY members, majority Of the
national guardsmen who come back
from the border, are in favor of uni
versal SERVICE" declared the chief OF
staff.
"I agree with you" Representative
Tilson said, "that voluntary military
service Is not an adequate system AMI
probably would break down In time OF
war as it has done before. The ma
tional guard in particular is economi
cally unwise because of the dual con
troll of the forces by the federal gov
ernment and the state"
Taking up the report on the mobili
zation of the guard, which General
Scott presented to support his arraign
ment of any volunteer system, Repre-
sentative Tilson said:
Don't you think, general, that ir
view Of the enormously greater task
Of the regular service as the agent
which conducted the mobilization, the
regular army fell down harder in pro
portion than the national guard?"
1--WE make many criticisms of our
Selves" General Scctt said, adding that
a report on the army's share in the
mobilization already had been asked
for and would be presented.
"That is what I want to appear 1r
this record" said Repres ontative TIL
son, because I want to show that nc
set of officers, no matter how wei
trained, could make this nationa.
euard system work"
Representative McKellar declared
he was zone American" who did mo-
wish to follow the example Of Ger
many and France in raising and train
ing armies.
The probable nature of the. bill now
being drafted by committee of the
general staff was not disclosed by Gen
eral Scott, who also refused to esti
mate the cost Of such system, excep'
to say that proportionately it would bt
much less than the expenses of the
volunteer method Of training troops
It is known however, that the posi-
bility of welding into the new projeci
the various sections of the defense acl
dealing with industrial organizations
for war purposes, tie right t. ke ovel
and operate manufacturing plants, rail
ways and other peace time agencies, Is
under consideration. Secretary Baker
told the committee recently he was
undecided as between universal mill
tary service and a system of selective
conscription, the latter plan being un
derstood to include the industrial, as
well as the military services.

CENTRAL METHODISTS
TO BUILD NEW CHURCH

Architect Lockwood, of Column
bus, was in the city Thursday
comforting with the Board OF
Stewards of the Central NJ. f.
church in regard to building a
new church at the corner of Cen
trail and Lee. The church has
long been in need of larger quar-
tiers, the congregation having out
grown its present house of wor-
ship, which was built about sew
enteen years ago and was for a
number of years the largest
church in the city. The members
OF this church propose to build an
annex in the rear of the present
location, planned so that the main
structure can be built later to CON
form to the general plan upon
which the annex will be built.
Mr.. Lockwood presented his
plans to the Board, who had TAX
Ell the entire matter under advise
ment and will make a report to
the members of the Central NJ. +.
Church at an early date.

ANOTHER MANUFACTURE
Err TO GIVE FULL PAY
TO SOLDIER EMPLOYEES

Full pay while absent; at least
as good a position when they re-
turn as they are leaving; and the
company's thanks for their readi-
ness to do their duty-such is the
treatment accorded those employ
ees of the General Roofing Man
ufacturing Company, who have
been called to serve with the col
ors in the National Guard.
This company, manufacturers
of the widely advertised Certain
iced Products, has twenty-ons
sales offices, four factories and
about twenty-five warehouses ov-
er the country. Officials at the
home Office in St. Louis could
give no estimate of the number of
men in their employ who would
be called or what their going
would cost the company in con-
tlnulng their salaries although it
was thought that this might be a
considerable item.
1t is as little as we can fairly
do for these men," was the word
sent by the President of the COM
pany, George NJ. Brown, who is
spending the summer at Oyster
Bay, Long Island: Mr.. Brown
has been consistently in the front
rank III St. Louis and in the Mid
die West in advocating prepared
ness for defense. AS chairman of
the St. Louis branch of the Nat
lonal Security League he was an
lnstlgator and prime mover in the
great preparedness parade in St.
Louis on June 3rd. He is a grad
uate of West Point and his opin-
ion on matters pertaining to the
country's defense is as much re-
spected as is his judgment in the
affairs of the company which he
has directed with such remark
able success. Mr.. Brown looks
forward to universal service when
such circumstances as now con-
front the nation will find every
man fit and ready to Immediately
take his place.

Cooperating $40 and 25c stores
throughout tina South have leased

and the 25-foot front on Pine

entrances and show windows on
both streets.

tative, arrived here last week and
will take personal charge of the
opening and organization. In a
personal interview with the wri-
ter Mr.. Keller detailed few in
teresting facts regarding the 5
and l0c business and his compa-
pany's plans for the Fitzgerald
store.
About 10000 items compose the
assortment, making, in fact, de-
partment store in the full sense
of the name, the various articles
come from many sovereign COM
panies and areNgathered together
by the firms buyers into their
New York warehouse and then
distributed to the different stores
on the managers order, while the
of the merchandise is of
domestic manufacture, Mr.. Keller
states that it's the addition Of for
elgn made item that distinguish
the syndicate store from its indie
pendent brother. This and the
further fact that syndicate stores
have asnumber of representatives
always in the New York market
to deal direct with the large man
utacturers and manufacturers
agents for. a seasons needs give
them decided advantage in both
cost prices and values over the
merchant forced to deal through
wholesale and jobbing houses.
The Fitzgerald store has about
500 linear feet of shelving and a
little over 400 feet of counters and
contrary to the general belief,
$4,000 to $4,000 will be invested
in the store. A force of from Is
to 20 salesladies will be constant
ly employed besides the manager,
his assistant and stock keeper
and store porter. With the ex-
'ception of the manager, this force
will be made up entirely of local
people. Many applications have
already been received and TN
doubtedly many are still to come,
as there is plenty of time between
now and July %, the date set for
public inspection. : July 10Th the
store will open for inspection with
the numerous customary big bar
gains and opening day specials.
