Senator Gore Offers Amend
ment to Army Reorgani-
zation Measure.
WOULD TRAIN STUDENTS
Declares Plan Would Turn Out
100000 Young Soldiers Yearly.
Lewis Answers Opponents.

The debate in the Senate yesterday
on the army reorganization bill turned
upon Federal control OF the National
Guard
Senators Pomerene. Borah. and Lewis
were the speakers. The bill was laid
before the Senate when It met at noon.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, introduced
an amendment to the bill providing mill
itary instruction in schools and colleges:
Explaining his bill Senator Gore said:
There are now 1900 high schools in
the United States with an attendance
of 10000 boys. My proposal is that
whenever any high school has an en-
rollment of more than 50 boys above &c
years of age and has as a member of
its faculty an instructor qualified in the
judgment Of the Secretary OF War to
impart military instruction and training,
the general government shall pay not
exceeding twotifths OF the salary OF
such military instructor
This is. Of course. TO be done with
the consent OF the State and the school
board involved, under rules and reguIa-
lions to be prescribed by the Secretary
OF War. Under this plan 10000 or more
boys trained to arms would issue from
these schools annually. They would be
easily converted into soldiers. At the
same time they would be immersed in
the civil population and would not be sf
fected or infected with the spirit OF mill
tarism. They would not become impress
ed with the military caste. They would
be citizens first and soldiers afterward
but they would be available in case Of
national emergency
Answers Opponents.
Senator Lewis argument was directed
toward meeting the argument advanced
by Senators Nelson and Borah that the
Federal government could not exercise
control over the state militia under the
Federal constitution. He declared that
the power was coordinate and the Fed
eral government exercised it in co-ordina-
ton with the states
Senator Borah made a long constitu-
tional argument on the subject
The fathers nowhere disclosed greater
wisdom said Mr. Borah. than in those
provisions wherein they prepared the
country for defense. This was natural
in a sense. for they had just come from
the battlefield, and such men as Wash
ington and Hamilton sat in the conven-
ton They set about to concentrate the
power OF government so that those
powers could be used effectively and eff
GENTLY and successfully in all military
matters
They had no illusions about a republic
remaining at all times in a state Of
peace because of the fact that it was a
republic. They understood very thorough
ly indeed that. regardless of the form
