SECRETARY OF WAR GARRISON'S
CONTINENTAL PLAN FACES FIGHT

Washington, D. C.-While President
Wilson is carrying to the country his
appeal for adequate national defense,
one of the vital elements of the pro-
gram he has recommended to congress
the continental army-faces serious
opposition in both the senate and house
military committees.
Such an army, described by Secre-
tary Garrison as embodying the most
attractive scheme that could be de-
vised to give final test Of the prob
lem of training an adequate number of
Federal volunteers in peace times,
would be expected to provide 400, 900
men Of the total of approximately
1000, 900 which the entire plan is cal
culated to make available.
Present indications are that the con-
tinental proposal in some form will be
written into the army increase bill be-
ing prepared by the senate military
committee, although that measure will
be devoted mainly to complete re-
organization Of the regular army on a
basis Of approximately 235,00 men
with the colors, increasing Secretary
Garrison's proposals in that respect by
nearly 100, 900 men.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the senate military committee, said he
was confident his committee would
turn out without great delay we'll
rounded bill providing for all the ele-
rnents Of a national army Of 1000, 900
or more men.

Under this opinion Secretary of State
Olcott announced that he would not

While the new law does not specifi-
