then proceeded to wire to New York

WAsHINcToN's PLAN.

Georxe Washington, first president
Of the United States In his first special
message 10 congress. urged the passage
of laws looking toward national pre-
paredness against war. Washington De-
,ieved that the best sort Of insurance
against war, was readiness to proper
" defend the country II war came
With that end in view. he suggested
q universal military training plan and
had congress passed laws in accord
ance with Washington's request THIS
nation would not now be forced TO
beat the highways and bye-ways to
get oficers to lead the regulars IN
our small standing army and the
puardsmen who recently were militia
men The first president earnestly
believed that ut Is a capital security
to a FREQ state for the great body OF
the people to possess competent
knowledge Of military art
Washington's plan, which by the
way he modestly credited to his sec
rotary of war, was as follows:
"All citizens between IS and 60,
with specified exceptions, to be en-
rolled for different degrees Of military
duty and divided into three distinct
classes: the youth of Is, 10 and 20
wears Of age, the advanced corps;
tho men from q to IS years Of age,
the main corps; the men from as to
60 years of age, the reserve corps.
"The advanced corps are designed
mt only as a school In which the
Youth Of the United States are to be
instructed in the art Of war, but they
ara in all cases Of exigence, to serve
"A an actual defense Of the commun.
,tv The whole Of the armed corps
sha,, be clothed, armed and subsisted
1t tho expense Of the United States.
and encamped together il practicable,
or by legions, which encampments
shall be denominated the annual
CAMPS of discipline. The youth OF
IL and 10 years shall be disciplined
for 80 days successivsly in each year;
and those OF 20 years shall be dis.
ciplined only for 10 days in each year.
which shall be the last 10 days Of the
annual encampment"
Under this plan Of Washington's
military training and service were to
be the price paid by the citizen for
the right to vote and hold public Of
nee. Having rendered the required
service the young man was to be
given . certificate of full and honor
able citizenship, and without that cer4
tihoate he could not vote or hold any
position of public preferment.
Congress failed to enact the Wash
ington bill, but passed instead the
militia law of 1892, which affirmed
60 principles Of universal liability to
military services, but neglected to
put that principle into effect. 1t de-
clared that every able-bodied male
citizen between the ages of IS and
As was a member of the militia. Those
voluntarily enrolling and training
were termed the organized militia and
the great body of unframed citizen
ship the organized militia.
