WILL SUBMIT APLAN
FOR MILITARY TRAINING
Col. Webb c. Hayes Of the Ohio Ma
tional Guard to Appear Before
Senate Committee.

A plan for universal military train
ing for the young men Of this country
will be submitted to the Senate mill
tary affairs committee by Col Webb c.
Hayes Of the Ohio National Guard soon
after the Christmas recess of Congress
Senator Harding of Ohio said today.
Under this plan it is proposed to ere
ate trained military citizenship from
which to draw such forces as NAV he
needed by enrolling all young men sew
enteen years old and training them
three months each summer for four sue
cessIve years. 1t is estimated that
about 100000 boys reach the age of
seventeen each year. After about SO
per cent had been exempted for one
cause or another. about 1900 would be-
come available for strict military serv-
ice in each of the 435 congressional dis
tr1cts each year This would constitute
In the first year minimum regiment,
two regiments in the second year three
in the third. and thereafter a brigade
Of 4,S00 young men to be trained an
nually in each congressional district.
Advantages Of Proposed System.
The advantages Of such a system. il
was explained tsaay, are that in the
course of time every able-bodied male
in the country over twenty-one years
of age will have had four years OF in
tensive military training. and this re-
suit will be obtained with the least
possible Interference with school and
college courses, and with business
farming and labor conditions
The men will be taken at an age
when they are unmarried and not vet
settled in business, and the course of
training will be completed before
man reaches his twenty-first birthday.
when he must take up the responsibili-
ties of civil life. If war compels the
calling out for active service of this
trained citizenship. the classes then in
training. will 41be first drawn upon. and
next those who, have raost recently
completed their training. thus taking
IN order those best trained and with
the least. family Responsibilities. !
