Major General Bliss. respectively ehiei
and assistant chief Of staff Of the

made on the subject last week before

mediate organization Of . reserve
corps Of officers actually commissioned
and assigned 10 the posts they would
take in time Of war. General Scott

sentative az the American Legion. he
said. had told him recently that ssi6. 900
men Of this sort had been listed By the
organization who were willing to en-
list In such . corps.
Both Of the generals expressed the
opinion that universal military service
was the only ideal democratic" meth
Cd Of building an army, but thought
the country would not tolerate the pro-
posal now. General Bliss said it was
only talked Of By army officers as an
academic question on this account

bills under consideration. General Bliss
said that the measure proposed By the
War department was the only one
which appeared satisfactory or which
seemed 70 contemplate definite pol
icy. The War college division Of the
General STAFF, he said, has fixed 500,
700 men, Vaore or less trained, as the
rredneible minimum necessary for the
safety in the first shock Of
var.
The proposal 10 increase the regular
lrmy to 260, 900 as suggested in Sem

ary Garrison for the regular army.
Eifhout increasing pay or otherwise
