 Summarized, this new national army would be constituted as follows:

 The basic idea of the program is said to enjoy wide sympathy and sup port and the plan is expected to come up for serious consideration in one form or another when the present cri- sis is past.
 In a talk with the correspondent of The Associated Press, the secretary of the association laid special stress on the fact that the women must also be organized and tra1ned to cooperate, presumably largely in Red Cross work.
 Apart. from it's propaganda! activi- ties, the National Defense association has been instrumental in raising near ly 10000 volunteer L.andstrum troops to reinforce the modified army.
 Since it's birth in 1899 the organiza- tion has provided extensive facilities for rifle practice and the requirement of other military arts, furthered gym nastic and athletic clubs, trained wo- men for Red Cross work. and founded summer training camps.
