ARMY TRAINED IN PEACEFUL

been a visitor in Los Angeles at the
Hotel Alexandria, is the happy me-
dunn between miltarism adm neglect
full unpreparedness.

Chamber of Commerce here of pro-
ject that would increase the army
without increasing the appropriations
necessary for its upkeep, and, most
important, without creating spirit
of militarism," said Mr.. Trefz today

called for an army organization that
would train the young men in the
arts of woodcraft, outdoor life, road
building, forest preservation, and Other
work of highly interesting and bene'
