training. as a substitute for the volun-
teer system was discussed yesterday
before the House Military Committee
by Major General Scott. Chief Of
STAFF of the Army.
General Scott told the committee
that the United States would need an
army of nearly 100000 men in the
event of war. It developed durins

100000 men i'm the country between

country would need an army was
questioned by Representative An

in a second within so days.
what would become of the r..

The General said that If they wero
well established, with adequate big
guns. they would be hard to dislodge
before reinforcement arrived. France
he added could send 100000 men In

$4,000.
General Scott disclosed that the
