UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING
NOW BEING PLANNED
General Stan OF the Army Will Also
Submit Complete Estimate OF Cost.
Washington, Dec. 2l.-A definite
plan for universal military training
will be laid before congress next
month in the shape Of a bill formu-
lated by the general staff of the army
accompanied by cdmplete estimates
of cost as compared to the present
volunteer system. Major General
Scott, chief of staff, told the house
military committee today that the
work was in progress and would re-
quire about month to complete
Chairman Dent said the committee
would be glad to see the bill.
In response to a laughing question
as to who Would introduce it in the
house, Representative Karn of Cali
the honor to introduce it,"
General Scott was subjected to
sharp cross examination today on his
reiterated reiteration for a universal
service measure, based in part on re-
suits Of the volunteer system as shown
| in the mobilization of the national
guard for border service Five Of
| the twenty-five members Of the COM
mittee took occasion to assert their
belief in the theory Of universal SER
vice while two emphatically declared
against scch a system
Representative Tilson, himself a col
onel in the national guard, followed
General Scott's repeated assertion
that the liberalization of the nation
al guard would not meet the countrys
military needs, said:
81 agree with you that voluntary
military service is not an adequate
System and probably would break
down in time Of war as it has done
before. The national guard system
n particular is economically unwise
because Of the dual control over the
forces by the federal government and
the state.
Taking up the report on the mobil-
zation of the guard, Representative
Tilson asked:
Don't you think that in view of
the enormously greater task of the
regular service as the agent which
conducted the mobilization, the rcgu-
lar army fell down harder in proper
ton than the national guard?"
"Wc make many criticisms of ourA
selves General Scott said, adding
that report on The armys share
in trc mobilization already had been
asked for and would be presented.
THAT is what want to appear in
| his record" said Representative Til
son, because want to show that nc
sci of officers. no matter how we'll
trained could make this national
guard system work"
| The probable nature Of the bill now
being drafted by committee Of the
general staff was not disclosed by
General Scott, who also refcsed to
estimate the cost Of such a system

would be much less than tre expense

There is a prognostication that appor-

THE ADVENTURES OF
PUSS IN BOOTS, JR,
By DAVID CORY,
Puss Finds Rapunxel.

For long time the Prince, Puss Junior
and Tom Thumb continued their journey.
When finally. they came to the edge OF
the forest they saw a huge desert which
stretched before them as far as the eve
could reach.
The poor blind Prince, alhough he saw
not the hot burning sands, felt the hot
wind that blew towards him Where
are we?" he asked.
On the edge of vast desert, your
Highness," replied Puss Junior. The
Prince made no reply. but stood for
some time in deep thought. Tom Thumb
VINO had wandered off a considerable
distance, suddenly shouted loudly, IT see
camels approaching. Let us lay in wait.
Perhaps we may be able to lay hold of
them and make them carry US across the
sandy sea.
As the camels drew nearer, our three
travellers saw that there were Just three
Of them, one apiece. They are called
the ships of the desert, cried Tom
Thumb. Il would get aboard, If kind
fate SO Wills"
This turned out to be the case for
the three camels stopped before our
three travellers and knelt down on the
sand. Puss Junior helped the blind
Prince to mount, for, strange to say,
each animal was saddled after the
fashion of the desert. Tom Thumb
had great difficulty in mounting his
beast, for Tom hardly could see over
one hoof. to say nothing of the great
body. Puss came to his assistance.
however, and lifted him up as high as
he could. Whereupon Tom seized hold
OF strap which was fastened to the
saddle and drew himself up. When all
were seated, they gave the word to the
camels who arose to their fet and set
on across the desert at a good pace.
"Hurrah! l never rode a camel be-
fore" cried Tom Thumb. "I once had
for noble steed beautiful butterfly.
But camel-well, that's the latest
mount for your little friend"
Presently an oasis was seen some
distance ahead. A cIump of palm
trees surrounded a bubbling spring.
and the green grass grew tall and
sweet. On drawing nearer, to their
surprise they beheld a maiden gazing
towards them. Suddenly, she gave a
loud cry and ran forward. On hearing
the voice. the Prince gave a loud shout
OF JOY. "Rapunzei! Rapunzeiw he
cried. Soon she was folded in his
arms, and Puss Junior and Tom Thumb b
stood near in respectful silence.
Rapunzel was so nappy at finding
her Prince that tears or joy fell from
her eyes. Some of her tears touched
his blind eyes and they grew clear
again, and he could see with them as
before. He then placed ner upon his
amel and inviting Puss and Tom to
accompany him, led the way to his
castle which they reached safely that
very evening.
