OF the house of commons at IL o'clock
tonight amid long cheers.
Walter Hume Long, president Of
the local government board, in
speech closing the discussion, said he
desired to remove the impression that
under the bill the government was
creating great monster in the form,
of a military. machine which would

Philip Snowden, the Socialist mem.

opponent Of the bill, paid a warm
tribute to the generous way the bill
had been piloted through the house
by Andrew Bonar Law and Mr.. Long.
Mr. Bonar Law then expressed the
grateful thanks OF himself and Mr.
Long to all sections for the restraint
shown in committee.
John Dillon, Nationalist, added that

GARRISON PLAN APPROVED.
MILITARY EXPERTS INDORSE
CONTINENTAL ARMY.
Scott and Bliss Point to Value of
Scheme and to Impracticability OF
Other Plans Advocated.

L.
support was given Secretary Garrison's
continental army before the senate
military committee by Maj. Gen. Scott
and Maj. Gen. Bliss, respectively chief
and assistant chief Of staff of the
army. Both amplifled statements
made on the same subject last week
before the house committee.
Gen. Scott declared the plan would
save at least five months time in
building an army of defense in a war
emergency. He advocated Immediate
organization Of a reserve corps of off,
GERS actually commissioned and as
signed to the posts they would take in
time Of war.
Gen. Scott also urged that quar-
termasters' reserve corps of enlisted
men be formed to include mechanics
Of all kinds. telegraphers. radio op-
orators. drivers railway men and the
like. A representative of the Ameri-
can Legion. he said, had told him re-
Gently that $1,000 men of his sort had
been listed by the organization as will
ing to enlist in such corps.
Both generals expressed the opin-
lon that universal military service was
the only Ideal democracy" method of
building an army, but army officers
thought the country would not toll
crate the proposition.
Discussing the details Of the various
bills under consideration. Gen. Bliss
said that proposed by the war depart
ment was the only one which ap-
peared satisfactory or contemplated q
definite policy. The war college d.
vision Of the general staff, he said,
has fixed 100000 men. more or less
trained. as the irreducible minimum
necessary for the countrys safety in
lthe first shock OF war.
The proposal to Increase the regu.
iar army to 25e.ooo as suggested in
Senator chamberlain's tentative bill,
he added, was wholly Inadequate by
litseif. Moreover he added. it was
linpossible q recruit : 'latksr forcs
tttlan I ,eee men.s- a. proposed by
Isectetaryf Garrison for the regular
army, without increasing pay or 9TH
erwise giving added inducements.
| He read report from the adiutant
general declaring that it would be i'm
possible to recruit even 100000 men
In peace times and that the average
maximum force that could be main
ltained was only $4,000. Recruits
now costs the government 500 per
man, delivered to their regiments, the
general said. He disapproved short
enlistment terms to build up a regu.
lar service. saying this would make It
necessary to recruit 10000 or more
men annually.
I Discussing the continental army
plan, Gen. Bliss said it contemplated
I246 batteries of artillery, which alone
would be worth all that may be ex.
pended. The day had passed when
field guns are manoeuvred to any ex-
tent. he said, and no consideration
need be given to the question of pro-
viding horses for the guns.
Questioning both witnesses, Chair.
man Chamberlain brought out the
statement that the bill prepared by
Secretary Garrison had never been
submitted to the war college division
or the general staff. Gen. Scott point
ed out. however. that the continen.
tai plan had been approved by the
war college in it's report to the secre-
