u. S. WITHOUT PROPER
DEFENSE, SAYS SCOTT
Chief of Army Staff Again Expresses
Faith in Universal Training Plan. Z.

Despite a demonstration that his views
were unwelcome to several members, Maj.
Gen. Scott, Chief Of Staff of the army,
before the House Military Committee,
again yesterday reiterated his conviction
that the United States is today without
an adequate system of defense.
Gen. Scott said the United States should
change front on the question Of defense.
He declared the defenses of the country
are inadequate and insisted that the fault
lies with the system.
He said the National Guard has proved
a failure. In trying this out in the ma
tional defense act of the last session, the
United States has lost a whole year, In
Gen. Scott's opinion.
Universal training was indorsed BY Rep
resentatives Kahn. Farley. Tilson, olney
and Greene, and opposed by Representa-
tives Quin and McKellar.
Sketching his ideas Of ample defense.
Gen. Scott said 10000 youths attain the
age of IS every year. He would give all
Of those physically eligible, a years mil
itary service. He estimated that the num-
ber of eligibles so obtained would be less
than 10000 annually. This would be ap-
proximately the number in the pay OF the
government at one time with about S0oO.-
900 always in reserve

COLQUITT's
OPINION OF WILSON

AT the democratic primary election
in Texas, former Governor Oscar B.
Colquttt defeated Senator Gulberson
by about 81 900 votes. Governor Coll
quit made his campaign on the
ground that Woodrow Wilson has
heen the greatest failure in our his
tory. Governor Colquftt gave out an
Interview in which he said:
The Wilson administration has
been the greatest failure in the
history of the presidency. The
south is land flowing with milk
and honey 1t has made one of its
biggest and best crops in its his
tory, and yet because Of the utter
incompetency Of the government
its business is Frustrated, its cred
it impaired, and thousands of It's
people are starving"
This came, mark you, from life
long democrat seeking the democrat
lie nomination for United States SEN
ator Governor Coluuitt even goes
further and bitterly denounces the
presidents Mexican policy ard the
wholesale destruction OF American
lives and loss of property. For tn
first time in its history men are talk

nonnces Wilson for his reputation
