Capper Tells of Effort to Put
National Guard ssin HOle."
Replies to Indictments of Gen.
erals Scott and Wood.
BIG APPROPRIATION DESIRED
Discredit Activity of State
Troops Is LObby's Move.
Believes Nation Does Not Want
Big Standing Army.

One of the most active and deter
mined lobbies before congress is the
army lobby, according to statement
today by Governor Capper, following
his trip last week to Washington to
attend the governors conference. Of
ficers and friends of the regular army
guards in a hole" according to a
statement today by the Kansas execu-
tive. The governors emphatic state
ment of conditions and plans in Wash
ington is in effect a reply to the in
dictment of the national guards by
Major General Hugh L. Scott and Ma
jor General Leonard Wood.
During his visit to Washington last
week Governor Capper came in close
touch with conditions surrounding the
present session of congress He de-
clared that one of the pig drives before
the national legislature at this time is
the organized effort to discredit the
work and showing of national guards
men. Behind the plan to discredit the
national guards, Governor Capper
stated. is an effort to land enormous
appropriations for the regular army
and to minimize the national guard
units.
After Appropriations.
zone of the strongest lobbies I
found in Washington was the lobby
which is boosting for enormous ap-
preparations for the regular army
said Governor Capper. THE plan of
the officers and friends of the regular
army is clearly to d;scredit the work
and showing of the national guards.
They have attacked the showing made
by guardsmen on the border and are
seeking to minimize the strength and
value of the guard units. =
'ConVersati 5ns which I had with
several governors attending the con-
ference indicated clearly that the plan
is not meeting with popular favor.
do not believe congress or the people
of the nation will favor appropriations
for large standing army, but favor,
instead. consideration for the local
guards. In many instances=and Kan
saS might be used as an example
the work of the guards overshadowed
the work of the regulars. To me, this
move to put the national guards in a
hole is prompted by jealousy on the
part of officers and friends of the
regular army.
There was much sentiment evident
in Washington for military training I'M
der the universal training service sys-
TEN. But the sentiment among a ma
jority Of the men who attended the
conference, and 1 believe the senti-
ment of the nation. does not favor
greatly increased standing armies"
