the hopelessness of that system of
military preparation from the army
point of view. 1T is the volunteer
system that is at fault" General Scott
said. "It has always failed us. 1t is
undemocratic, unreliable, inefticient
and expensive"
Asked if doubling the pay of pri-
Yates would improve the present sys-
tenn General Scott said:
IF you increase the pay of the
army to a point where it would pro-
duce a force of the size we must have,
you will bankrupt the nation"
Secretary Baker told the House
military committee to-day that ne
had not yet made up his mind wheth-
er universal compulsory military SER
vice, or a system of selective conscrlp-
ton, was the best methods of prep
aration for national defense. He dis
cussed difficulties met with in mobili-
zation of the National Guard and var
ious questions connected with the
Lorder service.
Before the House naval committee
Captain william S. Sims, commander
of the battleship Nevada asserted his
opinion that 14-inch guns were supe-
rior to the 16-inch weapons with
which new American battlecraft will
be armed. There was wide difference
of opinion in the navy, but he believed
a ship equipped with 14-inch guns
would defeat a ship equipped with an
equal number of 16-inch guns If prop
erly handled.

Fortunately the Mexicans were
unframed troops" he added, "and our
purpose to protect the border was ac-
complished by the mere presence of
our men on the border without firing
a shot. We never contemplated send

der until they had been trained, al

ment fully expecting a message say

Guard Would Have Been DESTROYED
I'VE felt that the National Guard
troops would have destroyed them
selves in marching, had they been
sent through that hard country.
General Pershing's troops made
phenomenal marches. There was not
a National Guard organization that
could have done it. 1t would have
killed both men and horses"
General Scott said there were twen-
ty thousand Carranza troops around
the Pershing expedition and fourteen
thousand more opposite Douglas,
where great American interests are
located. These were the points where
he looked for attack.

Take Year of Training
General Scott disagreed with Gen.

six months intensive training would
prepare soldiers for passage into a
federal reserve. The general staff be-
lieved, he said, year of intensive
training to be the absolute minimum

of universal training and service.
General Scott made it plain that the
general staff had no quarrel with the
officers and men of the guard but
only with the system and argued that
it's defects were inherent in any plan
that was based on the inclination of
individuals toward military training.
Before the naval committee. which
resumed consideration of the 1918
estimates after a weeks delay, Cap
tain William S. Sims, commanding
the new dreadnaught Nevada was the
first man from the active fleet to pre-

He told of the conditions of modern
battle practice at sea and the progress
being made by the fleet toward battle
