taken to put the matter before them.
Would you nina helping me by an
nouncing this poll through your col
umns and urging your senators to
send me before February ! their first,
second and third choices for the re-
publican nomination and their opin~
ions as to the most important plank to
be inserted in the platform?
The result Will, l believe, be very
interesting and if YOU wish | will send

much l would request that each state
senator be sent a marked copy of the
paper containing this announcement.

Washington, Jan. 20.--Any militarc
policy adequate to the nation needs
must recognize the fact that wars
come suddenly and there must be
instant readiness to meet the attack,
said Major General w. II. Carter, re-
Gently retired, in a statement today
before the senate military committee.
"War is a condition which may be
forced upon us any day through Dip
lomatic notes" he said, without ac-
ton by congress" Great Britains dee
laration Of war against Germany and
the Japanese tack upon Russia were
cited illustrating the possibilities.
Basis of Continental System.
General Carter laid before the com
mittee report submitted by him to
The secretary of war last April before
his retirement and while he was COM
mandor Of the department of Hawaii.
1t was repaired at the sccrctaryS re-
quest for his views as to a proper
military policy for the United States
and it seemed evident, he said. that
ii formed the basis for the continent
tai army scheme now contemplated
even to the name, which Mr.. Garri-
son had proposed.
General Carter recommended in
creasing the standing army to such
an extent that a mobile force of 49,
500 men would be available in the
United states; that the federal vol
unteers be organized and trained on
the basis of an infantry regiment to
each congressional district and that
additional appropriations be made for
the militia.

System of Enlistment.

He did not believe, however that
period of intensive training for fed
eral volunteers could be accomplish
ed. Instead he proposed that col
onel for each volunteer regiment be
appointed from the regular army and
also a commissioned staff. that
the troops be enlisted for two years
and trained in such ways as might
he practicable in each district. In
that time. he said, about the same
amount of instruction could be given
as would be the case in six months
of intensive training

Like all other regular army Off
GERS who have appeared before the
military committees General aCrter

believed it unwise to attempt to enact
such a measure at present, saying
that the young men Of the country
should be given an opportunity to

smaIIer and More Regiments.

While General Carriers recommen-
dations for he regular army con-
templates about the same forces as
that proposed by Secretary Garrison,
he has suggested a radical change in
organization for all arms which would
produce smaller regiments and there
fore a greater number of units. The
huge regiments of several thousand
men used in someEuropcan armies,
he said, were wholly unsuited to
American conditions and he dismissed
os not worthy Of consideration the
suggestion that sixteen inch howitzers
would be needed for the mobile
troops. American roads would not
permit the use of such weapons, he
said and in any defensive war the
country might become involved in,
there would he much open fighting
and little trench warfare.

For that very reason he advocated
reducing the size of tactical divisions,
returning TO the lessons of the civil
war, American roads. he said, would
not permit the handling OF great
bodies Of troops over parallel routes
in many places as was the case in
Europe and training of general Off
GERS for field operations was impera-
tive. He remarked that he was him
self the only American army officer
who had commanded tactical divis-
ions in the fields in the last forty
years.

Chamberlain accepted. mis- services in
aiding the committee in drafting its
military bills. He had much to do
