Ma;or-Genera|s Bliss and Scott
Support Secretary Garrison.
UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE IS IDEAL
Advocates Organization Of Reserve
Corps Of Officers and 100000
Additional Trained Men.

Washington, D. C.-Unqualified sup
port was given Secretary Garrison's
army plan before the senate military
committee by Major General Scott and
Major General Bliss, respectively chief
and assistant chief Of staff of the
army. Both amplified statements
made on the subject last week before
the house committee.
General Scott decarled the plan
would save at least five months time
in building up an army of defense in
war emergency. He advocated inn
mediate organization of reserve
corps Of officers actually commissioned
and assigned to the posts they would
take in time of war. General Scott
also urged that quartermaster's re-
serve corps of enlisted men be formed
to include mechanics Of all kinds, tel
egraphers, radio operators, motor We
hicle drivers and experts, teamsters,,
railway men and the like. A repre-
sentative of the American Legion, he
said, had told him recently thatss15 15, 900
men of this sort had been listed by the
organization who were willing to en-
list in such corps.
Both of the generals expressed the
opinion that universal military service
was the only "ideal democratic meth
cd of building an army, but thought
the country would not tolerate the pro-
posal now. General Bliss said it was
only talked Of by army officers as an
academic question on this account.
Discussing the details Of the various
bills under consideration, General Bliss
said that the measure proposed by the
War department was the only one
which appeared satisfactory or which
seemed to contemplate definite pol
icy. The War college division of the
General Staff, he said, has fixed 5OO,-
900 men, more or less trained, as the
irreducible minimum necessary for the
country's safety in the first shock Of
war.
The proposal to increase the regular
army to 250, 900 as suggested in SEN
ator Chamberlain's tentative bill, he
added, was wholly inadequate by it.
self. Moreover, he added, it was i'm
possible to recruit a larger force thar
lao, 900 men, as proposed by Secre'
tary Garrison for the regular army,
without increasing pay or otherwise
giving added inducement. He read
report from the adjutant general de
claring that it would be impossible tt
recuit even 100000 men in peac'
times and that the arevage maximum
force that could be maintained wa
only 10000.
