SALISBURY OFFERS
UNIQUE ARkY BILL
WOULD COMPEL MALE GOVERN.
MENT EMPLOYEES TO TAKE
MILITARY TRAINING.
BIG RESERVE FORCE
At LITTLE EXPENSE
Would Admit No One to Classified
Service, Under 40 Years Of Age, Who
Had Not Had Military Training
Civil Service Employees Would Be
Required TO Enroll.

washington, Feb. S.-Among the al
most endless plans which have been
presented to congress for prepared
ness in one form or another, Is a bill
by Senator salisbury which would
practically compel all male government
employees Of military age in the civil
service to take military training. The
measure applies to persons in the
classified service and not to other gov
eminent employees. Senator Salisbury
believes that If passed it would give
the country considerable body Of re-
servists with little extra expense.
1t is provided In the measure that
from and after next Jan. no person
then under the age OF 40 years shall
be eligible to appointment in the
classified service unless prior to that
time such person shall have voluntarily
received under rules made by the Sec
rotary Of war. military training of at
least two months. No person is to be
eligible to appointment to the CLASH
fled service, which is the civil service.
who does not enroll and agree to take
the training regularly and live up to
: the agreement. From and after Jan.
/, 1919, no person under the age of As
;s,ears is to be permitted to take an
examination for appointment in the
classified service or to remain in the
service unless such person shall have
received the training prescribed for
military service or its equivalent.
The net effect of the bill would be
after Jan. j, 1919, to force every male
employee in the civil service up to 43
years Of age to have military training.
Attorneys Must Be Trained.
Another provision Of the bill is that
none shall be permitted or qualified to
appear as attorneys or solicitor in any
court Of the United States unless for
at least one month in each year for
four years, or until he is As years of
age. he shall have received military
training provided for under the regu-
lations applicable to civil service en-
ployes.
Senator SALISBURY does not stop at
giving training to the men in the
classified service. The men, to be
sure, would be the only ones to get
military training. But In lieu Of mill
tary training. the women in the -ssi-
fled service would be given training for
hospita, service or similar service.

The Lecture Platform.

An American gentleman got ac-
ouainted with Frenchman who was
very anxious to acquire the English
language. The American, in order to
help him. said that if he would send
his exercises to him he would willingly
correct them.
Nothing was heard from the French
man for some time. but finally a letter
came, couched in the following choice
English.

English from his textbook and her die

Washington March 13.-Danger of
grave complications growing out OF
sending American troops into Mexico
to hunt down Villa and his bandits
was urged in the Senate today by
Senator chamberlain, chairman of the
military committee and Senator Bo-
rah, Republican, in advocating laying
aside temporarily all other legislation
in order to dispose promptly Of pre-
paredness measures. The statement
precipitated a general discussion in
which Senators Vardaman and Sim
mons deprecated suggestions that the
United States was not prepared to
deal with any situation that might
arise in it's relations with Mexico.

Presidents Statement

Mr.. Lansing also made public a
statement issued in the q anne Of Pres

step being taken by the administra-

tention to preclude the possibility of
armed Intervention in Mexico. The
statement follows:
"In order to remove any nisap.
prehension that may exist either
in the United States or Mexico.
tho President has authorized mo
to aive in his name the public as
suranee that the military opera.
tions now in contemplation by this
government will be scrupulously

stances will they be suffered to in

On the contrary, what is now being

clude the possibility Of interven.

The note to Carranza defines thu
terms Of the agreement beyond thu
possibility Of misconstruction. In briel
it provides that where conditions arise
on the American side of the border
similar to those at Columbus, which
led to the orders to Gen. Funston t.
enter Mexico, the same privilege will
be accorded to the Mexican de factt
government without the necessity of {
further exchange Of views. 1t Is clear
