Spanish and Foreign Wars
Veterans Ready to Serve

Bernard. Wall, former department
commander Of the United Spanish war
Veterans and now lieutenant IN oom-
panv A Of the Old Guard, said yester'
day:
you may say that everv last man IN
the organization will stand by the Al
ministration and 60 wherever ne ~
sent. Personally am ready to 60
now. We have always stood TOT uni
yersal service, and now is the oppos-
tunity for those outside to come IN
and serve their country. 1t is hoped
that Congress will pass a universal
service law Immediately and that the
government will put it in effect II
that is not done the United Spanish
War Veterans of '9s will go again as
volunteers"
Albert J. Rabing, commandments
of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, who
starts next week on campaign in
which he will talk in seventeen cities
in an effort to consolidate for universal
service all American citizens, spoke
With enthusiasm on the present situa-
ton.
He said: "As an organization, our
members, all of whom have been under
fire, stand back of the United States
government, as they always have. we
are ready to do any duty they require
of US. We have posts in almost every
state. at Honolulu and at Panama. In
Pittsburgh alone there are men enough
in the posts to organize full regi-
ment On January 81 last we organ
lied in this city General George R.
Dyer Post No. 81, with fifty charter
members. George d. Goodall is its
commander. All these men stand ready
TO serve the country in any emergency.
There are more than 100000 men in
this country who are qualified by hav-
ing seen service to be members OF the
Veterans of Foreign Wars"
Captain Walter I. Joyce, quarter
master of the Old Guard, speaking
for that battalion Of veterans, said:
81 know I am safe in saying that every
member Of the Old Guard will stand
by the Administration in this crisis
and volunteer their services whenever
and wherever required"

Air Corps Preparation
Being Rushed Forward
[rrcm INC Tfibune Bureaul

Washington. Feb. 3.-The aviation
sections of both tn War and Navy de-
partments are working overtime in full
realization that this branch of the ser
vice will be of the first Importance IN
case Of war with Germany.
Until the last Congress no really
serious appropriation for air service
had been made. The army aviation
service, as shown by the border iiasco'
WAS utterly inadequate even to the
most trivial duty. The navy air SER
vice. while further advanced, was
greatly handicapped by lack of funds;
Both arms now have plenty of FUNDS
and work on material as well as the
training of aviators is rushing for
ward. =, II.
Naval experts said tonight that
hydro-aeroplanes were proving of the
greatest value in submarine hunting In
the European war zone, and IL Is pc
lieved they will be used extensively IN
the United States if it develops that
the German plans include commerce
raid on this side of the Atlantic. An
aeroplane flying at great height Is
able to detect submerged submarines
and either drop bombs which sink and
explode on contact with the U-boat or
signal its position to destroyers.
The newest American battleships arc
equipped with catapults for launching
hydro -aeroplanes from their decks. and
cruisers are also fitted out to act as
mother ships for the fiers. The vul-
nerability of large navy vessels to
submarine attack, however, makes 1t
unlikely that the United States will at
tempt to use hydro-aeroplanes in anti
submarine work in the German war
zone, as there would be too great a
risk of losing the mother ship.

Speaks Through Army
League and Will Ask
Congress to Act
NEED MILLION MEN
IN CASE OF WAR
Naval Plans to Meet Hos
tilities Now Being
Worked Out
From The Tribune Buraul

Washington, Feb. 3.-If President
Wilson takes the advice of the military
authorities he will promptly ask Con.
gress to pass a universal military SER
vice law. Ever since the breaking out
Of the European war the General Staff
and the high ranking officers of the
army have been urging the Presidents
advisers to enact some legislation OF
this character. 1t has been the theory
of the General Staff that only through
universal military training could this
country be kept out Of the war.
To-day while President Wilson was
speaking TO Congress Joseph Letter,
president Of the Army League, gave
out an interview in which he declared
that the only way for Congress
to hold up the hands Of the
President was to enact universal
military traing legislation. 1t was
insisted by Mr.. Letter that all other
expressions from Congress would
have little more effect than the passage
of a resolution by a juvenile debating
society. This is especially significant
in that the Army League is regarded in
military circles as a semi-oi'icial
organ of the General Staff, although the
league is composed entirely Of civilians.
Under its constitution, army officers
are not permitted to hold Office and
they have no official connection with it.
Million Soldiers Needed
Members of the General Staff to-day
called attention to the fact that if a
universal military training law had
been passed when the European war
was declared the United States would
now have a million or SO trained citl-
zen soldiers. At present the strength
Of its regular army and National Guard
is little less than one-fourth the
army of Rumania, which has been al
most wiped out by the Central Powers
in short campaign.
Germany, in deciding to wage its
ruthless naval campaign, did not take
into consideration the land forces OF
this country. The German General
staff is fully aware of the weakness
of the land forces, and, furthermore,
il is fully advised that in the event
of war it will be two or three years
before any American troops could be
on the firing line in Europe.
Even the navy, the German General
staff is aware, is short of men and i'm
perfectly organized. II is composed OF
magnificent ships, but under the volun-
teer system the Navy Department has
rot been able to procure a sufficient
force to fully man it. In the event OF
war it may be filled up, but most of
the men will be unframed. In recent
years the naval authorities have joined
the General Staff in the advocacy of
universal training. In private CONVEX
sation members Of the General Board
admit that they do not expect to Sc
cure an adequate force to man the
ships that are already authorized by
Congress.
