BISHOP FALLOWS
URGES TRAINING
Veteran of Civil War Says
Universal System Will
Save Boys
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Jan. 20. Universal mill
tary training was ad, coated before the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs
by Bishop Samuel Fallows. OF Chicago.
Bishop Fallows served in the Civil war
entering as a chaplain and leaving as
brigadier general OF the Army OF the
Tennessee.
For twenty-one years he was a mem
Der of the board of governors OF the
state reform institutions at Pontiac,
nj. and said that he had during that
time officially parOled over 5000 young
men.

said. chat If we had a system OF uni
yersal military training at least 10 per
cent of those boys would not have been

Gftv wears ago, when the same cry OF
militarism was raised after the close
of he Civil War. Many well meaning
people in this country said that with

Grant would become a military die

"But those 100000 soldiers re,

training has not developed militarism

own State Of Wyoming.
"What America needs to-day IS

war or some great national calamity

spirit dead, buried under the weight OF

The women OF the city are preparing

supplementary TO the regular army as
part Of the first line Of defence IN case
Of war.
Providing for compulsory military
training for all who do not volunteer
for service in either the guard or the
regular army between certain ages.
Would Serve Dual Purpose
This plan. as far as il has been ois'
cusscd here. is regarded as a construc-
live measure attempting to meet the
demands OF those who are urging great
or defence precautions for this country
and at the same time insist on retain
ing the National Guard organizations
intact. National Guard officers say
that. especially since the call to Next
can border service, the state militias
have been the butt OF critics and criti-
cisim, but little or no attempt has been
made to better the system.
Advocates of this method of federal
izing the militia state that it would then
constitute we'll organized. well
trained and we'll equipped mobile force
ready for call 20 service by the gov
eminent at any time. The delay, IN
conveniences, lack of equipment, con-
fusion and red tape experienced at Camp
Whitman and in New York on the way
to Texas and at the border during the
mobilization last summer, 1t is held
would be obviated.
When the call for troops for the Mex
lean border was issued the Guard or
ganization first had to be brought up
to war strength. the Federal oath had
to be administered, and the/equlpment
had to be accounted for and trans
ferred.
II has been said that to FederaliZe

port from the militia organizations

believes that New York state would
continue its support Of the guard
while such support was necessary.
Plan Provides Penalty
Several plans are being considered
to carry out the compulsory military
training feature. One provides that
every able bodied man, on reaching the
age Of eighteen years, who does no.
volunteer for service i'm either the Ma
tional Guard or the regular army 81

military training at camp set aside
for that purpose. Another proposes
that the training be spread over
