Regulars Will Train Force

SIXTY MEN FROM
EACH REGIMENT
Will Be Chosen for Task for

Washington, March S.-War depart
ment officials admitted yesterday that
they have sent instructions to the COM
handing officer of each regular army reg
iment on the Mexican border to submit
the names OF sixty men in their COM
mands to be commissioned officers in case
it is found necessary to raise a large
temporary army in the near future. The
department officials were somewhat dis
turbed because the instructions had be-
come public. They said that the send
ing of the instructions was simply an
advance move to meet any eventuality
that may arise as a result of the break
in relations between the United States
and Germany. Officials emphasized the
fact that the order was intended to meet
only an extraordinary emergency. The
men selected will be eligible for COM
missions up to and including captains.
Between 5000 and 5000 will be chosen.
The designation of the men will be
on their military aptitude, not by exam
nation. The department, as a precau-
tionary step, it was explained, desired
TO establish this list of men deemed fit
for commissions by officers under whom
they have served. Presumably the non
commissioned personnel will supply the
largest number.

The department is conducting a vigor.

reserve corps. Efforts are being made
to enroll fifty men in each COMPRESSION
al district.
The regular army may suffer in eff
cheney if its best enlisted men are with
drawn for duty with volunteers, but
there is no other way, officers say, to
provide an adequate training force even
for volunteer army of 100000 men. If
million or more were to be trained,
officers for the force would have to be
selected from the first 100000 organ

regulars will have to train first the force
that is to train the volunteer army if
a big force is to be raised.

WILSON LASHES FILIBUSTERs.
But Free Language Is Giving Rein at
Democratic Luncheon.

Washington, March S-President vii.
son expressed in forceful language his
disappointment over the Senate's failure
to pass his armed neutrality bill and dis
cussed at length his conception of the
underlying basis of permanent peace in
an informal talk Tuesday at White
House luncheon to the members of the
Democratic national committee. The
president declared he was mad over
the attitude of the little group of sen.
ators who held up the armed neutrality
bill, and indicated that he hoped for
better results if he tried again to secure
its passage. The present, he said, is no
time for partisan or factional consider
ations in international affairs, because
the need that America prove united in
efforts to safeguard its interests is i'm.
perative. He decried bitterness in pub
lie discussions of the situation.
The underlying principles of democ
racy were declared by Mr.. Wilson as the
only principles on which covenants
can endure on which permanent world
peace can be maintained. He said the
consent of the governed must be behind
governments.
The president referred to the condition
of AlsaceLorraine as typical of causes
of war which must be avoided if per-
manent peace is to be achieved. Reiter.
ating his hope that the United States
viii play part in building up struc-
ture for the maintenance of permanent
peace after the present war, he declared
that such a peace can be founded only
on just principles meeting the aspira
tions of the people of the world.
No stenographer was present during
the presidents speech and its text was
not made public. The luncheon was Civ
en- in honor of Vance c. Mccormick,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, and the other members who
assisted In Mr.. Wilson's reelection.
