the matter Of new legislation beyond
the admission Of General Scott, chief
Of staff, that the body is committed 10
the principle Of universal training and

Tentative plans to that end have
been prepared at the army war college,
with estimates of expense based on
different schemes regulated by numer-
zeal strength, duration of training
period Of compulsory service with the
cOlors or in the reserve or both, charac
ter of equipment and finally, the Pur-
pose for which such a force is desired.
These are factors which must be deter
mined by the secretary Of war and the
| President.
The general staff has outlined sever
al plans to meet as many different con

President, and the finally approved
project Will be amended b., the general
staff experts in accordance with in

MUCH STEEL AWAITS SHIPS

Iron Trade Review says: At least 500,
coo tons of steel now are on railroad
ears on piled along the right of way at
principal Atlantic coast ports await
ing ships TO carry il away to European
destinations, according to estimates
III well-formed trade circles OF this
amount, over 100000 tons alone is for
the French government That this
huge accumulation IS likely to be
further swollen during the next few
weeks because of the confusion III ship
ping and the reduced rate OF outgoing
tonnage caused by the German sub
marine declaration, is the opinion en-
tortained in these same quarters. The
steel makers who are shipping to the
port Of New York find railroad facil-
tiles at present better than a week or
two ago and various routes are open to
unlimited shipments. The policy of the
entente governments, apparently, is to
get their consignments from the mills
to tidewater as fast as possible, even
though it may be necessary to hold
them at seaboard awaiting ships
