Asked for his plan

he said;
MAJOS HARLLEE'S PLAN.
"A new army each year. An
actice army give it a good
name so it will be proud of it's
name. Its period of training to
be not over six months, perhaps
shorter, to accommodate it to the
vacation pc iod of colleges. Have
no OATH of enlistment. Pay its
lowest grade, respectable pay.
but withhold all except a norm.
al monthly sum until the end Of
the period. If any one wants to
quit. let him quit, but without
compensation. On the other
hand, if any one was not desir-
able. discharge MIN on the same
basis. One month at barracks
rendezvous for individual train
ing, the remainder of the time
afield. At the end of the period.
after marching back to the rem
edzvous, discharge every body
and tie no stamps to them.
Equip the soldiers with moth
ing but working clothes, gun,
some ammunition, a bag for car
ryins rations, suitable cooking
utensils. a water bottle and a
blanket.
'.Americs should not be a natl
on in arms, for we have seen
what q nation in arms has
brought to humanity. dut we
need a system and working hab-
its by which willing men--the
only kind who are not a burden
to an establishment--can be
made by American methods into
an efficient army--a System
which will furnish leaders and
teachers who knows how to lead
and teach. and who have practis-
ed the art of organizing, leading
and teaching real armies for
real SERVICE"

CASTE CRUSHES MEMS
SPIRITS.

''The law recognizes two sepa-
rate and distinct classes of men
in our military service. They are
absolutely separate and distinct.
There is line of cleavage be-
tween them. Pride and self-re
spect are the best elements Of
military character. Casts crun-
ches both. Napoleon destroyed
casts because it injure the mill
tary business. The impulse to-
ward Democracy which the
French Revolution gave the
French army has never reached
the American regular army.
There is an instinct in young
men which inspires an ambition
to be a soldier, and plenty of men
are, willing and anxious to be of
service if it can only be done in
an honorable and respectable
navy. but they are not willing to
be branded as men of a lower
class.
''The Persians had universal
service. The Greeks did not. It
is not the size of your host, but
it is the quality of it that adds
luster to your arms. Even if
there was enough jails and fed
eral constabularies to enforce uni
versal service without riots
among a people. il would not be
good business to do it,
EASY TO MAKE SOLDIERS.
There is nothing subtle mill
tary training. 1t does not require
years to train soldier. The in
dividual instruction is simple. 1t
can be done in weeks and, with
the proper machinery, developed
in less time than any army can
cross any ocean.

WHY MILITARIYE AMERICA?

VIII Y MILITARIYE AMERICA!
''Instead of attempting to mill
tarized America, /" said the major
to the Senators. ''and to bring
America to the ideals of the pre-
sent military orthodoxy. Why
Not Americanize our Military in
stitution and bring it to the ideals
of American
when you have brought the
military system in harmony with
things American, you will find a
different attitude toward it, and
no necessity for such drastic
measures as compulsory or uni
versial service.
"The American people are not
pusillanimous; They have not
lost their military virtue; They
need no system bolstered UP by
courts, jails and, military con-
stabularies to bring them to pro-
per preparations for national de-
tense.
Our Military Institution is not
an American development. 1t re
mains substantially unchanged
since it was imported at the be-
ginning of our government from
England and Continental Europe
from countries where there were
two classes of r,en--gentlemen
and common-men. The officers
came from the gentlemen class.
the enlisted men represented the
the common cast. Thu situation

it does not fit America. There is
