Oppose military System.
"The American principle Is opposed
to q large standing or professional
army and the creation Of q caste or
officers superior and distinct from a
caste OF enlisted men. We have here
tofore tolerated such a caste system OF
training in our regular army upon the
theory that II was necessary to main
tain the proper military discipline, put
the experience OF the French army IN
the present great war organized under
the same democratic principles OF per-
sonal equality between officers and
men as exists between senior and jun
ior Officers had demonstrated such
an autocratic caste system is unnec-
essary, and that the best discipline ana
the highest efficiency can be obtained
with the democratic system.
URGE Intensive Training.
"a systerh of intensive training
should be- provided. The mobiliza-
ton should be by regiments. Two
months of time should be allowed
for the schools of soldiers ana
drills in the different units up to
and including the regiment. Two
months should be devoted to small
arms practice and during this period
the troops should be marched a dis
lance of three miles to and from the
rifle range each day.
s,rhe men should fire an average or
4 900 rounds under competent instruct
ors. This would make an army Oh
seasoned experts. At the end of this
period they should be assembled in the
larger units for two months cam
paign in marching, digging and field
firing. During all the time they should
receive proper instruction in caring for
themselves and their equipment, IN
cooking and in bivouacking.
Always Ready For Service.
add to this the properly trained ar
tillery and auxiliary corps and the cit
izen army would be efficient and ready
for battle. In time of peace the men
would be discharged and returned TO
civil life, except those who show the
greatest aptitude and desire to con-
time in the service. They should be
retained and developed into officers
.sIt would require all of the present
regular army and national guard Off
GERS to start such system and in a
few years officers would be provided
automatically. The red tape of pro-
xtraining must be destroyed.
Only the essentials of warfare can be
retained.

ASKS LAPS KEEP

Leader of Kokuminto Party
 Urges Government to Name It's Terms.

Xii Inukai, leader of the Kokunin- to Party in Japan, urges in receHt treatise on the war, the retention y Japan of the islands in the Pacific which have been wrested from Ger many because of their value as naval bases. He advocates a policy of thor ough preparedness to meet all prob financial or mili- tary-that may arise after the war, MT. Inukai is regarded by Japanese as their champion of constitutional government, and has scathingly cri ticized both the Okuma and the Ter auch governments for their ''bung- ling'' diplomatic policies; making a lucid statement of the position of the Kokuminto Party!
 Japan he says, 't is at the present time in a position which demands that she must find a clear under standing of the duties and obligations she must perform at the close of the war. He urges the Japanese people to make a study of after-war affairs.
 "But," he added, none of the ex- isting political parties Is strong enough single-handed to carry through any effective measures. To cite an instance, even Marquis Okuma was unable to carry into operation the high ideals he had cherished dur ing his Premiership, although he was backed by the numerically powerful Kenseikai.A .
 What should Japan's stand be when the Peace Conference is con- vened? What will become of the South Sea Islands now in our possess sion? What is to become of Kiao- ehau? The Allies terms of peace, made public a short time ago, include such conditions as the return of AL sace-Lorraine, the independence. of Belgium, and the interests of Great Britain, France and Russia, but not a word was said about the Japanese interests regarding the Kiao-chau or the South Sea Islands. If the Peace Conference, be entered into with such Ia manner, without a thought for Ja- pan, what would be Japan's position after the war?
 "It is necessary that Japan should
 make due preparations for peace during the war. Now is the time for Japan to find the points in which she must have a voice and drive the nails, so to speak, so as to make her posi- ton secure. The last Cabinet made a miserable mistake in it's forcing di- plonacy. In Joining the Agreement of London Japan should have made IiCI pOSltAOII CiSdI III Ic6dIu II IO EAldO- chau and the South, Sea Islands. That she has not done this is a great piece of neglect, but it is question wheth- CT the present Cabinet is capable of attending to such business.
 tsTo guarantee the safety of Japan for the future, it Is important that she should secure her rights of the sea. In this connection it must be said that the Japanese occupation of the South Sea Islands is a question Of life and death importance to Japan
