LONG TRAINING FOR J. 5. ARMY
 IS NECESSARY

Washington, April '10.--Oficers of the army general staff noted with sat- isfaction today that military critics of some British newspapers fully recog- nize the fact that the United States is faced by months of army training be- fore a force could be sent abroad with any assurance of ability to take it's place behind the veterans of the French and British armies in the trenches. The situation as outlined by the London Times states exactly the views of American military, experts.
 The army bill now before congress was framed by Secretary Baker after thorough discussion with his military advisers. It's purpose is first to pro- vide for an army to train the first increment of troops to be summoned by draft several months from now. It will take a minimum of 10000 officers and men to provide the half million men in that force with instruction. The preliminary use of the regular army and national guard, as contem- plated in the bill, will be to produce that training force and at the same time furnish thoroughly trained army of 800, GOO men for whatever use it might be desired to make of it. After the 100, 900 officers and non-com- missioned officers have been with drawn and assigned to the new army, the first line troops will need a period of further training in which the men and officers promoted to fill the va>an- cies can be seasoned to their new du- ties
 The force will still act as a school, however, to produce additional train ing personnel for the second half mill lion or any other additional forces called out.
 Presumably these first line troops after eight or 10 months of training could furnish thoroughly trained and equipped expeditionary force. if that were desired. They would be considered fully trained to meet any, emergency by that time, and behind them would be formed successive waves of supports and reserves which could go forward as need arose In effect the administration Dill provides for setting up and maintaining a sys- tenn which will promptly duplicate any forse sent to the front in an addi- tional reserve line under training at home, leaving always three lines of not less than 50O000 men, who are either ready or being put in readiness for actual fighting.

"Early .o bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
 Most Bridgeporters who had this axiom called to their attention nu- merous times in their youth, took it for granted that the axiom had the right idea. but was a little inconven- tent.
