nounced that the appointment to vol

from those classes of our citizens who
have had such experience, and that
from those classes the selections will
be made in the following order:
(A)-Persons who have had expert
ence as commissioned officers in the
regular army of the United States and
ex-officers of volunteers Of proved ex-
perience and efficiency.
(B)-NOn-c commissioned officers OF
experience in the regular army.
(C)-Persons who have had expert.
ence as officers in the militia.
D)-Persons who have qualified
according to law under prescribed ex-
aminations to test their fitness to
command and control men in the field.
(E)-Graduates of educational in
situations of military standing to
which regular army officers are de-
tailed us professors of military science
under the law.
(F)-Should the necessary number
of volunteer officers required not be
furnished from the above classes, the
war department will give civilians
lacking in actual military experience
an opportunity to appear for examina-
ton to test their fitness for commits
sions, before boards which the war de-
partment proposes to create in the
several states.
Begin Training at Once.
Under the caption Trimming of Vol
unteers" the war college pamphlet
reads:
1.-THE training Of volunteer troops
must begin without delay after their
induction into the service. No time
must be lost. It should begin at the
company rendezvous, without waiting
for complete mobilization. Under our
traditional policy Of relying princi-
pally for defense upon citizen SOL
diers, the larger part Of our land
forces will not be fully trained on the
outbreak of war. 1t is more than
probable that we shall have to employ
some of them with little or no train
ing as soon as they can be assembled
in suitable units.
"The amount and character Of the
training will at first be directly pro-
portional to the time consumed, pro.
vided a rational scheme be followed.
How much time will be available it
is impossible to predict. 1t is reason
able to assume, however, that in the
event of q war with an oversee enemy
it will be the time required for our
enemy to establish at least partial
control of the sea sufficient to open
the way for landing of expeditionary
forces.
"Any system of training, however,
good in itself, will fail to bring the de-
sired results unless there are avail
able sufficient number of trained In
structors, officers and noncommis-
stoned officers. The blind cannot lead
the blind"
Referring to the mobilization of the
volunteer armies, the war college
points out that all points Of mobiliza-
ton have been selected, one in each
state of the Union. and that these pre-
liminary arrangements have been ap-
proved by both the federal and state
authorities. These plans provide for
the necessary buildings, for water sup
ply, and all other essential needs
which will arise.
