ed until war is actual or imminent and
until congress shall have authorized
such ction.
Our most recent experience in rails
ing volunteers was in91 800, when twcn-s
#ty-four United States volunteer regi-
ments Of infantry were raised for sery-=
ice in the Philippine Islands. The re
ports Of the colonies of those regiments
show that before proceeding to the
Philippine Islands the regiments aver
aged training periods of about sew
en- weeks. Although these regiments
strongly impressed officers who had
the opportunity to observe their fine
organization and splendid material, it
would be unsafe to take that period
as standard for future training Of
volunteers, for it must be borne in
mind that. those regiments not being
called upon to face trained troops un-
| der trained officers, their training and
discipline were never put to test
sufficiently severe to base thereon
| definite conclusions. Furthermore, al
though there could be little oppor-
tunity for real training on transports
| while en- route, there was necessarily
much time on the voyage that could
be and was utilized in certain classes
| Of instruction that had been post
poned purposely, and there was much
opportunity for the development of the
forces of discipline and cohesion. The
period Of instruction and training, from
the beginning to the time the regi-
ments were put into the firing line,
was approximately three months.
another consideration bearing upon
the length Of time that these regiments
were actually in training is the splen.

Begin Training at Once.
Under the caption draining of Vol
~unteers" the War college pamphlet
reads: .
"The training of volunteer troops
! must begin without delay after their
induction into the service. No time

company rendezvous without waiting
for complete mobilization. Under our
traditional policy Of relying principally
for national defense upon citizen SOL

Peril of No Training.
1T goes without saying that the
more the men know about the art of
war the better Time will not, how
ever, be available to teach them every
thing, even if they were capable of
absorbing it. Careful distinction must
be made between those things which
it is essential that every soldier should
know and those things which it is de-
sirable that he should know. Every
effort should be made and all available
time devoted at first to teaching the
essentials while later, if time be avail
able, the instruction and training may
be extended in other directions.
"Imperfectly trained troops must pay
with their lives for their own mistakes
and for those of imperfect leadership
The more efficient the leadership the
better will be the training, and the
better the training the fewer will be
| the mistakes and the less will be the
ultimate cost of any results sought to
| be obtained by the war.

good in itself, will fail to bring the de
sired results unless there are available
