WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Four plans
of immediate action in case OF war
with Germany have been worked out
by the general staff Of the army. IL
was learned today. They involve:
Using the regular army ana
national guard as a nucleus 10
train an army Of two million
year. sending no troops to europe
during that period.
Obtaining immediate passage
of a universal military service
law and calling out the first three
classes under it.
Extension of establishment OF
training camps in every state.
Putting American munition
plants and other factories to work
tions for an army of two million
men and converting other fac
tories for this work.
II would be futile, army men say
to send any of the present army to
Europe. Russia lost eighty thousand
officers in the first ten months OF the
war, they said-more than the total
strength of the United States army
General staff plans call for one nun
dred army divisions of twenty thou-

would be needed. At present there are
six thousand officers available.
Youths reaching the years Of Is. ~
and 20 the first year would be called.
Each year one million boys reach each
of these ages. One third OF them, 1t
