ARMY TRAINING BILL
 GOES ID THE SENATE WITHOUT COMMENT
In Transmitting Measure Providing for Universal Service Baker Makes
 No Recommendation

| Washington, February 23-The army
 general staff universal service bill was
 transmitted to the Senate military com.
 mittee today by Secretary Baker with
 out a definite expression by the admins
 tration either on the general subject or
 the specific proposal.
 l The Secretary plans suggested that wide
 publicity be given the staff plan ito the
 end that both Congress and the war de
 partment can have the benefit of an sen-
 llghtened, thoughtful public opinion upon l the needs and wishes of the country Tn round numbers the staff plan would supply trained force of 4,0Oo, 900 men, with one year of intensive military in- struction It is estimated by the war col lege that approximately 5O0,00O boys in their nineteenth year would be available for training annually. They would be lia-
 ble to call to the colors until 32 years of tage, passing after the first Il months of training to the first reserve for the next four years and one month then into the
 second reserve. and finally into the unor-
 ganized reserve until they reached the age of 45.
 Ine purpose or the bill is to constitute first reserve with strength of 1.5Oo,Oo
 ready to respond instantly to a call to arms. The second reserve, of equal size,
 but only partially equipped, would require sometime to take the field. Eventually there would be 100000 additional trained
 men ready to fill in gaps at the front. In addition these forces there would be regular army, composed of men choos- ing military life as a profession, of 24. 400 officers and 2S5,8S6 enlisted men. Of
 these 97,000 would form the overseas
 forces and 2s.o00 the frontier forces, the
 remainder composing the permanent
 training personnel which could take care Of the instruction of from 492 3Ss to 654, 2S2 reserve recruits annually. If the pro- portion of available men for training was greater than the figure given, the per- manent training force would have to be lproportionately increased
