BY GUARD HEADS

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Nation-
al guard efficiency and universal
military service were discussed at
the opening session Tuesday of the
national defense convention, under
the auspices OF the National Guard
Association of the United States.
The national guard system itself
was declared inadequate and ineffi-
cient by Brig Gen. William A.
Mann, chief Of the war department

cheney and patriotism of the officers
and men remained unquestioned, he
said
Gov. Charles S. Whitman defend
ed the New York state normal
guard against criticism of the way
it responded for Mexican service. as
sorting that the country's military
system was inadequate and urged
liberalization of the national guard.
VIII Follow Flag.
Opinion that if war comes no
men would follow the flag more
layally and devoutly than national
guardsmen was expressed by Brig.
Gen. Thomas j. Stewart of the
Pennsylvania national guard.
Mai. Gen. John f. Organ, COM
handing the national guard of New
York, in an address at the afternoon
session Of the convention. declared
that with a few. amendments the
national defense act can be made
TO provide a system of compulsory
training and military service in the
national guard which will be COM
prehensive and effective, but in
keeping with the principles of the
Swiss system which has been plead
ed for so earnestly.
I'm order TO accentuate the ma
tional character of the force, change
the name of the national guard OF
the United States TO national army
Of the United States" Gen. Organ
said
Provide for compulsory training
and service in the national army by
prescribing that on the first day OF
May in each year there shall be en-
rolled in each congressional district
Of the United States the names of
male citizens i'm the district who
have reached the age Of 10 years
in the 10 months preceding, that
those free from physical disability
shall be given opportunity to vol
unteer for six years of service in
the national army, the number &C
cepted, however, TO be limited by
he total number required OF each
congressional district.
