ACCOMPLISHMENT
Desired to Ascertain Whether Of
ffcial Information Has
Been Utilized.

Inspection of members of Congress
stock exchange accounts to ascertain.
If possible, whether official information
has been utilized in trading, was the
principal business before the congress
sional leak inquiry committee today.
The committee did not hold a DIblic
hearing, devoting its time to the in
spection. The examination is based on
Washington brokers testimony yes
terday that certain members of the
House have traded through him.
Records of most of the Washington
brokers were in the hands of the com
mittee today and the remainder have
been subpoeraed. Upon the outcome
of the examination. which VIII be done
privately. will depend whether the
committee will Investigate the trans
actions publicly.

his office, eight newspaper men were
placed on the stand. and also some EN- :
ployeS of the government printing ~

Mr. Clarke was questioned closely re-
garding his statement that the Secretary
had said he did not want news of the
statement to become public prematurely
because of the effect it would have on
the stock market. This was in contra
diction of testimony previously given by
the Secretary. but in confederation of the
testimony Of another reporter, A l..
Jameson.

teered the statement that the committee

Sees Lack of Uniformity.

THE existing militia organizat lions
will have had some training. but as the
authority of training the militia is re-
served by the Constitution to the states,
respectively, there will always be a
lack of uniformity in training, both in
character and amount. To secure par
ticipation in the appropriations made
by Congress for the support of the
militia 1t Is required that the militia
shall assemble for drill, instruction and
target practice twenty-four times, and
shall have five days of practice marches
or camps of instruction each year. As
Stunning one and half hours as the drill
period, thirty-six hours, or the eQuiva-
lent of Six training days. will be used
for drills, etc, and five days for practice
marches or camp-eleven days in all
per year. thirty-three days in an enlist
ment period of three years. If there be
full attendance at all exercises the
average man will have had one and a
half years service and about one-half
of this training. or about seventeen
days. When il is remembered that the
organizations should be brought to war
strength by adding to each company Of
infantry from IS to 101 recruits
can addition of from 100 to 206 per
cent to the strength thereby, 1t may
be said that the militia will be
practically unframed. and that the
same procedure must be followed with
| them as with the new volunteers.
Our most recent experience in rails.
ing volunteers was in 1899, when
twenty-four United States volunteer
regiments of infantry were raised for
service in the Philippine Islands. The
reports of the colonies of those regi-
ments shew that before proceeding to
the Philippine Islands the regiments
averaged training periods of about sew
IN weeks. Although these regiments
strongly impressed officers who had the
opportunity to observe their fine or.
gani5ation and splendid material, it
would be unsafe to take that period as
a standard for future training of volun-
teers; for 1t must be borne in mind that,
kthose regiments not being called upon
to face trained troops under trained ON
GERS, their training and discipline were
never put to test sufficiently severe to
base thereon definite conclusions Fur
| thermore. although there could be lit
tie opportunity for real training on
transports while en- route. there was
| necessarily much time on the voyage

Department that any existing organiza-

PLANNING TO FORM
VOLUNTEER ARMY
Belief That First Call in Case
of War Will Be for
100000 Men.
GENERAL STAFF PROGRAM

Army officials are quietly making
preparations to meet a possible call by
President Wilson for volunteers. The
size of the first army to be called FOR
is problematical, but the general opin-
ion is that it would number at least
100000 men. Such action would re-
quire congressional sanction. The War
College division of the general staff has
matured plans for assembling citizen
army to aid in national defense. and re-
ported the matter to the Secretary OF
War.

Action Follows Long Discussion.

Following long discussion today.
during which numerous phases of the
entire question of providing substitute
social organizations were brought up.
the action cited above was taken. 1t
was embodied in resolution presented
by Rev. DIR. John Van Schaick. jr..
president of the board of education.
The resolution pointed out that social
activities ARE legitimate part of ed
ucation."
NO one plan can be made by this
commission for all high schools" the
resolution continued. THAT is mat
ter not to be imposed from without,
but must grow from within. Upon each
high school faculty is the responsible
ity for the social life of that school"
The commission, it was stated, can
properly afford mechanism for confer
ence and suggestion"
The next meeting of the committee is
to be held March IA at 3 pm. The place
was not designated but probably will
he the Franklin School.

TO PLAN SUBSTITUTES
FOR HIGH SCHOOL FRATS
Form of the Social Organizations Is
Left to the Respective
Faculties.

Social organizations to take the place
of high school fraternities and sororities,
the gradual abolition of which has been
ordered by the board of education, are to
be formed by the respective high schools
rather than through any central organiza-
ton representing all of the high schools.
This was decided at a meeting of the
commission selected by the board of
education to discuss ways and means of
replacing the secret societies. held today
at the Franklin School
This commission includes the princi-
pals of the high schools. two faculty
representatives from each of the high
schools, members of the high and nor
NAL school committee of the board of
education and several citizens.
