is PROVIDED BY BILL
Baker Presents Universal Mill
tary Training Measure
Without Expression.
WANTS PUBLICITY FOR IT

Washington, Feb. 23.-The army
general staff universal service bill was
transmitted 10 the senate military
committee today by Secretary Baker
without definite expression by the
administration either on the general
subject or the specific proposal.
The secretary SAID il was not
thought that congress could give so
intricate problem consideration in
the closing days OF this session, but
suggested that wide publicity be given
the staff plan to the end that both
COZ -.ress and the War department
can in any subsequent consideration
given to the subject, have the benefit
OF an enlightened public opinion upon
the needs anlwishrs OF the country"
"As yet the letter OF transmittal
continues, u am not prepared 10 say
officially for the War department that
the need Of the country can reason
ably be said 10 be for soigreat an es-
adjustment. nor can We yet, without
further study and deliberatIon, be con
fldent that the means suggested are
the most appropriate TO the need
which it shall be determined wise to
forcsee."
Army OF Four Million.
In round numbers the staff plan
would supply trained force OF a.
000000 men, with one year OF inten
sive military instruction. 1t is esti-
mated by the war college that ap-
proximately 100000 boys in their
nineteenth year, would be available
for training annually. :. They would.
under the plan, be liable 10 call to the
colors Until thirty-two years Of age,
passing after the FIRST eleven months
Of their training to the first reserve
for the next four years and one.
month, then into the second reserve
and finally into the unorganized re-
serve until they reached the age OF
forty-hye.
The purpose of the bill is to con-
stitute the first reserve as fully or
gained and equipped fighting force
with a strength Of 100000 ready to
respond instantly to call to arms.
The second reserve of equal size, but
only partially equipped, would re-
quire some time to take the field.
Eventually there would be 100000
additional trained men ready to fiji
in gaps at the front
Regular Army Besides.
In addition to these forces there
would be regular army, composed
OF men choosing military life as
profession. Of 24.400 officers and 1885,
1886 enlisted men. OF these $4,000
would form the oversee forces and
10000 the frontier forces, the remain
der composing the permanent train
ing personnel which could take care
OF the instruction OF from 492, 386 to
654,2o2 reserve recruits annually. II
the proportion of available men for
training was greater than the figure
given, the permanent training force
would have to be proportionately in
creased.
In estimating the cost OF mainte-
nance Of the proposed army, the war
college figured that. an annual military
budget OF $472,258.746 would be re-
CURED to keep up the proposed force
at a strength of l,296,023 men, includ-
ing the regulars.

some light is thrown on tho campaign
which the German government has been

mony brought out at tho trial Of
General Soukhomlinoff in Petrograd for
high treason.
Accounts OF the trial, published In

that in the attempt to prove that Rus
STA was responsible for beginning the
war. the Germans deliberately sup
pressed important parts of the testi-
mony given by General Januschkevitch,
former chief of the Russian general
staff.
In Its report of tho trial. the semi
official German News Agency omitted
In it's entirety a passage regarding an
interview between General Januschke-

precise reports had been received that
German mobilization already was
secretly in progress The Russian
stan knew that this could be done,
under the German law. without formal
proclamation. whereas in Russia a
public manifesto from the Emperor was
necessary prerequisite.
On the following day dispatch was
received from the Russian ambassador
at Berlin confirming the previous in

ton was In progress. The Emperor
then expressed his thanks to General
