Guard proper at the close of the war
will be nothing like as large as AT
preSent-37S, 600 men. OF course, many
of the men who 60 through the war
safely will re-cnlist for peace time

For "Period of War;"
What IS true of the National Guard
In this respect also is true OF the reg
ular army two-thirds of which Is com
posed of men who volunteered their
services for the period of the war, and
cannot be held after peace Is declared.
: The terms of thousands Of other men
will have expired and they also must
! be released.
| II will be recalled that the formal
J announcement of the war department,
| in defining the new organization, spe-
/, officially stated that it was for over
sons service" 1t is but fair to as
sumo that this organization is not now
intended to be permanent and that
there will be no disposition to main
tain National Guard units as now Or
ganized after peace comes.
In fact, Secretary Baker has re-
peatedly informed the newspaper men
that all plans for the army are tenn
porary, or 'for the period of the war"
Congress took particular pains to spe-
city that the selective draft law ap'
piled only to the war period and was
not to be considered as an approval
of the principle of universal military
training as permanent policy.
1t is freely predicted that the men
who do the fighting in France vii
see to 1t that congress provides for
permanent system of universal mill
tary training. When the Nationa
