of Germany's impulse to make war on

Assuming Triumph.
of course, If the present war should

force peace and make a possible re-

| a large part of the army which has

the Washington government is going
on the assumption that the cause of

unnecessary after the peace treaty is

ten because the futility of militarism
will have been demonstrated. To ar
que with the masses of people that
when the present war is over. prepara-
ton must be begun for another war, is
viewed as particularly unwise. To de-
eide the question of after the war mil

President Holds Legislation
Providing Universal Military
Instruction Impractical Now.
BAKER OPPOSES ACTION
United States Fighting for
World in Which Large Ar
mics Will Have No Part.
(By David Lawrence.)

(By Telegraph to The Chattanooga
News. Copyright, 1918. by the
York Evening Post Company
Washington, March T. President
Wilson has made it clear to Represent
ative Dent, of Alabama, and the latter
has impressed it upon the members OF
the house military affairs committee, of
which he is chairman. that legislation
providing for universal military train
ing of all boys under the age Of 20
would be impracticable at this time.
Organizations such as the National
Security league have been conducting
an education propaganda with the OBJ
ject of securing universal military
training either now or after the war.
Secretary Baker, while favoring the
principle. came out in his annual re-
port against it, saying it would be un-
wise to decide this question until after
the peace conference. when the state
OF ornaments of all nations will have
been regulated. But notwithstanding
this. many bills have been introduced
providing for various kinds of military
training of the nations youth.
President Opposes II.
But there will be no bills reported
and therefore no legislation, because
the president has decided against it,
The presidents objection is that Of
ficers are not available for the purpose,
that all officers and those in active
service who would be able to instruct
the younger men are vitality needed to
instruct the officers in command of the
new draft army.
To put into effect any scheme of
universal military training that would
be worth the name military would re-
quire a vast number of officers.
New York state has already intro
duced military training in schools and
colleges and other states are being
urged to do the same but the National
Security league has been endeavoring
TO obtain federal action.
The argument of impracticability,
however, is recognized as convincing
so far as the present period is con-
cerned. but those who favor the legis-
lation plan TO renew IL on the basis
of an after-the-war safeguard.
Senator Chamberlain. chairman of
senate committee on military affairs. is
a warm advocate of universal military
training and will champion the
measure in the senate.
In this he has the support mostly OF !
republicans and notably OF Col. Roose- |
welt. But the administrations position |
with respect 10 postbeilum universal |
military training Is this: The United /
states is fighting now 20 obtain du- 1
rahle peace, one in which IL shall not /
