FUTURE OF TRAINING
CORPS IS DISCUSSED
Cessation Of Hosilities Not to In
terfere With Program at
6. W. University.

Cessation of hostilities with the
signing Of the armistice will not in
terfere with the present program OF
the George Washington University
unit of the Students Army Train
ing Corps. according to announce
ment by university officials.
The end Of the war renders I'M
necessary the induction of additional
men into the military service. It is
pointed out that if the S. A. T. C,
is continued the War Department
will be spending money for the
training of men that it will be I'M
able to use.
Some advocates of universal mill
tary training may urge the continu-
ance of the s. A. T. C. as a part OF
a program of military preparedness
ever, If their arguments will meet
with much support in view of the
popular adherence of anything that
smacks in the slightest of militar-
ism.
While the S. A. T. c. courses are
tural subjects as well as military
subjects. the curriculum in practice
lays virtually all stress upon military
subjects. The student is given only
a smattering of the regular academic
subjects.
Because Of this fact, it is probable
that before long the War Depart
T. C. Or will alter the curriculum sc
as to reduce the number of military
subjects and increase the number Of
cultural subjects.

of the American and National leagues
are revealed. Thomas M. Chivington
business manager of the LoulsVlile
club, and a former president of the

those who shared the opinion that nc
definite action for the resumption OF
the national game in 1919 should De

present convention and holding an
other meeting probably in January"
M. H Sexton of Rock Island. Ill,
president of the national association,
declared himself in favor of postpon-
ing definite action. He believes that
in the event professional base ball is
resumed next season fewer than half
a dozen leagues will take the field.
John H Farrell Of Auburn, N. Y,
president Of the International League;
President Thomas ]. Hickey of the
American Association and Dan O'Neill
president of the Eastern League, are
among the executives favoring base
