war. He urged that a reserve force
OF not less than 10000 reserve Off
GERS be built up as soon as possible.
Fhe garrisons overseas did not need
to be increased over their strength
at the beginning Of the war, he told
the committee.
The only increases that are justi-
fled are strengthening the coast artil-
lery defences. building up an adequate
railway artillery; reasonable in
ment of an independent air service.
| think we should maintain small
tank service and special services such
as gas warfare We would also need
some increases to carry out the gem
eral training of the youths of the
nation"
Favors Flying Camps
General Wood said the rapid ex-
tension of commercial and social hy-
ing would develop types of aircraft
that could quickly be converted to
war needs in case of emergency. In
order to secure war fjers he recon-
mended the establishment of national
flying fields on the lines followed in
the establishment Of reserve officers
training camps for training men for
battle fights during the summer
months.
THE air programme has been al
lowed to go to pieces with the pass
ing of the war emergency" General
Wood said in response to questions

start on new programme at once"
Senator New produced figures that
showed Great Britain has produced d

"Wouldn't the United States be over
whelmed in the air if she were at
tackled to-day?" he asked
"If she were attacked by any first
class power" General Wood agreed.
He outlined for the committee his
plan of promotion by selection, which
called for the selection of the promo

under oath and to state the reasons
for their promotions in sworn state
ments. In time of peace no officers
could be promoted more than one grade
in one year. He said he would not
apply the selective system below the
grade of captain
"The army is the only walk Of life
in which a man cannot advance him
self by his own individual effort.
General Wood explained. He must
move forward under the present sys-
tenn, with the mass Every one knows
what would happen # this same sys

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1O-A stand
ing army of 25o,oOO men, supplemented
by universal military training, will give
a sufficient force for the protection of
the United States in time Of peace,
Major General Leonard Wood told the
Senate Military Affairs Committee to-
day.
General Wood took sharp issue with
Secretary Baker and the general staff
in its recommendation that provision
be made for a permanent force of
100000 men. He made it clear, how
ever, that he was thinking only Of the
military protection OF the United
States
This can be done he said. "within
the limits of go 900 men. No larger
force is necessary now. If we are to
undertake new possibilities, of
which | know nothing, then, of course
we Will have to have an army that will
correspond in size to those response
bilities.
General Woods obvious reference
was to the statement of Chief Of Staff
March before the committee that the
United States would need an ARM Of
800 600 men to discharge it's obliga-
tlons under the league Of nations.
No Need for Larger Army
AT present. General Wood said. Il
find no reason whatever for the larger
army recommended in the War Depart
ment bill"
He approved the proposal of the
War Department bill for the promo
ton of officers by selection instead
Of by seniorlt but not in detail.
He said he would not have more than
25 per cent Of the promotions made
annually by selection.
He recommended the creation of q
general department OF production to
relieve soldiers not technically trained
for production work OF the tasks of
equlpping and maintaining an army in

there could be a section for aircraft
production and section for artillery
production. In such d department
could be gathered the best qualified d
production experts in the country'
