PREPARING new

HOUSE MILITARY AFFAIRS CON-
MITTEE DRAFT NEW
SCHEME
USE MEN OF A. E. F.
WOULD SiDETRAck UNIVERSAL
MILITARY TRAINING
BILL
Newspaper Union Rev. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, Nov. 1T was dis
closed here that majority of the mem
bers of the House committee on mill
tary affairs are preparing an army re-
organization bin which ignores the
principle of universal military training
and which would substitute for it Il
reserve army of 100000 who had eN-
perience in the late war.
The plan, which is now being draft
ed into bill form by the majority of
the committee, while stanch advocates
of universal military training are still
contending for recognition, embodies
the following outstanding features:
A regular army Of $4,000 Officers
and enlisted men.
A United States army made up from
men honorably discharged who saw
service or had training in the war with
Germany and the National Guard of
the several states.
An increased Officers reserve corps
Consolidated and independent mill
tary and commercial air service.
Separate and individual tank and
chemical warfare branches.
Consolidated transportation service
separate from the Quartermasters de-
partment.
Officer promotion in the regular
army from a single list and by selec-
ton.
Line officers as chiefs of the various
arms of the service.
A general staff college through
which officers must pass before detail
to the general staff.
Members of the committee say that
the sidetracking of universal military
training in the formulation of this bill
is made necessary, because they be-
lieve to make an issue of it at this time
in the committee would result in its de-
feat. Only seven members of the COM
mittee. it is declared, are ready to vote
for universal training mt this time as
part of the national defense system.
Besides these seven members. 9th
erS of the committee are said to hold
the view that universal training will
come ultimately, but that Congress is
not now ready for it. For this reason
they hesitate to incorporate it in II
bill as coming from the committee.
But this course, it is declared. will
not prevent the issue from getting
before the House, because earnest adj
vOcates of the system are certain to
inject it on the floor as an amend
ment to the committee bill If that bill
comes from the committee as now
outlined No final vote in committee
has been taken.
Representative Kahn, chairman of
the House committee, is directing the
formulation of the new bill, and is
supporting the provisions which will
be offered as "A substitute for univer-
sal training.
