FOR A MILITARY
TRAINING SYSTEM
Representative Group Of Draft

War Department Announces Data As.

haires At Camp De-
vans

Washington.-Oye in
dorsement of universal military
training system, coupled with equally
strong support for the existing dis
ciplinary~ relationship between Off
GERS and men of the army, was ex-
pressed by representative group OF
the selective service men of the
Twelfth Division, Camp Devens,
Mass. Just before the organization
was demobilized last January the
opinions of the men, numbering
1890, with an average length of
service of 10.7 months, were obtained
through a carefully arranged ques-
tionnaire system with every safe
guard provided to insure absolutely
free expression OF opinion and with
such distribution in the division as
to make the answers representative.
The report on the inquiry was
made public at the War Department.
1t is headed:
"Our military system as it APP
peared to Americas citizen soldiers"
Although half of the men ques-
toned were rated as dissatisfied with
military life, the report shows that
1915 per cent. of the replies expressed
the soldiers belief that he personally
had benefited by his army life, 70
per cent. were glad of their training
aside from feelings of patriotism and
So per cent. favored universal mill
tary training as a national policy.
A substantial majority agreed that
the existing relationship between
officers and men was necessary and
disapproved the social mixing of the
rank and file.
The largest number of suggestions
as to improvements in the service re-
ceived had to do with better fitting
uniforms or changes in mess arrange
ments.
There were more than 10000 men
in the Twelfth Division at the time
of the inquiry, representing AT States.
The organization was awaiting orders
for France when the armistice was
signed. 1t then suffered mere than
two months of waiting for demohill-
cation before the missionaries were
sent out, and the officers who devised
and supervised the inquiry point out
that it was thus calculated to reflect
army morale at its low ebb
Every provision was made to as
certain the views Of disconnected
men in order that the results might
have real value of the army. The
commanders of the so companies
were furnished with Is question
naires each, and instructed to give
them to six men of high intelligence
and rated as good soldiers, to six
others of equal intelligence but sup
posed to be disconnected with army
life, to three good soldiers of aver
age intelligence and to three others
of average intelligence who had in
Dictated views hostile to military dis
cipline. The men were told to SUBJ
nit their answers only Immediately
upon or after discharge, so no fear
of subsequent action by their officers
would impede the free expression of
their views.
