WAR De PARTMENT
WANTS INCREASED
STANDING ARMY
Favors System of Compulsory
Military Training
THREE MONTHS SERVICE
For All Eligible Youths in Nineteenth
Year-Peace Strength of 51o,-
900 Men

Washington, Aug, 5.-This country
will have standing army of over
100000 enlisted men if the reeemmen
dation of the war department is heed
J ed. 1t provides for a system of uni.
yersal military training of three
months for all eligible youths in their
nineteenth year. and making this a
permanent policy.
The proposal is contained in a bill
proposed by the general staff of the
army at the secretary's direction. In
transmitting the bill, Secretary Baker
in letter said that Generl Perish
ing had not been consulted and the
plan was tentative to that extent
The departments bill calls for a
regular army of q divisions and nee
bessary auxiliary services, with a
peace strength of $4,000 enlisted
men, and a war strength of 1,250000.
The reserves to fill up the divisions
to full strength would be provided
through a modified form of the selec-
tive service act under which the
national army was raised for the war
with Germany
For training purposes, only youths
in their nineteenth year would be
called TO the colors for a three month
period, to be attached to regular div
isions for that time. II is estimated
that this would provide an annual
class of 100000 men to be given in
tensive military instruction. stripped
of all vocational or other educational
features.
For two years after training the
youths would be required to submit
certin reports giving their addresses.
changes in status as to dependents,
physical condition, etc. They would
receive 81 for each report called for
and submitted thus encouraging
making reports.
In the event of war all men in this
status would be called to the colors
to fill up the regular divisions and
compose the first replacement units.
No mention of the National Guard
is made in the bill, but in his. letter
to the committee chairmen, Secretary
Baker said he assumed that the ma
tional defense ct would be continued
in force. making the guard subject to
liberalization for war
One feature of the universal train
ing plan of the department is com
plete federtion of the registration
and induction machinery. Local and
appeal boards would be creted as
during the war, except that compensa
tion would be so day is provided
for board officials but no mention is
made of employing state officials or
agencies in carrying out the project.
Youths in training would receive no
pay, but would receive payment for
all expenses and an allowance of IS
month for incidentals No exemp-
tions would be granted except to sol
diers, sailors. members of the mer-
chant marine, public or private, or to
those mentally or physically defici-
ent To meet the case of those with
dependents, however, provision is
made for deferring the training per-
iot.

MUST HAVE 100 MEN
For Companies to Be Formed in the
National Guard

Adjutant General H. T. Johnson has
received from the war department ad-
vice that no company CT infantry will
be organized after this date with less
than 100 men per company. This will
materially affect Vermont, for there
are several towns in which efforts are
being made to organize companies.
Those companies, which have been or
ganized have until Dec. 81 to increase
their membership to 100 men
The refusal of Connecticut to accept
the offer of the government for sew
eral organizations on the grounds that
they have home guard of large size
will probably result in Vermont secur-
ing additional units, provided the state
wants to accept these. Nothing new
has developed relative to the assign
ment of the place In which armories
will be constructed.

SIMPLE LIFE AT BALMORAL

most unaffected worshipers, King

To put it in the popular language of
the countryside, ''they have no sile,''
and as they drive out, walk out or visit
the cottagers on the estate that quiet,
honey way remains with them
The Highlanders are touched with
this simplicity, and when the king meets
an old gillie or keeper who knew him
when he was a MILDLY and on a visit to
the castle the Highlander is delighted
to know, that the days when he was
taught the love Of rod and gun are not
forgotten.
The simple life is being spent at Bal
moral and the Scottish people would say
they have picked their. company weel."
