COST OF new ARMY

Universal Training Backbone
Of Peace Time Policy.

Washington, Aug. S.-An army OF
$4,000 regulars and system OF COM
pulsory military training as proposed
in the war department bill establish
ing a permanent peace-time military
policy, would cost the nation $4,000
900 year.
This estimate was given to the sen
ate military committee by General
March, chief of staff.
Nine months compulsory military
training for youths was recommended
by the special board of army officers
appointed to study the matter, he told
the committee.
The general staff reduced the peri
cd to seven months. General March
said, and later this was cut TO three
months, but over his opposition.
Universal training, he said, was the
backbone" of the departments bill,
adding that as the government now
has the cantonments this was an ap-
propriate time to inaugurate the plan

RACE RIOTS HURT
OUR REPUTATION
OUTBREAK IN WASHINGTON BAD
FOR CITY THAT IS PULPIT
OF WORLD PEACE. -
MANY EXPLANATIONS GIVEN
Nest Reasonable Is That Nerves of
the People Are on Edse-MIIitary
Discipline Speedily Restored Among
Men In Uniform.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

/
Observation-Disclosures, the capi.
tai Of the United States, has been the
scene Of race riots While this city
has been looked to in q sense as the
pulpit Of peace for all people, its own
citizens have been at one another's
throats. 1t is possible that Mexico
and some Of the far eastern countries
will look at the spectacle with some
thing like ironic amusement.
Scores Of reasons have been ad-
,vRnced for the outbreak. None of
them seems exactly to fit the case, but
perhaps the sanest one is that the
nerves Of all the people are on edge.
and that it has taken only a little
noise to send them beyond control.
The riots began on Sunday night,
when the only weapons used were
fists. Comparatively little harm was
done. Some soldiers took part in the
initial disturbances, but discipline
soon took them out Of the field. The
train had been fred, however, and
even In thesface Of military and police
authority men and women battled In
the streets and alleys and even In
the houses Of this town which usually
is a place Of steady habits.
/ There are men in Washington who
are in a position to trace the effects
TO their causes who say that the re
sentiment Of the people against what
they have called too drastic punish
ments for military and civil offenses
during the war has had its natural
result.
The men who hold to this view say
that soldiers and civilians have been
led to believe that, because of the tenn

cali excessive punishments, some Of

FONTS TO BANKING INTERESTS
Author of Labor Plan Bill Will SUBJ
nit Evidence to a Conference at
Washington.

WdSFiiflSSOu.
Washington, Aug. S.-Leading di-
reclIy from Wall street and from the
banking houses controlled directly by
the Morgan and Rockefeller groups,
information which has come into the
possession of the railroad brother
hoods show that there has pro-
cceded a systematic plundering of vir-
tualy all of the public transporta-
ton highways in the United States.
The house interstate commerce
committee was told this by Glenn h.
Plumb, of Chicago.
Mr.. Plumb, who appeared in sup
porr of the sO-called Plumb plan for
the reorganization of the railroads,
Of which he is the author, said the
Information tended to show that the
''wrecking and looting" of the New
Haven, Chicago and Alton, Rock Is
land and Frisco lines were mot spo-
radio examples of the highway rob
berry TO which the American nation
has been subjected as to its public
transportation highways"
Definite information on which his
charges were based, Mr.. Plumb said,
would be turned over to the commit
tee upon which it may ask for full
congressional investigation"
''We believe such an investigation"
he continued, twill reveal that not
one railroad system dominating any
part of the 254,0OO miles of railroad
in the United States but has suffered
annd is suffering in degree, if not to
the same extent, from carefully de-
liberated manipulations of the sort
that have wrecked and ruined the
railroads l have mentioned.
'It will reveal that these interests
are again gathering their forces of
private and secret control and seek,
after having gained from congress
sanction to rehabilitate their railroad
properties at public expense, to be-
gin again and follow through tits cor.
rupt and wicked cycle the systematic
ed plundering and loOting Of the pub
lie and the public interest iE the ma
tion'S highways.
"Ip view OF the gravity OF this sit
uatiOn and in order that we may have
the benefit of their counsel on behalf
of the public in presenting our state
ment to congress and to the American
people, the fourteen affiliated railway
labor organizations are summoning to
Washington a national conference on
railroad control.
"In view of this action by the affi-
lated labor organizations which
represent, and on behalf of organized
labor and the public, I will therefore
ask to reserve this information which
is in our possession until it can be
properly prepared and submitted to
the jury OF congress and of public
opinion"
