Another gunsmith said that a no.

most every case a revolver of a small
calibre. He also said that care was

justed as occasion demands. Other
features include:

the Interstate Commerce Commission
on a percentage basis, so that en-
ployes might benefit by profit sharing
or by insurance. or in other ways TO
be determined. Also, that railroads
showing efficiency and initiative
would gain part of this percentage,
and so that part of the excess could
be used for Improvement Of railroad
properties.
Extension of Federal rate regulation
through the Interstate Commerce
Commission, .co-ordinating with it six
subsidiary regional commissions to
bave the right of determination of
rates and regulations, with the right
of appeal to the Interstate Commerce

Wednesday afternoon at the Willard.
Mr.. Barrett reported that his. sug-
gestion had been met with the heart

The interesting part of the atti-

TO our country is the fact that they

for all nations Mr.. Barrett said.
Several diplomatic leaders, who are

YEARS TRAINING
IN ARMY URGED.
Senator New Introduces
Bill for Universal Mill
tary Policy.

Universal military training for all
youths between the ages OF Is and
rs should be the fixed policy Of the
United States. Senator Harry S.
New, of Indiana, said in introducing
his universal training bill yesterday.
The bill would give one years
training to all young men who are
native born as well as the sons of
those who nave declared their in
tention of becoming American citi-
ems. The only excuses from this OBJ
legation which would be acceptable
would be the support of parents, a
wife or children, and then only in
the event that legislation for the
support of dependents is not pro-
vided by Congress.
The United States would be di-
vided into zones or districts, with
examining boards to pass upon ap-
plications for exemption. All per-
sons trained would automatically
become members Of the national re-
serve without compensation when
the period of training is at an end.
No Pay During Training.
In time of war or other emergency
they would be liable to service by
classes. No pay for the young men
during their training is provided by
the bill, the theory being that the
training is one OF the duties and OBJ
legations OF citizenship and should
be carried on without compensation.
Provision for subsistence. clothing,
transportation, medical attendance
and shelter is made, together with
n gratuity OF s. per month to each
member OF the force in training.
All persons who have served in
the army or navy during the recent
emergency will be considered to have
had the necessary training and are
exempt from the provisions of the
bill.
Senator New told the Senate the
cost of maintaining the army of $40
600 proposed by the General Stan bill
would be s797. 10000 on the basis of
nay during the war. and s713,000, 900
on the pTe-war basis. The expense
OF the military training plan pro-
posed by him would be ONLY about
SEO.OO0OOO for the training of 10000
men. he said.
senator New explained that in
drafting the bill he had consulted a
number Of army officers, and express
cd the opinion that the measure
should not be definitely acted upon
until Gen. PershinE and other officers
have returned from Europe and
Eiven their views on the subject.
