sufficient gravity to justify him in
taking such risks. The elder Aspin.
wall claimed that he had already ar.
ranged for bail for his son with the

VETERANS RE-ENLISTlNG
IN GREAT NUMBERS
Veterans Answer Call for
$4,000 Men to Replace Troops
Overseas.

New York, March 29.-American
veterans of the Chateau Thlerry.
Champagne, the Lorraine fronts and
the Argonne, who only a few weeks
ago accepted their army discharges,
are daily re-enlisting here and in in
creasing numbers, it was announced
today at the United States recruiting
offices.
The headquarters is enrolling men
responding to the wal departments
call for $4,000 volunteers for service
in France to relieve an equal number
of men with the American expedition
airy force.
Men re-enlisting have been asked
why and 40 per cent answered that
they desired to return to France, 32
per cent wanted vocational training,
16 per cent replied that "the army
makes a man of you" and the others
said they liked the life or could not
find employment.

Wadsworth Of New York, who in the
next congress is to be chairman Of
the senate committee on military af-
fairs.
This service, according to the plans
of the senator, which may be modified
by his colleagues, is to consist of
three months of rigorous training for
every physically fit and dependent
free lad in the United States who
reaches the age of nineteen. There
are a million sue hyouths every year
and it is calculated that about ESQ, 900
would be eligible. The senator argues
that the war has proven that such
training, given in the summer, would
be ample to put the private soldier in
shape for any situation into which he
might be called in the future. The ex-
pense would be much less than that of
more lengthy and onerous service
heretofore proposed. The canton
ments already built would be used and
thus full advantage be taken of the
machinery constructed for the war
against Germany.
Immediately after the short service
the senator, himself a veteran of the
Spanish war, is of the opinion that
all such youths should become a part
of a regiment accredited to their homo
localities, respectively. They would
then be enabled to fight in the future
side with their townsmen
side by side with their townsmen. The
number of regiments which have SER
we'd with distinction would be retain
ed and the members would form in eff
feet a national guard. Maneuvers
would be held every two years.
The senator believes that a regular
standing army of about 100, 900 men
The senator believes that a g
lar standing army of about 10000
men raised by voluntary enlistment,
would be sufficient for the needs of
the country. Along with this he pro-
poses a larger personnel Of officers
than would be required for such an
army, in order that it might be utiliz-
ed in training those undergoing their
service in colleges and universities
as we'll as in environments. Privates
who have already served would be US
ed as noncommissioned officers, if
they SO desired. For veterans of the
wal there would be no further service
except rs volunteered. They could
be called out only in the event of a
great emergency. Training for the
younger men is thought necessary by
the senator, not only because of prep
a~ration for national defense but be-
cause of Indictment to patriotism and
the democratic spirit.
