Universal Military Training
May Not Be Included in
Reorganization Bill.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Universal
military training may not be includ-.
ed in the house army reorganization
bill under a plan adopted by repub-
lican leaders calling for considera-
ton of the measure. None of the
leaders would deny that omission
of a training plan was likely, but
asserted no final agreement had
been made with advocates of train
ing.
The military committee will con-
tinue work on the army reOrganiza-
ton bill Tuesday and it is possible
some decision on universal training
will be made then.
Standing Peace Army.
The bill provides standing peace
army with a maximum strength of
250,000 men and 1900 officers. This
force would be skeleton of nine di-
visions, capable of expansion in
time of war, and besides including
infantry, cavalry and artillery, would
provide personnel for the aviation,
chemical warfare and tank corps.
The national guard, under the
house bill, would remain at its pres
ent strength of 800 men to each con-
gressional district. but the measure
would provide more 1eniently for or
ganization of companies. Until July
j, 1921, the enlisted strength of a
company for federal recognition
would be fixed at so men and after
that at 65. Enlistments would be
for three or five years.
Guard Subject to State Call.
To obviate the situation arising
at the end of the war when the dis
charge of the state troops from the
army left the states without a mill
tia, the bill provides that under SIM
liar circumstances a discharge by
the federal government leaves the
guard subject to state call unless
decided to the contrary by state au-
thorities.l g.
Aviation under the bill would be
in charge of major general with
l,500 officers, ranking from second
lieutenants to colonels, and 10000
men. The tank corps would be made
an infantry arm, and the chemical
warfare service would be separate
corps, comprising 90 officers and
1,500 men. r.

SUBURBAN LEAGUE
GONE Way OF DO DO.

The Suburban baseball league has
vanished.
1t all came about when Centerville
became peeved over a ruling of Pres
ident George Brehm that because of
forfeited game last month. a game
should be added to the win side OF
Eldorado's ledger, and one to the op-
posite side for Centerville.
Brehm offered to call a meeting of
league managers and settle the dis,
pute, but Centerville wanted Brehm
to rescind the ruling or else Center
Vile would drop from the league.
Brehm countered by throwing UP
the reins.
1t is probable the teams of the for
mer Suburban league will arrange a
series of games and the winner will
challenge the Richmond Eagles.
