Universal Army Training
Is Urged as Economy
Military Camps Association De-
clares System Would Save
United States Millions

The Military Training Camps Asso-
citation, in a statement issued yester-
day, contends that universal training
Is far more economical than defense,
which necessitates the use Of a pro-
fessional army. The association takes
exception to Representative Mondelps
statement that universal training would
cost 100000 600 a year." and states
that 1t would cost only $125, 100000.
The statement reads:
"a system of national de ense based
on universal training is cheaper than
one based on professional army.
Without universal training we shall
need large professional army to pro-
tect our overseas possessions and for
home, defense. With citizen army,
based on universal training, the pro-
fessional army could easily be reduced
by more than 100000. The cost Of tho
professional army a man is estimated
by General March at $1,000; the uni

Police Regiment
OF Sharpshooters
Fully Organized
Complete Quota of 1000,
Selected to Quell Rioters,
Assembled, and Intensive
Drills Soon Will Begin

New York's regiment Of 1000 sharp
shooters, an emergency auxiliary of
+he Police Department, which will act
20 put fear into the hearts Of rioters
and mob participants, has taken def
n,te form. The full quota Of men has
heen assembled. it was learned yester-
dav. and within two weeks intensive
drill will begin at the armory Of the
1sth Coast Artillery, in Brooklyn.
This city will be the first in America,
q is believed, to have Its own perma-
nent sharpshooting establishment. The
idea Of organizing such force came
from Police Commissioner Enright,
who. several weeks ago, authorized
Acting Police Captain Charles Scho-
field. drillmaster OF the Police Depart
ment. to start the recruiting Of the
military unit from among the men of
the force.
The regiment is given official status
under the organization system, and
officers and men will be paid according
to rank in the police establishment.
The only difficulty Captain Schofield
canization is in the selection Of
officers A problem arises when an ex-
army officer who happens to be merely
a patrolman private" presents himself
as rival of police officer for a COM
mission in the new organization.
Question of Morale
Thus far Acting Captain Schofeld
has found it more satisfactory to give
oAn a.
simply matter of morale, as in any
other military unit, and because it
would be highly improper to place a
patrolman who had been an army
officer in charge Of commissioned per-
sonnel of the police force the COM
mauder purposes to select his officers
with view to keeping down jealousy
As in other military organizations
ability demonstrated in the ranks Of
the sharpshooters' regiment will be the
basis for promotions to the commits
stoned rank.
Qualifications, both physical and
mental, for membership in the regi-
ment have been so graded as to bring
into the organization the most SOL
dierly policemen on the city's pay roll.
Military experience, however, is a
dominant consideration, and for the
most part Schotield's regiment is made
up OF war veterans.
Squads Quickly Assembled
From each of the fifty or more sta
tion houses in the city two men will be
drawn to form unit Of ten squads, or
Companies" in time of serious dis
order This means that in the event
Of demon tration by the Reds" or
other revolutionary aggregations, when
the lives of law-abiding citizens might
be endangered, 100 soldiers of the city,
armed with regulation rifles and
equipped with steel helmets, will as
semble at a given point without delay
and be ready for action. The re-
mainder of the regiment 1orms re-
serve force.
When not on active duty the regi-
ment VIII keep up its drills and in
tividual members will patrol their
usual beats as uniformed policemen.
Target practice will be held at stated
periods and probably next summer the
regiment Will go into camp for two or
three weeks of intensive training.
