WILSON CITES POSITION
on Army Training Measure
at Caucus.

Washington, Feb. 10.-President
Wilson opposes the plan to have the
Democratic members of the house at
their caucus make an issue Of uni
versal military training. The presi-
dents views are set forth In a letter
to Secretary Baker, transmitted to
Democratic leaders In the house. Mr..
Wilson says 1t would be unfortunate
to make a party issue on this subject,
particularly since within a few months
the party will assemble In convention
and declare the principle upon which
II deems II wise to commit itself In a
national election"
The president says the disturbed
state Of the world "does not permit
such sureness with regard to Americas
obligations as to allow us lightly to
decide upon this great question upon
purely military grounds"
