SENATOR NELSON
FOR 10000 ARMY
Suggests 0ne-Third Train for
Year Only in Opposing
Universal Training.

Opposing universal military training,
Senator Nelson OF Minnesota in the Sen
ate today urged that q Regular Army of
100000 men be established under the
reorganization bill. with proviso
that one-third of this force should be
trained only for a year. In this way.
ne c0ntended. 1t would soon be pos
sible to have n large number of Young
men with military training in the
country and at the same time the
entire youth of the country would not
be called upon to undergo military
training.
Senator Nelson argued that the pro-
posal for universal training in the
bill reported by the Senate committee
WAS undemocratic and militaristic.
Peace Strength Issue Deferred.
"A ae.ss.nent not to fix the peace
time strength Of the Army until the
question OF universal training has
been disposed Of was reached yester
Gay by the Senate when consideration
OF tho Army reorganization bill was
resumed
Chairman WRdsworth of the mill
tary committee said he was mot will
Ing to vote at this time on the train
ing feature and no time was fixed for
= vote. The provision Of the measure
for universal training is expected to
be reached before the end of the week.
Bill Attacked by Senator Mcclellan.
The Army bill was attacked as a
measure that would build up a mill
tary system equal to any that ever
existed in any country at any time"
by Senator Mcclellan, democrat
(Tenn.). during consideration of the
legislation yesterday.
The Tennessee senator's criticism
was directed principally at the pro-
vision Of the bill for a large general
staff. the creation Of the Office Of I'M
dersecretary Of war and for the or
ganization Of q war council to con-
slider policies affecting military and
munition problems. Senator Nickel
lar indicated his opposition to uni
versal military training. but reserved
his attack upon it until the general
fight on the plan is brought to the
Senate floor.
Measure Is Defended.
Senator W, q worth. republican,
New York. in charge of the bill, and
Senator Frelinghuysen, republican.
New Jersey. answering Senator Nc
Kellar. declared the legislation sought
only to adopt lessons learned from
the world war. and was designed to
eliminate "red tape" and promote ef-
ficiency in the War Department.
