COMPULSORY MILITARY
 TRAINING TO BE FOUGHT
It's Opponents Say the Plan Tends Toward Militarism and Is Too
 Expensive.

WaSh'neton.--Opp Opponents of comp1l- sory military training, which just now is the most expressing issue be.4re the members Of Congress, will make q fight in the House in favor of suDsti- ute measure providing for Inc en. commencement of reserve officers tram ing corps in the schools and colleges and fcr volunteer summer camps on the Plattsburg plan.
 Universal traini1g will be fought on two grounds. First, that it tends toward militarism, and second. that t1e country c@uat affold il fnancally. Powerful support to tb" opposition was given by thc recent statement of Re- publican leader Mendell that eom- pulsory training as called for the Wadswcrth Senate hiu would Cost S1,- 000to0. .0o0
 The a5eumeut is advanced That Congress should give attention to re- oreanizing= the regular army, whose morale is notoriously low at present. and To building up the National G#rd before installing costly system of universal training as a settled natIonal policy. These things having been done. fl k said, Congress and he country can decide al leisure whether universal training is desirable
