INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. o7.-As-
sorting that thousands of soldiers
went into the front-line trenches un-
lble to shoot the rifles they were
carrying, Alvin Owsley, national Com
mander of the American Legion,
made a plea for preparedness to
eliminate sifilar situation in the
next war, at a national gathering of
Legion state adjutants here.
Mr.. Owsley urged the retaining of
A sufficient army and navy so that
it would not be necessary to rely
upon other nations while the United
States is training it's armed forces
in any future conflicts.
G. L. FoFbre. of Dallas, adjutant
of the Texas department, also drew
the attention of the Legion men to
the fact that unframed troops were
sent to the front line during the
World War
while serving at the front with
the 32nd division, I transferred men
to replacement troops and saw them
go into the front line trenches and
shot down when they could have
protected themselves had they been
trained even in the use Of rifas.'
Mr. FoEbre said MANY of these men
men been drafted into service be.
tween six weeks and two months be-
fore they were rushed into action
The views of the Texas Legion
official were supported by Austin A.
Peterson, Wisconsin adjutant, who
urged the adjutants "to realize the
seriousness of the preparedness sit
uaton at this time, particularly in
view of the ever-increasing danger
of the Turkish and Near East ques-
ton
Other Legion speakers urged the
adjutants to encourage voluntary en-
listment in the army in their states
and to advocate military training on
a larger scale in the high schools,
colleges, universities and physical
training in the grade schools. 1t was
asserted that the enlisted strength
of the regular United States army
at this time is even below the latest
figure set by Congress.
