Pershing Proposes
Wide Development
OF Citizen Army
Offers Plan to House Cou-
fcreCs to Use Reserve aud
Non Commissioned Of
hccrs 10 Train Forces

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S s uev
Economic priuciplo' to govern peace
time maintenance of all branches of
the army. regulars, National Guard or
organized reserves. was laid to-day by
General Tershinc before tho House sub
committee on army appropriations.
Tho formal statement presented by
General Pershing did not deal with
specific questions as to the strength
of the regular army during the coming
fiscal year. the general saying. how
ever. that ain view OF possible rc-
duction' in army strength consdora
tion Of the "devel lopment Of a national
army from an economical standpoint"
became especially important.
The generals statement concluded
the bearings the committee has been
holding on the subject and it is cx-
pected TO be prepared to submit its
report in about week
After pointing out that the regular
army was "relatively small at present"
and limited in numbers first by the
existing army organization act and
later by appropriations acts General
Pershng said that the following eco
nomic principle might be stated a to
the military organization that the coun-
try should maintain:
In organizing the peace establish =
mont no unit should be maintained in
d more expensive category if it can be
safely and advantageouslv maintained
II less expensive category and mobl-
lied thorefrom in time TO meet the re
quirements Of an emergency
The general said that the cost Of
each group Of the new army was diff
ferent. the regulars being more costly
than the National Guard, which in turn
cost more than the organized reserves.
In explanation Of this he added that
1T would, of course, be understood
that regular army organizations must
be maintained for duty in foreign gar
risons, upon the Mexican border. for
emergency service al nome or cXpedi
tlonary purposes abroad and for all
other Duties which. in the nature Of
things, could not be performed by the
citizen soldiers"
Application Of this principle, General
Pershing said, would LAY the founda-
ton for military organization at
minimum cost
A second conclusion given by the
commander Of the army was as fol.
lows:
The primary mission Of the regular
personnel within the United States is
to develop the National Guard and the
organized reserves and to establish a
national training system.
Still another principle General Per
shing laid down was as follows:
In training the citizen army we
should employ as many reserve officers
and on-commissioned officers IS pos.
sibe as student instructors and staff
personnel in our training camps anG
! other raining establishments"

from May Is to September 80, with.
final return limit Of October 81, bas-

be encouraged to come at their con-
venience with more satisfactory re-
