Time Element Dependent on Supply

Time Element Dependent on Supply The time necessary to mobilize for | the defense of the nation under this
 plan is dependent principally on the factor of supply. Men and units
 would be called only as fast as they
 could be supplied with uniforms and
 equipment, sheltered and trained. After mobilization of the smaller hunits, such as companies, battalions
 and regiments, the higher units, di-
 visions, army corps and field armies
 would be built up. In general, troops
 of the regular army and the national
 guard would be called out first and prepared for active campaigning. As soon as these troops had mobilized, expanded to war strength and left their areas. the organized reserves would commence their actual mobili- zation, using the shelter and other fa- clities in their communities pre- viousy used by preceding troops. Coincident with the mobilization of troops the organization of the special services and activities necessary to place an army In the field and main- tain it there would be carried on; headquarters and supply points would be established in each, mobilization area at points already designated: re- placement centers completed; hospi- tsls established; replacement training organized; additional shelter built, etc.
 Plans Will Promote Economy
 The outstanding improvements of the plans over the methods employed inthe world war are:
 The preparation in time Of peace of organizations with officers already as- signed, to receive and utilize the man power of the nation in time of emer- gency.
 Preparation by each corps area l commander, each divisioin. regimen tall. battalion and company com mander, of individual. or unit, plans | into the war department | plans and covering all the details of the mobilization of his unit in case it ever becomes necessary; such plans to be kept up to date by frequent re- vision.
 Local management of the carly stages Of mobiizing the nations forces. Never again will men be ierded into huge contonments erected at enormous expense, far from home and friends. Instead men will collect themselves together naturally, much as our forefathers did in the American Revolution and each town md state will be largely responsible ior it's own troops

A plea for more effective super
vision of the large negro migration

ed with applause and referred to
the committee.

sion united action by all the
branches of the Methodist Church
looking toward universal peace was
asked by Presiden William B.
McCutcheon, of Queen College
Melbourne, Australia, addressing
the Methodist Episcopal Conference
Monday. He said the Methodist
Episcopal church, the Methodist
church, South, and the English
Methodist church should unite to a
declaration against war.
The plan to outlaw war was sup
ported by representatives. Of the stu
dent movement, including Walter
Mueller, of the Garrett Biblical
Institute Of Evanston, H., and R. D.
Ware Of Vanderbilt University,
Nashville, Tenn.
Ware advocated not only action
against war, but a union Of the two
great branches of the Methodist

Much time was devoted to res
olution urging Congress to defeat
SO beer bills now before it and To
strengthen dry law enforcement.
The resolution would place prohi-
bition agents under civil service
and proposes the deportation Of
aliens who violate prohibition laws.
