DEFENSE TEST
PLANNED FOR
JULY4
War Department Meets Cool
idge's view-Must Change
All Arrangements

Acting upon the suggestion OF
President Coolidge, the department
today began preparations for hold
ing it's second national defense Test
on the Fourth Of July.
The departments original sug-
gestion was to hold the defense test
on Armistice Day, which did not
meet with the Presidents approval
hecause of his belief that that day
was dedicated to peace and should
not be made the occasion Tor a
military display.
ARMY officers. and War Depart
ment officials have no objection to
holding the. test on July 4 III 1t is
possible to complete their plans ny
that date:
Plans now arranged were predicat-
ed on the assumption that the test
could be held in November and
consequently must be completely
Ire-arranged.
Whether the comprehensive la-
tion-wdde arrangements necessary can
be completed in time to hold ne
test in July is a question under
study by the general staff.
\ President Coolidge's suggestion
that the governors Of the States
be notified that the tests planned
are purely voluntary meets with
the approval of the War Depart
ment as it is said Acting Secretary
Davis has already been informed
that the majority of governors are
in favor Of the test.
