MASS RECRUITING
MAPPED BY ARMY
Agency to Enlist 100000 in
so Days Planned by
General staff.
n the Associated Press.

The Army is preparing to create Q
recruiting agency which could be re-
lied upon in the event Of war, to en-
list at least 100000 volunteers during
the first so days Of hostilities.
The agency is intended to supply
manpower for the swift expansion OF
military units to combat strength,
while the contemplated universal
draft Is being put into operation.
General staff officers are working
out the framework of the new system
and expect to complete 1t within the
next few months. 1t then will be
submitted to the adjutant general of
each State for the preparation and ex-
ecution of detailed plans.
Broadly, the idea calls for the for
nation of semi-mil.tary or civilian
recruiting committees" in strategic
sections of every State, which would
be prepared to plunge into enlistment
campaigns Immediately on the out
break Of war.
Flying Squadrons."
They would function much on the
order Of present-day community
drives" for charitable purposes. Lead
Ing citizens and members of patriotic
organizations probably will be asked
to form the nuclei of such flying
squadrons
They would operate under the imme-
dlAte direction of the respective adju-
tants general and their National Guard
stans, whose work in turn would be
integrated with that of the War De-
partment's mobilization section.
Louisiana already has perfected such
plan. Pennsylvania has one in
preparation
The recruiting system would be part
OF the Governments general mobiliza-
ton program. According to an official
statement, this program calls for ex-
pansion Of the Regular Army and the
National Guard to 100000 fighting
men by the end: of the fourth month
of war. Their combined contemplated
peacetime strength now is roughly
$4,000.
Army officers estimate that 10000
OF this increase would be needed in
the first month and 100000 by the
end of the second.
Selective Draft Also.
A so-called selective draft, modelled
on the one used in the World War,
would be depended upon to furnish
most of the necessary additions. But
the high command estimates that
from IS to so days would be required
to get the draft machinery operating
at full speed.
The new form of mass recruiting
OF volunteers has been decided upon,
therefore, as the most practicable
means of preventing the loss of pre-
cious time in putting large numbers
OF. flghting men into the field.
Adoption of this innovation was
prompted by the unsatisfactory re-
suits obtained from orthodox recruit
ing methods during the World War.
In the first month of American par
ticipation there were only sc, 900 vol
unteer enhstments.
The scarcity of volunteers in 1917
could not be charged to a lack of
patriotism on the part of the young
men Of the country" says Col. Sand
erford Jarman, an officer of the mobi-
llzation section of the General Staff.
Nor is 1t thought that it will be lack
ing in future emergency"
He blamed instead the lack OF suf-
ncient personnel devoted to recruiting
and the fact that Army men assigned
to such duties were strangers to most
of the prospective volunteers

Phase Of Old Tussle.
Today's warfare in the Orient is, in
fact, \ phase of the old tussle between
Japanese and British interests in
China. During the months before il
broke out British investments were
pouring into Central and South China
in volume which astonished those
who thought England was finished
east OF Suez. English capital, inter-
ested in safe and profitable invest
ments, became impressed about a yea1
ago with the stability and accomplish
ments of the Chang Kai-shek Soone
regime at Marking. English industrial
management, engineering skill and
some capital had been going out tc

dant ready native Indian money. This
later developed into wave whose crest

British funds, was planned to run ur

OF Formosa. The Japanese damned
the project as strategic, not economic
in spite of the-rich mining and trop-
lcal territory to be tapped. Britain
got million-dollar contract for Can
tons water works, put in trolley, bus
systems, built tobacco factories as far
north as Hainan. The trade of HonR
Kong doubled in one year. In April
the British Ambassador and the export
credit director made a grand tour OF
South China, while the japanese
looked on, green with envy. This en-

The Chinese patriots, bitterly anti
British in 1929, were only too glad to
encourage all this British investment
as an offset to the Japanese menace
Moreover, Chinese oficialdom has
adopted more enlightened attitude
toward the use of foreign capital in

Method Of Extending

Problem Of Group

Final committee action will be
taken early next week on the
Ramspeck bill to extend the
classified civil service to some
100000 employees in emergency
agencies of the Federal Govern.
ment, it was announced today by
Representative Robert Ramspeck
CD, of Georgia, author Of the
measure and chairman of the
House Civil Service Committee.
Representative Ramspeck said
hearings on the bill will be re-
sumed Tuesday, with testimony
from personnel chiefs from vari.
Gus Cove nment agencies. The
testimony will be concluded either
Tuesday or Wednesday, he said.

fronts the Civil Service Commit.

ings.
In general, the witnesses have
recommended non-competitive ex-
aminationS as the most efficient
procedure, pointing out that open
competitive tests would entail con-
siderable confusion and expense
and might also disqualify incum-
bentS without regard to their ex.
perience.
Blanket" Plan Urged
E. Claude Babcock, president Of
the United Civil Service Employees,
startled the committee yesterday
with a recommendation to blanket
into the Civil Service all incum-
bents in the agencies that would
be included in the measure.
Under terms of Representative
RamSpeck's bill, the President
would be authorized to extend, by
Executive Order, Civil Service
status to such agencies as he
sees fit.

"Some of the District employees
