Feb. 13, m. re a ef re 'e rr rtatoK I low are we to obtain la tba next five or six years eou.ouo or M0.O0O men fitted to defend their country, and bow to their number to bo Increased, aa it reliably must be. la tha years to follow? The answer to: Voluntary service or conscription, with tho popular vote arnareaUy dead against tha latter. New It ta ono thing to vote for volun-ttry service and quits another thing to one's self as a volunteer, and to tho raising of a volunteer force something bettor thaa a It Will te Bwcesaary to offer the ono inducement hkk will appeal to both tho recruit and his employer a minimum period of annual actlva service.

Oa tha other liand. an army whether Federal, ml-I i la, or what.no to of little nee If IU f-rsonnel bo Indifferently trained, bo-causo there to a lot to be learned and a recruits, with few exceptions, will tavo ao groundwork of experience npoa to build. If they had that roundwork if they ovoa knew aa mack st tho average regular soldier at tho end or his enlistment period It might fee posalble to give them tho Intensive -training noeosaary to tho molding r-f an army and to got thont back to their work la weeks Instead af months, aad. as baa been said. If we caa show a shorter barm of annual service wo shall got recruits la far rreater aambera.

Axe I right la suppoe-I that this bag been tha stumbling Ux-k now to get trained assa without taking tbeoa from their ordinary labors, aare for brief portoda af timet It must not bo- forgotten that tho foundwora of MUtry training, whllt Urxely elemental, should bo thorough and must take, considerable time. It consjpta la part of a I als-arorklng knowl-of the following! itUns. rtne and pistol praetico, torching ami driRTcamptng and cook-lr swimming, tiding, horeoohoolna. in, tuadin whmu. parsing mules, 1 -t kd.

Buremi, i'n a rroundeork of such knowledge a I sttrt on a safs footing, and training that follows may roMKixt In taaciiing them to apply i smuadwerk to tha asore advanoad i of attack and defense, so-, a4 information. Ac. To give ai vanned lotcnalvo training to m-n who have no groundwork of knowledge means doing one or oujer of two thlnse which are bad -r taking tho time of tho young i for Imparting tho needed rtu or wasting ttielr time and t.f h-lr Instruct o-e In probahljr arrete ta make tnem apply i ihry really do not poeeeea. it is i.i-nl. than, that tho ground- mupt be rained tho yeara before uv r-i'iy to become the recruit.

The boys should bo from IS to IT (Inclusive) years, certified by the home teachers as proficient In the subjects studied by those of their ago, snd either American born or the sons of naturalised ritlsens. Each boy should havs tho eon-sent of parent or guardian and be pre pared to unuerso a inorougn pnrsicai examination. would be foolish to spend our money in preparing tor sorties men who would be too old or top eek to flsht, but this does not spply to those who are as yet too young-kather does It apply to soma extent to those estimable muldle-sged gentlemen who exercise themselves st business men's camps under the watchful 'yes of youthful and energetic army officers.

In addition to the subjects mentioned above as essential to a groundwork for army training the boys should havs Instruction, theoretical or practical, or tn ths following: Army regulations, elements ef International law and of military law, modern history, nvechani'-e, applied to motors: gunnery, field service, msps, field engineering, bridge building; motor vehicles, air vehicles, telegraphy and telephony. wlras. Of course, all these auhjecta would be spread over a two or three years' couree and much of the theoretical Instruction would be given by means of leclurca, Aa Interesting feature would bo that tha boys would be drawn from two groups, at present fsr apart In mutual undwrstanding one group that works hard during all the year and needs more of the outdoors In Summertime, snd another group that wastes most ol Its holidays, as lis parents will gladly testify. The advsntsge to tho nation should bo great If these two groups may thus bo made ono In manly effort and oo-operatiun. Roughly, this to ths Plan advocate to supply the groundwork needed by every young man who would become a skillful soldier.

Tbe unskillful sort I expert-eneed during the so-railed Spanish-Amarioan war their name waa lesion snd their avocation that of volunteer. I personally recruited and afterward commanded 'a battalion of them, and 1 know with what they had to contend. Ninety per cent, of tnem learned In six months the duties and responsibilities of a soldier, snd by that time the war had been over many moons. It was not their fault the groundwork was not there and It took thoeo months to acquire It. After a few yeara tho bays who hove been taught the groundwork will automatically fill the ranks of the army and its subsidiary units, (call them Continentals, or Militia, or Federal Volunteers.) and possibly of ths navy, and those not so.

needed will be Intelligent, useful oltlsens In far greater proportion than could otherwise happen. In the meantime let us content our-selvee with recruiting our regular army and navy to the maximum strength and let tha frame of the new army unit be erected and its further construction pushed to the utmost, ao that some two or three years trom now ths boys who have acquired tbe groundwork, the boys who will bo the first tn.thls country history to be really prepared to serve, may step Into sn organisation issdy to reoetve them, ready to commence Intensive training, ready at last to begin tha final education of the soldier. Students of military affairs will understand what Is meant by getting ready the frame." and they know that to prepare properly a rsms for nOo.uoo men wilt take the hardest kind of work for at least a couple of years. In tha mean while tha boy Is growing Into tho recruit. Why take young men away from their newly acquired dusIimsS or educational responsibilities for the long periods necessary for their preparatory training? Give them that training aa boVs and In later years they can and will spare the shorter periods of time needed for advanced Intensive training.

let us spend some of our money In a way that Is practical and In every sense worth while. JOHN MeCUNTOCK.
