5. An outline of the army's part in the national defense program to be submitted to Congress in December by the administration was made public night by Secretary Garrison, disclosing officially for the first time detalisj of the plan to raise a great continental or citizen army to supplement the regular establishment. I brief, it is proposed to increase'; the regular army from 103,008 to 141.S43 officers and men (changing the term of enlistment from four years with the colors and three years on furlough to two years with the colors and four yeara oft furlough) to organize a ted- I eral citizen army of 400,000 (to be en- listed 133,000 a year for three years) to strengthen the state militia by in- creased appropriations and closer cooperation; and to spend $20,000,000 year for our yeara on coast defenses and 126,000,000 a year for four years in the accumulation of reserve material tor ue by a force of 501,000 men. Conferred With Private Citizens. The statement reveals that in the: preparation of their plans.

War Department officials have called into consultation specialists in various lines of private industry. "It has been proposed," it says, "to make available in time of need the rervices of those in certain kinds of employment requiring special knowledge and skill, such as railroad men, bridge builders, engineers of all descriptions, and leading men in these lines and professions have been collaborating with the War Department in an endeavor to formulate, by legislation or administrative action, an acceptable and useful rlan with respect thereto. Appeal Made to Employer. "In this connection, and because of the patriotic spirit thus displayed i it eems desirable to say that if those who are the employers of the young men of the country cannot by reason of age or situation life, give their personal service, they can do that which will be equally useful by en- couraging in every way the participation of those in their employ in the plan of national defense. If they would so arrange their business that a certain proportion of those whom they engage could undertake this national service without sacrificing their personal interests, those who did this thing would be acting in the most public-spirited and patriotic manner possible." The Citizen army would be recruited throughout the entire country and organized in geographical divisions.

Its members, though enlisted for six year terms, would be requireii to report for intensive training only for short periods each year for three years and during the remaining three years would be furloughed subject to call to the colors in time of war. For the next fiscal year, when It is proposed to put this new policy into operation. Congress will be asked to appropriate $182,71 7, 03i the second year the amount will he the third $228,315,879, and annually thereafter If the policy were continued without change the army budget would be $182. 234,559. Secretary Garrison's statement follows- Text of the Statement.

In Cronoslne: a milltarv nolirv to be adopted at this time, the very first thing to do must be to agree upon the proper basis. The subject could, theoretically, be approached without regard to existing constitutional ard legal provisions and existing institutions and sentiments. Undoubtedly this method would result in proposals would sound from a military point of view and would theoretically ap- proach perfection. The necessity of 1 making such a system practicable, however, would require constitutional amendments, a reversal of existing institutions, and the chang- I ing of existing sentiments to such i an extent as to make it a safe prediction that little, if anything, would be accomplished, and that only after the passage of a great length of time. The other possible merhod of approaching the subject is one' which recognizes existing constitutional i and legal provisions, existing institutions and the sentiments of the people insofar as they concern vital portions of the system.

As between the two methods of approach, it seems so clearly the part of wisdom to choose the one last i stated as not to require elaboration of reason. The essential, the imperative I thing, is to make such wise military i preparations and take such wise precautions as are presently pos sible. These reasons dispose of many suggestions which are entirely worthy of consideration from a mili- EACH Uneeda Biscuit is ust like every other Uneeda Biscuit perfect as soda crackers can be made.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY 5 'arv standpoint, but which could not be made effective under existing conditions.

Military systems based upon univereal military service, upon conscription. or upon national control of the public scool system, fail under this head, as also does any policy which can only be made operative bv a constitutional amerrtment or bv identical, contemporaneous legislation in the 4 states of the Cnion. In any policy proposed, moreover, the matter of the cost of its maintenance has much to do with its acceptability not that there should be anv legitimate objection to the necessary expense of a proper policy, but that there would be legitimate objection to the adoption of anv policy which was unnecessarily expensive. Based on Existing Laws The policy proposed, therefore, proceeds upon the basis of existing conditions of a legral and constitutional nature and recognizes existing institutions and the. feeling of the people concerning the general subteet matter.

The Constitution provides that Congress may raise and support armies, and under that provision the regular standing army exists. It likewise provides that organized militia may be maintained In the different states; that the national government may provide arms for this force, may decide upon the nature and character of Its organisation, and may prescribe the discipline to which it must conform. It reserves to the respective states the right to govern this force, to appoint the officers thereof and to train It. In time of peace this force is available to the 1 resident of the United states, under the Constitution, to aid in enforcing the laws of the union, to aid in suppressing insurrections and in repelling invasions. There is no constitutional provision which makes this fcrce otherwise available to the nation In time of war.

and therefore no law can be passed by Congress making It so available, in order 10 obtain whatever is possible to be obtained In this respect the act of Congress concerning the raising of volunteers provides that such organized regiments of the national guard as volunteer may be taken oyer into the service of the United Mates intact and not merely as individuals. It will be seen, therefore, that under the Constitution there is contemplated two kinds of military forces one a national force raised and maintained directly by the acts of the national Congress, and the other a force raised entirely by the states, to lie governed officered and trained bv them and to be available to the national authorities in certain specified instances. Need Half Million Men. If the determination arrived at by those whose knowledge, skill and experience makes their Judgment practically conclusive is accepted, we should have in this country a force of at least 1,00,000 men ready for Instant response to a caii In the event of war or the imminence of war. It is surely not necessary to state the manv reasons why this force may not be supplied hv a regular standing army of that number constantly under arms For reasons which have Just been pointed out It is equally impracticable to suggest that this force should consist solely of the national guard expanded to that number.

There is no legal way that the national guard can, in time of peace be governed, officered or trained by the national government and there Is no legal way. excepting by volunteering, that it can be made available to the nation In time of war to any greater extent than specified in the Constitution, which confessedly falls short of the necessary u3es to which an army may have io be put In the event of a war with a foreign nation. It becomes necessary, therefore, to devise some method of making available for the use of the Nation in time of war a national force in supplement of that part of the national force, to wit. the Regular Army, which is constantlr under arms; a part of the army, in other words, to he raised and maintained by Congress and governed in all respects in accordance with its directions. When the system is devised and made operative the Nation would militarily be in this situation: It would have, as the Constitution provides, an army raised and maintained by it, composed of a certain number constantly under arms, and a very much larger number definitely identified in personnel, provided with equipment and organisation, possessed of some training and subject to Instant call The states would have the organized militia, developed with federal assistance to the highest practicable point of efficiency, available for the purposes specified in the Constitution, and so circumstanced that In the event of a war with a foreign nation thev could by their own volition.

Immediately take their place with the other military force of the nation. Wo: king Plan Is Outlined. Having reached these conclusions, we approach the question of their practical application. Our military responsibilities include not only continental United States but also the Philippine Islands. Hawaii.

I'orto Rico and the Panama Canal. On the military side, as distinguished from the naval side, there is necessity for provision not only for mobile army troops that Is infantry cavalry and field aitlllery but for coast fortifications and troops to man them. At the present time appropriations are available for the maintenance of an army and all of the accessory employees thereof aggregating 5.023 "officers and 102.S5 enlisted men Of these 67,000 men are mobile army tr opfi. 200(? are coast defense troops and the balance are hospital corps, quartermaster men, and other employes of that character. Of this total number about are on service outside continental United States, leaving therein about 46 r.I"oUl arTny troops and about 13.000 coast defense troops.

Deductions must be made from these latter figures of sufficient troops to garrison the over-sea possessions, which will materially reduce each of the totals above mentioned. The organised militia in the various states has an enrollment of approximately 129.00 men and officers. pollcy a proposed provides lor the over -sea garrisons in ith the approved plan of 1913. rnitea In continental of approximately 8n -oi'u mobile army troops and Ifj.OW coast artillery troops, together with the necessary auxiliary TrooJ Me nffie.e.

Under this scheme there would always be in the country a large number of men who had been trained In the regular army and who. during the period mentioned, would be subject to the call of the nation to 1 placed in the regular army or to be held in reserve to supply wastage or to lie utilized In whatever way was thought bet.

It has Just been discovered that the company Is to build si third track between Greene Junction and Indian Creek, a distance of seven miles. The new track will provide much extra room for freight running, and will, besides, solve the problem of where to dispose of the slag which keeps coming in in abundance. Work on the new track will not be rushed, as there is no hurry for the extra track, and labor, too, is scarce in the Connellsvllle section.

Pennsy Wants 9,000 Freight Cart. The Pennsylvania Railroad system is in the market for 9,000 freight cars. Six thousand of these cars will be used on the lines Kast and 3,000 on the lines "West.

It seems the part of wisdom therefore not now to ask for money to acquire erect and equip new places when the existing ones can be used, and furthermore will be available in great degree for the training of the supplement of the standing army, which Is a part of the plan It is proposed to supplement the army that is constantly under anna by a force of 400,000 men raided in Increments Of 133.000 a year, obligated to devote a specified time to training for a period of three years, and then to be on furlough for a period of. three years without obligation excepting to return to the colors In the event of war or the imminence thereof.

To Increase National Guard.

It Is proposed not only to continue existing assistance rendesd by federal government, but to Increase In the references previously mride the national guard the relationship that body to the military system the country was stated. With the ex Ing co-operation of the federal govt ment and the earnest efforts of membership of the guard great pr ress has been made In the last dec and, in the Judgment of all those cerned, Still greater progress fa only possible, but assurred.

With respect to the natjr personnel 8 offered, of the gu either in into the co the action their state th jtllne of the p- rn framed th including the very important one of training the other military forces. It provides a supplement to that army into which the citizens of the country who realize the necessity of patriotic action on their part can go with a minimum sacrifice. It continues available for all its legal purposs the other force out-side of the national army, and provides for increasing co-operation therewith. It offers opportunity to the three great cla ssefl of the commun i I that are considered available for military purposes in so far as training and preparation in time of peace arc concerned, namely, those who will undertake regular service, being constantly under arms those who desire to prepare themselves, but cannot take such preparation in intensive periods and those who are so circumstanced that the intensive training best meets their conditions. Army Posts Will Serve.

Both with respect to the army that Is constantly under arms and the continental army. Its supplement, there is no request for sums of money to build or provide accommodations therefor. The policy seems to come as nearly as if possible to meeting the conditions which must be met in a country which does not provide for universal military service or for compulsory military service, and does offer an opportunity to solv the military problem along the line of the patriotic spirit and conduct of its citizenship. The of the policy are fully conscious of the possibility of formulating military policies much better In theory, but ater concentrated conside! at ion of existing legal and other conditions' they think it will be found that almost insuperable objections and dlftuuitles arise in carrying into practical operation suggestions that form the military standpoint might otherwise be very acceptable. This completes consideration in so far as the personnel of the proposed policy is concerned, and leaves for Consideration the questions of reserve material, coast defenses, and other subjects not properly part of a formulated policy with respect to prepared forces.
