BAKER RECOMMENDS UNIVERSAL TRAININC Calls for 21 Divisions and Auxiliarie With Strength of 510,000 Men. YTT 1. __a A _ __ A TTT ^i. wasning^on, au^. ? war uepan ment recommendations for a systen ofuniversal trining for three month: for all eligible youths in their nine teenth year, was presented by Seere tary Baker today to the senate an< house military committees for thei: guidance in determining the perman ent military policy of the nation. The proposal is obtained in a bil prepared by the general staff of the v army at the secretary's direction. Ii transmitting the bill, Secretary Ba ker, in a letter, said that Genera Pershing had not been consulted an< ? nro o fonf of ittq yian v*ao ^uvi?v. , - Provisions of the Bill. 'The department's bill calls for i regular army of twenty-one division and necessary auxiliary services, .witl a peace strength of 510,000 enliste< men, and a war strength of 1,250, 000. The reserve to fill up the divis ions to full strength would be pro vided through a modified form of the selective service act under which the national army was raised for the wai with Germany. For training purposes, only youths in their nineteenth year would be called to the colors foj a threemonth period, to be attachec to regular divisions for that time. 11 is estimated that this would provide an annual claim of 609,000 men to b* given intensive military instruction stripped of all vocational or other educational features. For two years after the training the youths would be required to submit certain reports giving their addresses, changes in status as to dependents, physical condition, etc They would receive $1 for each reI port called for and submitted, thus encouraging the making of reports In the event of war, all men in this status would be called to fill up regular divisions and compose the firsl replacement units. For Reorganization. The bill provides for reorganize tion of the regular army in substantially the same terms as previously recommended by Secretary Bakei when the current army bill was undei consideration. No mention of the National Guarc is made in the bill, but in his lettei fco the committee, Secretary Bakei said he assumed that the national defense act would be continued in force making the' guard the subject to federalization for war. One of the features of the universa training plan of the department is complete federalization of the regis tration and induction machinery ? i j 1 i V, ' ljocai ana appeal uu<uus wumu created as during the war, excepl that compensation at $10 a day is * provided for board officials but n< mention is made of employing State officials or agencies in carrying ou1 the project. Expenses and Allowances Youths in training would receiv< * no pay, but would receive paymenl for alfe expenses and an allowance oi *5 a month for incidentals. No ex emptions would be granted except t< soldiete, sailors, members of the mer chant marine, public or private, or tc those mentally or physically deficient To meet the case of those with de pendents, however, provision is made for deferring the training period. Theory on which the bill rests ii that an army of 1,250,000 should b( available for rapid mobilization a1 need. It provides that the complete organization of a field army of thai size shall be maintained, the onlj difference between peace and wai time footing being in the enlistee strength. The twenty infantry and one cav airy divisions would comprise th< field army. To support the plan, general staf: officers have prepared full detailec studies of cost, systems of mobiliza r tion, administration and all other fea L tures which the department is pre V pared to submit whenever the con gressional committees call for ihem.

But in all sincerity, let u: relate facts that came under our ob 1 servation over half a century ago : and speak of those who were our co 5 workers in the ante bellum times. Mr. Hugh Wilson, who started ou ' on life's journey, was a poor boy. H< had no means of his own; but his un tiring energy and activity, and tha indomitable will power, soon placet ' him in the front rank of journalism .
