Begin Training at Once. Under the caption "Training of Vol unteers" the war college pamphlet reads : "The training of volunteer troops must begin without delay after their induction into the service. No time must be lost. It should begin at the company rendezvous, without waiting for complete mobilization, Under our traditional policy of relying princi pally for defense upon citizen sol diers. the larger part of our land forces will not be fully trained on the outbreak ot war. Il is more than proh;:hlc thai we shall have to employ some of them with little or no train i 1 1 :r as s.ion .1^ t bey can be ;i<<--uibled "The amount and character <?: the training will at Hrst be direeily pro portional to the time cons(ii!i.il. pro. vided ;i rational s, heme be followed, llow iiiiii'h time will be available it is impossible to predict. It is reason able to assume, however, that in the event of a war w it'll an oversea ? m iuy it will I >e the time required for our enemy to establish at least a partial control of the sea suHieieiit to open the way for landing of expeditionary forces. "Any system of training, however, good in itself, will fail to bring the de sired results unless there are avail able a sulliflh nt number of trained in structors. otlieers and noncommis sioned ollieers. The blind cannot b ad the blind." Referring to the mobilization "t the volunteer armies, ihe war eollege points uiit thai all point-; of mobiliza tion have been selected, one in ea<h state of i be Union, and that the>e pre liminary arrangements have been ap I'I'on e? | l>y both the federal and vtat^ authorities.
