A Big Mistake Corrected
y.
!S" A few days ago Mr. and Mrs. H.
A. Miller received a notice on regu
it- lar department form to the effect thai j
to their son, George Miller, .was a de- j
th serter from the U. S. Navy station at!
Hampton Roads, Va. Naturally Mr.'
te and Mrs. Miller felt a deep regret j
over, such action on the part of their j
son, and as they knew nothing of the j
boy's whereabouts they could take no j
action in the matter. A few days j
later it developed that George had ;
!S" been to the target range for rifle j
'N practice and by some clerical error
at the station had been lost track of.;
en The matter has since been straight- (
op ened out and Mr. Miller received the
|e. following letter Saturday from the
commanding officers of the station: '
"U. S. Naval Training Station, j
tn Hampton Road. Va., October 31, j
1919.?-Mr. H. A. Miller, Kingstree,
S C. In reply to your letter of the j
29th inst. you are hereby informed j
ed that the notice of desertion sent you
to I was sent through error. It is very ;
no ! much regretted that the error was |
so made. Kespectiuuy, w. r.. koss, ioi ,
IW. M. Corse, Captain U. S. Navy, j
en Commanding."
n. About the same time the above
0f was received Mr. Miller also received
pd a letter from his son stating that he!
! was on the target range where he 1
i had made proficiency in marksman- j
en j ship, sharpshooting and passed as ex-1
IS~ i pert rifleman.

PERSHING WANTS
SMALLER ARMY.
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
SUGGESTED AS MAXIMUM
OF ENLISTMENT
Dissenting in many important respects
from the program recommended
by the war department and the
general staff, General Pershing told
the military committee of congress
Friday that 300,000 men raised entirely
by voluntary enlistment should
be the outside figure considered for a
standing army. He favored universal
military training to provide an emergency
reserve, bu? thought general I
educational work should be combined I
with it and military discipline "some- I
what relaxed" so that the system I
would be in complete harmony with I
democratic institutions.. He fixed six I
months as the training period. 5
The department had recommended
an army of more than 500,000 with a
system of universal training not em- ioi
bracing the educational feature. Its se
recommendation for a training period
was three months. . wl
Departing again from the expressed tei
views of the department the general co
declared army purchasing should be br
reorganized in a new bureau apart an
from the quartermaster corps, and a
separate department of the government
should be organized to coordi- se
nate and supervise miiitary, naval no
and commercial aeronautics. He con- inl
sidered the department's request for sit
231 general staff officers excessive,
and made clear his opposition to any re
effort by the staff to extend its authority
into the details of the depart- co
ment bureau and of the line. ce
During his day of testimony before ye
the two committees which opened a V
series of special joint sessions to hear se
his views on peace time reorganiza- wi
tion of the army the former com- Ei
mander of the American expedition- \vl
ary forces expressed several times so
his unfamiliarity with the 4 present Ai
make up and policy of the general ed
staff and emphasized that he was H<
speaking directly from his experience gu
in the field. But he did not hesitate to ar
put into pointdH language his opin'
