THE NEW ARMY BILL A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ALSO AN EXPERIMENT
nv w n c i
(BY H. D. S.)
IF THE new army bill goes through at agreed upon
by the conferee of the two houses it will accom-
plish for the regular army about all that the more
practical advocates of reasonable preparedness have
urged for present adoption. There have been many
critics and students both in and oat of the army
who have set 250000 or more as the necessary peace
strength of the army. But this has seemed to be
politically speaking impossible; and basing judgment
on the estimates of well posted army men as to the
sire of garrisons needed in our outlying possessions
and on the number of staff troops noncombatants and
roast defence forces not included in the "mobile army"
il has been generally held that 175000 represented a
minimum total peace strength (more than double the
present army) while 200000 would allow fair pro-
vision for emergencies and 225000 would meet all
present needs of the regular standing army. The
compromise bill it appears provides for 211000 men
of all classes which will allow a "mobile army" in
continental United States of a little better than 100000
as compared with 30000 now.
The ratio of the new regular army to total popula-
tion as The Herald has frequently shown will still
be considerably less than any city police force in
proportion. Any talk of "militarism" through such
a modest addition to the national police is simply
silly and not worth noticing or discussing.
The proposal to bnng the national guard up to
437000 men is apparently the nearest approach to a
real reberve array that can be hoped for at this time.
It is extremely doubtful if so many can be enlisted
and maintained in the national guard four times the
present strength. Bot the plan may be worth trying
since there is no present chance of bringing about the
adoption of the principle of universal military training
The bill makes an important departure in national
policy by providing for training volunteer officers
m time of peace and forming a reserve corps of volun
teer officers. This is a step in the right direction
and will help to relieve the regular army in an emer-
gency of much of the burden of whipping a volunteer
force into shape. The army plan should be such that
in an emergency with war already begun or imminent
the regular army could be kept intact as a powerful
though small working unit and not broken all to bits
by the necessity 4f creating a new army in the face
of the enemy.
Any plan that would involve detaching regular offi-
cers in time of war or threatened war or introducing
a lot of raw recruits into the units of the regular
army would be sure to bring disaster. Any experienced
regular officer would rather go into a fight with 50
trained and experienced and hardened soldiers than
with 50 soldiers and 50 half baked recruits. If any
plan be adopted that means (in the face of war) either
detaching officers of the regular army or filling the
regular army with raw men the result is to weaken
the army and ruin its efficiency as a first line fighting
unit .
The "peace strength" Skeletons of army units will
themselves be a source of weakness as heretofore un-
less ample means be used to keep in training behind
the lines a reserve at all times ready to step into the
ranks of the skeleton regular army units in an emer-
gency and fill them at once with trained and ex-
perienced soldiers.
Among the good features of the new armyViill is
the provision for permanent organization in standard
units from company or troop to brigades divisions and
perhaps army corps. The principle is recognized that
organization units should be kept together so far as
possible and their field officers given ample oppor-
tunity to command and maneuver in large bodies. How
far this principle will be allowed to control in future
depends on how much peanut politics is played with
the army. .
Another good feature is the more formal recognition
of the principle of enlisting the national guard in pro
portion to population m each congressional district
encouraging the backward states and districts to. con-
tribute their full quota at all times as a patriotic duty.
Citizens should not lose sight of the fact that the
increase in the army and in the national guard will
at best be a very slow affair. The expectation of
the most sanguine is that in five years we may have
an army. The new program calls for a gradual ex-
pansion over five years. It is not at all certain that
the plans will prove practical; it is not at all certain
that enlistments in either the regular army or tho
national guard will come up to paper projects.
And with a real war on our hands at any time
we should still be under the necessity of recruiting out-
fitting and training a complete new army from un-
trained material. The United States can never be
really "prepared" or really safe or really efficient in
conserving and safeguarding its own interests until it
recognizes the principle of universal military training
in time of peace and universal service to the nation
in time of war. Only under that system could wr
really gain the advantages of our great population
wealth industries and resources through scientific and
universal mobilization of our whole defensive equip-
ment in the time of supreme emergency. And if the
world knew we were ready in the sense suggested
that knowledge itself would be the surest guaranty
that our peace would not be disturbed so long as we
minded our own business and respected the rights of
others.
But at any rate after 20 years of patriotic effort
and adverse political machining and annoying pacifist
agitation and in the ranks of the little army faithful
service and unremitting zeal under most unfavorable
conditions at last the political leaders have been
brought to concede the primary principle that we need
an army proportioned in some moderate degree to our
responsibilities our duties our expanding population
and possessions and our fundamental obligation to
keep peace with honor.
Flying With The Mails. Short Snatches From Everywhere
That the airplane is to enter the fields ofI.evr
day use and service is not doubted by the United
States postoffice which has asked for bids for airplane
mail service for eight especially difficul postal routes
one in Massachusetts to islands off he coast and
seven over mountains in Alaska the mails to be carried
averaging from 500 to 3000 pounds
The New England route is difficult on account of
rough winds and fogs the Alaskan routes on account
of the high altitudes and extreme cold and there may
be no satisfactory contracts possible this ysar; tut the
fact that the postoffice asks for the bids anfi supposes
the airplane mail over these difficult routes practical
and the fact that airplane makers and fliers are con-
sidering bids show how soon we may expect to fly
ourselves.
The -ity ought by all means to acquire at once the

and all the fractions needed to round up a magnificent

all the mesa rim in that neighborhood. There is the
logical site for the permanent central playgrounds out-
