HOUSE IGNORES WAR COLLEGE
Special Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, P. C, March 1.-Thc
Chamberlain army bill, or rather t!ie j
scnste military affairs army bill is looked ,
upon by army officials hereabouts as the
most constructive measure for the army
that has been presented In quarter of
a century.
The assertion of a portion of the daily
press that the senate bill In Its present
form creates a large army will provoke
a smile amorist the military authorities
of the larger powers. For Instance, what
III Japan think of the program of the
senate committee which gives this coun
try nt the end of five years seven divi
sions, with a total strength of about
!- .
span, according to the latest reports,
4 now an active or regular army of
rnty-five divisions, with a strength of
about 850,000. This Is composed of 10."
regiments of Infantry at war strength,
-omparad with twenty-five regiments
at peace strength, as provided In the
senate bill at the end of five years. Japan
has thirty-three regiments of cavalry, as
compared with twenty-five In the senate
bill. li batteries of field artillery, as
compared with 126, and a correspondingly
greater strength of other auxiliary troops
in its active or regular army.
Two Million Reserre.
But this Is the smallest part of Japan's
war strength. Back of its regular or ac
tive army It has a reserve of about 2,000,
M men with regular army training of
not less than two years. Congress and
the senate committee is discussing plans
for about 760,000 national guardsmen and
volunteers, with a few months- training.
Hn shaping her diplomatic policy Japan
will not take into consideration what this
country ininKs H naa in me way oi an
army, but really what It has. Japan will
compare Its forces with the trained
troop of the United Btaty In making
demands upon this country,
;The same process of reasoning will be
employed by other countries in shaping
f v demands they may decide to make
mi the Cnited States at the close of
tile European war.
Simply n Step.
Ttfs is not said In criticism of the gen
Wfl character of the .senate bill. The
"fcnate bill la the first sincere effort that
Jk congress has made to give the country a
r well balanced army. It daces our mill-

not give It a large regular army or pro
vide means for creating an adequate
force of trained soldiers. It is simply
a step in the right direction.
. The senate bill goes the limit In an ef
fort to secure trained cltlien soldiers by
the volunteer system. It authorizes the
president to maintain volunteer organl
'. zations with terms of enlistment which
will suit any class of people or any local
j condition of the country. If the people
. do not respond voluntarily to the call
under the Chamberlain bill, it will Jbe
soldiers cannot be obtained unless this
sountry' adopts the Bwlss, Australian, or
i soma1 other compulsory military training
rvstem.. .( '.
As far at the regular army or first
line troops go, the house bill Is a con
tinuation of the old piece-meal system of
legislation which has been the weakness
of the country's military policy. No at
tempt ia made to accept the recommen
dations of the war college and the un
military organization that is provided for
In the bill la even more objectionable than
the small Increase for which it calls.
