GEN. PERSHING
WOULD OUT OUT
"DEATSMBER"
Urges Selective Promotion in
Army, and Volunteer Force
'' in-Testimony Before
Committee.
Washington, Nov.' !. A volunteer
force of officers., and men who
served i:i tjie great; war so organ
ized as to preserve wartime desig
nations of units was proposed to the
military committees of congress to
aY, by General PFrshing as the
basis for a permanent reserve to be
maintained in future by universal
service. V 1 ,
.Until universal training got under
way, he told the committee, divis
ions and smaller "units now dis
banded could be brought back into
existence on paper, with " enough
volunteers from their former per
sonnel to make up the skeleton of
a continuing reserve system.
Would' Drill Reserves.
Later, he continued, , men emerg
ing from universal training camps
cculd be assigned to these reserve
units in their home localities. He
suggested that the men', thus as
signed ' be asscnibted . for drill or
maneuvers "once or twice during
the period they are held for possible
service," after ' training, though
they could not be , actually called
into active service except in time
of wan
The general said the problem of
fitting in this plan with any con
tinuance of the national guard as
such,' was a difficult one. He sug
gested that the governors' of( states
might be given authority to call the
reserves into service in local emer-i
gencies,- but preferred that ' their
training and organizations.be dis
tinctly federal.' .
Favprs Promotion by Selection. '
General Pershing' also declared
IJiS prerercne '. for army promotion
Hy selection rather than seniority,
and recommended a single list for
promotion. In that way, he said,
much dead" timber 'cjjuld be ; elim
inated and existing inequalities be
tweeiVNStaff and line removed'.. . The
present promotion system he char
acterized as absurd." - -
The,. witness virtually completed
his statement before the joint ses-
siorts of the committees today, but
he asked time to consider some of
the questions submitted by mem-'
bers and probably will appear algain
next week. , -
