March Chief of Staff Raps Congress For Failure to" Include Uni versal Training in Army ' Reorganization Law. By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chicago Trlbun-Omli Be LeaMd Wire. Washington, Nov.1 21. Failure of congress to provide in' the army re organization law for universal mil itary training deprives the nation of the trained soldier reserve es sential to the defence of the country, Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff, asserts in his annual report, made public todajv 'It may be stated without quali fication," savs the general, "that an adequate reserve of trained soldiers, available for use in an emergency, is the essential prerequisite to any effective plan for national defense, and that tha creation and mainte nance of such reserve without uni versal training are impossible. The act of June 4, 1920, however, has afforded a definite basis for proceed ing1 with the reorganization of ihe army. The general staff is now engaged in the preparation of the necessary plans in this connection, and this work is' well under way. The 4,000,000 men and 200,000 of ficers trained during the late war "may be relied upon to meet the requirements of any possible con tingency that may arise within the next five years," in the opinion of the chief of staff, but that fact does not excuse5 failure to adopt a rational permanent military policy. Here are General March's views on. a policy of adequate land defense: U. S. Self-Sustaining. , "The war has shown that ' this country can, in an emergency, be self-sustaining in all respects for an indefinite period. This is probably true of no other power; certainly it is true of no insular power. This fact bears upon our policy of na tional defense. It follows that under any possible naval situation", even with our navy and our fleets denied access to the seas by any conceiv able combination of the other great navies of the world, this country could not be defeated and forced to capitulate by nayaoperations alone. "This involving as it does, our un limited resources of man-power and wealth, constitutes our greatest military asset, provided, and only provided, we are prepared to pre vent the landing on our shores of any enemy the size oij which our per formance has demonstrated to the world can be landed by a first-class power and certain conditions. These conditions are that it shall have con trol of the sea and control of proper bases for debarkation. Without the possession of such bases in France, we could not have landed our army, irrespective of the fact that the allies had control of the, sea. ' ' "It is accordingly, one of the very important lessons of this war that fmilitary policy demand that there should be at all, times, available lor immediate use, a sufficient trained and organized force to insure, in connection with our fixed coast de fense, that no probable or possible enemy can evef seize a great strategic base 6n our 'coast. , "''Obviously such an attacking force', irrespective of Its power, on the sea as represented by 'the strength of its navy, and of its power OH the land, as represented by the . . i r , , .... I strengin oi us army,win De at its weakest during the period it is at tempting to land" its army on our shores. - ' "During this period Wly. will it be possible to nullify any -numerical superiority of troops- that they may brmg to bear by the resistance of the trained and organized force of rela tively small size. Only by the provi sion of such a force can we be as- PSured that we shall be able to utilize the full - advantage oi our greatest military asset,' by gaining the time reauired to develop our resources and to organize an army which will be adequate to any contingency. - Ihe minimum force which, in my opinion, is adequat for this pur? pose, is one of tield army of tive corps, skeletonized to about 50 per cent of its strength in such a way as to include a nucleus for all or ganizations which require extended training and instruction in time of peace, and as to be capable of ready expansion in time of peace, and as to be capable of ready expansion in time of war to full strength without seriously impairing its efficiency for serve. , 1 No One Entitled to Federal Reward for Capture .of Robbers Uncle Sam offers a reward of from $500 to $1,000 for the arresr and conviction cjj any person for robbing the United States mails. Up to the present time no one 13 in line for this reward in connec tion with the $3,500,000 mail robbery in Council Bluffs, according to post office inspectors. , j ' ' With six persons in custody, and crbal confessions from three of them and more than half the unde btroyed loot recovered( Uncle Sam will probably not be required to pay his reward because no one has conii definitely forward in the work other thanfederal agents. v "Postoffice men and federal agenti are not in iineor this reward," said W. M. Coble,-postoffice iuspector from Omaha. . , . "These men, who have labored on this case unceasingly , and Without rest, have worked for no reward. They merely have been doing their duty." ' -.

When the other-fellow got into a tight place and couldn't pay you what he owed, you probably called on your banker and asked for an extension of credit. If you got it, you were required to answer certain ques tions, one of which was: u'How nnlch life insurance do you carry?" If your reply was not satisfactory y you no doubt had to agree to increase your life insur ance protection as one of , the conditions of extended credit. ' ' , ' Many cases like this arise every day.
