Army Reserves
Are Necessary,
Says Gen. 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." ' -.

'By The Associated l'rese.
Geneva, Nov. 21. Although the
United States is not represented by a
delegate h the assembly of the
league of nations, there is hardly
a session in which the United States
is not rcferreU " to. The United
States had a volunteer spokesman
on the speakers' stand in N. W.
Rowell of Canada, who warned the
assembly against any policy involv
ing interference in the internal af
fairs of any country."
Lanada, said Mr. Rowell, "will
never consent to any such interfer
ence," adding:
i ou cannot expect the ereat
country south of Canada to become
a party to the league if there is any
pretension that the league can in
terfere m its internal affairs.
Signor Tittoni of Italy, reolyinar.
regretted that the delegate took such
a radical position on a subject he
thought open to discussion. 1
iodays session concluded the first
stage of the assembly's work. The
agenda now is in the hands of the
committee, which is expected . to
report early on1 questions susceptible
ot, quick solution, no that the full
session can act on these while com
mittees continue their work. "
The armament committee began
its labors today in open session.
Christian Lanee of Norway, and Dr.
Wellington Koo of China, gave a
general sketch of the work. The
former suggested that the only;
measure that could be adopted to
gauge limitations of armaments was !

What
DidYouTell
The Banker ?
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. ' Whenever a
v borrower can lay before the banker a good-sized policy
in The Bankers Reserve Life Company it is always
recognized instantly as a factor of safety. With it the
borrower stands on firmer ground.

turing liquor. Thirty-eight have been
arrested on information relative to
sale or possession of liquor for
which indictments arc not necessary.
Federal Prohibition Director Han
ley stated vesterdav that the United
States district attorney's office would
join him in demanding jail sentences
rather than fines for those who enter
a plea of guilty Monday. ,
. "Fines are merely a license for
carrying on the liquor business, the
same as they used to pay in the day
of high . license," Hanley said
"But jail sentences place them in the
same category as criminals break
ing other lws and will do much
more to stop this business than
fiies."
It was expected by federal authori
ties that a great many of those ar
raigned in court Monday will plead
not guilty.
