An attack upon the defense act has been opened by the National Council for Reduction of “Armaments through its bulletin, in which an article appears charging that Prussian militarism I8 encouraged in land-grant colleges undet the defense act. The bulletin characterised the defenss Act of June 6, 1020, as thoroughly Prus- sian in design and tending to create a military nation. Reduction to one-half in the number of officers in the United States is urged by the bulletin to oftset the provision of the defense act, which aims to scatter officers broadcast throughout the nation, with the purpose of stimulating interest in military affairs among the young men of the country. In land-grant colleges military training is compulsory, but similar conditions exist in all colle, where military courses are given under the special staff of Army officers assign~ ed to this work.
