ARMY OF 663,000 | GARRISON'S PLAN Proposes Organization of Con- tinental Force of 400,000 Men ‘Washington, Oct. 76.—Provision for a military force of 665,000 men and construction by 1920 of sixteen cap- < ital ships—ten dreadnoughts and six battle cruisers—are included in plans for national defense as approved by President Wilson and which had vir- tually reached completion today. This great military force would be . provided for by the creation of a continental army of 400,000 men, an "increase in the regular army to 140,- 000 men, and a militia strength of 125,000 men. The program for the navy provides for the construction during the first year of a five-year period of two dreadnoughts, two battle cruisers, twenty-five submarines, submarines, twelve destroyers, and provides an increase of 8,000 in per- sonnel and an increase of 260 in rhe naval academy student body. Total Cost $500,000. At the end of the five years it is proposed to add to the navy, in ad- dition to the sixteen capital ships, more than seventy submarines, fifty destroyers, ten scout crulsers and the necessary auxiliaries. The total cost would be $500,000,000. The defense plans call for a total expenditure on the army and navy mext year of approximately $400,000,- 000. The army’s annual appropria- | tion would be increased by $75,000,- | 000 to provide for augmenting the regular army and the creation of a continental army. The details of the Garrison program which President Wilson is going to try to push through Congress in the =~face of determined opposition became known definitely last night. Cardinal Feature of Program. The creation of a new military force to be composed of young men of approximately college age is the cardinal feature of the new program. This new force, now designated as the “Continentals,”” will be made up & young men serving an elistment term of six years, during the first three years of which they are to spend two months out of every twelve in field service. The last three years they are to be ‘“on furlough” engag- ing In no active service. Through the entire six years they are to be sub- five seagoing | The recent Zeppelin raid on London, in which fifty-five persons were killed and 114 injured, exceeded in the num- ber of casualties any previous attack on the British capital. The casualties in the raid brought the total for all air raids on England up to 625, of which number 171 persons were killed and 454 injured. The picture printed herewith shows the construction, in section, of one sort of bomb dropped ject to a call to the colors in case of war. . Mr. Garrison regards this plan as the fundamental of his new policy. He believes it will give the United States assurance that several hundred thousand men who have had some military instruction will be available for service with the Federal troops the instant they may be called into service, < He regards it as the beginning of e ——— CHILD GETS SICK CROSS, FEVERISH IF CONSTIPATED Look at tongue!

After the conference of Secretary Daniels, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt and the general journed at midnight, it became known that that following naval construction program for the first of the five years board, which ad- had been decided upon: Two dread- noughts, two battle cruisers, twenty- five coast submarines, five sea-going submarines, twelve destroyers, an increase of 8,000 in personnel and an augmentation by 250 of the naval academy student body. * Secretary Garrison has carefully guarded his plan for strengthening the military establishment afd organ- izing a great continental army for defese, and almost nothing was known of it until last night. The program proposes: First—Regular army, 140,000 men, an increase of more than 50,000 men in the present establishment. Six-Year Enlistment. Second—A continental army, 400,- 000 strong, enlisted for six years for service within the continental United States. These men would serve two months a year for the first three years with the colors, undergoing a period of intensive training. The remaining three years they would be on furlough subject to call in time of need. It is estimated that 40,000 of the 540,000 men thus provided for would be noncombatants of the medical corps, or other auxiliary forces not included in the fighting line. Behind this army would be the Na- tional Guard, now some 125,000 strong, but whose numbers might be substantially augmented by the or- ganization of the continental army. The plans contemplate the transfer of such National Guard officers and men as desire it into the continental army, and more liberal treatment of the guardmen will be urged and the increase of these state forces en- couraged in every possible way. Increases in the regular establish- ment contemplated are: Infantry, ten ———————————— PAIN GONE !

[ cated. regiments. ments. panies. panies. ments. Organized At Peace Strength. All of these new commands would be organized at peace strength. Ade- quate supplies of small arms and field guns and howitzers and of reserve | ammunition for the enlarged estab- lishment would be sought. The plan is erected on the thedry that the nation must depend upon a citizen army, largely of a volunteer character, in time of war. There are hundreds of thousands of young men, it 1s said, who have both the time and inclination to devote at least two months a year to rigid and intensive military training, and the continental army would be composed of these, leaving to the National Guard those citizens whose responsibilities pre- vent their devoting more than one night a week or so to military train- ing. With six months actual field train- ing, army officers are confident that the continental army would be as thoroughly organized as is possible with any system short of compulsory service and a regular establishment of half a million men. Officers from tne new army would be obtained from civil life almost en- tirely, as the West Point Military Academy would be overtaxed even to supply officers for the increased reg- ular army. Even at present, not more than half of the officers of the army are West Point graduates, and an ex- tension of the work at West Point would be required to care for the new regiments to be created. Officers for Continental Army. For the continental army, the plan contemplates drawing from the Na- tional Guard and from educational institutions where military training is compulsory at least 1,000 officers a year for each of the first two years. Eventually, it is hoped that all mili- tary schools in the country can be standardized as to their courses in engineering and other military sci- ences. These courses would *hecome a specialty, it is believed if a given number of ranking gradautes each year were assured of commissions in the continental army. The new army would be organized in convenient geographical divisions and on the theory that its members could be citizens of the districts in which their organizations were lo- Field artillery, four regi- Coast artillery, fifty-two com- Engineer Corps, fifteen com- Aviation corps, two detach- MISKEVITZ TO BLAME, New Haven, Oct. 16.—Reckless driving by Antonio Miskevitz who was killed on the Milford Turnpike Tuvesday night, was the cause of the n.otorcyele collision in which Alex Schuck was fatally hurt, and Hjalmar Pederson probably so. Miskevitz had no light on his machine and was running at excessive speed when he hit Pederson’s motorcycle, which was properly lighted and was running at moderate speed on the extreme right band side of the road. Schuck, on whose body the inquest was held, was riding with Miskevitz. At the hospi- tal no hope is held out for Pederson. Just The Other Day a new Glenwood range was sh(iipped to K.
