The first thirteen sections of the new bill relate to the regular army and provide that it shall at all times be sustained as nearly as possi- ble at the maximum strength fixed by law. Section 14 authorizes the president to raise, organize, train and maintain a citizen army of not to exceed 400,- 000men, to be known as the *“Cont- 000 men to be known as the “Conti- annual contingents, and thereafter maintained by annual contingents suf- ficient to keep the number up to the authorized strength of 400,000 men. For this purpose the president is au- thorized to divide the United States into such number of divisional dis- tricts as he may prescribe. The Con- v tinental Army shall consist of such number of regiments of Infantry, Cavalry, and Field Artillery, and of such Engineers and auxiliary troops, as the president may deem proper, within the limits of the force author- Ized in the bill. but the president may vary the proportions of the several arms, corps, and departments as he may deem necessary for the purpose of training.

It is provided that at any time within three years from and after the date of the going into effect of this law any unit of the organized _rnilma of any state which shall pre- sent itself with three-fourths of its minimum enlisted strength, and the consent of the proper state authori- ties, for entry into the Continental £rmy, may be enlisted and the officers of such companies, troops, batteries, Yhattalions, squadrons, regiments or higher units, including the field and staff and general officers, may be ap- pointed officers in the Continental army, and such officers and enlisted men 'so. received into the Continental sPmy shall stand discharged from the or"ganlzed militia of which they were members. In Case of War. In tHe event of war all enlistments avhich would otherwise expire within one year shall continue in force for the period of one year from the be- ginning of the war, unless sooner ter- minated by the president. ¥ The bill provides that all men en- listed under its provision shall be ta- ken from among citizens of the Unit- ed States, who shall be at the time of their first enlistment,. between the ages of eighteen and thiry-five years. Section 19 provides that in the e#ent of war only shall the President be authorized by congress to call out the Continental ‘Army Reserves for the purposes of war. The officers of the Continental Army shall be ap- | pointed, first from officers of the regular army on the active list, to serve in the continental army not to exceed four years; second, from mem- bers of officers reserve corps, to be hereinafter provided for; third, from officers of the organized militia and retired officers of the regular army; and subject to such examinations that the president mayv vrescribe from graduates or undergraduates of edu- cBtional institutions having military courses, and other citizens who have qualified themselves by experience and study. The president alone is authorized to appoint all the officers of the contiriental army below the srade of lieutenant colonel. All of- _ficfrs of the grade of lieutenant Tlonel and of higher grades in that army shall be appointed by the presi- dent, by and with the consent of the senate. Change of Residence. It is provided that when an officer of the continental army changes his residence so as to make service with the organization to which he is as- siged impracticable or inconvenient to the government, the president may, in lieu of transferring him to another organization of the continental army at or near the locality to which he had changed his residence, transfer him, if below the grade of lieuten- ant colonel to the officers’ reserve corps in the grade held by him in the continental army, or if above the grade of major, he may honorably dis- charge -him from the continental army . It is also provided that when an enlisted man so changes his resi- dence he shall be transferred to an ' organization of the continental army at or near the locality to which he has c¢hanged his residence, and his de- Seriptive list, with a statement of his accounts. shall be transmitted to the eommanding officer of that organiza- tion, under such regulations as the Secrgtary of War proscribe.

The aggre- te length of such training periods anyg soldier, other than regular Y rs and enlisted men as signed thereto, shall not exceed three months in any one calender year, nor an aggregate of six months in the first three years of the enlistment. In the instruction and training of such troops the president is authorized to use such parts of the regular army, the military stores, and other proper- ty as he may deem necessary for the purpose. It is provided that each member of the continental army shall be subjected to a physical examination at the be- ginning and end of each period of training.

Thirty Cadet Companies.

LABOR PARTY TO CONFER. ‘Will Debate British Cabinets Decision on Compulsory Service. London, Dec. 29.—A conference of representatives of the labor party is being arranged to consider the de- cision of the cabinet in regard to com- pulsory military service. The ques- tion is canvassed eagerly at trades union centers. Advocates and opponents of con- scription are equally emphatic. There are many members of the labor party who are ready to support the doctrine of compulsory service once they are satisfled it is necessary and are as- sured it will be applied impartially to all classes. Some are still insisting on a further opportunity for unmar- ried men to offer their services with- out compulsion, but it is believed the cabinet has decided against further delay.

Venizelos’ house all day. The apartments of M. Venizelos were banked with flowers, and thousands of telegraphic greetings were received from Greeks throughout Europe and | America.

Irving Jester, 24 Dwight street. 12-29+-1d GLAIM ROOSEVELT'S THEORY FALLACIOUS (Continued from First Page.) mobile manufacturers and ‘the like who during the past year or two have preached pacifism in its most ignoble form are willing to think out the sub- ject and are both sincere and fairly intelligent, they must necessarily con- demn a police force or a posse comi- tatus just as much as they condemn armiés, and they must regard the ac- tivities of the sheriff and the constable as being essentially militaristic and therefore to be abolished. When we have discovered a method by which right living may be spread so univer- sally in Chicago and New York that the two cities can with safety abolish their police forces, then and not until then about ‘The abolition of war.” Willing to Go to War. “The sociological society meets in ‘Washington this year,”” continued the paper, ‘‘only because the man after whom the city was named was willing to 8o to war. If he and his associates had not gone to war there would have been no possibility of ‘social values’ in the Uniteq States for the excellent reason that there would have been no United States. If Lin- coln had not been willing to go to war, to appeal to the sword, to intro- duce militarism on a tremendous scale throughout the United States, the sociologists who will listen to thi: paper, if they existed at all, would not be considering the social values of slavery and such governmental and industrial problems as can now be studied in the central American republics. “At present in this world and for the immediate future,” wrote Mr. Roosevelt in conclusion, “it is certain | that the only way successfully to orpose the might which is the servant of wrong is by means of the might which is the servant of right.” KASHAN OCCUPIED BY RUSSIAN TROOPS (Continued from First Page.)

SHEVLIN (Continued from First Page.) come as a great shock to Yale men for he was widely known to a large circle of graduates and greatly be- loved by all who knew him. His loss will be felt especially by football men. ‘The football management owes him a large debt of gratitude for the sacri- fices which he made repeatedly to help our teams out of trouble. He always seemed ready to cancel the most imperative business engagement whenever or wherever the call for help reached him. He will be missed as friend, adviser and coach. During the present season when he gave his time and effort so freely to the building up of the 1915 team he gained the confidence and friendship of the whole squad.” Three Other Noted Athletes.
