Col. S. C. Jones of the New York Military Institute said 3,000 boys wers graduated from the schools last vear, all of whom had been trained along lines laid down at West Point and were fitted to become second lieuten- ants of volunteers. He asked that the government issue modern rifle and equipment to replace obsolete wen- pons now loaned and also tents and equippage for field training. Asked if he did not think the schools tended, perhaps, to create a spirit of militarism, Col. Jones said: “I think We can honestly claim to | cure more military aspirations than we foster. The young American does not like discipline, and we have to ' sugarcoat it to draw him under a strictly military system USE OF RAILROADS IN MOBILIZING ARMY Secretary Garrison Drawing Up Com- prehensive Plans in Cooperation With Railway Officials, Washington, Jan. 11.—Comprehen- sive plans for use of the railroads in mobilizing the army are being drawn up by Secretary Garrison in coopera tion with a committec of railroad off cials, headed by Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern Railway. | Secretary Garrison announced today | that the committee has been author- ized by all the railroads to give him full information as to equipment and other data to supplement that al- ready in possession of the army war college. The work is in line with President Wilson's suggestion that full informa- tion is necessary for the mobilization of the nation’s resources.
