MYSTIC Later Closing Hours for Two Depart- ments of Postoffice—Birthday Party for Miss Sarah Smith, Another improvement in the service at the Mystic postoffice has been insti- tuted by Postmaster George H. Foley whereby the money order department and postal savings department will close daily at 7.30 p. m. instead of 6.30 p. m., as formerly.

Conclusions drawn from the figures to support the contention that the guard system is inefficient and un- reliable, were promptly questioned and it was indicated that the head of the army would face searching question- ing ‘tomorrow when he continues his statement. To Recall General Scott. The senate sub-committee In charge of the Chamberlain universal training bill decided to recall General Scott, who already has presented the report on® mobilization in full to that com- mittee, and Major General Leonard Wood, commanding the eastern de- partment, who described the mobiliza- tion as a “tragedy” in his direct hear- ing before the commiftee. Both ofil- cers have been asked to appear for cross examination by Blair Lee, a champlon of the national guard. An effort yesterday by the Maryland sena- tor, who is not a member of the com- mittee, to question Colonel W. C. Brown, one of the officers who com- piled the report, resulted in a clash with Chairman Chamberlain. The lat- ter determined today, however, to give Senator Lee every opportunity — to bring out the facts as to the mobili- zation. Staff Officers Will be Present. In preparation for the cross exami- oation it is understood that staff offi- cers familiar with mobilization will be present and pgepared to submit the original reports from the inspector, including names of the organizations The Japanese ladies in the picture are members of the first batch of nurs- es of their nationality sent to the Bu- Topean war front. They were photo- graphed on their retumn to Tokyo, and )y met with an enthusiastic o T, T e cxamined. The compiled summary of these reports avoid mention of any specific units of the guard. Outline for Universal Training. The house committee did not go into the question of universal military scr- vice recommended by the general staff and Generals Scott and Wood. The chief of staff had not reached that portion of pis statement at the close of the -&-. session. Before the Chamberlai¥! ~ committee, however, Howard H. Gross of Chicago, presi- dent, and Edward Harding of New York city, representing the Universal Military Training League, outlined their views. They will be followed tomorrow by members of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States and later by certain officers and en- listed men of the national guard, all of whom are expected to wuppert the recommendations of the general stafl for a compulsory service system. Senator Underwood of Alabama, in- jected the universal service discussion into a debate in the senate during the day, asserting that he did not favor compulsory military service in time of peace. Advocates Large Standing Army “I do believe,” he added, “that we should have a sufficient standing army to prevent any nation from landing troops on our shores, able to act as a second line of reserve to a great navy and defend the country until we could reserve a volunteer urmy.” ‘When General Scott before the house committce quoted from the mobiliza- tion showing that out of an enrollcd strength of 95,000 men in certain units of the guard called for border duty, only 47,000 actually were available for cee federal _service, Representative Anthony of Kansas asked whether it was fafr to judge the national guard system on a mobilization of what was in reality the old organized militia. tion in the Japanese capital. Their war medals attracted especial and admiring attention. There are many Japanese nurses left in active Red Cross service. no other country in the worl Representatives Hull and Greene join- ed in this view. “Is it not a fact,” insisted Repre- sentative Greene, “that neither the national guard nor the regular army as contemplated by the national de- terse act of 1916, was in existence when the border call came?” General Scott admitted this was true, as the act did not ga into effect until after the call was made. He reiterated his opinion that completion of the mew organization would Pro- duce littie better rosults, Tilson Asks Question, Representative Tilson of Conneeti- cut, who commanded a guard regi- ment on the border, asked if the order that men with dependent families be discharged was ‘“not_enough to dis- organize any military organisation.” “That order was issued by the seo- retary of war, and I cannet discuss its morits,” General Scott said. He explained later that the secretary is- sued no orders of such a character without discussion with the chief of staff. When the general read figures on national guard recruiting ahowing that only 15,000 men were collected in four months active work ‘throughout _the country, and that at a cost of more than 350 a man, “just to enroll him, not to equip him,” Representative Greene interrupted. “Was not this aftor the young vol- unteer knew he was to Sce no active service, but merely to do border po- lice duty?” he asked. “It was to carry out orders by the president of the United States to meet emergency,” General Scott sald. “Oh, yes, that's the way it reds™ Representative Greene sald, “but that's not the way the men on the border looked at it, or the youns mem who came back home.” “We cannot rely for cur defense on a system of a kind where that would be_possible,” said General Scott. “TLet me say also that I have spec- fally ask~d you to understand that I .am not discussing the men of the na- tional guzrd, but the system.” “Didn’t congress show that it resl- ized these very weakncsses of the old system™ demanded Representative Hull, “when it reframed it In the na- tional defence act?" 0 military man thinks there wil be any great improvement under th% new system,” General Scott replied.
