Oily Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, DEC. 31, 1915
Whlie there seer. a to he no luck u*
unanimity manifested by congress lx.
the matter of increasing the size o.
he ax my and navy, it is daily becom
mg more evident, judging from the
tone of the press reports, that ther..
going to be considerable diveig j
■ nee in the congress.onal view as to!
.lie proper method to be pursued ii
bringing about the contemplated in
crease in the army. Also there is every j
indication that thL. lack of agreemen
may prove the rock which will shat
ter the whole plan. The principal .
rouble seems to be that the cxngres
men differ widely In their opinions as
to Just w hat a large army should con
sist of and just how it should be built
up. It is thus almost certain that be
fore any large increase Is allowed! In
the army there will be a hard debate
■over the ways and means to be adopt
ed. Congressmen and senators, gen
erally. seem to be perfectly willing to
vote off hand for an inexease of almost
ny dimensions in the navy. In fact
there is apparently no obstacle to tha'
1 ranch of military service being doub
led or even trebled, but, when It comeB
to the army, but few who do not see
the matter of increase from widely dif
fering view' points.
Opinion also seems to be divided
largely over the matter of whether it
is best to build up a great army im
mediately or to start out with a mod
est increase In the strength of the
present military establishment and
then build up a great reserve force
through the establishment of a system
of military training in schools -nd col
leges whereby the youth of the land
can be converted Into a reserve army
by slow degrees.
From a perusal of a large number
of letters written on the subject by
congressmen from every section, which
aro printed In an exchange, it would ap
pear that nearly all are In favor of
having a reserve army and all are
more or less convinced of the effec
tiveness of the plan of Introducing
military training in educational lnstltu
tlon, but, beyond this point there Is a
wide divergence of ideas. Some want
n Increase In the national guard,
other advocate the training of a large
number of young men for officers
thus enabling the training and offl-1
'■ring of a largo body of volunteer
recruits, should an occasion arise for
calling such an army into being, while
still others advocate a shortening of
the present term of enlistment to one
year with the underlying Idea of not
increasing the size of the present army
in any great degree but at the same
time turning out a finished army of
trained men each year which will ulti
mately foiro a reserve force of manyi
millions.
Senator Madden of Chicago Is one of
the most ardent advocates of this plan,
I think there ought to be one year
enlistments in the army,” said he. In
answer to a query, "Tn ten years this
would make one million available
men, also I favor tTie admlss'on of
graduates from private military
schools as second lieutenants for one
year.”
Senator Poindexter of Washington
flavors an Immediate doubling of the
army and also tha creation of a re
serve army and a carefully developed
plan for rudimentary military training
of young men volunteering for that
service, of whom, the senator augge8ta,
that there will probably be several
millions. Senator Ransdell of Louis-;
Sana favors "two years military train
ing under tha United States of all
boys over the age of fifteen years.”
Johnson of California favors an In
creased state militia on a quarter pay
ia»ls Representative Hayes of Cali
fornia does not make any bones about
his view of the necessity for having a
big and efficient lighting force ready)
at any time to take the field and open
v advocates compulsory military j
'raining for all young men, after the
| manner of the Swiss system. And so
on. However, no two are In complete
ccord as to the best and most effi-;
’lent method to be pursued and with)
few exceptions there are none of
them who seem to accept the view
‘hat time Is an important eonsldera
'lon. Nearly all Incline to the side
of building up the army by slow de
grees with the present small force as
tie nucleus. With such a large variety
f ideas and with so little agreement
,t Is very possible that the whole
scheme may go a glimmering before
the solons get done arguing over what
is best. The largest hope that some
thing may come of their pow wowing
.ies in the fact that they are ail more
_>r less agreed that something should
je done but this seems about the only
hlng which might serve as a hook on
vhich to hang our expectations. How
ver, we may all be thankful that they
j ,re In complete accord as to the mat
' r-r of strengthening the navy for, af
; er all, that is the greatest factor In
' he protection of the nation. If we
cad a navy as great and strong as
I t-al nt Britain we would doubtless
j mv* hut little need for an army of
; .io*-e than nominal slsa.
