A Washington special says: War department recommendation for a system of universal military train ing of three months for all eligi ble youths in their 19th year was presented by Secretary Baker today to the senate and house military committee for their guidance in de termining the . permanent military policy of the nation. The proposal Is contained in a bill prepare by the general staff of the army at the secretary's di rection. In transmitting the bill. Secretary Baker, in a letter, said that General Pershing had not been consulted and the plan was tenta tive to that extent. The department's bill calls for a regular army of 21 divisions and ne cessary; auxiliary services, within a peace strength of 510,000 enlist ed men, and a war strength of 1, 250,000. The reserves to fill up the divisions to full strength would be provided through a ' modified form of the selective service net, under -...which the national army was raised for the war with Germany. For training purposes, only youths in their 19th year would b called to the colors for a three months' period, to be attached to the regu lar divisions for that time. It is estimated that this would provide an annual class of 00,000,000 moi to -be given an intensive military instruction, stripped of all voca tional or other educational fea tures. - For two years after training the youths would be required to 3ubmit certain reports giving their ad dresses, changes in status as to de pendents, phyaical condition,' efc. They, would receive $1 for each re port called for and submitted; thus encouraging the making of reports. In the event of war, all men in 'this status would be called to the col ors to fill up the regular division' and compose the first replacement units. The bill provides for reorganiza tion of the regular army In substan tially the same terms as previously recommended by Secretary Baker when the current army appropria tion bill was under consideration. No mention of the national guard is made in the hill, but in his let ter to the committee chairman. Secretary Baker said he assumed that the rational defense act would be continiifi in force, making the p-inrd subject to federnllzatloii for war. .

Pershing Is com ing home. After several years In Eurojw, during which he led his American boys to victory over the German autocracy, he is now turn ing his face again to the west and is coming back, with the plaudits ot the .world in his ears, to whatever his own country has in store ror him perhaps to another cycle ' of harrick life on the southern frontier.- ;. A while ago the Pershing club was launched .somewhere in ''tbe west and a boom started for the nomi-ia'ion of the great soldier for Republican nomination for Pres ident of the United States. There was. much discussion of the matter In the newspapers at the time, but Pershing himself said nothing pro or con anent the matter, and It Is not known whether or not he ia seeking political preferment at the hands of his countrymen. It is , perhaps doubtful if General Pershing is entertaining any such ambition as this, albeit it is a laud able one for anym an to entertain. Pershing is a soldier, and the chan ces are that he will prefefr to re main a soldier, doing the work of each day as it develops before him. Porsh'ng is a good soldier; It is doub ful if his is the temperament that would make a good President. The rank and file of his wrwutrymen prefer to remember him as the calm genius who led the American arras through the flres of battle to ulti mate and complete victory, and once again kept the Stars and Stripes unsullied from the dust. His place in history is secure. He is loved and honored by democrats and republicans alike by the peo ple of the north and the people of the south.
