ARMY OF MILLION PLANNED
(Continued From First Page.)
of which can be called in the Federal
service under the existing; laws, will
have approximately 327,000 men and
10,300 officers at war strength. No
new regiments of the Guard will be
organized and the full limit of the
National defense act would be invoked
to wipe out any disturbance between
Federal and state forces. Here also
volunteers will be received and
drafting resorted to only when neces
sary. These two steps would provide a to
tal force of 614,000 men and 22,000 of
ficers, to be supplemented by a recruit
organization for each unit, making an
additional 200,000 men under training,
but to be held in reserve to fill gaps in
the active Army as they occurred.
Registration to Go Ahead.
For five months these expanded
forces would be subjected to training
of a character hitherto unknown in this
country. Simultaneously the registra
tion of all men between the ages of
19 and 25 will be carried out with Fed
eral, state and municipal authorities
co-operating. In August or early In
September the first 500,0u0 of this new
Army, composed exclusively of young
men summoned to the colors under the
principle of universal military service,
with those supporting dependents or
needed by the Nation in civil life ex
empted, would be assembled for train
ing. From the regulars and National
Guard regiments would be drawn 100,
000 specially selected officers and non
commissioned officers, who would or
ganize, train and command the units
of the new Army.
A year from now a second increment
of 500,000 youths would be called out.
Another 100,000 officers and non-commissioned
officers would be drawn from
the regulars, the National Guard forces
or from the first section of the Army,
to officer and train the second section.
Training; Machinery Bnllt Vp,
By that time the machinery that had
been built up would provide enough
trained officers and non-commissioned
officers to train a million or more men
&t a time if that were necessary.
The War Department bill, however,
proposes to organize now only the first
two classes of the new army, making
a. total of more than 2,000,000 troops
available, possibly within a year and a
naif, or In two years at most.
The sum of nearly $3,000,000,000 asked
by Congress to carry out this pro
gramme deals only with the first-year
preparation. Behind it stands the need
of an equal sum for reserve supplies
of ammunition, cannon and other war
material if the Army is to be employed
in actual war.
Included in the present estimates are
the cost of cantonments to house the
troops. Presumably the previous plans
ol tne ueneral staff for 16 military dis
tricts will be carried out. This would
provide for 16 complete and fully equip
ped army divisions, and while it is not
proposed. to create any additional tacti
cal units of the National Guard, steps
will be taken to fill in the gaps in the
present Guard structure with cavalry.
artillery, engineers or other special
troops, completing the tactical organi
zation of those forces on sound military
lines.
EipanMon Regarded A a Vital.
Staff officers regard the plan pro
posed as the most effective that could
be worked out to meet the present
emergency. They regard the expansion
of the regular Army and the bringing
of both that force and the present regi
ments of the Guard to full war strength
as vital, since for five months they ex
pect to employ these agencies as a
huge school from which trained offi
cers and non-commissioned officers can
be turned out. ' No other way presents
itself to meet the need for officers, al
though additional .steps are being
planned to organize new officers'
schools and supplement the work of
all military colleges and schools now
turning out prospective junior officers.
The staff bill, divided into 17 sec
tions, makes the following provisions:
Section 1. For the immediate expan
sion of the regular Army as described,

PLEA IS MADE FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE
Colonel McAIexander Urges
.. All to Rally to Country
In Time of Need.
MENACE DECLARED GRAVE
Speaker at Reunion of Old Company
K at University Club Says United
States' System of Prepara
tion Has Been "Rotten."
As ringing as a bugle call was the
plea for nationalism and the summons
to National defense made by Colonel
U. G. McAIexander in an address at the
reunion of old Company K at the Uni
versity Club last night. He Indicted
the slack system of preparation for war
the United States has folowed and char
acterized it as "rotten."
"There must be only two parties in
this country today," he said. "One the
American party, and the other a party
whose members will need to be put in
side a strong stockade, surrounded by
an armed guard. And we will put them
there, too.
"Germany laughs at your Bryans,
your Dr. Jordans, and at other college
presidents not so far away. We have
failed to set our house in order and the
result is that we are face to face with
some .very serious things. If you think
for one moment that this war is going
to be child's play, you will be sadly
mistaken.
Volnnteer System Scored.
"We have clung to the rottenest of
all systems, the volunteer plan of en
listment. Tou have In this state one
regiment of Infantry that Is still 375
mpn short, due to your magnificent sys
tem of volunteering. Until recently we
were 18,000 men short in the Navy, the
first line of defense. Admiral Winslow
stated that one first-class ship could
whip our whole Pacific fleet.
"You have got to meet the most cruel
and ruthless enemy the world has ever
known. If the young men now going
into the service are put into action
without being trained, we will charge
this Nation with nothing less than
murder. The true method would be to
have all men of a certain age called to
the colors, and that is the only demo
cratic way. No nation is so crazy that
it would attack a country that had
6,000,000 or 18,000,000 trained men
ready for arms, as we would have had
f the universal training system had
been adopted 20 years ago."
Colonel McAIexander spoke with tne
utmost earnestness. He said he had
the courage to tell of one wretched lie
in the school books, which glosses over
the defeat at Bladensburg, when as a
matter of fact on that occasion a small
British force defeated a vastly superior
army of United States volunteers.
The occasion was the 31st anniversary
of old Company K, First Infantry, Ore
gon National Guard. Old comrades of
that historic organization gathered at
dinner and told again of the campaigns
of other days. The main dining-room
of the club was hung with American
flags, and there were toasts to the
President, to absent members, and
cheers were given when patriotic senti
ments were spoken. A pledge to the
flag was given preceding the dinner.
Need of Service Told.
General Charles F. Beebe presented
B. B. Beekman as toastmaster of the
evening, and in doing so spoke of the
necessity for all to do their bit. In
living up to this sentiment. General
Beebe said he has offered the services
of Company K to Mayor Albee, and he
will confer further in this regard soon.
"This is a time for serious and
earnest thinking," said Mr. Beekman.
'Every effort to keep out of the war
has apparently been in vain, despite
the most earnest endeavor. Duty and
patriotism demand one sentiment only,
and that is Americanism first, last and
all the time. An armed and deadly con-

WINTER AND SPRING TONIQ
"Winter ia a hard season for those who
have no stored up reserve of strength.
The coming of trying spring weather
means sickness for many because de
bility robs the eystem of its power to
protect itself.
One person may Buffer exposure to
cold and wet without any ill effects
while another whose blood ia thin and
whose nerves are run-down will be con
fined to bed after sitting in a draught.
Keeping the blood built tip ia the
secret of keeping well in winter and
spring. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People are the best and most con
venient tonic for the blood. Put up
with complete directions for rise they
are a family remedy that can be de-
E ended upon in conditions of thin
lood, debility and many common
forma of weakness.
The blood goes to practically every
part of the body and if it ia rich and
red it carries health and strength to
every organ. The digestion ia toned
up, the nervea are strengthened and
aching muscles are made strong. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are especially use
ful to rnn-down women who worry
about their daily tasks and duties.
A few weeks' treatment has in hun
dreds of such casea brought the most
remarkable improvement.
fllct is Imminent, and the die is about
to be cast for a war of righteousness
and honor.
"In confronting the Goliath of mod
ern warfare today the United States
stands not unlike David of old, slightly
equipped as with the sling and a few
small stones. Whether the Nation shall
remain on the outside edges of the ti
tanic conflict or plunge Into the very
midst of it we must give a good ac
count of ourselves."
Universal Training Urged.
Letters of regret at being unable to
attend were read from Senator Cham
berlain, who spoke for a universal
training system: from H. L. Wells, for
mer captain of the company, who wrote
a historic sketch of the organization;
J. M. Carson. E. R. Adams, Nat C.
Strong, E. B. Tuttle, E. L.. King, Dan
J. Moore, W. T. Allen, Charles B.
Franklin, Charles C. Fisher. Fred E.
Edwards, E. H. Merrill, George Nelson
Wolfe and others. A telegram was
sent to Senator Chamberlain giving
support to the plan of universal mili
tary training.
Judge H. H. Northup spoke for a
trained militia. He said this is the need
of the country if this is to remain
a free state, and warrant for this is
given In the Constitution.
"Pacifists have lost their standing
In this country." declared R. I Sabin.
"We have heard a good deal of high
brow talk in the past few years of the
ideals of this country and these aspira
tions would be shattered by thoughts
of war. We have heard that our peo
ple did not raise their boys to be sol
diers. War'a Necessity Deplored.
"I feel profoundly that the time has
come when we should do what we may
to overcome the prejudice against mili
tary training. We have grown away
from the Idea of war; It is distasteful
to us. If war is now forced upon us,
as it seems to be, we will act, not for
greed of gain, but to give a square deal
to every man, to live up to the high
principles of the Declaration of Inde
pendence and the Constitution of the
United States. To me it seems to be
the duty of the hour to back up the
President and to stand by him. When
he gives the word, let us be as near
ready as it is humanly possible to be."
Whitney L. Boise spoke along simi
lar lines. He said it is fortunate for this
country that Germany's army and navy
are engaged across the sea and that
they cannot well get away to attack us.
Universal military training, he de
clared, will do away with classes In
this country and it will prove a great
melting pot that will melt away the
false ideas of caste. All must stand
shoulder to shoulder, he said, for the
realization of a common purpose.

GeFins Breed
In almost every city there is a neighborhood that is
a hot-bed of tuberculosis because one drop of infected
sputum was permitted to dry and become scattered

direction, including the clean neighborhoods.
Many a deadly epidemic couldhave been prevented
If some housewife somewhere had realized the value
of home disinfection. In every home there are places
where disease germs are almost always present.
Left undisturbed, these germs will breed by millions
and menace the life and health of your family and your
neighborhood. Yet you can make these danger spots
germ-proof.

kills the spores (eggs) so germ life is impossible where
