Scott insists that "'troops trained for even one year in time of peace will have to be given additional training in time of war before they can successfully oppose the high standards of training and discipline that is given by nations with which we are likely to j clash in wax." . i Much more rigid requirements as to i term of training are provided in a unl-. . versal trainng bill being prepared by j the general staff. - The first draft of this measure was l submitted to Secretary of War Baker l two weeks ago. Baker, however, was ; unwilling to approve - the bill as it stood, and sent it to the war college in order, be said, "that certain of its pro visions might be given further study." Baker declines to state whether he ' expects the general ataff bill, in Its revised form, will be such as to receive his indorsement, or even whether he expects it to be returned in time t: be submitted at the present, session of' congress. He only says he is doing nothing to delay its completion or pre- 1 vent it early introduction, and that It , differa-very substantially" from the; Chamberlain bill, particularly as to term of training.
