I Uror the General Wood Idea of a stand ing army rather than that of Secre tary Baker, but like aU 'cranks' on matters military I have a' panacea of my own," remarked Lieutenant- Colonel Theodore Roosevelt tn one of his Infrequent rest periods at bis hotel. "Universal training is more im porta nt from an economic stand point than the military, to my mind," continued Roosevelt "I would exempt no young mau from military training, for physical or other reasons. For those who are deficient physically, or mentally, I would recommend training or de velopment battalions In charge of experta. It would mean Americani zation and regeneration, in many cases. "I believe In compulsory training, but not in compulsory service in time of peace.. In other words, I do not believe men' should be drafted into a standing' army. In time of war general conscription for the army Is en admitted success. It would be more so It conscription' should draw men who already had gone through a training period, mak ing them more fit, more prepared. . "How would I suggest handling the compulsory training? If I bad my way, I would handle it through a general staff composed ot. one fifth' regular army officers, one-fifth employers of labor, one-fifth repre sentatives of labor, one-fifth Inter ested in arming, and one-fifth edu cators from schools of the nation uovernors or tne states would re commend appointees in these, var ious classes. "The national guard would be rep resented on the general staff in the last four classes. The national guard of the nation would be -Interested in the program and would be the re ceptacle of the men who had com pleted compulsory training. They would desire to keep in touch "with military affairs when their compul sory term had ended and would turn to the national guard." "I have found the sentiment for the 'American Legion splendid wher ever I have gone, and organization is progressing rapidly," he reported.
