GENERAL MARCH ASKED
FOR ARMY OF 200,000
Retiring Chief of Staff Warned
Against Cut te 150,000
Washington. Dec. 11!. (Py A. P.)
Warning against a permanent reduction
of the regular army below 200,000 en
listed men In seund.ed in the Inst annual
report of Majer (Jcneral Peyton 0.
March, new retired, wartime chief of
staff of the nrrny.
The idea that an army of 1C0.0O0
men. the strength new authorized by
mandate of Congress, furnishes 75 per
cent as much national defense as a force
of 200,000 "Is a fallacy," says General
March.
"The GO.OOO men above the 150,000
is the combat part in instant readiness
te meet whatever cmcrgencv may de
velop. The reduction te 150,000 will
almost annihilate this force, constantly
needed in peace, and providing the life
saving tlrst line te held back the enemy
in fine of war until the second-line
elements of defense are mobilized "
General March asserts that new that
the war has been wen there is "grave
danger" thnt the American peeple will
lese sight of "the fertunate escape from
indescribable calamity that ordinarily
is the fruit of unprcparcdness." Let it
net be forgotten, he adds, that It re
quired seventeen months for the United
Htates te put an independent army in
the field In France, nnd asks what
would have happened had France re
quired se long n time te put Inte line
the first fighting unit.
Turning te the question of universal
military training, the general ajiys that
"if that portion of the manhood of
the Natien which would serve with the
colors In time of war could apprc-.
cinte what it meant when untrained
men must be hurried Inte battle they
probably would vote overwhelmingly for
the training in time of peace that would
fit them for their duties in war nnd
would Insure them n decent ehnnce for
their lives en the field of battle.
"The untrained men thnt were rushed
te the front In our nrmles," he adds,
"must always pay a fenrful tell in
needless less of life because of their
lack Of training."
