PLAN TO UTILIZE TRAINED EXPERTS

War College Is Working On Scheme For Having the Civil Workmen Available For Warfare. Washington, Aug. 30.—Plans for having immediately available for the nation’s service in time of war associations or societies of engineers, bridge builders, electricians, telegraphers and other trained experts in civil life, are being worked out at the army war college, in connection with the general reorganization scheme now being studied. . Secretary Garrison said today he had received numerous suggestions from members of those bodies that the organizations might be of use to supplement the army engineer and expert corps should the need arise. The war college will submit a detailed report on the scheme which probably will be included in the secretary’s report to congress this winter.
