(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. April 10 Plans for

the national guard were definitely outlined today by the war department.

his readiness to pilot the administration war program through the house. He voted against the war resolution and there was some doubt of his position. Mr. Kitchin also announced that he would give the Democratic caucus an opportunity to decide if it desired xo depose him as house leader.

Great surprise was expressed by Mr. Kitchin over any question as to his being willing to push the war measure through the house. He never nad any intention of opposing them since the war resolution passed, he said. "Now that the resolution has passed I certainly am willing to take charge of the measures and push them through," said he. "1 cannot understand why it ever has been intimated that I would be unwilling to take charge of the bill. I expressed my willingness in my address to the,house and I wish to reiterate it now."

ARMY OFFICERS EXPECT A YEAR TO DRILL ARMY

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, April 10. Officers cf the army general staff noted with satisfaction today that military critics of some British newspapers fully recognize the fact that the United States is faced by months of army training before a force could be sent abroad with any reliance in its ability to take its place beside the veterans of the French and British armies in the trenches. The situation as outlined ty the London Times critic states exactly the views of American military experts. T Bill Carefully Framed. The army. bill now before congress was carefully framed by Secretary Baker after thorough discussion with his military advisers. Its purpose is to provide first an army to train the first increment of troops to be summoned by draft seyeral months from now. It will take a minimum of 100,000 officers and men to provide the half million men in that force with instructors. The preliminary use of the regular army and national guard, as contemplated in the bill, will be to produce that training force and at the same time furnish a thoroughly trained army of half million men for whatever use it might be desired to make Of it After the 100,000 officers and noncommissioned officers have been withdrawn and assigned to the new army, the first line troops will need a period of further training in which the men and officers promoted to fill the vacancies can be seasoned to their new duties. The force will still act as a school, however, to produce additional training personnel for the second half million or any other additional forces called out Presumably these first line troops after eight or ten months of training could furnish a thoroughly trained and equipped expeditionary force if that were desired. They would be considered fully trained to meet any emergency by that time.
