SIR The insufciency of the artillery arm, as 10 strength
and organization, has long attracted the attention OF The
War Department. on numerous representations ana re-
ports upon the subjects and now respectfully submit for
consideration and adoption, the accompanying proef OF a
section to be added to some army BILL when, although
proposing but small increase, would nevertheless, add
greatly to the power and efficiency OF 1hls very important
regiment is proposed but merely the addition OF TWO COM
panes to each, making increase, in ALL OF eight com
panes ihs would carry up ae w am
six than the peace establishment OF 1913, which, In
the aggregate, was 4,743. 49,
The designation and equipment OF four additional com
panes, to serve light flying artillery is of the high
est importance the service Never were ITS power and
efficiency more striking and decisive than the battles of
the th and 9th of May 1916 For this species of force,
the President is now empowered by law to organize but
four companies the Recommendation is, that he be au
horized to equip four additional, which would make in
ALL eight companies of light drery, when the service IN
the opinion Of the President might require many,
emphacally the case now. These companies, when de-
ached from their respective regiments to act as light ar
tery, might by Executive authority Temporarily be or
ganzed into two separate battaons each of four compa
Mes and these be subdvded into dem battalons as the
service would require, with appropriate field de-
orce in the aggregate would present battery consist
ing of two battaons Of forty-eght pieces to w.t. thirty
two 6pounders, and sixteen 12pounders howtzers and
be susceptible of division and subdivision INTO batteries OF
twenty -four, twelve, and six guns respectively.
Liable to the harder duty, and all the additional expense
of mounted troops (the officers providing their own
light artillery when mounted, should receive the same
pay and allowances as are provided for other mounted
troops a, r..
the regiment of artillery strangely omitted in the act
OF March I'd, 1921, scarcely word is necessary in way
of explanation, except that these regiments do require the
grade and just much do the infantry regiments their
principal musicians, or the Dragons and remen the
chef bugis, provided for each respectively by law.
