After the adjournment of the last session of
Congress, events transpired in the prosecution
of the war, which, in my Judgment required a
greater number of troops ln' the field than had
been anticipated. The strength of the army was
accordingly increased by accepting the servi-
ces Of all the volunteer forces authorized by the
act Of the 18th of May, 1916, without putting
construction on that act, the correctness of
which was seriously questioned
The volunteer forces now in the field, with
those which had been accepted to serve for
twelve months and were discharged at the end
of their term Of service, exhaust the fifty thous.
and men authorized by that act. Had it been
clear that proper construction Of that act war
ranied 1t, the services of an additional number
would have been called for and accepted: bu,
doubts existing on this point, the power was not
exercised.
1t is deemed important that Congress should.
at an early period of their session. confer the
authority to raise an additional regular force TO
serve duling the war with Mexico and to be
discharged upon the conclusion and ratification
of a treaty OF peace. invite the attention Of
Congress to the views presented by the Secre
tary of War in his report upon this subject.
recommend, also, that authority be given by
law to call for and accept the services of an ad
ditional number of volunteers. to be exercised
at such time and TO such extent as the emergen-
cies Of the service may Iequire.
