THE ARMY COMMIsSI0N.
Plan TO QundrupIe the Army without
ADDING to the Number Of Onc,r-.


WAsHlNGToN, NV. 10. One of the best
considered plans now before the conn ission to
reorg gauize the army Is that which provides for
the speedy and most effective enhancement Of
the army in time Of special necessity. II IL pro-
posed to RAISE a quota Of men required to oil a
T., siment. Uuder present arrangements, hfty
men form a company. This, II 10 claimed,
makez too many officers for the men, and for
that reason Is q great source ~ expenss. 1t Is
now proposed TO make seveniy-hve men the
minimum quota Of each company, to be Kept AT
THIS standard in time OF peace but III time OF
war the maximum Ia to be 80 men. II Ia
claimed that this would place raw recruits with
veterans, whereas, II new regiments were raised
and under exI erienced Ofhcers, so that they
would very rapidly be auRht the duties Of sol
diers ana newly ofiirered. long tlme would be
required TO make them ot any practical availt-
hllity. IL Is urged that one OF the great mis-
takes made in our late war was that, ins cad OF
recruiting To I'LL up veteran regiments tninned
by losses IN the held, new regiments were being
consequence. there were alway- too great "a pro
por ION OF Oficeis to private soldiers, winch m
VOWED much greater expenditure OF public
money than was necessary. with our present
army OF 25,UOO men, this plan would enable tho
Government TO Al any Time Increase the army to
10000 men, without increasing the number Of
onicers. IL is not posslD Ole that tIls commission
