The House committee on military af.
fairs has communication from Gen.
Pope regarding army organization and
so forth. He expresses the opinion that
twenty five thousand men is too small n
force for the needs of the country, and
argues that the committee, in order to
properly del ermine what form OF staff
organization and administration should
provide for its thorough investigation by
a board of officers of rank and distinction
designated by an act otCongress. Gen,
Pope holds that an army, no less than II
torn of government, must be suited to
people, or it is sure to prove both
inefficient and unsatisfactory. To say
that because system of army organiza-
ton and administration had worked
well in Germany, France or elsewhere,

and the nature OF military service to be
performed, it should be adopted in this
