Extent of q Great Movement lnaugurated
Only Six Years Ago.
Mrs. Charles Henrotin, president OF
the General Federation of Women's
clubs, writes of this movement in the
American Jewess. She says in part:
"Six years ago the general federation
was inaugurated, having as ITS aim the
uniting of the clubs of the country in
one association, to promote the COM
parison of methods of club work in
order to establish standard by which
the best results could be secured and
the quickening of intellectual and So
ciul life.
"The federation now numbers over
$50 individual clubs. Three years ago
the clubs belonging to the general fed
Grafton realized the need of a state fed
Grafton, as yhe meetings of the general
federation, which convene bieEnially,
are SO large that 1t is impossible for the
members of the individual clubs to
attend in large numbers, especially the
smaller clubs, which are so greatly in
need of intellectual cooperation.
1.-THE stale federations already formed
and holding annual meetings which are
members of the general federation are
as follows: Maine. Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New
York, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan.
Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Colorado,
Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, Kentucky,
and the District Federation of Column
bia. Missouri, Pennsylvania and Ten
Eessee have appointed committees to
federate these states. The annual meet
ings held ny the state declarations are
largely attended by club members and
are marked by enthusiasm ard an earn
est purpose.
ct is estimated that over 100000
women are members of clubs through
out the country"

and militia are of this arm, and they
have right to expect to see in each
regular infantry regiment a model for
their guidance"
lie says of the artillery that when
our system of defenses is completed it
will require a total of 20,314 enlisted
men to provide one relief for all the
guns and mortars. On the peace foot
ing the 20 heavy batteries would have
trifle over 1000 men, every one OF
whom would be trained gunner.
With the maximum strength now
contemplated by the revised statutes
these batteries would have nearly TO-
coo men. By further possible in
crease of the enlisted strength they
could provide between 1900 and 49,
900 men, and in either case the addi-
tional men scattered among the organ
izations would become quickly trained.
The latter number would provide the
war garrisons first needed for the more
important harbors, and in any event
there would be a carefully trained body
Of at least 1000 gunncrs with their OH
GERS to be scattered among the various
Notifications for the training or volun-
teer organizations in peace and as a
nucleus for the garrisons in time Of
war.
| The total number of separate FORTH
cations projected and partially COM
pletcd is little more than 100. In
some harbors there will be one, i'll
others there will be ten, twelve and IF.
teen. Not oil of these will require
permanent garrisons in time of peace.
! The work of instruction will be car
ried on in the larger fortiticntions,
while detachments sent out from time
to time will suffice for the care and
preservation of material in the others.
1t is believed that 10 companies Of Sec
coast artillery will enable this work
to be properly done, but that is the
minimum number that should be ex
pectcd to do it.
The improvements suggested by the
secretary could be accomplished
through an addition to the per cent. ell
listed force of 1900 men, and would
leave the total strength the same as
that now authorized.
| The distribution would then stand
about as follows: Cavalry, 80 squad
rons. 6.17o; artillery, IA light batteries,
80 sen-eoast batteries, 5,O75; infantry.
IS battalions. 1925; engineers, bat
talon, 500; ordnance detachments.

nance sergeants. 40; quartermaster
sergeants, so; commissary sergeants,
so; hospital corps, I'll; miscellaneous,
i47; total, 10000.
Such force. considered with refer
cnce to territory Of 100000 square
miles. provides one soldier to 100 square
miles. The total increase over present
expenditure for pay. rations, clothing
and forage would be $1,77o,G73.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.

Restions to the Congress.
Wants to See the Number of Men Increased
20 8o,O0O-Hoa FortiGcatlons Urgently
Needed for tho Protection of
Our l1nrbors.

Agreeably to the requests of Senator
Hawley and Representative Hull, Sec
rotary Lamont has forwarded to the
senate and house committees on mill
tary affairs carefully prepared propo-
sition looking to the reorganization OF
the line of the army on modern basis.
In relation to the artillery and infan-
try. the proposition contains the recon-
'nendations OF Gen. Miles. With the
suggested bill the secretary sent to the
committees a statement showing the
great Importance of army reorganiza-
ton. The war department proposition
provides rs follows:
The principal changes worked by the
bill will be the addition of two regi-
ments to the artillery force, and the fill
ing up of the companies and troops
skeletonized during the last administra-
ton.
1t will add two majors and two COM
panies to each regiment of infantry,
placing this arm of the service on the
same footing as the cavalry and artil-
lery. Another important proviso is
that. after July 1. 1896, the date on
which the bill is to take effect, all pro-
motions in the line of the army shall be
according to seniority from the next
lower grades in the several arms. This
VIII do away with regimental promo
ton.
That the line Of the army shall con-
sist of ten regiments of cavalry, seven
regiments of artillery and 25 regiments
Of infantry, and that the total number
o. enlisted men in the army of the
United States, including Indian scouts
and the hospital corps, shall be limited
to 10000.
In his statement to the committees,
Secretary Lamont says that the plan OF
reorganization submitted contem-
plates no change in the cavalry arm,
beyond the manning of the skeleton
troops and completing the squadron
organization. while the total number OF
troopers would remain unchanged.
OF the infantry the secretary says:
This arm must furnish the mass OF
any army. The other arms are ac-
ccssory and subordinate to the infan-
try. Upon it's tactics the whole super
structure of military operations must
be built. Nearly all the national guart!
