cial meeting today to consider the hill for
the reorganization Of the army. The bin.

what is known a. the three battalion form.
met with the unanimous approval, OF the
members Of the committee.
Some criticism was made OF the phrase
oiagy Of that portion Of the hill anthoriz-
ing the president ''in time OF war to ex-
rand the skeleton bat:alious and recruit
the regiments and companies up TO the full
strength provided Cor In the BILL
Some members desired the language of
the bill 10 forbid unequivocally the
strengthening OF the army. except in time
OF actual recognised and declared war.
and this suggestion was unanimously con-
olosy was ordered.
The whole text OF the bill was not gone
over. but at the session on Monday It win
be completed and reported to the house for
action.
An additional section was proposed H
follows:
That no troops shall be called out by
the president for longer term than one
year cor until peace Is declared. IL sooner
reached) without the approval or deciara-
ton Of congress"
This amendment is also pending.
NEW YORK. March fa.-Secretary Of
War A.ger dictated the following state
ment to a Washington correspondent Of
the World concerning the Hull bill re-
organizing the line Of the army:
THE Hull bill has my entire approval.
and l so told the president this afternoon
In answer TO question from him As 10
my notion of the measure. The orxaniza-
ton under this bin in time Of peace calls
for eighty companies. TWO companies to
station. a major to each battalion:
lieutenant colonel and a colonel to each
regiment There are now ten companies,
according to law. in each regiment. Two
OF them will be skeletonfzed under the
new plan. by which 1t Is. understood that
the officers OF the two companies remain
for duty and are detailed to special duty
We have loo men at colleges and places
OF learning where military tactics are
taught. and We are enabled to use these
officers under this bill In time OF war
That company where all enlisted men are
mustered ont Is called skeleton COM
pany. Another good thing about the Hull
bill Is that when q man deserts he can
never be restored, and afterward draw a
pension. In the present system we have
many deserters who have been restored"
