ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Congressman Hull Says Some Measure Of
n General Character viii Probably
lie Presented To Congress

Washington, Jan 81 hairlnan
Hull, of the house committee on mil
itary affairs, says some me-" ,lre OF a
general chara; ter relating =. the or
ganization of the army probably will
be presented at this session of on
gress. Mr.. Hull has conferred with
war department officials pr',I to the
holidays with a view to reschng an
understanding on what W., needed
in the way of military legislation and,
II is understoodfi that bills are being
matured for submission later. He
says the prescrt law will d. as EN-
porary measure, but as it specifically
provides that the present oroaniza, ..on
of the army shall cease or .Inlg /,
1901, II is imperative that this ron
gress do something in tt way of
army organization. He h,ids the
view, however that condition. are too
unsettled in the Philippines and else.
where to say definitely as L, the nun
her OF troops needed in lprmaIcn
organization, but il conhlrnt that
there never will be reduction Of
the regular army back to $4,000.
There are several genera features
of army organization which iIr. Hull
believes will ne embodied in f,ch
legislation rs 8 enacted lhest in
clude the three battalion 'Irma ion
which was a marked departure in
augurated by the last act and has
given general satisfaction. Another
featur, is that allowing the drmq TO
"expand from Within by decreasing
the numerical strength OF The ,om-
panies instead of creating new regi-
ments Mr. Hull says this feature has
proved most beneficial as it gives
an elastic organization, capable of
ready expansion in time of need with
out additional officers and an entire
new organization. The stan organl-
cation Of the army also is likely to
receive attention. Secretary Root ia
vors Il change in the present system
with view to having "detail staff"
that Is staff bureaus recruited largely
from the line of the army. This
would be a marked departure as
the present staff bureaus are almost
entirely permanent. Among military
experts there is said 10 be consider
able difference Of opinion on this
point, as the German, French and
other continental military systems
have permanent staff organizations.
Grent Britain is the only great power
having d detail staff.
