THE ARMY BILL.
Republicans Want to Leave Size OF
Army to President.

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. Nov. 21.-The House
Committee on Military Affairs met to-day
for the purpose of considering the new
army bill. The business was mostly OF
preliminary character, the discussion be-
ing quite general on army affairs.
The Republican members of the commit
tee apparently are in favor OF giving the
President such an army as he may re-
uuire The draft OF bill already prepared
by Chairman Hull will be the bass OF the
measure which the committee Will con-
sider This bill provides for an army or
the maximum strength OF 1oO,HO men, WITH
a minimum of 5000, and general oIlcers
at the rate of one Drigndier-seneral Tor
each 1900 men, with maJor-Senerals in
proportion.
Chairman Hull states that there viii be
but one bill prepared, and if any staff
changes are contemplated they Will De
Incorporated in thnt measure.
The members of the committee will con-
fer with Secretary Root in day or Two
This afternoon they went over the OH,
which has been known as the War De-
partment bill, drawn on lines suggested
and approved by Secretary Root
The Secretary expects to give further
consideration to the bill, and then he WILL
send it TO members of the committee
The War Department bill provides for
a. maximum Of Sc, 600 men and minimum
of $500, with thirty regiments OF lntdn-
try, fifteen regiments Of cavalry and
gradual increase of the artillery until at
the end Of five yenrs there Will De lS,oUo
men. The artillery is not to be organized
into regiments, but as batteries and Neid
artillery. With the maximum army there
are to be $50 men to each infantry COM
pany, making 1,S30 men to a regiment. The
maximum of a cavalry troop Is to be 1o1
men. There is no provision for a !ieuten-
ant general in the War Department bill.
but under the present law the senior
major-general commanding would have
the rank of lieutenant general.
The Wur Department bin does not give
the same increase of major generals and
hrjgadier generals as the Hull bill. The
detailed staff provisions are an important
feature of the measure. It provides that
hereafter vacancies in the staff, excepting
the medical corps, pay corps and engi-
neers, shall be filled by details from the
line, such detailed officers being subject
to line duty at any time
This is the same as the HUI bill OF the
last Congress, and is earnestly. favored by
Secretary Root
The Department bill provides thnt the
promotions shall be made from the regu-
lar army according to the present rank,
down to and including the rank of captain.
The officers of the present volunteer army
can become officers in the regular army,
but in the grades of first md second leu
tenants only, the vacancies in the cap
tain's rank being filled from the first leu
tenants of the present regular establish
ment. the relative rank of the volunteer
officers enterings the regular establish
ment to be determined by seniority.
