means be devised to allow the
War Department to purchase and
manufacture sufficient supply of mod
ern arms, ammunition, clothing and
quartermaster's supplies of all kinds to
equip an army consisting of 250,000 men.
In making his recommendation along
this line. the Secretary bases his esti-
mate of the force upon the 100000 men
constituting the regular army in time
of war, and an additional force OF $780,
600 men to be drawn from the militia,
or, as it is to be called, the National
Military Reserve"
Secretary Root will make two other
recommendations of first Importance.
He is convinced, as, in fact, are great
majority of technical military men of
this country, that the efficiency of the
regular establishment would be incal-
culably benefited by the establishment
of a general staff to have charge Of all
preparations and plans for war. Such
a project was advanced by Secretary
Root during the last session of Con-
gress. but was opposed by Lieut.. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles.
General Miles is now out OF the coun-
try, en- route to the Philippines. and it

sion. look with favor upon Mr.. Roots
staff plan.
The third suggestion of the War De-
partment will relate to the organiza-
tion of a national military reserve.
Chairman Dick, of the House Committee
on Militia, has been given charge of
this matter, and the belief prevails IN
military circles that Congress- will pass
bill carrying such plan into effect
during its coming session.
The idea of Secretary Root is to have
the militia organizations of the various
States well trained and equipped with
modern Krag- Jorgensen rifles and other
engines of warfare. In time of war the
national military reserve will be placed
under the direct control of the Federal
Government for purposes of offensive
and defensive operations.

Secretary Root Plans to
Avoid Recurrence of Dis
orders Which Marked Be-
ginning of Spanish War
General Staff Proposed.

Although the Secretary of War has
not yet begun the preparation Of his
forthcoming annual report to the Presi-
dent, tentative plans have been drawn
by the War Department looking to rec
concentrations to Congress during its next
session of very radical changes in the
organization and equipment of the mill
tary establishment of the United States.
Secretary Root is firm believer in the
old adage of In time of peace prepare
for war and is working to prevent the
recurrence of the disorder and unpre-
paredness which characterized the War
Department at the outbreak Of the
Spanish American war.
The Secretary will, therefore, p-i-
marily recommend to Congress that
