gress at its next session for increasing the

tion of regular reserve" consisting of

ment and who would be ready for service
at any moment. The regular reserve would
consist Of 10000 men, each OF whom would
be paid So a month. They would be re-
quired to furnish their addresses to the War
Department and notify the department of
any change in address. Thus an army OF
100000 men with military training could be
quickly mobilized.
The plan next includes the creation of q
national reserve" OF 100000 men. Their
names and addresses would be on file in the
department and they would be paid a small
sum yearly. probably about 81. Together
the regular reserve, the national reserve

timated at $4,000 by the department, the
war strength Of tho army would be $50 600
