Military Men Say Force Is Reduced
Beyond Point of Safety for
the Nation.
NEED OF REFORM IN SERVICE
Low Pay and Requirement Of Hard
Practice Marches Are Main
Points of Attack.

The War and Navy Departments m e
trying to reach an agreement by which
the marines are to be withdrawn from
the Isthmus of Panama and two regi-
ments Of infantry are to be sent to take
their places as guards. 1t is fully ex-
pected that before long two regiments
or foot will be on their way to the
canal zone. This diverting Of army
regulars to a new field will mean that
the forces in the United States are to
be depleted beyond that which officers
believe to be the danger point.
The infantry problem Is one Of the
most serious factors In the greater
problem of the army's weakness. On
paper we are supposed to have 10000
infantrymen, but in truth we have moth
Ing like that number. and unless the
increase Of pay bill pass Congress, 1t is
perfectly evident that the ranks will
be thinned still further. An army Off
Ger who knows conditions tells Wash
ington correspondent that in case of
emergency there would be less than
1000 infantrymen who could be brought
with anything like dispatch to any
threatened point within the limits of
the United States proper.
There are two chief army measures
now before Congress, one dealing with
the matter Of the increase of pay and
the other dealing with the matter of
the Increase of the infantry. A CORE
spondent says there is precious little
hope that both bills can pass. 1t prob
ably would be folly to pass the second
bill without passing the first, for it
would be useless to provide for an In
crease in the ranks if no Rlaucements
were held out by which the increase
could be effected.
Objections to Army Life.
Interviews with enlisted men disclose
three chief objections to army life, and,
in order of numerical precedent, they
rank like this:
Monthly practice marches.
Poor pay.
Non-military duty required Of the en-
listed men.
Some of the ranking officers Of the
army have inyeighed constantly against
what they call the folly of the frequent
practice marches. The men are kept in
fine physical condition and as hard as
walnuts through the daily drills, the
guard duty, the good food, and the reg
ular living generally. Yet they are
compelled at least once a month to
hike out on the road under heavy bur-
dens and trying conditions for the pur-
pose of keeping In trim so that they
will be ready for the field in case Of
hostilities The practice march, fairly
long continued and to come at long in
tervals, has Its uses, and the men like
it; but they don't like 1t coming as it
does every three or four weeks.
