TO INCREASE ARMY.
Roosevelt VIII Recommend all Addi-
ton of 10000 Men.

WAshington.-Presi Roosevelt,
In his final annual message to con-
gress, probably will recommend an
increase in the numerical stength of
the army to at least 100000 men. At
present the army is on a footing of
10000 men, the number provided for
in time of peace.
To the general staff IL has become
evident In the last two years that
10000 men are too few properly to
garrison the posts at which 1t Is nee
essary to maintain an army force.
The posts include the garrisons
in the insular possessions of America.
The law provides that the army may
be increased to 100000 men in time
of need. This provision, in the opin-
ion Of military experts, is likely to
prove a serious handicap to the army
II absolute necessity should arise for
a larger force.
In the remote event of a war be-
tween America and Japan, and some
other power which Japan is on friend.
ly terms, 1t would be impossible for
the comparatively small force of Unit
ed States troops now in the Hawaiian
island to prevent landing of arms and
ammunition to supply the Japanese in
the islands. It is expected that the
president will recommend in his mes
sage an increase in the army by the
addition of at least ten regiments of
infantry, five regiments of cavalry
and several companies of coast ar
tillery.
