INCREASE IN THE
STANDING ARMY
Roosevelt Will Recommend to
Congress an Addition
of 10000 Men.

Washington. Sept. 6.-President Roose-
welt in his final annual message to con-
gress probably will recommend an in
crease in the numerical strength of the
army to at least 100000 men At present
the army is on a footing of COCO men. the
number provided for in time of peace.
To the general staff ii has become evil
dent in the last two years that $1,000 men
are too few properly TO garrison the posts
at which it is necessary to maintain an
army force. The posts include the gar
risons in the insular possessions OF Amer
lea. The law provides that the army may
be increased TO 100, 900 men in time OF need.
This provision. in the opinion of military
experts. is likely to prove a serious ham
dicap to the army if absolute necessity
should arise for larger force.

1t is pointed out that the recruiting of

bring into the service an addition of two
inexperienced TO every three experienced

from the efficiency of the army.
Ii is also pointed out that considerable
force will be required to garrison the for
