BY the directio.I of the President. and
upon the original suggestion of General
Bell. chef Of staff, a special army board,
of which Brig. Gen. w. w Wother-
spoon, president OF the War College, is
president, has been appointed to draw
up plans Tor general reorganization of
the army on modern, progressive lines.
The plans call for an authorized in
creased strength from 5000 officers and
men TO 10000 men. The plans viii also
call for q closer relationship between
the organized militia and the regular
army. looking to a means OF quicker
mobilization of the two branches than
Is now possible.
The board has been instructed by
General Bell TO work out plans on the
general lines as advanced by him in
his annual report last fall, and in his
hearings before the Military Affairs
Committees of Congress. The need of
such a proposed organization is supreme,
in the opinion of General Bell. It has
been pointed out by members of the
General Stan th&, the organization is
