their Willingness to cooperate with the
War Department steps win be taken
toward putting the plan into action.
The matter of a general rearranGc~
ment of the various army posts occu.
pies a prominent place in the report.
The Secretary of War expresses his
conviction that, as now situated, tho
army posts do not meet the require
ments OF the service, many of ti"m be-
ing isolated and difficult of access.
The majority of these posts, he points
out, spranS into existence because il,
the early days of the West the regular
army was largely used for the protec.
ton OF settlers from the Indians. The
Indians have long since ceased to be q
menace to the whites, and the posts
have outiiv9d their usefulness. The
army authorities now set forth that
tactical and strategicai necessities re

the militia.
"Hencc. the three requirements,
says Secretary Dickinson, economy,
possibility of rapid movement and
training of the militia-would all be
met in the most effective manner if the

which the General staff believes should

Washington. December. IA COM
prchensive reorganization of the
army establishment of the United
states is the principal recon-
incubation contained in the an
rual report of Secretary OF War
Dickinson for the fiscal year ending
June 20. 1909 made public today. More
officers. closer cooperation with the
militia of the various states and gen.
oral reimbursement of the locations of
the various army posts are some of the
crying reforms urged upon the atten-
ton of Congress. The present distri
button of the troOns of the regular
army, in the opinion of the Secretary
of War is not only illogical but offers
a serious menace.
At the time of the last reports from
the military departments. which were
received in October. it was found that
tire regular army numbered 71,S40 men
with 400 officers, making total force
OF 5000, Il net increase during the
year OF 3.421. The figures do not in
clude the -3.4S5 men of the Hospital
Corps,

report calls attention to the fact that
700 are detailed to special duty, near

It provides that the Jurisdiction Of
those courts shall be concurrent with

lar election, after which they viii be
