. CHANGE IN ARMY
General staff Blames Ineficiency To
Pork Barrel" Method of Mill
tary Appropriations.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-The United
Press is able today 70 give the prin-
cipal features OF the forthcoming re-
port OF the special stan recommend
ing a reorganization OF the army and
a definite military policy having for
Its object the perfection OF properly
proportional hghting machine OF nigh
efficiency"
The report will censure the present
plan OF scattering the army In small
garrisons throughout the country and
will arraign the pork barrel method
OF military appropriations, which Is
held by the general stan 10 be one
of the main causes OF the alleged
present inefficiency OF the army.
Only the explicit ordrs OF President
Taft. It was learned by the United
Press today. prevented the report
from going In as a part OF the annual
report OF the secretary OF war. The
president desired that all cabinet on
GERS cut down their estimates and
after the army estimates were pre-
pared. Secretary Dickinson made a
blanket reduction OF four millions in
the interest OF economy. The army
appropriation bill went to conference
yesterday and IL is approximately as
estimated by the general stan.
The changes desired by the general
stan will be presented 10 congress
later In n separate bill which will be
accompanied by a presidential mes
sage. Here is what the general stan
wants:
Five new regiments a year for six
years.
The doing away with the various
small departments" and the concen-
tration OF the army into four zones
OF defense.
The training OF the national guard
in these four Eones together with the
regular army so that higher degree
Of discipline can be brought about In
case II Is necessary 10 mobilize a
large army quickly at any one point
on our frontiers.
The elimination OF the seventy-six
garrisons caustically termed hitch
ing posts" by the general stan.
A special service corps under the
command OF a regimental quartermas-
ter officer, 10 care for the large posts,
always to be with the colors and re-
ceive rigid training.
The new plan is TO be completed
within six years, according TO the
present intention Of the general stan,
when the Panama canal shall have
been completed. and II will he neces-
sary 10 provide for its defense.
A special board. headed by Major
General Leonard Wood. and Gen. An
thouy Murphy of the coast defense
corps, will leave for Panama next
week and will be incorporated in the
general army reorganization plan. II
is estimated that aside from the two
ends of the canal. there are only 81
miles OF frontier on each side OF the
zone, that call for protection and that
the two regiments can properly handle
the Notifications planned.
