Pending Army Legislation.

As is well known by this time, nothing
VIII be done during the remaining days Of
the present session toward the enactment
OF the various bills pending before the
house and senate military committees re-
lating to the army. AS has been stated on
these pages Representative Hay, chairman
Of the house military committee, will be
in readiness early in the regular session In
December to report the bill into which he
has Incorporated the various measures
which have been the occasion of hearings
during the present extra session. Mr.. Hay
is receiving replies from army officers to
whom he has sent requests for their views
respecting the increase of the army enlist
ment period from three to five years. These
Inquiries were sent to field officers in the
United States and In the Philippines and
when the replies are received Mr. Hay will
have them analysed for the benefit of con
gress. 1t Is considered that by this means
the house military committee will be in
possession Of the army view of the situa-
ton. In this connection interest attaches
to the statement which has been made by
Representative Hay in reply to criticisms
of his course in obtaining this information

General Woods Inspection Tour,
Major General Leonard Wood, chief OF
staff OF the army, will shortly start on an
inspection tour which will include nearly
all Of the coast artillery posts and stations
Of the mobile army, which he has not
visited lie has lately Inspected the posts
in New England and he desires to visit all
the posts in the United states His trip
will take him through Texas, where he will
specially observe the conditions along the
Mexican border and visit the maneuver
division at San Antonio He will be ac-
companied by Major johnson Hagood Of
the general staff. when he visits the coast
artillery posts and by Captain Charles d.
Rhodes, also Of the general staff when he
visits the stations OF the mobile army.
Troop MoNement Program.
Now that there has been a reduction Of
part OF the maneuver division in Texas
by the withdrawal OF some Of the troops
Of that command. it will be possible to
carry out the schedule Of troop movement
between this country and the Philippines
The first OF the regiments. according to the
schedule to be transferred is the Thirteenth
infantry, which was to have sailed for
leave on the October transport, which
means six months delay all along the
line, both in the departing and In the re-
turning commands. This. of course, is due
to the existence of the so-called maneuver
division in view of the menacing situation
In Mexico. The military authorities are
much gratified over the fact that II was
possible to send the troops to Texas and
return some Of them to their stations and
still leave a small balance to the credit OF
army transportation for the last fiscal
year. There will be no deficiency on ac-
count of the mobilization of troops in Texas
but this has been accomplished by cutting
a variety of necessary projects and going
without some Of the things which are
greatly needed, such as the repairs to
transports. The postponement for six
months of the troop movement between
this country and the Philippines simply
has the effect Of transferring to another
fiscal year this cost which amounts to
$4,000 for railroad fare alone in the case
OF regiment moved to the Philippines
There is no particular advantage, Of
course, gained, since the postponement of
troops will require an undue draft on the
l9ll-lsR army transportation fund and in
the end there will be deficiencies.
