A batch of bills has been introduced in
the house by Representative Anthony,
member of the house military committee.
These measures, the texts of which are
published elsewhere, provide for a re-
duction in computing length Of service for
retirement of enlisted men to the ratio
of three to two for time OF actual service
in the PHILIPPINES, Panama, and Guam
only; the payment of travel allowances
only when such travel IL actually per-
formed; the confinement of clothing al
lowances TO that necessary for actual use
and the prohibition of cash communication
OF clothing allowance; the consolidation OF
the present military departments into four
instead of nine; the establishment of an
eight-year term of enlistment, three of
which years shall be with the colors and
five with a reserve corps, which is 10 be
organized under such regulations as may
receive the approval of the general staff
Following the practice, these bills will be
duly submitted to the war department for
comment. As the most Important pro-
visions included in Mr.. Anthonys meas
ures have been incorporated in bills intro
duced by the chairman of the committee
there is not likely to be any action on
Mr.. Anthony's bills, although favor in the
war department is manifested toward the
proposition which provides for a reserve
corps. There will later on be a hearing
before the military committee on the sub
ject of the term Of enlistment.
the consideration of pending army leg
islation in the house military committee
began this week with the hearing OF th'
chief OF staff of the army and the heads
OF the three branches proposed for CON
solidation into a general supply corps. The
testimony was altogether in favor of the
Hay bill, which is likely TO be reported
to the house with few changes, the
most prominent of which may be q
clause relating to the promotion of mem
bers of the permanent personnel. So much
objection has been expressed to the com
mittee from various sources that the com
mittee may adopt the suggestion of Gen
eral Wood to entertain three separate
lists of officers, representing the guar
! termaster, pay, and subsistence depart
ments, respectively, for purposes of ad
vancement. The retirement of coone
Of the supply corps, who is of the present
pay department. for instance, would re-
suit, under this arrangement, In the pro
motion Of lieutenant colonel and a major
of the same corps. The same rule would
apply TO present quartermasters and pres
ent commissaries, who form the merged
list of permanent officers of the consol
idated corps. II this is done, the commit
tee is not likely to retain the provision
now in the Hay bill, for retirement as o.
the next higher grade Of an officer whC
fails OF promotion by one grade durinl
his active career after the supply corps
is created. The arrangement Of three sep
arate lists, in order to avoid disturbing
the present rate and order Of promotion
In the three staff corps, will not extend
of course, above the grade of colonel.

1t begins to look more and more as IL a

will be employed to avoid In the meantime
some very erroneous impressions prevail
concerning the number Of troops in Texas,
one statement published In the Washington
dispatches of the New York Herald, being
to the effect that the military force in
that state does not exceed a numerical
strength of 11,000 men. AS a matter Of fact
that are more than that number in the
troops forming the so-called maneuver d.
vision. There are between 1900 and 5000
enlisted men in the command at San Anto-
MO and in the artillery brigade at Calves
ton and in addition there are 1900 enlisted
men scattered along the border in Texas.
There are between 800 and 800 commits
stoned officers with the troops In that
state. This is considered by conservative
officers as sufficient to meet the needs
of the situation for the present at least,
No one is In a position to predict what
sort of a force will be ultimately necessary.
