by the general staff Of the army and
the officers of the army war college
to divide the state organized militia
into u tactical divisions, each division
to be provided with division officers
and with points of mobilization deter

Regular army officers say that
should the present highly perfected
national guard OF any state be called
upon to cooperate with the organized
militia OF other states in campaigns
such as to repel armed invasion, sew
eral weeks would be required under
present conditions before an organiza-
ten could be perfected and be
brought within the war plans of the
war college.
The letter TO the governors follows:
Il have the honor to inclose here
with a table showing a proposed ar
rangement of the organized militia in

bile troops of the organized militia as

the divisions to which they were as
signed and the troops OF the regular
army employed on these special mis-
SONS never would have any perma-
nent organization higher than the reg
rnent. The actual grouping of the
divisions into field armies would de-
pend upon the nature of the particular
campaign.
I'm developing the policy herein out
lined the unallotted portion of the
funds appropriated under the act of
May 81, 1908, will be made available
to assist the state authorities in max
ing good their deficiencies in auxil-
larry arms and special troops.
There is appended hereto a table
which is submitted as a guide as to
what the proper proportion of units of
the mobile army should be in the or
gsniZed militia of each state and the
District of Columbia. AS the organ
lied militia becomes more properly
pIoportioned in all arms there can
he a gradual readjustment of division
district lines.
In developing the questions in
vnlyed in the mobilization of these Il
divisions of the organized militia it is
planned TO detail an inspector-instruc-
ter for those divisions made up of or
CARNATIONS from more than one state.
! The duties of these inspector-instruc-
tors will be limited chiefly TO those
matters connected with the mobiiiza-
ton of the divisions for active field
duty under the federal government,
and will include the drawing up of
plans for the organization of any vol
upteer units which might be needed
TO complete the divisions.
War materials for the organized
militia will be distributed and stored
in suitable depots go as TO be at hand

eral government, and the military
authorities of the federal and State
governments will also be enabled to
balance gradually the force in all arms
and further develop all questions in
volved in it's training and prompt and
orderly mobilization for war.
with such an organization in et-
feet the general staff and the army
var college will be able to put all war
plans on a more permanent and salts
factory basis. Deficiencies exist in
these tactical divisions, il is true, just
as they exist in the tactical divisions
these deficiencies will De definitely
known and their full supply will form
goal for future legislation.
In settling upon the IL divisions
shown in the table a number of gen.
eIal principles have been kept in
mind, some of which may be summar-
lied as follows:
Separate companies of infantry
have no place in a tactical division,
ard they therefore have not been con-
s.dered in the table of organization.
! These separate companies, as well as
all separate battalions of infantry,
should be absorbed into regiments.
Where this course is impracticable,
these separate organizations may be
converted into organizations of special
or auxiliary troops to make good ex.
/ isting deficiencies.
/ Field armies would be formed by
the grouping Of two or more divisions
/ OF the organized militia, or by group
/ ing one or more divisions of the or
I ganiZed militia with division of regu
lar troops. Where such field armies
we're formed the organizations form.

War Department Gives Scheme
for National Organization
to Increase Efficiency.

Washington, Nov. ia national
organization Of the organized militia
70 increase its efficiency as an adjunct
70 the regular army in time Of war is
proposed by the federal government
The organized militia in many OF the
states has been brought to a high de-
g1ee OF efficiency as far as its effect
iveness within state boundaries is con-
cerned but, in the opinion OF many
officers Of the general stan Of the reg
ular army. the national guard is I'M
organized so far as its utility in con-
junction with the regular army in
time OF war is concerned.
The national organization as pro-
posed by the government is set forth
in a letter sent by Acting Secretary OF
War Oliver to the governors of all the
states, accompanied by a colored map
which infinitely explains the details.
II is proposed in the plan suggested
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-11-19

any army would be employed as army
troops or as the circumstances might
require.
THE adoption of this principle
does not mean that regular troops and
organizations of the organized militia
will not continue to train, maneuver
and fight side by side, but it being the
desire to make the tactical organiza-
ton of both forces permanent, troops
of the two classes are not mixed in
the same division. The organized mi
litia is localized and will remain So
while the regular army must go here
and there to perform duties falling
short of actual war service. If placed
indivisions with the organized militia
the withdrawal of these regular
troops would constantly be disrupting
