BY II q WAL KER
POLITICS IN THE ARMY
BY n. p WI
Star stafT Correspondent,
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON, July IL.

Metropolitan National Bank Bldg,
WASHINGTON. July IL.
Secretary of War Garrison, the New
Jersey lawyer, who made a hit as a
cabinet officer by his handling of the
Dayton flood situation, is preparing
to make war on political methods and
influences in the army. Within few
days Mr.. Garrison will start on an
inspection of the 157 army posts scat
tered about the United States, with
the avowed purpose of gathering in
formation that will enable him to
show that most of these posts are
unnecessary and should be abolished.
1t is expected that announcement of
this program of reorganizing the
army posts will raise a storm of pro-
test in Congress. In the opinion of
the secretary and most army officers,
a majority of the small interior army
posts have been established for pure
ly political reasons.
They are inaccessible and useless
for military purposes, it is said; the
garrisons average only about 200
men, who seldom have anything to
do, and they have generally been To-
Gated only because desired by some
congressman who wanted them to adj
vance his own popularity in his dis
trict. Army posts bring some bust
ness to the towns in or near which
they are located, and there are few
congressman who at some time have
not tried to have posts in their dis
tricts.
Secretary Garrison's idea is to con-
centrate the army in few large
posts, so as to permit of quicker
mobilization in time of war or emer-
gency. Under the plan of reorgan-
ization of the army, approved by the
secretary, regiments of one brigade
will be located within easy reach of
each other, so that they may be
quickly joined under their respective
corps and divisions.
With few exceptions, Secretary
Garrison would abolish all the posts
in the interior of the country, leaving
a smaller number of big posts on the
seacoasts and at some central points.
This plan of reorganization of the
army posts, or some similar plan, has
been urged from time to time by
former secretaries of war, but each
time the opposition encountered in
Congress has been so great that the
plan has been abandoned. Legislation
is not necessary to abolish the army
posts, but the war department, like
other government departments, must
go to Congress for appropriations,
and heretofore when adjustment of
the small army posts has been pro-
posed the congressman have warned
the war department that If the plans
were carried out there would be a
severe pruning of appropriations for
army use
Mr. Garrison has been told of the
opposition his plan will doubtless en-
counter. but expects the backing of |
the President in putting 1t through, |
and the result will probably be a |
lively row in Congress next winter.

with a large amount of energy and
enthusiasm, he worked continuously
out of doors with great success, and
later had a large class of students,
with a host of followers, not to say
imitators.
Harrison was one of the first of the
modern men in the early SOS to get
the real feeling of diffused light out
of doors. At that time he was con-
sidered almost a dangerous innova-
tor; though we accept the manner
readily enough nowadays. Yet at
that time he was leader, and his
