Too Many. Army Posts.

Discussing the question of a future mil
itary policy for the United States, Secre-
tary Garrison said it seemed to be agreed
that there were entirely too many army
posts at the present time. and that many
of them were not where they We're USE
full or desirable under existing conditions
Whether this situation should be rem
edied,'' he continued "by concentrating
the army into a few quite large posts
or into only as many as would permit
regiment at least to be quartered in each
have not as yet formed any definite
conclusion in my own mind. Much may
be said effectively upon each side of this
question l hope when i get the time to
give this matter my most earnest con-
sfderation. with a desire to reach a con-
clusion that is best for the army. which,
of course. will be that which is best for
the country
The statement set forth the primary
objects which impelled former Secretary
Of War Stimson to reorganize the army
into the existing scheme OF brigades and
divisions as follows.

Education Of Commanders.

First, the definite assignment of COM
manders. their staff officers and organi-
cations to the higher tactical units. which
heretofore had always been done in times
Of stress and confusion. and after war
had been declared or hostilities begun
and second. the higher tactical training
of the commanders. their stats and the
organization so as to make them eff
fective.
The purpose Of the order, in SO far as
the first object is concerned. has been
accomplished" the statement continued;
THE Accomplishment of the second OBJ
ject of the order will not be so imme-
date or easy of execution. Owing to
circumstances over which the army has
no control, and as a result in large meas
ure of the necessities which in the past
may be said to have been vital to the
development Of our country. the army is
stationed in many posts and in many
commands. This scattered condition pre-
vents that practical training of brigades
and divisions and their commanders and
STATS which is so essential for war pur-
poses.
