New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-11-29

Of his first document as head Of the war
| Department some important recommen-
dations concerning the creation OF a re-
serve force He hopes to interest Con-
gress I'm the project and to pave the way
| for not merely a repeal of the existing
law. as is contemplated, but the enact
ment of more effective legislation.
| In this, however he probably will be
disappointed, for the sentiment Of Con-
gress, especially among members OF the
| House Military Committee, is decidedly
| against any legislation which will in
crease the appropriations for military
| maintenance. 1t is a problem for the
con mittee to cut down by 100000 the
estimates which Secretary Garrison has
submitted, such estimates exceeding by
that amount the sum appropriated by
| Congress for the current fiscal year.
1t is Mr. Garrisons idea that a reserve
force may be established by soldiers who
| have served twelve months in the regular
army. and who may qualify as trained
| fighters at the end OF that period. The
enlistment term is to remain four years,
] u
ing law on that subject, and Mr.. Gar
rison hopes to have Congress authorize
him to discharge men who have served
one-fourth Of the period in consideration
OF the fact that such soldiers will at once
enter the reserves.
The opposition in Congress to this prof.
ect is founded on the fact that this will
materially increase the cost OF the army,
| and this is out of the question in view
OF the legislative policy.
