Mr.. Grafton has long been idcDti'

Recommendations.
Transmitting bis recommendations,
Mr.. Garrison writes in part:
MY Recommendation Of what We
should Immediately do is to fill up
the existing organizations which COM
pose the aggregate mobile army force
just mentioned to their full strength.
This would require $1,000 men. In
addition to the enlisted men just men.
toned, we should be authorized 10
obtain one thousand more officers. The
legislation to accomplish these pur-
poses would be Of the very simplest
character, being merely authorizations
to the department to do these things.
with the army thus increased, We
would then be able to undertake the
next necessity, which Is absolutely
imperative, and that. the preparation
OF q reserve. The present lcgisla.
ton with respect to a eserv has
proven utterly useless for the pur.
pose, it having produced in twenty.
four months only sixteen men. and
there is little or no hope that it viii!
properly accomplish its purpose.
The reasons why it will not do 80 it
IS not profitable 10 discuss.
"I am firmly convinced that if we
can use the standing army as a school
through which to pass men who come
into it, with the knowledge that ?
they are proficient they can be dis
charged at any time after Il year or
eighteen months, We will begin al
once to build UP tn" necessary re
serve, and will. for the first time in
he military history Of this country
have something approXimating a bal.
anced organization. Il .ea
