Wants Force I
Of 100000
Regulars

Washington, Nov. 5.-Immediate
publication of the report Of the army
general staff on the military needs
OF the country, differing materially
from the administrations continental
army scheme, will be urged upon
Sec etary Wilson by Secretary Gar
rison. Nv
The general staff has made an ex-
haustive study Of the problem OF de.
Tending the country and its insular
possessions. Its report, 1t Is under.
stood, recommends increasing the
regular army to 100000 men, perma-
nently with the colors and with re-
serves of 100000 fully trained men
to fill gaps in this force. Behind
this line 1t is proposed to have a
force Of a million men with at least
years training, giving the country
an army OF about 100000 fully equip
ped and easily modified men. No
synopsis of the report has been CIV
en- out and details are not available.
The administration plan was pre-
pared by Secretary Garrison and a
special board Of officers and officials
after careful scrutiny OF the stan
report. It was decided that the stan
proposals were Of such a radical ma
ture that there virtually was no hope
of getting them through. Various un-
official estimates have placed the
cost involved to more than twice that
OF the continental army scheme.
which would reach total of half a
billion dollars In six years.
