Washington, Dec. 15:-A regular
army Of 253,500, a reserve OF regulars
totalling $4,000 in eight years, and 9
Continental army of 100000 civilian
volunteers to be raised in three years
constitute the salient features Of 8
military policy for the United States
formulated by the War College Divi
sion Of the army General Staff ant
made public by Secretary Garrison to
day.
This army would cost Uncle San
about $500.000,000 the first year, ol
an amount equal to that which Sec
retaries Garrison and Daniels each re
commends for the reorganization and
expansion of the army and navy dur
ing the next five years.
Secretary Garrison's plan for the re
organization OF the army, formulated
independently of the general staff re
concentrations, edready has been
made public. NJ. Garrison called up
on the War College to formulate a
military policy last March. The re
port was submitted to him in Septem
ber and is now made public with Pres
ident Wilson'S approval. Although
hardly calculated to receive popular
approval, the War Department expects
that 1t will have an important infiu
ence upon congress in shaping new
military policy.
The report lays special emphasis
upon the fact that modern means OF
communication have destroyed the
isolation which so long constituted the
United States most secure defence.
THE safeguard OF isolation no long
er exists" says the war experts of the
general staff. THE oceans, oEce bar
riers. are now easy avenues of ap
proach by reason Of the number, speed
and carrying capacity Of ocean-going
vessels. The increasing radii OF action
of the submarine, the aeroplane, and
wireless telegraphy all supplement
ocean transport in placing both ouI
Atlantic and Pacific coasts within the
sphere of hostile activities of oversee
nations"
To emphasize the importance of i'm,
proved communication, the report
calmly asserts that with conditions
as they We're abroad up to August
1914, German with vessels of $500.
900 tons capacity at her command
might reasonably be expected TO
transport and land on our coasts" an
expedition of 3S7,00 men within 16
days and 100000 more within 80 days.
In other words, $4,000 men in two
expeditions within a month. Other
interesting figures, based upon control
of the sea by the various powers are
given, Japan according to these figures
could land $4,000 troops in 90 days,
and $4,000 more, or a. total of 200
in Al days.
In this connection the War College
report says:
without superiority on the sea or
an adequate land force there is no.
thing to prevent any hostile power
or coalition of powers from landing
on our shores such part of It's trained

and disciplined troops as its available
transports can carry. The time re-
quired is limited only by the average
speed OF its vessels and the delay
necessarily consumed in embarking
and disembarking. We are forced to
the conclusion that we must be pre-.
pared TO resist combined land and
sea operation of formidable strength"
With the regular army recruited to
253,000 troops. the plan of the War
College would be to have $4,000, in.
cluding $1,000 coast artillery con.
stantly in Continental United States.
The term of enlistment would be ex.
tended to eight years. two with the
colors and six in reserve. 1t Is es.
timated that from the mobile army
troops with the colors in the United
States there would be accumulated in
eight years a reserve of $4,000 max
ing with the $4,000 mobile troops
with the colors a total of 100000 reg
ulars and reserves OF regulars in the
continental limits.
Provision is also made for a Con-
tinental army. along lines similar to
those laid down by Secretary Garri-
son in his report. The War College,
however, would recruit a Continental
army of 100000 civilian volunteers, to
be raised in three annual increments.
They would be enlisted for three years
with the colors and for three years on
furlouSh. These troops would receive
three months training annually for
three years and would have three
months additional training after being
called out for war service and before
taking the field. They would res

gives total of more than a million
troops ready for any emergency, once
the system were in working order.
Besides providing $7,OO0,00O annual.
ly for the regular militia, the report
says mo legislation affecting the or
ganized militia II recommended be-
yond the repeal of all provisions of
law now in effect whereby militia or
military organizations may or must be
received into the federal service in
advance of any other forces" This
would give the president absolutely
free rein in calling for volunteers.
In the opinion Of the War College,
the militia as at present constituted
cannot be included in the first line of
the country's defe noes. The report
says: mo force can be considered a
portion Of our first line whose con-
troll and training is so little subject
to federal authority in peace. No
force should be considered q portion
of our first line In war unless it be
maintained fully organized and equip

would exclude the Organized Militia
from consideration for service in the
first line, mainly because of the i'm.
possibility of giving it in peace the
training required"
