CONTEMPLATED INCREASES IN
REGULAR ESTABLISHMENT

Increases in the regular establish
mcnt contemplated are:
Infantry, ten regiments.
Field artillery, four regiments.
Coast artillery, fifty-two companies
Engineer corps, fifteen companies
Aviation corps. two detachments.
All OF these new commands would
be organized at peace strength.
The plan is erected on the theory
that the nation must depend upon Il
citizen army, largely OF volunteer
character, in time of war. There are
many hundreds of thousands OF Young
men. il is said. who have both the time
and the inclination to devote at least
two months a year to training, and
the continental army would he COM
posed Of these. leaving to the National
Guard those citizens whose RESPONSE
bilitieS prevent their dcvoting more
than one night week or so to mill

field training, army officers are con-
fident that the continental army would
be as thoroughly organized as is pos
sible with any system short OF com
pulsory service. and n regular cstab-
lshment of 10000 men.
officers for the new army would he
obtained from civil life almost entirely.
as the West Point Military Academy
would be overtaXed even to supply Of
ficers for the increased regular army.
HOPES TO STANDARDIZE
ALL MILITARY SCHOOLS
For the continental army, the plan
contemplates drawing from the Ma
tional Guard and from educational in
stitutions where military training Is
compulsory at least 1000 officers i
year for each of the first two years.
Eventually, ii is hoped that all mill
tary schools in the country can be
standardized as to their courses in en-
ginccring and other military sciences.
The new army would be organized
in convenient geographical divisions.
and on the theory that it's members
could be citizens OF the districts in
which their organizations were locat ted.
Regular places of mobilization and for
storage of equipment for each COM
pany would be provided and every man
OF the force would know where TO go
and what he was expected TO do when
call to arms came.
While under training. tho men OF
the continental army would receive
the regular army pay.
