CHAMBERLAIN PROPOSAL
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Suggestion for Postponement. of
Army Reorganization May Re
ceive Garrison's Approval.

Postponement until the next regular
session of Congress Of consideration
Of the Chamberlain bills for the en-
largement and improvement of the
service, as suggested in Sena-
tor Chamberlain's letter to Secretary
Garrison, is receiving the careful at
tention of the Secretary. The PROPOSE
tion amounts to a recurrence to the
original program involving "a general
and harmonious scheme for the re-
organization of the entire army and
an adjustment of it's relations to the
by the War College several years ago
and submitted to Congress.
1t would be comparatively easy, it is
said, to make the few amendments
necessary to bring that plan forward
to meet the new conditions that have
arisen. Secretary Garrison, however.
felt that because of the lack of time by
Congress for the consideration of a
measure of that great Importance and
compleXity. it would be better to un-
dertake to secure some of the imme-
diate essentials for army Improvement
through the passage of n few special
bills, such as those introduced by Sena-
tor Chamberlain. -.
Even those partial measures, how
ever. involve considerable increases in
the army appropriations. which fact
may induce Secretary Garrison, in view
of the condition of the Treasury, to
look with favor upon Senator Cham
berlain's suggestion.
