GARRISON OUTLINES PLANS FOR BIG ARMY;
BRYAN ATTACKS WILSON ON DEFENCE POLICY

M that provision the regular stand
ing army exists. II likew Sc provides
that organized militia may be main
tained in the dinerent States that the
national Government may provide arms
for this force. may decide upon the ma
ture and character of its organization
and may prescribe the discipline to
which II must conform. II reserves to
the respective States the right to govern
this force. to appoint the officers thereof
and to train it.
In time of peace this force Is avail
able to the President of the United
States. under the Constitution. to aid
in enforcing the laws OF the Union. to
aid in suppressing Instructions and In
sttutional provision which makes this
force otherwise available to the nation
III time Of war, and there. ore no law
con be passed by Congress making IL
20 available. In order to obtain what
ever Is possible to be obtained in this
respect, the act of Congress CONCERNING
the raising OF volunteers provides that
such organized regiments Of the National
Guard as volunteer may be taken over
into the service Of the United States
intact and not merely "a individuals.
1t Will be seen. therefore, tina under
the Constitution there is contemplated
two kinds Of military forces-one a
national force raised and maintained d-
rectly BY the acts Of the national Con-
gress, and the other a force raised en-
tfrely by the States, TO be governed, OFF,
cered and trained by them and to be
available to the national authorities in
certain specified Instances.
II the determination arrived at by
those whose knowledge, skill and ex-
perience make their judgment prac-
tfcaily conclusive II accepted. we should
have In this country a force OF at least
900, 1000 men ready for instant rcsponse

minence OF war. 1t Is surely not neccs-
6ary TO state the many reasons why
this force may not be supplied by a
regular standing army Of that number
constantly under arms.
For reasons which have Just been
pointed out II Is equally imprac;icable
to uggest that this force should con-
stst solely OF the National Guard OK
banded TO that number. There is no
Legal way that the National Guard can,
IN time OF peace. be governed, differed
or trained BY the national Government:
anu there Is no legal way, excepting By
volunteering. that II can be made avail
able TO the nation IN time Of war TO any
greater extent than specified in the Con-
sutution. which contcssedly falls short
OF the necessary uses to which an army
may have TO he put in the event OF a
war with a foreign nation.

Having reached these conclusions. we
approach the question OF their practical

Our military responsibilities include
mol only continental United States but
" the Philippine Islands, Hawaii.
Porto Rico and the Panama Canal. On
the military side. as distinguished from
the naval side. there is necessity for
provision not only for mobile army
troops-that is, infantry. cavalry and
Held artiliery-but for coast for,!hca-
ilons and troops TO man them.
AT the present time appropriations
are available for the maintenance OF an
army and all OF the accessory employees
thereof aggregating 5.023 officers and
102,9s5 enlisted men. OF these $1,000
men are mobile army troops. 10000 are
coast defence troops. and the balance are
hospital corps, quartermaster men and
other employees OF that character. OF
this total number. about $4,000 are on
service outside continental United States.
leaving therein about $1,000 mobile
army troops and about 10. 900 coast de-
fence troops. Deductions must be made
from these latter figures OF sufficient
troops to garrison the oversee posses
sions. which will materially reduce each
OF the totals above mentioned.
THE organized militia In the various
Srntes has an enrolment OF approx
mately $4,000 men and officers.
THE policy as proposed provides for
