Wood, commanding the department Of

two troops of cavalry and two regi-
ments OF infantry are all that are
modified in the whole division, com
prising twenty-five states, from the
Gulf Of Mexico to the Dominion of
Canada on the Atlantic coast.
Commenting thereon the general
said the reorganization OF the army
was urgently needed.
He said the regiments already In
camp were only up to peace strength
which meant that each regiment was
about 900 men short of war strength
He regarded 1t as likely that the
same shortage existed In all the states
in his department, which would near
that all the regiments would have &c
recruit and drill men before they
would be ready for service.
