The organization Of the regular army

The organization Of the regular army
under the conference plan would consist
of 65 regiments of infantry, an increase
of IS regiments; % regiments Of cavalry,
an increase of 10 regiments; q regiments
of field artillery, an increase Of Is regi-
ments; $4,000 men in the cost artillery;
seven regiments of engineers. m increase
of five regiments, with an additional two
battalions of mounted engineers. The reg
ular army is about doubled, with partic-
ular emphasis laid on increasing the field
artillery and engineers, technical branch
es difficult to increase in a hurry.
The strength of the national guard has
been fixed at 425O0O men, with the House
provisions for federalizing this force. The
national guard will be apportioned 500
men to each senator and representative
from a state. The Senate amendment
proposed by Mr. Wadsworth of New York
requiring a double oath of allegiance to
the state and nation, is retained.
Aids Training Camps
Though the volunteer army of the
Senate bill is eliminated in concession
to the House, a provision is made in
substitution to extend greatly the scope
of the Plattsburg provision, so as to
paratively poor men. 1t is provided
that the government, while not paying
salaries to men in training under this
system, will pay all necessary expenses
transportation, uniforms, subsistence
and medical attention. 1t Is expected
that training camps will be organized
all over the country under this pro-
vision.
General officers Of the line would be
increased by four major-generals and 10
brigadier generals. The general STAG
of the army would be increased from
"a officers to 80.
The provision of the Senate bill,
which would have placed five officers
of the National Guard in the general
staff, was stricken cut, but provision
was made for officers of the National
Guard to be assigned to volunteer cit
izen camps at government expense.
A provision for vocational training
for men in the regular army, regulated
ly the secretary of war. was left in the
bill. and the House proposal for gov
eminent operation of nitrate manufac-
turing plants to cost not more than
S20,000.000 was also accepted. Selec-
ton of sites is left to the President.
The product of the plants. when not
needed in war time, may be sold for
fertilizer under executive regulations
Authority for the government to seize
and operate private plants for manu-
facture Of munitions of war in time Of
need is given to the President. who is
empowered to appoint board Of Ave

ficers--to investigate the ACCESSIBILITY
