The amendments include authority to
increase the general staff to 90 members.
to increase the number of machine gun
companies in each army division from 10

commissioned officers in each army unit.
The war department was asked also to

by the general staff in lieu Of the $50
monthly allowance given by Congress to
dependents of national guardsmen during

The committee Is divided on the selec-

in on both sides OF the question. Many
senators are personally opposed to con-

Washington, April 15.-Against the
Judgment of military experts as to the
wise course in the present emergen-
cy, the was department was compelled
TO reverse a previous ruling Saturday
and announced that under existing
law states have the right to organize
new units Of the national guard. This
opens the door to expansion of he ex-
listing guard force of about
125, 900 men to 400, 900 at peace strength
or more thar $780, 900 on war footing.
The department has planned to draft
into federal service only existing units
of the guard Plus such auxiliary
troops as might be needed. twenty
states have applied for permission to
raise new regiments. however, ana
Secretary Baker ordered a new study
of the national defence act to deter
mino whether the acceptance of the
units up to tho limits set in the act
was mandatory. Judge Advocate-Gen-
eral Crowdcr took this view and his
ruling was approved by the secretary.
An effort to prevent immediate Or
ganiZation Of new regiments was made
simultaneously. however. The COVER
nors were asked to see to it thai ex-
listing units were filled up to peace
strength before any now ones were
organized. Shortage Of equipment pre-
vents the immediate acceptance of
such new regiments. as the depart
ment has not lad appropriations for
reserve supplies. and it will take from
two to three mcnths to provide for the
forces which will be organized unde
Yesterdays ruling. There are not
enough supplies on hand to provide
even for existing units at war strength.
Secretary made it plain in commn-
nications to Gov. Cox of Ohio and 9TH
ers, that the department would in no
circumstance recognize skeleton or
CARNATIONS. but would require a rea-
sonably full complement of officers and
mon for each new unit.
If the state forces were raised to full
strength the present total of more
than 10000 national guard officers
would have to be expanded to more
than 10000 to provide the officer per-
sonnet for the fun II national guard
divisions contemplated by the national
defence act. The War department has
felt disinclined to add in this way to
it's already heavy burden in finding
and training officers for the war time
armies hat are to be raised.
The Senate military committee Sat
urday cleared the way for taking up
the war legislation Monday by com
plotting consideration of war depart
ment amendments to the present ma
tional defence act to perfect the reg
ular army organization. Whether pub
Nc hearings on the new army bill and
it's selectivc draft feature will be held
has not been decided. Many requests
for hearings have been received.
