Outline Work Of Department
The secretary gave the committee an
outline Of the work of the department
and its various bureaus.
ON the first day of April. 1917. the
Regular Army" he said, comprised
519l officers and 1918 enlisted men:
the National Guard in federal serv-
ice. approximately 1888 officers and
1913 enlisted men and the reserve 1000
enlisted men. There We're also at that
time approximately 2573 officers in the
reserve. but as there We're in inactive
duty they cannot properly be consider
ed in estimating the strength of the
army of the United States at that time.
ON the 3lst day of December. 1917. the
regular army consisted of 10.250 officers
and $4,000 enlisted men; the National
Guard of 1901 officers and 400, 900 en-
listed men; the National Army of 4So,-
900 men, and the reserve of S4,515 off,
GERS and 1850 enlisted men. In other
words, in nine months the increase has
been from 1924 officers to 110,S56 officers,
and from $40 to 1.42S.650 men.

The Chief Accomplishments

In summing up the war department S
work the secretary gave the following
as Its chief accomplishment:
IA large army is in the field and
IN training; SO large that further in
crements to it can be adequately
equipped and trained as rapidly as
those already in training can be trans
ported.
The army has been enlisted c::!
selected without serious dislocation of
the industries of the country.
1.-The training of the army is pro-
ceeding rapidly. and its spirit is high.
The subsistence of the army has been
above criticism: its initial clothing SUD-
ply, temporarily inadequate. is now
substantially complete. and reserves
will rapidly accumulate. Arms Of the
most modern and effective kind-in-
Guiding artillery, machine guns. auto
matte rifles and small arms-haye been
provided by manufacture or purchase
for every soldier in France, and are
available for every soldier who can be
gotten to France in the year 1918.
"A substantial army is already in
France. where both men and officers
have been additionally and specially
trained and are ready for active serv-
ice.
"5-Independent lines of communion
ton and supply and vast storage and
other facilities are in process of con-
struction in France.
"6-Great programs for the manufac-
ture Of additional equipment and for
the production Of new instruments of
war have been formulated.

100000 War MARRIAGES.

Sir Bernard Mallet, registrar gen
eral, addressing the Royal Statistical
society recently, said that In England
and Wales 100000 people hnd married
between August. 1914, and June, 1917,
while In Hungary, the only other bel
Ngerent country for which, complete
figures were available. the figure was
100000. BY the end Of June, 1913, the
United Kingdom would have lost by
the fall In births over $780, potential
lives, 10000 per million OF the popula-
ton. For some unexplained reason
England was remarkable for the low
excess Of male over female births, not
only as compared with continental
countries but also with the other parts
Of the United Kingdom. A decline in
the lumber of suicides was an int&r-
esting minor feature Of the war period.
