Dent Offers Substitute
For Proposed Army Bill
by HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. August 2s.-(Special }
Representative Dent of Alabama, former
chairman of the House military affairs
committee, introduced today a bill pro
viding for the reorganization of the army
which he intends to offer as a substitute
for both the war department and the
Chamberlain-Kahn measures.
1t contains no provision for compu1-
sorry military service or training. 1t takes
as basis the national defense act. of
June ), 1916, and proceeds by way of
amendment to that act The bill raises
the strength of the army from 10 ooo
as provided in the national defense act to
Zoo,Vb 1t provides for Is divisions of
infantry and one of cavalry. The IS
regiments of infantry including the
Porto Rtcan regiment. is the same as
that now provided by the national de-
fense act The bill, however, increases
the infantry by 4S machine gun bat
tallons, this being one branch of COM
Blatant troops. Mr.. Dent contends that
was successfully developed during the
war. 1t increases the regiments of field
artillery from Fl to As and leaves the
cavalry and coast artillery as consti-
tuted in the national defense act
The increase in strength of army rem
ders necessary an increase in the staff
corps and bureaus These are increased
by one-third over those of national de-
Tense act with the exception of ordnance
department, which is increased by
about one-half. The experience in the
recent war demonstrated that the ord
nance department was too small
The bill adds to the army as defined in
the national defense act an air service,
chemical warfare service and tank
corps.
In order to. keep up the training of
the National Guard and the reserve Of
ficers' training corps in various schools
and colleges of the country, provision is
made for 1917 detached officers in addition

new draft of the taxing machinery
chapter has been prepared but is yet
to be accepted by the entire committee.
1t makes a number of changes in the
bill as passed by the senate, but the ma
ture of these the members decline to
make public prior to submitting their re-
port to- the legislature
1t is understood some changes in the
income and coal and iron tonnage tax
sections have been made. but as these
have not yet been accepted by the whole
committee no intimation is given as to
what the changes are
Chairman Murphree of the conference
committee stated tonight that he expect
ed the committee to make its report to-
morrow. Whether it would be unani-
nous report or signed by only a part
OF the committee he did not indicate, and
other members of the committee OBJ
served complete silence on this point.
The impression has gone out during
the hast two days. however, that the
committee is divided evenly ON the por-
tons of the bill over which the hardest
fights have been made; that is, the tax
ing machinery and the income and coal
and iron tonnage taxes.
