"Small Regular Army in Time of Peace"

IN CONFORMITY with President

army reorganization act Of June /,
Secretary of War Weeks has instruct
ed General Pershing, chief Of staff, to
employ all the available resources OF
the military establishment to organ
ize, train, and otherwise develop the
National Guard and reserve corps in
to the effective forces.
Under the terms Vf this order no
skeleton regiments will be maintained
in the regular army, but the 10000
men allowed by congress will be con-
centrated in fully manned, effective
units, while surplus units will be
placed "out of commission" and the
surplus officers assigned to the organ

Guard and reserve corps.

Need of Navy Now Airplane Carriers

ing of the Oestfriesland. England al
ready has six airplane carriers" he
continued Japan is getting two. The
United States has none, except the old
collier Jupiter now being turned into
one, and unless congress changes its
mind will possess no adequate car
riers for some time to come.
''In the naval appropriation bill con-
gress refused to heed the recommended
ton for two airplane carriers. That
was before the bombing of the Oest-
friesland demonstrated the hard, cold
fact that the battleship can be quickly
sunk with heavy bombs dropped from
the air, and that the dreadnaught can
be disposed of by dropping bombs into
the water, without even hitting the
ship.
The airplane carrier, a gigantic
naval vessel, larger and speedler than
any warship afiOat, fast as the de-
stroyer, and carrying a cargo of many
planes-pursuit, reconnaissance. and
hombing-is regarded as the best way
to meet this new aircraft bombing
| menace to the battleship.
Those in charge of naval aviation
plans think the navy should be pro-
vided with eight airplane carriers,
each to carry so planes ready for In
! stant action.
