be further reduced within the next
fiscal year to 10000, which action
both branches of Congress. Public
attitude throughout the country. as
expressed in recent editorial COM
ment. indicates that the bone has been
reached, at least for the present, in
the recent cut reducing the Army to
175.000 men. As to commissioned Of
ficers, although the rumor has been
spread of a. possible reduction, no
/ foundation for this report can be
found in the expressed opinion OF
itary affairs. They believe that the
Army should have a, sufficient num-
ber Of officers to train and properly
function even a skeletonized Army
that this lesson was taught the coun-
try during the war. and that the cost
compared with large number OF en-
listed men.
Before the war. when all branches
of the Army could be counted on the
fingers of one hand. the necessity for
a relatively greater number of Of
ficers was not so acute. Today, how

1t is believed the country will sup

rather than that Of too strict economy
The recent lesson of the war taught

size of an Army and the number OF

not only with present unsettled con-

and wealth of the nation.

there appears to be a variance Of opinion

ate resolution, except re-enlistments Of
men who at the time of the passage
of this act have served more than one
year in the Regular Army or the Army
of the United States during the recent
emergency" 1t was pointed out by
member Of the military committee that
there are possibly a half, million men
who volunteered enlistment during the
war. These men, he claimed. would be
eligible for immediate enlistment under
the wording Of either resolution. and II
men were eligible for re-eniistment It
would be possible to Immediately recruit
the Army to q million men.
A bonus now in effect offers $50 for
fe-eniiStment, payable at once. II al :
vantage were taken Of this bonus and
it were assumed that men re-eniisting
now would be almost Immediately dis
charged due to their numbers. that sit
uation, IL correctly versed by members
Of the committee who claim this possi-
bility, would prove most acute, especial
ly in the face of the fact that the pur-
pose Of a joint resolution by Congress is
for greater economy rather than
greater army. 1t is admitted by some
members of the COMMITTEES that the
wording Of the joint resolutions is not
clearly defined. while others believe 1t
generally understood that re-enlistments
must be in sequence to be deterIninate.
that only men now in the service who
re-enlist would be entitled to this priv
ilege and the cash bonus Of $50. The
question is yet to be settled before final
action is taken. In the meantime re-

No other combatant branch of war
fare Is less understood or better ap-
Army than the chemical warfare
service. which rendered such heroic
and vital service during the world
war. The following extract from a
statement issued by the chlet OF TINS
service, in which he refers to the first
gas regiment. is of unusual interest:
"It was the first American unit to
train and fight with the British In the

Baker suggested closed session,
which request was granted, Follow
ing the meeting. members of the COM
mittee said the secretary explained
the attitude and method of procedure
taken by the department in eliminat-
ing unfit officers from the service.
The stand taken by Secretary Baker
was, that the boards appointed for
the purpose performed this duty as
well as possible under their construc-
tion of this part of the reorganiza-
tion bill. which part he said. was not
clearly defined as written by the COM

There 10 evidence Of = desire on the
part Of q number of former officers
to resume their places in the naval
service. and It is expected an effort
will bs made to pass legislation to
that end. Mr. Daniels was loath to
accept such resignations at the time
Of tender. and even went so far as to
withhold action In many cases. in the
hope that the onicers would change
their minds. Once having accepted
their resignations, however. Mr..
Daniels takes the. position that they
left the service for their own con-
venience. and At . time when the gov
ernment needed their services. and 1t
would be highly Improper to take
them back, and. particularly unfair to
those who remained in the service,
unless such men went back at the
bottom Of the iiat instead OF in their
former places. ~ - (,
