Our Army Getting To Be Just
Like MexicO's--All Officers

fore the United States enterd the great
war. On April 30. 1917. there were
53.165 enlisted men in the infantry.
To-day, with the total strength OF
the army considerably higher, there are
1887 men In the foot regiments and
probably, il is said. not 10000 Of these
are 10 be classified as just plain buck
privates."
Just a Framework
The impending additional reduction
in the size Of the army will show
further drop. officers say, and leave the
military machine just as highly spe-
eialized skeleton, the bones Of which
are the officers and non-eommissioned
officers.
Major General Harbord, deputy chief
of staff. pointed out the situation IN
the testimony before the Senate Mill
tary Committee.
There seems 70 be no way TO avoid
the scarcity Of privates. IL was said
to-day by War Department officials.
Unless framework Of trained spe-
cialists is maintained the army, u was
added, would be utterly incapable Of
quick expansion in war.
