( Present Strength Is
Inadequate.

The necessity of maintaining the
army at its present strength or
enlarging 1t. in order to give unin.
terrupted opportunity for recon
struction and enable the building of
IN adequate national guard and
organized reserves. is set forth in
the annual report Of Secretary of
War Weeks, submitted the Presi-
dent this morning. -
Tho regular army. the report
states, was shaken during the
fiscdi year just closed. by the
econQmy. drive. - At the, beginning
Of the year the army maintained
ar enlisted strength OF 206,365. the
report states, but this was reduced
To- 10000 by October. 1921.
sF Little Progress Made.
The early part of the year was
spent In, placing certain units on
the inactive list and in lrearranging
the dispositions of repdaining units.

be done in promoting the armys
reconstruttion and its cooperation
with: the. national guard and organ
ize0 reserves.
These developments had dis
oouragthg effect upon the personnel
ana only through great tenacity did
they meet the new requirements of
the economic situation. Their work

continues. was met at the close of
the year by the act which enforces
upon the regular army a reduction

The report points, out that this
strength is less than that deter
mined upon before America entered
the war. II must say that this
WsaEc Strs3sth Il. !. Inadequate" Secretary
1.-The regular army Is the agency
through which we transmit ali of
our energies In training and de-
veloping the national guard and the
organized reserves. There can be
no sound defense project that
ignores such a permanent force as
this, one that can accumulate the
store Of our military knowledge and
pass this knowledge on to the other
forces which can not be permanent
ly organized, at the same time con.
etituting q model for their guidance.
When we expend funds and energies
in developing this body, IL Is with
the transcendant purpose of reach
Ing all parts Of our national army.
We can never allow any considera-
tions to- stand in our way of in
suring the necessary strength and
quality. We should accordingly
seize the first opportunity to bring
the regular army back to the proper
tons which are required"
IS Gains In Training.
Notwithstanding the dainasing
mor6f effect OF uncertainties as Is
the future status Of the army, the
report continues. there was. during
the past. year. and. appreciable
progress In the training of units.
Gainsi were made all along the
line, 1t says in matters of dis
cipline. technical ability. and tacti-
cal capacity. Part Of this improve
nent is attributed to the natural
progress OF the officers commission
Cd during and since the war. and
part to the stimulating effect Of the
Secretary Weeks praises the prog
ress made by the national guard
during the year. The States, ne
says, have been eager to do their
share in it's development and the
citizens have accepted the idea and
