Two major considerations are in

chief Of staff, to examine their detailed
plans for holding tomorrow a nation

scribed by General Hines as a prelimin-
ary muster of the war department itself.
Seventeen major generals were included
among the 23 officers summoned to the
conference. similar departmental mus
ter having been held by General Perish
ing's direction just prior to the first de-
fense test last September. In a state
ment explaining the reason for the con-

Naturally, among the moss important
unit plans are those of the several
sections of the general staff and of the
several branches Of the war department
in Washington, General Hines said.
"These officers will have to administer
the expansion Of our national forces.
To do this they will, of course. have to
expand themselves. Unless their unit
plans are carefully and logically drawn.
the officers cannot expand with rapid
ty and efficiency. Unless they are able
to so expand. the expansion of all other
units of the army will be deficient.
"The progress is planning has been
generally satisfactory. While the plans
have not yet been completed, they have
been carried sufficiently far to permit
their functioning on the outbreak of an
emergency. In fact. we have now
reached the stage when the general
basis of the plans has been stabilized,
and what is now~wanted is suggestions
for improvements in specific details.
