REPORT CIVENT0C0NCRESS
Standing Army Sow Over 72,000
Would Organize Militia on Basis
For War Drafting
Special to the Evening Review.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 10.
The total estimates of the War De
partment for the next fiscal year, as
shown by the annual report of the
Secretary of War, amount to $189,
7f6,039, an Increase of about Ti2,
000,000 over the appropriations for
the present fiscal year. This Increase
Is largely for river and harbor work,
and olher public works of a civil
character, for which purpose about
$24,000,01)0 Is asked. Or the bal
ance, about $10,600,000 Is an addi
tional estimate for the support of
the army, military academy, and the
mllltla. For military public works,
such ob fortifications, arsenals, mili
tary posts, etc., the estimates call for
an Increase of $17,800,000.
Secretary WriKht especially recom
mends an addition of 012 olllcerB of
the army, and also approves a policy
for the elimination from the service
of all oflicers who full to maintain the
requisite stundard of efficiency, lloth
of these propositions wero before con
fcress at Is laet session and will be
strongly urged this year.
The necessity for more oflicers, the
report states, is duo to the unavoid
able detachment of oflicers from Ihelr
regular service with troops. Their
detachment for recruiting duty, for
duty an Instructors In the army and
at state institutions, as well as wltti
the mllltla of the several states and
territories, has occupied the time of
a large number of olllcors. At pres
ent thore aro on detached duty 691
oflicers and 167 more are absent on
leave of absence or on account of
sickness, llcaldcs this, examinations,
court-martial service, and numerous
othor kinds of special duty, though
temporary In character, make a con
siderable Increase In tho number of
oflicers that nre constantly unavail
able for regular service with their
commands, lie adds that It would
be a measuro of wlso economy to pro
vido an extra number of highly equip
ped officers for these added duties
that have been thrown upon the
army, as the result would be highly
beneficial In case of war.
Another method of Increasing the
efficiency of tho army, he stales, If
to eliminate officers who have not
the highest qualifications. Tho pres
ent law on tho subject does not apply
above the grade of captain, awl. It If
said, has utterly failed to accomplish
Its purpose except In cases of physi
cal disability.
The report shows that the army If
now only 92a 1 enlisted men short of
the autborlxed strength, due to great
Improvement In recruiting. During
the past year there hns been an In
crease In the actual strength of the
army of 19.168. making the present
strength 4116 oflicers and 68.612 en
listed men. a total of 72.628. Of this
number 63.102 are serving In the
United States, 12.101 In the Philip
pines. 4906 In Cubs, 1102 In Alaska.
611 In Porto Hlco, 266 In llHwall.
with 661 troops enrouto and oflicers
at othor foreign stations.
The total number of enlistments In
t the army during tho fiscal year end
ing June 30. 1008. exclusive of the
Hospital t'orps and Philippine Stunts
was 41.463. Of this number ll.7t:i
were re-enllstmenta and 29,720 were
original enlistment. Tho percentage
of native born (white and colored)
among tho original enlistments was
88; of the total number of enlist
ments. 35,435 were native born. 5,
869 were of foreign birth, 12 were
Indians, 28 wore born In the Philip
pine Islands (enlisted or re-enllsted
for hand muslclansl, and 129 were
born In Porto Itlco. Of the total
number 39.953 were white; 1341
were colored.
The number of desertions from the
army fell off to 4.6 per rent ot the
whole number of enlisted men In the
service during the fiscal year 1908.
as compared with 6.6 per cent during
the preceding fiscal year. The Sec
retary speaks with gratification up
on the marked decrease In the num
ber of desertions, not only during the
past year, but during the past two
years. The number of desertions
was leas in 1908 than during anv
fiscal year since 1901. Ho accounts
for this Improvement by the fact that
long-term military convicts are now
confined in the military prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kans.. Instead of
at military posts; more strenuous ef
forts are made (o apprehend and
punish deserters, and the method of
making enlistments has been chang
ed also. 1

sixteen times as mnny hits were made

The Secretary submits nn ostlmate
of (500,000 to enalno the Signal
Corps to tnko up military aeronautics
In a mora effective way than It has
done In the past. He reviews the
progress of aerial nuvlgallnn during

amount about 80 per cent Is nsked
for cooHt defense works, for which

United States nnd $5.-100,000 for the
Insular possessions.
The Secretary refers to the Rood
results accomplished by legislation
enacted nt the last session of Con
gress to promote the efficiency of the
mllltla. The principal effect of the
new law, he says. Is to make the body

000 of these In combination with the
Infantry, cavalry and field artillery
of the regular army to constitute a
Held army or 400,000. He estimates
that about 75 per cent of the 11 1,000
oflicers nnd men In the organized mll
ltla would respond to a call to arms,
and of the number responding a
small percentage would be eliminated
probably by physical dlsqiiallllcatlon.
It Is estimated that a little more than
60 per cent that Is, nhout 67,000,
would bo available at present In case
of an emergency.
The Secretnry states that the result
of cnreful study In tho War Depart
ment showg that In the event of war
with any tlrst-claHs power, we would
need at least 350,000 men for the
Hist lino of defense, and that as the
tegular army Is limited to 100,000
men. It would be necessnry to draw
250,000 men from tho organized mll
ltla. Ho suggests that It might be
-veil for the general government to
stlitiuhilo this result by Increasing
the aniiuiil appropriations for the
t quipmont of the mllltla and for gen
eral maneuvers of tho mllltla with
the tegular army.

MR. BEAK'S POSITION RIGHT.
In an Interview In the Portland
Journal, Representative bean, of
Lane county, Is reported to have suld:
"You ask me how I stand on the
United States senatorehlp," said Mr.
Hean, In answer to a question put to
him. "I consider the United States
senatorsblp has been fully eliminated
from consideration and should not
enter In any way Into the organiza
tion of the House. I consider that
that matter was settled by the people
at the June election."
"Vou eay that you aro absolutely
Independent. Does that statement
carry with It the question of a United
Stutes senator?" Mr. liean was asked
and he answered:
; "It certainly does. Personally I
would like to see a good Republican
sent to the United States senate. As
I said before. I consider that question
was settled at the June election, and
In the event that I should be chosen
speaker I would In no way use or al
low to be used In any way the speak
ership or the powers vested in the
speaker to further the combination
of any set of nien for the purpose of
defeating Mr. Chamberlain.
"If the statement No. 1 members
voluntarily wish to disregard their
pledges. In so doing the whole res
ponsibility must rest with them. 1
will In no way aid or Banctlon the
breach of any pledge, either directly
or Indirectly. "
Mr. Dean's position Is consistent
and honest, and one that he can take
without sacrificing his ante-election
convictions. Moreover, It Is good
citizenship to accept the verdict of
the majority with good grace and In
good humor. We hope Mr. Bean
wins his fight for the speakership.
