Alttle DifficultT Is Exbected Inl
Obtaining 280,000 Men Re
quired Under New I.aw.
NEW SALVATION ARMY LEAD
ER WILL. BE WELCOMED ..
HERE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. (Special.)
Little difficulty In obtaining the
280,000 men necessary to make up the
peace time army authorized by con
gress is anticipated, Major-General
March, chief of staff, said in his an
nual report made public today by the)
V il 1 UC1IHI LIHGUL. i HO -flUMXOU vm. " 1 .
taining 17,717 officers needed for the J
reorganized armv is difficult, now-1
ever, and was rendered more so, Gen- t
nrol Marph irt hv thn delav in the I T
enactment of legislation governing
the reorganization of the army.
"The magnitude of the problem of
selecting the additional officers re
quired to complete the permanent
nr.mnlemsnL" said General March,
"and the tremendous effect which will
inevitablv be exercised upon the lu-
ture efficiency of the entire army by
the character and qualifications of the
new officers to be selected, is indi
cated by the fact that the actual
strength of the entire army in corny
missioned ollieers on -April n, inim
was but 5958, of whom about 650 held
provisional appointments.'
Problem Further Complicated.
The general added that the problem
was further complicated by the resig
nation of 1647 regular officers in the
fiscal year ending last June 30, the
lerlod covered by his report.
Approximately 15,000 applications
from ex-service officers, and reserve
officers for transfer to-the regular es
tablishment were received by the war
department before the lists were
cloved, the eeneral continued, and the
task of selecting from these appli
cants the 10,000 additional officers
Tit-r ded to fill out the army quota is
still under way.
General March said a new and per
manent policy whereby the war de-r
partment "definitely assumes the re
sponsibility for the education and
recreation of the enlisted personnel'
has been promulgated as the result
of war experiences and "the illiteracy
so strikingly prevalent in the draft
armv." Functioning through three
sections, education, camp activities
and moral training, the new service
General March said, has, set up ma
chinery to "train technicians and me
chanics to meet the army's needs and
to raise the soldier's general intelli
gence in order to Increase his military
efficiency and to fit the soldier for a
definite occupation upon his return
to civil life."
Work Abroad Reviewed.
Reviewing the work of American
military forces abroad. General March
disclosed that the cost of maintaining
the American army of occupation on
the Rhine up to last June 30 had been
S257.000.000, which Germany is obli
gated to pay under the terms of the
armistice. Of the total due. tne gen
eral said, slightly more than $34,000,-
000 had been paid or liquidated, leav
ins: approximately J223. 000.000 due
the United States from Germany.
Reviewing the demobilization of
the war army, now completed. Gen
eral March reported that in returning
to civil life the 884.000 enlisted men
and 69.000 officers of that army re
malning in- service July 1. 1919. the
department adopted a policy of re
leasing the men not required for mili
tary purposes as rapidly as they could
be absorbed By the country.
Contract Liquidation Viewed,
Taking up the disposition of war
material and the liquidation of con
tracts the report stated that after the
signing of the armistice the depart
ment was confronted wih the gigantic
task of settling 26,000 separate busi
nesses aggregating a total of approx
imately 14.000.000.000.
"The work." General March said,
"is rapidly being brought to a con
clusion, with a celerity, an equity and
an economy that makes it one of the
outstanding accomplishments of the
war, 25.115 contracts involving obli
cations to the amount of more than
J3.100.000. 000 having been settled up
to June 30, 1920, involving payment
of $412,400,000 or 13 per cent of the
original .obligations.
The renort concluded:
"In all of these activities with
which the regular army has been
chiefly charged, both officers and en
listed men have displayed that high
sense of loyalty, pride. Justice, firm
ness. dignity and responsibility that
has always won them the respect, ad
miration and friendship of every na
tionality with which they have been
associated.
