REORGANIZATION OF
^ AMERICA'S ARMY
Washington, July 23. Americas's
military establishment is being practically
revolunized under the terms
of the new army reorganization bill
which became effective July 1. Army
officrs say the work will not be completed
for some months because of
the broad scope of the measure passed
| at the last session of Congress to
, place the land forces on a permanent
peace-basis.
While the regular army will contain
only 295,000 officers and men
scattered over the country and the
insular possessions, it will be so arranged
in conjunction with the Na!
tional Guard and the Reserve that
rapid expansion of the nation's
fighting forces in time of emergency
will be possible.
The National Guard will have
about 440,000 officers and men, but
the strength of the reserves has not
I yet been worked out and will depend
largely on the enlistments of eligibles.
The regular army reserve as
it formerly existed, composed of former
enlisted men furloughed to the
reserve tn pnmnlotn ??
listment period ceased to exist as
such on July 1. In its place there is
established the enlisted reserve corps.
The members of the former, except
veterans of the world war may enlist
for only one year.
The officers reserve corps is composed
of officers who held temporary
or reserve' commissions during the
war emergency and graduates of the
student officers trianing school.
To accomplish the reorganization of
the National Guard the initial organization
of the reserve, the army bill
provides for a general committee to
% be composed of regular army general
staff officers and an equal number of
reserve national guard officers. In
addition, 52 other committees, representing
each state and territory will
arrange the National Guard organization
in each state and territory.
Some of thes committees have not
been apponited by the governors and
consequently this work has not yet
been put xinder way.
While no full plan of organization
has been made public, a tentative
plan to be placed before the committees
would divide the country into
nine districts with an army corps
in each. This corps would consist of
one regular, one guard and two reserve
divisions so organized that in
an emergency the two reserve divisions,
which theoretically would be the
only ones much below war strength,
could be filled up with selective service
men. A full quota of officers
drawn from the officers' reserve corps
would be available for these divisions
at all times.
The new regular army strength
provides for approximately 17,000commissioned
officers. To provide
this numhpr nhnt 7 000 roaorvp or?H
temporary officers have been kept on
duty and it is the plan to reach the
full officer strength by commissioning
about 7,000 such officers and enlisted
men in the permanent army.
Officers and men to be so commissioned
will be selected by a board, known
as the Perishing board, headed by
General Perising and including six
other officers.
The bill broadens the scope of the
reserve officers training corps at the
various ' cational institutions over
the cou y, provides instructors and
material for the schools and also
authorizes summer camps to last six
weeks for advanced trainnig of the
student officers. Graduates of the
training corps may be commissioned
in the organized reserve.
The reorganization measure further
provides that the head of the militia
bureau of the War Department,
which under the reorganization has
jurisdiction over national guard and
reserve affairs, shall be a National
Guard officer not below the rank of
major who will receive the pay and
allowances and have the rank wniie
on duty of a major general in the
army.
The offices of second and third assistant
secretaries of war are abolished
by the measure and their duties
absorbed by the assistant secretary

PONTIUS PILATE'S OFFICE
NOW HOME OF AMERICAN
Jerusalem, June 30. The office of
governor of Jerusalem once occupied
by Pontius Pilate, is now held by Col.
Ronald Storrs, a graduate of Cambridge
University and son of the Dean
of Rochester College, Eng.
His task is one to test the administrative
ability of any man. Jerusalem
is a city of disunions, where, whatever
may come of the future, for the moment
Zionist and Arabs are passioately
divided and to steer a just path
between them and induce them to
join him on that path is thankless
work.
It is to that task however, that he
dhiefly devotes himself. Twice a
week he has meetings of his favorite
pro-Jerusi lem society, where French,
British. Americans. Rabbis. Zionists.
and others who are in any way prominent
in the life of the city are
leaders, commercial men of standing
brought together and in the course of
debate, led to see that they have in
common a single citizenship. His
motto as governor is "unify and be
friends."
Colonel Storrs was one of the prime
movers in the establishment of an independent
Arab kingdom. He is 38
years old.
