REGULAR ARMY TOO SMALL. Gen. Miles Recommends Its Increase as Reing Necessary. Washington, Nov. 16.?The feature of the annual report of Lieut. Gen. Miles, commanding the army, is a chapter dealing with the need for a general reorganization of the military service. In regard to this feature he says : The events of the past two years and a half have resulted in a condition that the nation must prepare to meet. The need for an efficient and won organized land force for an indefinite period in the future is most obvious, and the organization of sueh a force cannot be wisely averted. There are weighty reasons why such a service as is now demanded of the army cannot be performed by a temporary organization. Gen. Miles points out that the practical limitation of service of the volunteers to one year in the Philippines makes this a most expensive practice, necessitating double transfer of troops and adding enormously to the cost of the organization. Hw also points out the need of a reserve force for the relief of the soldiers who serve in the tropics, declaring that the regiments that have so far served more than two years at unv.^.,nn ,.i 11 i -- jiriiniii^ miniuiirt jsiiiHini IHJ n1" liovod. Gen. Miles reviews his recoinmeiulation that the permanent force of the army should be one man for each thousand of the population of the United States. The report shows that, the urgent demands for troops for remote stations has reduced the number in the United States to a much smaller force than has been maintained at any time during the past 39 years In fact, says Gen. Miles, the force been so much reduced that at the present time there are not one-fourth enough troops properly to care for and man the. fortifications which have been; erected on the seacoast at an j expenditure of nearly $55,000,000. In addition to the artillery deficiency, the present home forco is not sufficient to occupy the interior garrisons properly or to protect life and property on the western frontier. The report shows what has neon accomplished towards the extension of the coast defense system. On this last groat work $55,000,000 have been expended and at least $45,000,000 will he required to carry out the present project. For the next fiscal year alone the sum of $11,807,000 is estimated as necessary to defray the cost of fortification barracks and sites on the coasts. Virginia is set down for $035,450.
